This place is a perfect example of why I always ask hotel doormen for recommendations, versus the concierge, when I'm looking for a sports bar. This place was awesome! Nice flat screen TVs everywhere...even outside on the patio...and they were all tuned to sports. Friendly bartenders that make it a point to shake your hand and introduce themselves when you sit down at the bar, which I thought was a nice touch. Special kudos to the bartenders Rob and Tyler(?) for being attentive without being annoying...perfect service, guys! And the food was also great...always a nice perk at a sports bar, to have tasty alternatives to hot wings and potato skins. All in all, next time I'm in Atlanta for business, I will definitely be grabbing dinner and watching a game (or two) here!

For an upscale sports bar this place was terrible. The tuna with crabmeat came with no crab meat and missing the side of sweet potato mash. The manager never acknowledged the problem, just re-delivered the plate. The hamburger had over ten pieces of grizzle that I pulled out. The caesar salad came with a vinaigrette instead of the caesar dressing, effectively rendering it not a caesar salad. And to top it off...the waitress left the dessert menu and literally never returned to see if we wanted anything. A random bartender literally dropped our check off without so much as a word, and that was that. Never saw our server again. After waiting for her we just had to take our check up to the hostess. Overall very disappointing. Maybe an off-night, but most definitely not worth the money. Too many other restaurants that were are better to enjoy...don't waste your money or your time.

What's not to love about Dantanna's? Cute, friendly, personable bartenders? Check. Great food? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. I went here last night with my buddy for single ladies Valentines. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't overly packed but that all changed within an hour or so. There was about a a 70/30 split of men to women there. We sat at the bar and immediately Rob introduced himself w/ a handshake (which I thought was nice.) While we decided what we wanted 2 of the other bartenders (Eric and Tyler) came over and did the same thing. We ordered drinks (good drinks) and then dinner. I had the Wasabi Tuna w/ asparagus and mushrooms. DeLISH! It seemed to be a popular dish b/c the bartenders high-fived me when I ordered it and I saw most of the men at the bar get the same thing. My friend had the salmon. I didn't try it but she said it was great. We had the Krispy Kreme bread pudding for dessert. I must say that it is heaven on a plate but very rich so it is better if you share it. Everyone was very attentive, funny, and nice in addition to the food being great I am now a fan and will be returning.
I was so excited about "great food meets a sports bar". The food was alright and the service was terrible. I'm a waitress and understand a couple mistakes, but this was more than that. Asked me two times what bottle of wine I wanted, brought me the wrong one. 4th time got it right. Had to ask for water. Just very disappointing. Even with the cigar lounge, I was not impressed at all.

My friend wanted to go here for his birthday for good real food and the games was on the t.v. Well I can say the atmosphere was great however the server did not offer us the patio which I would have enjoyed and did not realized until we was walking out. The dinner was great! I had the mussels and calamari and my friend had some lobster ricotta dish that he said was awesome. His drink was an apple orchid and I had the seasonal beer which both was great. The downfall was dessert, I got it to go and I had the bread pudding which looked plain and they did not have anymore cream brulee for my friend so he had nothing. The only negative I have for the three stars is after paying almost 100.00 for dinner I had to carry my to go boxes out in my hand because the restaurant did not have any bags and the fact that they ran out of a dessert item for a 8:00 p.m. dinner was not acceptable for a Saturday night. My server Andrew was nice and recommended great options.

In response to David C. of Dantanna's. My review is valid and accurate. I did not bother to read past the first paragraph of your response to my review, because the first paragraph was so bogus, I did not see the point. Your weak attempt to disqualify or down play my review really exemplifies the character of the people working at your establishment. Maybe if you and your staff spent more time treating your customers with consideration and respect you wouldn't have to troll the review sites for bad reviews. I have other things that are way more important to do with my time than to sit online and write reviews. I was reminded of the terrible experience when I was cleaning out my wallet and saw your business card in it. I had meant to write the review much earlier but as I said, your establishment is not a priority in my life. I don't know anyone there in staff or any customers and have only been there once in my life(once too many). So you inferring that I may have an ulterior motive to my review makes absolutely no sense. As I said it was the WORST dining experience I've ever had in my life & that is not an exaggeration. I've been to places across this country and in other countries & yours was the Worst treatment I've ever gotten in my life. So instead of investigating the validity of my review, investigate and properly train your staff on proper customer service instead of giving another customer another reason to speak poorly of you. You can't honestly think people go out to places to have a bad time for the purpose of writing bad reviews-especially on a romantic holiday. Management was just as tacky and ill mannered as the staff was when dealing with the incident, so I'm not suprised at this lame response to my reiew. Work on your people skills.

I visit Atlanta about once a month on business, and this is usually my first dinner spot. So far, I haven't ordered a single item that was disappointing - I've done the Ribs, the gumbo, three of the burgers and the wings . I've come in groups and I've come alone - didn't matter - great food and exceptional service. I will say don't go on the patio if you don't like Cigars blown in your face - I made that mistake only once. But it's a Cigar place, so I can't hold that against them. I used to own a chicken wing restaurant and someone gave us a low rating once for not serving fish!?!?!? Luckily, no smoking inside, so choose your seat by preference.

I ate lunch here while visiting the Cigar Club next door. They have a close working relationship serving to be a really nice compliment. The server from Dantanna's came into the club to take my order and came back regularly to be certain that I was well served. I chose a salad/sandwich combo, which was very good and a great value. I can hardly wait to go back!

Dantannas is worth it. Although the meals can get a little pricey, I think that the quality is where it needs to be. This is not a place where I'd suggest "blowing it out," but rather a nice Thursday night spot when you dont feel like cooking. As far as being a Sports Bar, I love it. It's got a great selection of alcohol and the TV's are big and well-placed. Also, having the Cigar bar located within is a huge plus. Smoke down a stogie w/ a slice of their chocolate cake and a glass of pinot noir = heaven.

For a "sports bar", it was ok. Fish tacos are yummy, fries are horrible, mac & cheese with bacon is okay but pretty salty. I think it's a little overpriced. Service was so rude! I'll be watching March Madness at Twin Peaks from now on!

I have had drinks there many times and enjoyed watching games but not many full dinners. I triied it, I had an unflavorful salmon, bland mash potatoes, and the meal was all around very average. I was disappointed that I couldnt get something I enjoyed as much as wings or burgers or other basic bar food I expected better.

Nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather here in Atlanta. I know the heat is coming. Excellent selection of options on the menu...be it apps or entrees. The burgers looked good but went "non meat" as I ordered the "freuben". A grilled tilapia sammich. Potato salad was my side choice. Portions are big here. Tried the goat cheese app (served with Toast) also...............nothing special there. Lots to explore on the menu here.

Sometimes you can have a nice meal, hang out while friends go to the mall, and all is cool.... That is except for what may at first seem an insignificant detail. Be sure the parking lot guards see you enter the restaurant. If not, your car may be booted and you may be extorted for a $75.00 boot removal fee. Keep your receipt, and call the police. It's the only way to have the boot removed peacefully and without being robbed. Oh..... The restaurant? It's good, but why doesn't the management correct the parking problem? I don't give many bad reviews because there are a lot of very nice places we can choose from in the Atlanta area. But in the future, I'll find a place with good food and atmosphere like Dantanna's..... Without the external hassles.

Very good food, excellent help from Sean our waiter. My wife had ribeye and i had pan seared salmon and both were magnificant! We finished the evening in the cigar lounge in back but don't worry, if you don't like smoke, you can't smell it even if you sat near the door.

Have visited twice on business for dinner and pleased both times. Good service and food to match. Solo business travel means sitting at the bar, but that is a good thing at Dantannas as the bartenders are friendly and personable, taking the time to shake your hand and learn your name - great touch. Along with the friendly service, the bartenders are very knowledgeable and know the menu backwards and forwards, making for good recommendations. Favorites are the wasabi tuna, fish and chips, stuffed peppers,.and carpaccio. Flavors are spot on and dishes are fresh. All Dantannas needs to get the next star is a true signature dish.

OK FOOD, OK-GOOD SERVICE, LOUD SPORTS BAR, MID-HIGH $, NOT REALLY FAMILY DINING place -everyone ordered steak. Steaks were Ok. Nothing really spectacular. We've had better elsewhere. DH ordered an expensive wine by the glass and it was obvious it had turned as it smelled and tasted bad. Must have been opened, corked and sitting for a while. Server was good, he promptly got another bottle, opened it and poured it in front of us. Good recovery. DH goes here every few months to entertain out of town 'male' clients. DH likes this place. It really is a guy place...everything screams male bonding man cave atmosphere - menu/food items, dark interior, cigar room, a few large TVs blaring sports games (football on when we were there). I wouldn't necessarily say this was a kid/family dining place. It was next door to our Westin Hotel which was convenient. All in all it was an OK experience for our family but we wouldn't come here again as a family. Was crowded and loud on the Saturday night we were there. Lots of very young people, couples on dates, after-work drinking crowd place. I guess it's your typical uppity little overpriced Buckhead Sports Bar.

I work across the street from Dantanna's so this is a regular lunch spot for us. The patio is great for nice summer days - they open it up to the inside and also have a shaded part if you need to hide from the rays. The food is not incredible but it's solid - I typically go for a burger, wrap, or sandwich but they have nice steaks and seafood as well. The burgers are really good - I like to get a bleu cheese burger with the fries or potato salad. They have an ok draft beer selection - pretty standard with a mix of domestics and the most popular imports. (think 420, Fat Tire, Peroni, Guinness, etc.) There are TVs scattered throughout, big screens over the bar, and even the patio has TVs all the way around which is nice. Overall, this is a great lunch or dinner place - it's a great place to discuss business over lunch or to come watch a sports game. Solid food, good patio, sports, beer - try it out!

Based on some of the bad reviews, I must have come on a good night. Our waitress was very friendly. We had dinner there, had an appetizer and ordered simple foods, sandwhiches, burgers etc... so not the most expensive entrees. We were still treated nice. The food was pretty good. We'd come back if we were in Atlanta.

You're paying for the location and the name, not the food. Came here with a group after a Yellow Jackets game. The bar was hopping with people watching the UGA game. The food was good, but not worth the price. They do have a few "special" items on the menu you wouldn't find at typical sports bar. We ordered the ciopino and a freuben (fish reuben) to share, as these were highly recommended to us. The ciopino was a major disappointment. Ciopino is supposed to be a good mix of seafood in a tomato broth, it had half a lobster tail, a piece of crab leg about the size of my thumb, one shrimp and two clams. And a ton of overcooked rubbery fish (tilapia?). The broth was good but at the price I'd expect a much better variety of seafood. The freuben was ok, you really couldn't taste the fish at all, it was overpowered by the other ingredients. Sounded like a good idea on the menu, but not so much in person. Another member of our party got a burger, which was good, but comparable to a Chili's or Five Guys at a much higher price. Service was an issue. Our server was aloof, that's the only way I can describe it. She acted like she was annoyed to have our table (Maybe because only two of us ordered beers?). When the check came I put a gift card and my credit card in the book to cover the balance. I watched the server as she picked it up, to be sure the gift card didn't fall out. She rolled her eyes when she saw the gift card. Due to her reaction I kept my eye on her as she walked over to the register. . She swiped the gift card several times, then called over another server and continued to fiddle with it. After a few minutes she walked back and announced to our table (and the rest of the restaurant) "Did you mean to pay for your dinner with this? 'cause there's no money on it." I asked to speak with her manager. When the manager came over she told me, more politely, that my gift card had a zero balance and asked if I had my receipt. Um, no its a gift card, as in it was given to us, so I don't have a receipt. I pointed out to the manager that they probably don't sell people gift cards with $0 on them, so someone must used the balance at some point, right? Was there any way she could check the history so I could know what happened? She said she would look into it. About two minutes later she came back and just said "Nevermind, we're good." So, I have to think the server was not properly trained in using the gift cards, our server ran the balance, but didn't apply it, and then assumed the customer was wrong. Shouldn't the manager have checked into it before embarrassing my party? The fact that they figured it out and the food was decent netted two stars.

FOr an up scale sports bar it good. No smoke unless the patio doors are open then you not only get the cigarette smoke but you get the stinky cigar smoke that is so overwhelming and I have to move from my seat..... But when you want to watch your team play you put up with it I guess. Great wine by the glass picks and beer. The food is good, got the corn beef reuben but get the sauce on the side...trust me... the steaks are good cuts of meat but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money on a steak and suck up the cigar smoke. I'm sure I will be back when my team is on TV but not my TV...

The first time I saw this restaurant I was intrigued by the fact that all of the outdoor tables had their own personal TVs turned to different sports channels. I loved this idea and wanted to give it a try. I finally got the chance during restaurant week. However, when I went, there were no outdoor TVs. I guess they had decided to take them away. We were seated inside. Two waiters showed up, and it was too painfully obvious that one was a trainee. She asked us one simple question..."Have you dined with us before?" And after we said that it was our first time, there was a long and awkward silence. She just kind of stood there and looked at us expecting us to say something more before finally the other waiter stepped in and talked about the menu and the specials. He did a great job, but when he was done explaining and was leaving to give us a minute to look over the menu, the rookie waiter just left without having said another word. We never saw her again that night. It was really strange how that all happened. The food itself was ok, although the desserts were huge! I was only able to finish half of it, and even that was a struggle. Overall it seemed a bit pricey, and if not for restaurant week, I'm not sure I would go again anytime soon.

Overpriced and not that good. Crabcake sliders tasted ok, but so litte crab in them that I had only bread in my hands after 1.5 bites. West coast oyster selection is initially impressive but the servers don't do much to guide you to what's freshest/plumpest/best-tasting for the day. Good wine list, but don't bother asking the servers details, just ask for a taste if you want to know more - the two I approached were completely ignorant about wine and didn't want to be bothered. Lamb burger wasn't bad, but fries were gross frozen excuses for potatoes - for the price they need to put a little more effort into the food, especially given that they bill themselves as an "upscale" sports bar/gastropub. Not quite there, guys.

Came for lunch with a couple co-workers and sat outside on the patio overlooking the Lenox parking lot (yes, this is a good thing). Great customer service AND food! I got the crab & avocado sandwich and it was soooo good! The french fries that came with were also amazing. I'm taking off 1 star since I got sick to my stomach within the next hour and had to take the rest of the day off from work to hang out in my bathroom...however, the crab salad was really THAT good that i'd eat it again any day!

I've been traveling to Atlanta/Buckhead one week a month for the past 3 years for work. I usually stay at the same hotel and because its close, fairly often I go to Dantanna's for dinner. Since I am usually there alone, I sit at the bar and watch any of the sports they are showing. This place has a lot of TVs...not sure how many, but its a bunch and you can always see the TVs from your seat. This place is an up-scale sports bar. If you like sports and don't want to go to any of the many Irish themed sports pub-type, this is a good alternative. The food is decent, but not great. I've never ordered the steaks so I can't speak to that, but the burgers are decent and some of the appetizers are good (I'm partial to the baked goat cheese). The bartenders are always friendly and in fact, since I go there fairly regularly, they have gotten to know me by name. Not quite like Norm at Cheers, but its nice to be a regular at a bar 2500 miles from home. I'm sure I'll be back to Dantanna's because its close to the hotel and I can watch sports. If I lived in Atlanta I'm not certain I would go out of my way to go there.

Dantanna's has what you're looking for on any day of the week, whether you enjoy prime ribs or an awesome lump crab salad.Dantanna's has an excellent way of creating an upscale sports experience, while still feeling comfortable in watching the game. I would suggest it's the best way to either start the weekend off right or an upscale sports restaurant and bar to hit a late night. I had Sunday brunch there and it was right what I was looking for on a Sunday afternoon. They have a unique upscale brunch menu that is guaranteed to kick off your weekend as well as your favorite game. Menu selections consist of Fried Oysters Rockefeller, Shirred Eggs in Tulips with two eggs baked in crepes with Maine lobster, shrimp and crawfish, and a variety of fresh salads and brunch beverages. What I find so attractive about this place is that you can go with a group of friends after work to watch the game, step out for a date, or grab your girlfriends for lunch to play catch up.

Loveee Dantanna's. It's in a great location in the heart of commercial Buckhead. A great place to go after work or after shopping at Lenox. It gets minus one point however for their lack of brews on tap. It's really disappointing how small their selection is. I sadly order bottles when I come here, as they have some cool ales and Oktoberfest. Overall, I would describe this place as an upscale sports bar, because that's exactly what it is. Remove the big screens and shouting sports fans, it's like you're in a semi-fancy establishment. ;) They have some really good dessert and my favorite thing on the menu? Their crab artichoke dip. OMG. It's sooo freaking good.

Dantanna's is great for when you want to watch some sports, but you want a little nicer food/drink options than your local Taco Mac (don't get me wrong, I love me some TM, but sometimes you are just winged and burgered OUT). Watched the Falcons here a couple of weeks ago, and had a nice experience. Good parts: short ribs were awesome, wine list is always great, bartendress Gloria was fun and took good care of us. Bad parts: IT WAS FREEZING IN THERE, and no one seemed to want to do anything about it. Seriously, half the people at the bar were wearing their winter coats. Also, we needed some additional crostini things to go with our baked goat cheese app, and by the time we got them, the app was cold. Bottom line, even if there are some miscues, Dantanna's is a good place to watch sports if you need a change from the usual bar/pub scene.

This place deserves 5 stars. My only problem is that the service wasn't great last time I went. I always sit at the bar or around the bar and the service is beyond perfect. Anyways, now onto why they got the 4 stars. All the food is amazing, I'm stuck on the Organic Mediterranean Pasta. A bit pricey for sure, but a great splitting meal as it is huge. Please ask for extra sauce! You will want it. I also get a side of rolls/bread when I get it. The sauce is not heavy! It is an olive oil based sauce NOT creme based, which allows you to eat a decent size portion and not have to be rolled out. Atmosphere is amazing, lots of TVs and projectors. Location is perfect, right next to Lenox Mall. You won't be disappointed! The steaks look like their specialty so you should prob try them. I'm sure i will one day!

As soon as you walk in, on the right, there is a bar area with plenty of seating and several huge TV screens with sports playing. Pretty nice if you are there to catch some games. We ate in the sit-down section and ordered dinner. There are a couple projected TV screens in this area. They must have NBA League Pass or something because we were watching a west coast NBA game not on TNT or ESPN/ABC. We got the cajun chicken egg rolls for appetizer (excellent), my friend got the chicken and sausage gumbo soup and fish and chips, while I had the dijon-garlic hanger steak. The portions were generous and all of the food was good, although a little greasy. Service was average.

We went for Restaurant week and it was OK but not worth it. The menu selection seemed good but everything was just a little off. I had She-crab soup, a fillet with a baked potato, and chocolate pie. The she crab soup was too chowdery, you could hardly taste the sherry. The fillet was cooked to the right temperature but the cut was off, I didn't think it was a fillet at first. The chocolate pie was good though.

If you're in Butthead for a business dinner and the attendees are mostly dudes, this joint is a great option to have in your back pocket if you strike out at picking up escorts at Bluepointe or waitresses at Tavern. What? *Seriously questions whether to post that as an opening. Continues* The food here is a little above average as are prices, but it's an "upscale" sports restaurant in Buckhead. I forget the point i was going to make - probably some excuse about being slightly overpriced and how that's to be expected in this neck of the hoods. I'd also suggest Dantanna's for an after-work happy hour locale during a heavy sports season because the bar area TV situation is pretty epic. Seating is spread out stadium style so all seats have a great view of the monster projection screen and dozen or so smaller flat panels. They also project games onto some very futuristic transparent screens hanging in the dining area that so you can rest assured that you'll catch every play as you pretend to enjoy your coworkers story about that thing they did that one time. I've only actually eaten here once or twice, and while what i ate was obviously not remarkable (or else I'd be telling you what it was) that also means i wasn't largely disappointed, either. So there's that. I'm realizing now that this isn't probably a very useful review. So. Pros -TVs galore!!!!1!! -Beers -Some cute girls -Bacon (probably) Cons -You're done with work and still in Buckhead -Excessive stairs from parking lot to door require an inhaler puff Funny, at least?

Another dining choice chosen solely by proximity of how hungry one is and how close the dining establishment is (and where one's friends have migrated to after an event) So it was a perfect storm of variables that led me to a sports bar. I said prior to entering If I could see or hear a game I would walk right out. Much to my delight I didn't see or hear anything of the sort. For a Friday night it wasn't uncomfortably crowded. Clean, dark, woody and welcoming. Nice menu! Good service. The food was moderately good and the prices reasonable with a nice range if you're on a budget or want to go all out for steaks. On that note it's good for a group. My group had a good sampling of everything but desserts. The burger got raves. The salad got finished. The surf and turf was licked clean. My fried shrimp was acceptable but forgettable-and had an unpleasant heat, a flavorless heat. Lamb quesadillas were giving off oohs and ahs. I didn't try them (lamb aversion) but everyone seemed perfectly content upon leaving. I will only return if that perfect storm hits again.

I don't like giving five stars. Few things make me completely happy. (I relish giving one star reviews - but I'd rather avoid one star experiences) Somehow, nothingless than five stars at Dantanna's seems appropriate. For a place that offers itself as a sports bar, an upscale steakhouse and seafood destination, and even a cigar lounge - success just seems too unlikely. Yet it homeruns on every aspect. With plenty of HD screens, great sound, and fast bar service - Dantanna's is an exceptionally quality sports bar. And if you try to get inside on a Saturday evening, you will find a ton of folks who agree. Plus you can get one of the best burgers in town there while you enjoy the game and a pint. But even with the din, the dining room is quiet and relaxed. I am not a fan of seafood myself, but every person I bring there loves it, especially with a side of their mashed sweet potatoes. The steaks are aged and prepared magnificently, and I haven't had lamb so tasty since I was in Iceland. If you like to endulge in lighting $10 bills on fire, check out the walk in humidor of the Buckhead Cigar Club - located in back of the restaurant. They have a great selection, and a quality smoke completes the steak dinner experience. The clientele is definitely business class, but bar prices and non steak prices are pretty reasonable. And if you can afford it, business class is the only way to go.

I have since been back to this place several times and quite honestly, the food isn't all that great. Every single menu item I've tried besides the burgers and cheeseburger empanadas is really not all that special or worth mentioning. The service is still very good, they have an awesome patio and the cigar lounge in back is cool. If they could just improve the food quality and provide a better assortment of menu selections, this place could own it.

everything was closed so i decided to give this place another shot and im glad i did! they have a smaller menu selection after a given hour but their menu was decent. my friend and i ended up splitting a bunch of little plates as opposed to getting two entrees which is why i think i enjoyed the meal much more. we ordered the: - she crab cup of soup - crab fingers - wings - spinach salad w/shrimp

We had Blue Point Oysters (Some of the best I've every had.) Also had an Excellent Ruben Panini & an Amazing Pork Chop perfectly seasoned and prepared. A good place to bring a date. The menu sports a $9 burger on up to a terrific looking cut of grass fed beef at $42. Attire is business casual.

We went here for a work team dinner while in Atlanta and yum. If I end up staying in Buckhead again I will definitely come back. I ended up ordering the filet, fries, and asparagus. My biggest disappointment was I asked if the the fries were hand cut and the waiter said they were. When they came out, well, no they weren't. I would have gotten the mashed potatoes instead if I had known that...I had some coworkers get the cioppino, and man I was jealous. Usually it comes like a big stew, but here they serve it on a platter with a little broth and some linguini. And when I say platter, I mean MOUNTAIN of seafood on the 2 person serving. It was a fun time and like I said, I will definitely be back if I end up in Buckhead again. I'll just avoid the fries and get that nommy seafood.

Solid spot to watch a ball game though it's pretty packed and you have to get there early to get a good spot (or actually any spot is probably more accurate.) the food is good and I'd say it's better than typical bar food-- particularly I had a great salad with lump crab! it is more expensive than a typical sports bar but then again it is nicer/has better food...so that's what you go for!

David B.
Treat a sports bar like a sports bar. Come and order normal sports bar items...burgers, fries, simple things. I made the mistake of believing in the gourmet sports bar concept (this is a fantasy of mine). The tuna was overcooked and I could stomach only half of it. I did order it medium (maybe its my fault) but it was medium well to well done. I had a good time with friends and watched the all star baseball game. There is literally no place in the restaurant where you can't see a TV. Construction on the lower level of the building makes the appearance of the place look less than stellar, however. I will not be back.

I would never had guessed so many people would like Dantanna's so much! I suppose it reflects my general disdain for Sport's Bars. Still, however upscale it might be, the food is not the focus, IMO, and thus the overall affect is lost upon me. That said, it is swank and it has nice screen's. Can't be all bad, I suppose?

Cool grill/ high end sports bar atmosphere... The gumbo was tasty and how could I not try the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding ala mode? Thank goodness I was sharing it, or I'd have easily inhaled all 10,000 calories myself!

Osmond S.
Definitely a fan! Here's a quick list - Very interesting food. I had some strange Crab+Avacado burger which was good. But the gumbo was amazing - one of the best I've ever had. - Good prices - Waiter (Bob I think) was a really cool guy and very friendly - Good atmosphere but still very bar like - Convenient and fast. At least when I went there the service was good and I had no problems at all. Overall, I'm a fan of this place. I would love to eat here all the time, but alas I live in Chicago :( I will be back though!

We went here for my mom's birthday because she used to talk about this place all the time. I told her I picked it because I thought it was one of her favorite places. She said "it is?" jeesh...ok on to the review. They must have had a special section for birthdays this particular evening because literally the table in front of us and behind us was celebrating birthdays. Anyhoo, our server, I believe his name was Dante, was very nice an efficient. He gave us suggestions on appetizers, such as the crab fingers. Those were DIVINE. Also, the cajun chicken egg rolls were great as well. For our entrees, people around the table had salmon (which is what I normally get and don't know why i didn't get it this time), key west chicken wings, sweet potato (my mom had this together as her entree), and the springer mountain organic chicken sandwich (my entree). People that had the salmon at the table said it was really good. The key west wings didn't have much taste to them. My sandwich was okay, nothing really to write home about. It could have used something else-a different seasoning, mustard, something. Since it was my mom's birthday they brought out the krispy kreme bread pudding as her birthday dessert. It's funny, it took me forever to figure out that the bread pudding was made from krispy kreme donuts! It was delicious and served with ice cream. All in all our visit was great. Oh yeah the elevator on the outside was not working. Bad if people in your party are handicapped.

Went in for brunch today with a dear friend and even though the weather was beautiful and a bit chilly, we decided to sit out on the patio with the heaters for a change of scenery. The service was better than the last time I came even though the waitress was a bit slow at times. I will say that even though she was slow, she explained where the delays in service was coming from so that made things better. We started with the Cajun chicken egg rolls, rosa mimosas, and the oysters Rockefeller...which was all pretty good. I decided to get the grilled chicken ceaser wrap and was unimpressed. My friends had the beer battered shrimp and was unimpressed as well. We probably could've just stuck with the appetizers and been fine. Decent food. Nothing that spectacular.

I finally got the chance to come here outside of Happy Hour when our team took the admin out for National Administrative Assistant Day. It was relatively busy during lunch, and we ordered quickly, although the server wasn't as quick. We ordered a dozen oysters to share around the table. It was my first raw oyster, and I just couldn't stand it. I'll have to try them again one day but the fishiness really got to me. I ordered the crab cake sliders, which came with two mini crab cake sandwiches. Hit the spot, and cleansed my palette after eating that raw oyster... It came with a side of fries, as well as small tins of Cajun tartar sauce and ketchup. The malt vinegar slaw over the crab cake paired well. I would come here again if I could afford these high prices for pub food... And if service were a little quicker (lunch on a weekday should always be more in and out).

I ate here this evening during a monthly visit to Atlanta while staying at The Westin at Buckhead (it's right next door). This place is a great find and, in my opinion, the quality of food is better than the ridiculously overrated Palm restaurant I ate at last month in the lobby of the same hotel. I had the grilled salmon which, for once, was cooked perfectly along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. While it's hidden from Peachtree Street itself with being at the rear of the hotel it's well worth spending an extra minute or two navigating the busy traffic of Lenox Square situated across the street to make your way here. While I didn't sit outside this time (just a bit too warm) hopefully I'll get a chance to try that out next time. Summary: for the price of a full entree at a generic overplayed chain restaurant you could have a delicious meal here. The service staff is top notch too.

I enjoyed a nice dinner on the patio with some fellow conference-goers. Great location next to the convention center and sports venues. I really enjoyed the Lump Crab and Fresh Berry Salad! It hit the spot and the restaurant gets their seafood fresh, flown in every couple of days. I can't remember the name of it, but they had a great local beer on tap - something Blue Ale? Would have been nice to have the fans on outside, but enjoyed it overall. The service was a bit slow, but I live in the midwest where everything go go go!

I went here this past weekend and had the egg rolls. It was very good. My only con was the lightening, it was sort of dark, but our server was one of the best I have had in a long time. We never had to look twice for him, he was always checking in on us. Not sure of his name, however he did tell me he had been there for 8 years.

The best food in Buck Head! I love the pepper Salmon. The food was fresh and delicious! The friendly helpful staff and great price will keep me going back for more! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and nice ambiance!

This place is a fantastic sports bar. I came here with a couple of co-workers while in town for a conference. I did not know what to expect but was impressed the moment we walked up. The outdoor seating has TVs set up so you can dine outside and catch up on sports. Who doesn't want to do that? It was a little warm outside so we decided to venture indoors for dinner. I had booked a reservation and the host happily sat us at our table. He was really nice and made us feel welcome. Our waitress Tess was super friendly and helpful. She let me ask tons of questions and answered everyone of them which led me to ordering one of the best salads I have had in a really long time. Thank you Tess! I ordered the "scheel" aka Dantanna's wedge with grilled Buffalo chicken. Buffalo sauce is one of my most favorite things in the world so when I see it on the menu in a form other than wings, it makes me very happy! The sauce was pretty spicy and was cooled down nicely with the blue cheese. I added some avocado because I am a California girl and that's what we do! We also ordered a side of the bacon braised kale for the table. It was cooked perfectly and did not have the bitter aftertaste I sometimes get at some of the restaurants back home. There is also a cigar lounge in the restaurant. I am not a connoisseur by any means, but my friend is and he said there was a nice selection and the set up was good for chilling out, watching sports and smoking a cigar. I will definitely be back next time I am in town!

Food consistently misses the mark here... BCS burger - order medium and it was cold and raw in the center. Terrible. Blue crab appetizer - Crab tasted like fish - terrible. Oysters - Some tasted funny, next day my stomach was upset. Overall don't order any seafood here, it's not good and doesn't taste fresh to me. Stick to the basics that you can cook at home. CONS: - Food is overpriced for what you get. - Service is below average. - Wait staff is not easy on the eyes. PROS: Great atmosphere

We came in on a Friday around 7 or so. There was alot of people in there but we were seated quickly. Service was good. we got the egg rolls, the hushpuppies and the Frueben which were all great! the blue cheese mashed potatoes has a very strong blue cheese flavor but still good. I'd go back.

Spending $100 at this restaurant just was NOT worth it. I've had better steak at a Mexican restaurant. I was told by a close friend that this place had really good wings for appetizers but it wasn't worth it at all. There are way better places to eat in Atlanta! Don't waste your time here! Oh and also I'd like to add the management will pretend to send you gift cards if you make a complaint on yelp, but you will not receive anything, it's just them trying to tell you not to write a review on them.

Great spot to go watch a sporting event, I want here for NBA Finals game it was packed. There food is also good, service was great. I had a burger it was amazing, there fries are also good. Overall a great spot I will be back here in the future when I am in. Atlanta

I don't usually write reviews but I think this one should be shared. I went to Dantanna's one night for a couple of drinks with a friend. The next day, I realized my debit card was missing. I knew that Dantanna's was the only place I had been using it so I called to see if it was there. I described it and everything, but the man on the phone said he did not see it. I was sure it was there and no one had been using it so I was confident that I lost it, it was not stolen. The day after I called, I went back up there. A woman was speaking with me (I'm assuming she was the manager) and she retrieved my debit card from the office. I checked my account again after receiving the card back and my debit card had been used twice on Groupon. I did not report this to the manager or police because I had no proof of who the culprit was but all fingers point to someone working at that location. Just don't leave your stuff is all I'm saying.

Yep, Dantanna's is A-OK. I was pleased with my business lunch this afternoon. I ordered the half sandwich and half salad lunch special, choosing Tarragon Chicken Salad sandwich and the Spinach salad, sans bleu cheese. The salad was amazing! The citrusy dressing was very light and the crunch from the almonds was perfect. A little heavy on the red onion, for my taste but I just picked around them. The chicken salad was good. It didn't blow me out of the water, but was a solid, if basic, mixture of shredded chicken and mayo. It could've used a bit more herbs for added flavor. I loved the bread it was served on- a very fresh and squishy bread roll. Overall I was satisfied once the check came and I got out of there for well under $15, drinking water. Service was quick and competent. The portion was just right for a quick weekday lunch.

Not really great. They seem to be trying to hard and don't know what they doing menu wise. Good wasn't good. Service was ok. Much better options in buck head to spend time and $ here.

After running the Peachtree Road Race we stopped in later that day for a few beverages and some appetizers. We sat outside (they have a great patio) and were fortunate enought to have an AMAZING server, Aisha. She was absolutely terrific. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better server in Atlanta. Funny, smart, great to talk with, she engaged our kids, and we would come back again just to sit in her section. Also, we had a margarita (good) and the crab/artichoke dip (really good) and wings. Food and atmosphere were really terrific but the service was outstanding. We need to make excuses to get down to Buckhead more often. Last but not least, we had some Krispy Kreme bread pudding that should be outlawed in at least 15 states. That good. Highly recommend.

Dantanna is always an awesome time but this time I had the best waitress i have ever had Aisha keep my drinks full it was almost like she could read my mind when I wanted a new drink I will definitely be back when she is working. All her recommendation were great. A+++

This is our second time here and this place is VERY underwhelming to say the least. We were here last night for the Ohio State game (go Bucks!) and sat in the bar area. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels to start with. The bacon jalapeno queso it came with was hard and the pretzels did not taste fresh. Hubby ordered a burger with fries and a caesar salad on the side. I got the she crab soup. All things were just mediocre. Hubby loves his burgers and he was not impressed. My soup was ok-tasted like a clam chowder, with 2 small shards of crab. Our waitress was really bad. She was not attentive and we had to ask her multiple times for simple things i.e. silverware, water, condiments, etc. For the prices, you would think that the food and service would be of a better quality. Our last experience was not much better than this...

Ramon G.
So I thought this would be mediocre bar food and that's what I found. I just wanted a light salad after a long night of apps with co-workers. The "salad" was a lump of tarragon chicken on a "bed" of lettuce. Cut to the real: three sprigs of over size leafy greens. Under a bunch of meat and mayo. And a tomato cut in four. BUT they were cool and let me send it back and get something else. And they have beer and basketball.

Hate to give a bad review, but literally couldn't give this place anything but one star (or less). Came here for dinner and everything was terrible - food was mediocre, service was absolutely horrendous, our order took forever and to finish off they calculated everything wrong on the bill. It's my first time here so not sure if it's a fluke, but won't be returning anytime soon. Might understand on a weekend, but pretty sad for a Tuesday night.

We were visiting Atlanta for a conference and our hotel concierge recommended we try Dantanna's for lunch last Saturday. The food, atmosphere and service were fantastic! Our server, Rocky, was personable, offered (good) recommendations and made us feel more than welcome. For lunch I had the salmon sandwich and my boss has the mahi-mahi. We were both impressed with the food and even more impressed when the manager, Kevin, stopped by to check on us during our meal. The entire experience was so over the top that we even went back for dinner that night! We were lucky enough for Rocky to wait on us again. The food continued to impress and the evening manager, Cornelius, was also fantastic! Thanks for everything Dantanna's! This is a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Atlanta!

Wow, happy hour here is the greatest . Love their half off appetizers and their classic martinis. Best of all is Kevin, our Bartender. He is very courteous and very friendly, always made us feel comfortable and never lonely. He even remembered my name after a long while, which is not easy to remember. The other Bartender is Derick, another good guy! He always takes great care us always and makes us feel at home! Great place to be in a lot, because of them .

I had the misfortune of eating here for a work function recently. The Palm and Del Friscos are across the street, but I drew the short straw and ended up here. This place is so bad that it doesn't deserve the time I would normally spend on a proper review. Here's the lowlights: I think our waiter was smoking crack. I've never been around someone smoking crack, but I'm pretty sure he was smoking crack. Maybe bath salts? At one point we thought we were being punked because he literally brought the opposite of everything we ordered. Order a bottle of wine, you get a glass. Order a mixed drink, you get the wrong one three times. Order a blackened lobster tail and you get a blackened filet. To top it off he would mysteriously disappear at odd times - like in the middle of taking our orders (probably to smoke more crack). You get the picture. Absolute sh!t show. Now the food. To be absolutely fair my filet tasted fine. The problem was that five people ordered filets medium. Two were well done and three were rare. The sides were also wrong and some salads didn't arrive. We cut our losses and didn't order dessert. We brought several issues to the attention of the manager, but he was clueless. Could not have cared less. The final straw was when we left and saw a pile of dead roaches under our table. Absolutely disgusting. Dantanna's needs to be taken out to pasture and shot. Someone please close this place and put them out of their misery.

Had Sunday brunch, Food excellent (had Dantanas Eggs and oysters) great wine and exceptional service! Definitely a great place to go to with friends! Cannot wait to come back to Atlanta to visit again!
Best bar/restaurant in Atlanta area! I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and my first time visiting there summer 2014 my bartender Kevin gave the best service I have ever received from a restaurant..I worked as a server so I know good service and Kevin is the man! Explains every drink and food ingredient and gives his personal opinions and favorites on everything on the menu..special guy! I've been visiting ATL just to go there because of him..5th time coming in the last year! Definitely a place to visit and ask for Kevin he'll make your visit worth every second!

I really like Dantannas. It's a nice atmosphere, in a good location, with alot of parking, and solid food... think Houstons but with a sports bar element. ATMOSPHERE/DECOR: This is truly a high end sports bar and the clientele solidify this. There's two parts-- the bar area and the restaurant area (and actually there's a cigar room in back too). The bar area is filled with afterwork white collar guys watching the game, the bulk of them were in there dress shirts and slacks, sleeves rolled up, top shirt button undone and engulfed in a game while having drinks. It's a total white collar boys club upfront. The dinner area is chill, with great ambience, medium lighting both booth and table seating. SERVICE: The hosts are always very nice. The servers are nice, but they may have a caveat. For example the last time I was here I had an older man who was nice, but a little clumsy. This time it was a younger woman who was helpful and nice, but had a slight attitude. Those traits just seemed to be apart of there personality though. Because when we got temporary service from others (delivering food, refiling drinks, bringing boxes) they seemed to be more "normal" and friendly. FOOD: So far, its been very good. Salmon -- very good, I paired it with the bacon braised Kale. Made for a delicious dish. Mahi Mahi -- w/ asparagus and mash potatoes. This was a chefs special and it was pretty good, definitely very fulfilling. Filet Mignon -- I'm not a hardcore steak person, but I tasted my friends and it was pretty good. The young lady recommended how to have it made and which rub and sauce to use. (He got it medium, I forget the rub, but I believe it was topped with crab meat and a certain sauce-- he seemed to really enjoy it) Fries-- I just like there fries... perfectly made every time. Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls-- The last time I got them they were amazing, but I was also very hungry. This time they were pretty good. I'll definitely try other appetizers Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Ice Cream-- I've had this twice now and it's very damn good, lol. You feel like a glutton eating it, but it's actually not as sweet as you would imagine... it's perfect. I'll try different desserts from here on out though so I can review those. Bourbon Lemonade-- they added too much ice, but I realize I like bourbon lemonade... a true southerner indeed :-). SUMMARY: I have genuinely enjoyed Dantannas the couple times I've visited. I could see coming here for lunch or dinner, and I believe they're open late night (I've only been for dinner so far). It's a nice spot to have a dinner meeting because it's casual yet fancy at the same time thanks to the sports bar element. We also so Shaq here-- hard to miss 7'1 man though, lol, he stood out mostly because of his jogging suit apparel. You can wear whatever here for sure, there's no dress codes. Alot of business men are up front getting drinks after work and others are having dinner alone before heading back to the burbs. But its not just business people though, its also couples on dates, friends having drinks, etc. Solid 4.5/5 from me as of now. ETC: The one main con I can think of is when I went in February, some of the dinnerware seemed to not be as clean, we had to send some glasses back to get clean ones. So I guess they're more of a 4/5.

It's hard to find all my favorite things under one roof (red meat, cola ketchup, great scotch and cigars) and Dantanna's has them all. Every visit to Atlanta, I make a point to have a meal and cigar here. Does anyone know who the football player is in the men's room?
Love, love this place!! The braised short ribs are to die for!!! I have been there four times and always get something new haven't been disappointed yet! Service is a bit slow but okay never the less!
I ordered a flat iron steak with mac and cheese and brocolli. The meat was well cooked and delicious. I'm not sure if it being dry aged made much of a difference, but it was certainly great. Since this is a sports bar there are TV's everywhere. I was there for Game 1 of the 2014 World Series. If you want audio, sit near the bar section, otherwise you can barely hear anything in the standard dining area. I would come here again.

Now this is my new found spot, great place to eat and one of the best humidor around. They have a private area in the rear of the restaurant with lounge furniture and an ample amount of flat panel TV's to view the game on. The bar area is great and has an open air feel to it with plenty of sitting at the bar. It also has an outside sitting area and you can smoke cigars there too. This place came highly recommended and lived up to its recommendations. This was my first time to the Atlanta area and buckhead is the Beverly Hills to the south. Nestled Between large southern estates, I felt like I was in an episode of Atlanta Housewives from all the luxury homes and hoping night life around the area. Do yourself a favor and try Dantannas it's worth it and then cruise across the street and stop by the Cupcake ATM and make a withdraw of a large cupcake.

We visited Dantanna's last year around the time of the World Cup. Even though they had just been roughed up by a very large group of soccer fans, they still managed to have make our visit very pleasant. The food was tasty and the service was great. We even had a couple local beers suggested, which turned out nice. We would definitely go back for a visit!

Visited for our 31st Anniversary, Gift from our "kids" I am not a big Flounder person, grew up with it- to me it has little flavor, but it sounded so good as the special... It surprised me, it was great. I truly enjoyed the light taste complimented by the crawfish topping. The Asparagus was cooked perfectly, not fibery at all, crisp but not hard. based on my sides next thanksgiving I will be making mashed taters with Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic for the family.

Dantanna's has got to be one of my favorite places in Buckhead. The food is tasty and I enjoy the ever changing specials menu. My favorite dish was an Udon and Scallops dish. The Goat Cheese and Marinara appetizer is a must have! I give them a 3 because every time I've ever visited during lunchtime, the service is extremely slow and there's always barely any guest. Also the server is typically the bartender (short hair, African-American woman) and let's just say she doesn't have the best attitude in the world. The have a really good happy hour with great fusion cocktails for $5 AND it lasts until 7:00 p.m.! Thank goodness with Buckhead traffic these days. Overall, I enjoy the food, ambiance and price point.

Rom P.
One of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. Service is terribly slow, unfriendly and disrespectful! Food is poorly prepared and simply unhealthy! Bar scene is the only part of the restaurant that is fair, at best. Impersonal and a "no one cares" attitude about the customer and the food. On two occasions we went to dinner, we felt like we were obligated to kiss everyone's ass to get service and our food. When we complained the lady manager came over and said that's just the way they do things!!! Amazing!!! She should've been fired and banished from ever working in the restaurant industry again!!!

This place is awesome! I never had a steak so good! It is a bit pricey, but it's still reasonable considering the area it's located. The service here is good. The sides are delicious as well. They have a nice bar with a great beverage selection. It's not an ideal place for an intimate gathering however, it's very packed and a little too loud.

Outstanding all around....food, service and value. The restaurant is attached to a cigar room and both were great. The place is beautiful and looks like places costing a lot more. The wasabi tuna and the garlic spinach were as good as I've had and very reasonably priced for the quality and decor. Regarding the cigar shop, Mike was very friendly and very knowledgeable. This place has earned my business anytime I'm in Atlanta.

Actually my rating is 3.5/5 ,but I don't have that option and giving a 3 is too low for this kind of restaurant. Just learned that Dantana was just started in 2003, but it looks and feels more like a matured restaurant. I really like the location and the ambiance.It is really a hidden gem in Lenox ,even though I drove through here 100s of times I just found this one. My checking in here wont disappointment me at all. It's more like a sports bar with upscale ambiance,if they decide to drop the sports label then it will be surely an upscale restaurant. Of course it's not in my top 10 restaurants in Atlanta, but I would like to come back here when ever I am in Lenox mall (This review is not covering the cigar bar ,it's all about the main restaurant) Good - tasty food, great location,reasonable affordable pricing (great plus) , ambiance , service. Bad - nothing much ,but they can improve service or maybe overall professionalism lacking.

I've never written a review on yelp... I felt I had to on the experience my team had at Dantanna's recently. I took a team of 9 for dinner and it was the most crazy experience. The waiter was polite but are drinks orders where incorrect through out dinne, the food was not cooked as requested and there was a dead roach under our table. I brought all this to the attention of the manager and it was taken as oh "sorry, really" I'm sorry. I was shocked. I plan large numbers of dinners in the Alpharetta area, mid town area and downtown. I've never experience what happened at Dantanna's. Sad and I will pass this along to my other meeting planners in the area. Get it together Dantanna's in Buckhead!!!!!

Chris Z.
Felicia was my waitress. Cute, spunky... and had that 'it' factor. The place itself is like a man cave (at least the bar area). I watched a world cup game and had a piece of salmon and a salad. The food was good, the drinks were fine. One complaint is that the happy hour menu didn't really interest me. Not a great choice of foods or drinks.

Mike S.
Dantanna's is a pretty solid establishment and a staple for sports bars if you have time to kill between meetings. I always sit in the bar, normally because it brings about two things: shenanigans and good calamari. The tuna is also good if you can get it; I couldn't last Friday for a late lunch. Instead I went for oysters, a pretty average KY Bourbon ale, and a [Moscow] mule that was more ice than anything. The oysters were good by themselves but the vinaigrette should've been left in the back. Keep it simple.. Horseradish, maybe cocktail sauces and Tabasco. Also I had a Thai beef wrap that was actually pretty damn good for something only Thai in name.

Awful service! Mediocre food, decent atmosphere. Do NOT order the crab and artichoke dip! It tasted like soup out of a can before you add milk to make "she crab" soup. Yuck! I believe our "server" is really a busboy who took pity on us because we never received a waiter. He passed us 4 times without asking us if we needed anything. The absolute worst. This place seems to be a restaurant out of convenience because of its late night hours and bar. We will NEVER return to this place when we come to Atlanta.

I vacilated between a 3 star and 4 star review on this one. I find myself at Dantanna's about once a month for some reason or another, and I've had a variety of experiences. Note: we almost always sit at the bar - so I can only really rate the service there. The Good: Super friendly bartenders who really seems to care if you're enjoying yourself. They're pretty knowledgeable about beer, a little less so about wine. I'd say 3/4 of the food I've had there is solid - the seafood specials are usually a good bet. Bonus that it's usually busy but not so slammed that you can't get a seat, and it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The So-So: The other 1/4 on the food side. Strange shrimp on a stick a few weeks ago, andI find the peppered salmon to be over-seasoned (though I'm a fan of letting a great piece of meat speak for itself). One visit they had a shrimp and oyster appetizer that was generous and awesome, another we got about 8 shrimp that were just okay. In general though, it's a fairly solid option for a low-key dinner for us.

Kevin L.
They have a great cigar bar in the back. Dantanna's is a great place to go and watch games, catch up with friends or just have a relaxing evening at the cigar bar. They have great steaks and I absolutely love their tuna. The service is great and really go that extra mile to try and make sure that you are happy. if you order a Moscow Mule make sure you request it to be served in a copper cup, it makes all the difference.

I came here for lunch with my coworkers on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered our food around 12:20pm and got our food at 1:10pm. I understand that it was during lunch peak hours in Buckhead. There were three big parties at the restaurant but two tables ordered their food after us. So it's still not acceptable to take 50 minutes to get our lunch for party of six. Not to mention the service was terrible. Our waitress did not apologize for the long wait, she did not stop by for more water (until we requested), did not ask if we needed anything. When I made my order, I asked for the salad dressing choices. She responded to my request with, "What do you WANT?". The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the food was okay. I ordered the grilled salmon sandwich. It was on the blend side but with the mustard it was decent. However, the salmon was bit dry. Overall, okay food and worst service. I would not come back here.

The crab cake was really good. The only thing is there were little pieces of crab shell in it I crunched on one. The bartender replaced it and the second one was just as good with no shells so that was a one time thing. The bartender was a little sloppy. It was not busy so I was disappointed with that. I stopped at the two crab cakes because I was full but I will be back to try one of their famous burgers later this week

The Krispy Kreme bread pudding is the bomb!!! We came back a second night during our stay in Atlanta just for the bread pudding. We loved being able to enjoy an after dinner cigar on the outdoor patio. As for Denise. Awesome waitress.

Today was my first time visitng the place for a conference meeting. I think they need a sign pointing to where the place actually is located, but I found it. The place itself is nice. I think the decor is cool and the patio seemed nice. I feel that the choice that I made was not too great. The fish and chips were basically bland and not a great choice at all. It seemed as though some of the other meals delivered to our tabe had more appeal. So my plate was yuck! I plan to re visit for another update, but no Fish and Chips for me.

First time visitor, I decided to take my BF who lives out of state and is somewhat of a sports bar devotee and aficionado. We loved it! We sat at the bar; our server Dante was friendly, attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. We were surprised to learn later that he was a trainee, that's how good he was. The food with one exception was delicious. The appetizer, braised duck breast with gnocchi melted in the mouth. My drink, a Moscow Mule was so refreshing so I had 2. My spinach salad was so good. The only disappointment was my boyfriend wanted to introduce me to oysters--they were horrible. And that's not because I'm a novice--my BF who's eaten lots & lots of them over the years, agreed. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely return. Nice touch: the manager Eric came out and introduced himself to us too.

Service is terrible if you are not a local. They are slow to service you. Bartender spends more time talking to the regulars. Having long in-depth conversations. He was looking at his cell phone instead of seeing who needed service. Looks like a Cush job to me. With so many hotels in walking distance you would think they would cater to the business visitors as well. Place was practically empty when I was there. Very disappointed. I visit Buckhead often. Last time at this place. Poor management.

As a frequent traveler to Atlanta; Dantanna's is my go-to place for a great Creekstone burger or steak. Dantanna's is a great place to watch the game and grab a delicious burger. Overall - great service and good food!

So as I hate football, a sunday was perhaps not the best day to go when we were in town, visiting atlanta....however, the build your own bloody bar is FANTASTIC!! Very sports bar-ish, but has outdoor seating, nice servers, and did I mention the amazing bloody mary bar on weekends?!?

The ONLY reason I am giving them any stars is the Ciopinno! It was huge and absolutely delicious. It comes with a huge bowl of pasta so after we ate the huge pieces we mixed the smaller seafood with the pasta to take home. I would come back just for that. HOWEVER if I go to a steakhouse I expect the steak to be amazing. I got the cowboy steak and I asked for it medium and it was medium-well/ some pieces well done. It was chewy and it wasn't seasoned that well huge disappointment.

Yesterday, we wanted something "different" for lunch (translation- not one of the places we visit all the time) and the Boy wanted meat. So I threw out a bunch of ideas and he picked Dantanna's. I hadn't been in a long time and other than the ordeal of getting there - the 2 mile drive I have!- thanks to a lane being closed on Peachtree for God knows what reason, it was an excellent experience. (The traffic situation is not, of course, Dantanna's fault, just had to mention it - also, note that the company that owns the building they're in is re-facing the whole thing so while it looks like a construction zone, D's is still fully up and running just with only one side of their stairs open!). Anyway, it was a great lunch. I have in general (except for a couple blips per my previous reviews) always liked their food. Turns out that our bartender - I love to sit at their bar as it is such a cool shape and is good for a single diner, a couple or even a group - was Gigi, who knew the Boy from years ago at another restaurant. She was awesome!! We were definitely hungry so we started with the awesome chicken egg rolls, which are my fave version of this item anywhere in town- so well flavored, no black beans (I do not dig) and not stridently/trying to be "spicy" as some places try to advertise. And while I've had many a burger at Dantanna's (fully endorse them, btw) it was a day for steak, specifically the 8oz (or maybe 10, can't remember) filet - we got it to share with asparagus and fries. The steak was delicious. I always love their asparagus and fries so this whole meal was perfect. It wasn't too crowded - some wine tasting was going on with reps visiting at our late-ish (2pm) lunch hour, a good and relaxed vibe, super service and good food! Perfect break in a stressful week! Must return soon.

Food and service leave a lot to be desired. I only come here because of the terrace and cigar smoking. If the food and service were better, I would be here a lot.

Food quality is surprisingly high given the somewhat unusual 'high-end' sports bar theme. Food is well proportioned, excellent cooked, and nicely presented. The New York strip I had on my second visit was perfect. Side asparagus (very well prepared, i.e. not overcooked!) and fries (which were fantastic!). Fish tacos on the first visit were tasty, Caesar salad good too. On both visits, service has been outstanding. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Prices are not sky-high, either.
I've tried several items on the menu - all amazing! My favorite place to go watch my St Louis teams play when in Atlanta for work. They are always willing to turn the game on since they have several TV's and remember me when I come in, even if it's been a few months. Can't beat great service and great food - whether you sit at the bar or in the restaurant!!

In town for the week and we tried out this fancy sports bar. Happy hour was busy so that tells you something right there. Customer service was on point for us, this seems to kind of waver based on past reviews. I enjoyed the blackened shrimp fingers. The serving was generous and I'd say it serves 4 or more as an appetizer. Great deal if you get the happy hour price!

First time at this lovely restaurant. I loved the atmosphere. If you can, try to sit on the patio. Our server's name was Derroll. He's very popular and an AMAZINGGGG server. Get him if you can!!! Food? Appetizer: Crab & Artichoke dip. () Entrees: 1 Spinach Salad with shrimp added. I got the small portion which was very filling for a young woman. Once again, amazing!!! 2 Caesar wrap. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The wrap was VERY dry and the chicken was very salty. *Could've just been the cook on duty though* All in all, I will be returning. 5 out 5 stars!!!

The service and the food was amazing. I'm particular about good service from having been in customer service for years, so I've come to expect a certain level at my age. I was quite impressed by the hospitality by everyone I encountered. Our server did very well to answer all of our questions patiently as well as tend to our needs. We felt like valued guests the entire time. The manager also checked in and made sure we were satisfied. I'm quite a fan of eggs benedict and crab cakes, so I had the crab cake eggs benedict brunch plate. It was expertly prepared. It was not only delicious, but also plated beautifully. I'm sure we will return next time we're in the area.

I can't remember that last time I was so impressed by French fries. Dantanna's does some insanely good fries!!! Actually, they do insanely good with a lot of things. I stopped by with my aunt and sister for lunch, and I ordered the crab cakes, which were fantastic. And those fries that came with it perfectly satisfied my craving for something a little greasy, with just the right amount of crisp. Place was empty, but service was fast. Great lunch spot with lots of shopping nearby!

We came here for a family dinner, and it was a nice atmosphere for that. We were looking for a place to get a classic American meal, either steak and a baked potato or salmon, and we were very satisfied. I ordered a sirloin, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and tasted about as lean and melt-in-your-mouth as a filet (albeit with more flavor), which to me is a sign of excellent preparation. Both parents got the blackened salmon, and the restaurant was accommodating of one's request for it to be lightly blackened and cooked well. Both parents were impressed, and I must admit the salmon was as good as other fish places I've eaten at. Returned two times since then, got the steak once more, and most recently tried the oysters, which weren't quite as good at the steak compared to other places, but still a good meal. The place gets very busy on holidays, but on a regular weekend, you can get a table with no reservations if you go early enough.

Well, overall the experience was good. The steak was tasty the beer was good and the service was pretty great. With all that in mind, my steak was ordered med rare and could have been a little less medium with a little more rare. I ordered the ribeye with mashed sweet potatoes and a salad that came out before with champagne lime vin and it was very good. I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon barrel Ale to start and an old fashioned later... I sent back the old fashioned because it just didn't taste right. Honestly I am particular about how you make an old fashioned because so many people get it wrong. I ordered it conservative (no muddled fruit) and that's how it came. The server was really nice about it and the manager as well. The replacement wasn't much better so I just went with it. Overall I will most likely return to this place. All restaurants can have off nights but I enjoyed the service.

Stopped here for a lunch meeting. Ordered a blue cheese burger, which was good but not special. Where I was seated, there was a person seated behind me and our chairs were pretty close together. For some reason the server insisted on trying to squeeze through the narrow gap between the two chairs - and as you can imagine, continuously bumped into me. I would say at least a dozen times - making my experience rather uncomfortable.

I've been to Dantanna's on numerous occasions and experiences varied from okay to terrible. - CARELESS SERVICE. During the last visit, it seriously felt like the waitress was doing s a favor by serving us. As she was bringing beer to the table, she could barely hold the tray steady and when she put the glass on the table, both her tray and the outside glass were covered with beer. She also had a very careless attitude and clearly did not want to be there. She wasn't necessarily rude, but it just felt like she was doing a favor serving us. - GAME WE WANTED TO SEE WAS NOT PLAYING. Now, I completely understand that during March madness season, a Real Madrid vs Barcelona soccer game may not be on too of the list for many of their clients. However, we called and asked beforehand if the game would be playing. They confirmed it would be. When we got there, it was not. It took one of the employees 10 min of gametime to put it on the tv screens in the very back, with several other groups of people sitting and waiting. If it wasn't for my friend who knew soccer channels, this would have taken even longer.

I've now been to all three Dantanna's locations and once again had a great experience at the Buckhead location. I am giving this location 5 stars because I had really outstanding service from one of the waitresses working in the bar area. She was friendly, polite, and took good care of me without being overbearing or intrusive. As with the other locations, this Dantanna's is excellent for sports viewing with a theater-like experience provided by the big screen behind the bar and the curving seats in front of the bar. There is a lot of excitement from fans of different teams rooting for their team. The food is several notches above your typical sports bar food, but is not much more expensive than most other sports bars, at least for the burgers and sandwiches. I had a BCS burger which had a huge patty of high quality beef with some cheese and mushrooms. It was juicy and moist and extremely tasty. They have about eight drafts on tap. Most are from local breweries. I assume that some of these are rotating drafts. I had two different beers: an Eventide stout and the Three Taverns Single Intent. The Single Intent was not my style and I wouldn't order it again, but I appreciated being able to try out different beers that I haven't had before. I enjoyed the Eventide stout, but have had better stouts. The parking, by the way, is easy and convenient, with a free lot available with plenty of spots when I visited on a Saturday night. I strongly recommend any of the Dantanna's restaurants, especially for people who want to watch a game while they drink or have a meal.

I want to give you a 5 only cause your steak is halal!! However, it's not that amazing. Steak was okay! I definitely have had better for the price. Ordered the filet minion and it was okay. It's definitely better in taste than the top sirloin that my friend got! Desert: definitely a must!! This is a great place for games, nice outdoor patio, just not the kind of place you wanna get a steak at I guess!

Gary G.
I didn't expect much walking in, the look reminded me of a higher end chain restaurant sports bar. However, my opinion changed significantly after witnessing the efforts of a superb waiter, noticing the prices for the area were actually not the worst, and the food was presented well and pretty tasty! My dish wasn't my favorite, so they were teetering on 4 and 5 stars for me, but who knows, maybe the next visit I'll try something different and bump it up to 4.5! (I'll round up of course ;)

Luckie D.
Why 3 stars......I continue to come here for the patio, the location abd the NFL football games. This IS the upside. Had the bloody Mary bar today it was perfection. The food continues to disappoint. Flavorless wings and a below avg burger. Let's face it this is not the place for great adult food or inspired creations. Dantannas remains a great sports bar struggling with it's identity, who wants to be accepted as a restaurant.

For a sports bar the food is out of this world! We got in around 1am and found they served until 2am so we tried a few things off the menu. The Reuben was great, chicken sandwich was amazing and the wine list for a sports bar wasn't that bad. We loved the server- she was so sweet! I never expected the food to be good here but I am so happy it was:) We will be back!

Ella S.
Went here for dinner last night. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant, the one right next to the cigar room and if it was up to me, I would've requested another one. Our server, a tall African-American guy was super nonchalant. His demeanor was of someone who was very unbothered. We never even got asked if we wanted water! Someone else had to ask us if we wanted more cocktails and even then, they took another 10 minutes to arrive. For the price you pay, you'd think the service would at least be on par but No. Definitely won't be back.

Came here for the first time yesterday and was not pleased. It was the only place around that closed late. The place was nearly empty and our server was horrible. She never offered us any water, didn't leave any silverware for us, and was nowhere to be found when we wanted to check out. We had to check out with the manager. In addition, Our steaks were over cooked. Don't think I will be back...

Don't sit at the bar unless you are comfortable being hit in the head by the server tray. Even better was when he said, "you arright" and kept walking. Definitely put a damper on the evening.

Very good food! It's an upscale sports bar located in the upscale part of Atlanta called Buckhead. It has a great atmosphere and huge TV screens everywhere. Sort of a combination of 'Ruth's Chris/ESPN Sports Zone'. Service was good, they had to return two of our plates back for wrong side items, but it was rectified in a timely manner. For our appetizer, we ordered a fabulous lump crab cake which was true lump crab meat and not canned minced. We ordered steaks for dinner. The steaks have a choice of different rubs, my family chose the garlic rub. We each ordered a ribeye, sirloin & butterflied filet, all cooked exactly like we wanted it. The garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. The Mac-n-Cheese had bacon bits which have it that southern twist. Needless to say, our plates were empty :)

Kimberly G.
I absolutely adore Dantanna's! I feel it's extremely underrated. I've been here three times & two of those times, had the BEST steak cooked exactly how I asked. Garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus are both amazing, as well. Love their drinks & the bartenders & servers are all super pleasant & friendly. They have a great outdoor patio, lots of tv's, but the place is a little dark. Great for date nights or just dinner with friends. Sat at the bar one night this past weekend for wine & can't say enough good things about the bartenders. Super nice. I love this place & it's a go-to for dinner. Great location in Buckhead within walking distance of Lenox mall & multiple hotels.

A friend of mine from L.A. was in town for a weekend and felt like having a good steak for dinner, but obviously not at a restaurant that can also be found in California. We turned to good ol' Yelp for a steak place near his hotel in Buckhead, and we came across Dantanna's. Located next to Lenox Square Mall, it was pretty close, so we decided to try it out. At first, we were told we would have to wait a while unless we wanted to sit in the patio area. My friend didn't really care, as long as he got to watch the USC vs. Oregon football game from where we were seated. The patio was spacious and pretty empty - except for the couple that was smoking. Now I don't know about you, but I hate the smell of cigarettes - especially while I'm trying to eat. So, after trying to tolerate the stench for a few minutes, I finally just told my friend that I'd rather wait for however long we needed to wait than sit out here and EAT while inhaling second-hand smoke. He didn't care either way, so I told the hostess that we would wait for table inside. Fortunately we only needed to wait about 10 minutes for a table (after the hostess had initially told us it would be like 20 to 30 minutes). And luckily for my friend, the USC vs. Oregon game was on the screen directly in front of our table. Although I am a Trojan, I was never really into football and didn't care about the game. I was really hoping the steak was good because I just kinda sat there (with my back to the screen) while my friend was enjoying the game. After looking at the menu for a few minutes and being a little appalled by the prices, I decided to order the 8 oz Top Sirloin ($21!!!) cooked to medium temperature. My friend ordered the 14 oz Ribeye ($28). All steaks come with your choice of two sides, and I decided on the Bearnaise Mushrooms and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. I thought the sirloin steak was good, but not the best I've ever had. And I recall that it was cooked more medium-well than medium, but I didn't want to complain to the server. The Bernaise Mushrooms, which looked to be a mixture of two or three different types of mushrooms cooked in the buttery and herb-infused Bernaise sauce, were really flavorful and delicious. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were also very good. However, I could not see how the price of $21 could be justified! To top it off, when I got my check, I noticed that the server had added a couple bucks as an "extra charge" for ordering the Bernaise Mushrooms as one of my sides. The check indicated that it was a "premium side" or something. Funny thing is, nowhere on the menu does it indicate (with an asterisk or separate section) that any of the sides were "premium" sides that one would be charged extra for. So I informed my server, who then had to "check on this" and then came back with the corrected check. I know that Dantanna's is supposed to be an "upscale" sports bar type of restaurant, but maybe that's what I hate most about it. I mean seriously, this is NOT a nice place to go with someone who does not enjoy watching sports. However, my friend seemed to like this place as he got to watch the game he thought he was going to miss AND enjoy his 14 oz Ribeye. Two birds with one stone for steak and sports lovers! Overall, I feel that Dantanna's deserves 2.5 stars. The service was just "meh," my steak wasn't cooked as I wanted it, it was overpriced, they tacked on an unnecessary extra charge, and I just did not like the idea of the upscale sports bar. I feel like a place should be either a nice restaurant OR a sports bar, but it can't be both. Although the food was good, I strongly feel that it's overpriced and would not recommend this place to my friends. I do not plan to return. [Review 008 of 366]

Dantannas is a typical steakhouse. I went here with friends while visiting Atlanta, and I really enjoyed my meal. I was HONGRY when I got here as I had been driving for hours and didnt eat anything so I was ready to stuff myself - and STUFF I did! I got the flash fried crab claws as an appetizer - YUM. I got the 14oz. ribeye - bigger than I normally like it, but oh well. I got it with the Oscar topping, which is a cream sauce and jumbo lump crab with sauteed mushrooms & bleu cheese mashed potatoes. The food was GREAT! The steak was cooked just the way I wanted it - medium. And dessert, yes, I threw caution to the wind and had dessert. Not just any old dessert, but freakin KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING!!!! It was amazing. I was so full, I couldnt finish it, but I loved that I tried it. The service was good. Drinks & food came fairly quickly and the waiter was accommodating. If youre in Atlanta and in search of a great steak - check this place out!

Natascha H.
The food is SO good. I started off with their chicken and artichoke soup - delicious! Then I had a salad - and two sides - don't judge! The Mexican corn was so good. The best part of this amazing meal was the chocolate pie. It just melted in my mouth! Our server Johanna was great as well.. Very professional with great suggestions! Oh, and the take out boxes were cardboard and not styrofoam and I loved that, as styrofoam doesn't recycle. We shall be back!

This was one of the main highlights on my mini vacation to Atlanta. Sports fan, keep on reading. My curious mind wanted something different; I decided to come along and ride on a fantastic voyage to the Buckhead neighborhood. I had Dantanna's on my list of places to check out for dinner. Upon arrival, you'll notice a dimly-lit, semi-upscale sports bar in the center, while restaurant style tables sit on the left-hand side. Oh yeah, and just a couple huge flat-screen TVs right behind the bar. Honestly, I thought the crowd would be a little younger; I had to be the youngest male in the establishment. No, I did not stay around long enough to figure out if this is a Cougars bar. Nonetheless, there was a sexy vibe that could be felt throughout on the Friday night I attended Dantanna's. I fail to remember the name of my bartender/waitress, but she was attentive and friendly throughout. There was another waitress who came in some time thereafter to provide backup, and she was friendly as well. From the menu, I ordered the Buffalo wings. The wings came out just the way I like my wings, HOT. Napkins were drenched, water was gulped, blue cheese was dug into, and I finished a happy camper. The Buffalo Wings were priced a little more than what you can get somewhere else, but I was content on trying something on the menu without breaking bank. It was a safe, but good choice. There was not a big sports game on at the time of my stay at Dantanna's, but I would like to think that it gets crowded here when a good Falcons/Braves/Bulldogs game is televised. Would I come back to Dantanna's? Absolutely. Would I recommend Dantanna's? Of course. Will I find out if Dantanna's is a cover up for a cougar's bar? To be continued.

The menu is very attractive to those who want something different. The mimosa is a good choice too. The mimosa with tge red bull in it is interesting. It didn't make me feel like I was on an energy high which was great but I want tonight out that the crab cake.............. I had to take a moment. It is PHENOMENAL! I high five the chef or whom ever derived the recipe. I'm a Carolina boy so I know good crabcakes! Now, this thing called a steak. Baby these here people had me at the presentation. It was soooooooooo freaking delicious. The flavors you can vary so far as a rub or marinade etc. I love tasting new stuff but I wouldn't mind a second round here.

This is a standard sports bar in Buckhead area. Like other reviews said there are multiple TVs play different sports channel. Went there for lunch with coworkers on chick-fil-a football game day so it was packed with fans from NC and TN. I had fish taco with mango salsa and asparagus. The fish taco and mango salsa actually taste good; however it was way too soft and wrapped in a weird way so my hands got really messy. Attention: avoid messy food when it is a formal business lunch... The asparagus were too thin and overcooked.
I am in town traveling for work and was looking for something different. I went to eat alone (boohoo) but didn't feel alone as the hostess and waiter (Kevin) were very friendly and fantastic! Kevin let me know where they sourced their ingredients (local farms primarily), not because he asked but because they are proud of this! They are apparently known for their wines, but I enjoy beer instead. They have a great selection of local and craft brews. I started with some hush puppies, they were unlike any I have had before. They were light, came with some greens and a fantastic sauce. The corn inside kept them moist, and they weren't saturated with oil. I ordered the special for that day which was stuffed Ahi Tuna with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. The mashed potatoes and green beans were fantastic sides! The potatoes were straight forward but well seasoned certainly real/fresh potatoes. The green beans were also fresh and roasted well, served cooked and crisped, not soaking in some liquid. The Tuna was stuffed with seasoned fresh crab, and topped with a peppered hollandaise sauce. I asked for a rare cook on the fish, and it was cooked perfect. It was a generous, thick, cut of Tuna. It was seared perfect, and just barely warmed to the center. The stuffed crab was nice inside, and the sauce was fresh, and just the perfect amount. If I find myself back in Atlanta, I will definitely return.

The only reason I can give this place a two is that the appetizer was good. Other than that, the food took too long before it was delivered which may explain why my fries were cold. My burger was utterly disgusting and it left me with a horrendous aftertaste. My friend ordered the shrimp and said it had no flavor at all. On top of that the waitress was unpersonable and appeared to be put out having to take our order.

Nice decor. Mostly attentive service. Plenty of TV's. Really good burgers. The only drawback? The fries are terrible. Any sports bar (and that's what it is, albeit an upscale one) needs to offer great fries.

I'd give Dantanna's 2 stars at best, and only because the food was decent. The atmosphere at 9 pm was awful. We sat in the dining room. If you face the back of the dining room, you are going to be dealing with a disco ball type of light show based on where their projector is located. The back wall has mirrors that also catch the light so it gives off an abandoned bar at 3 am feel even at 9pm. Plus the light ray from the projector hits the mirrors and shines back in your eye. Our server was ok at first. Orders taken correctly and service was prompt until it seemed she got a few too many tables. I know this isn't her fault but she was clearly flustered. The manager then delivered our food to the wrong table, figured it out, picked it up off their table and brought to ours. After waiting almost 10 minutes to see our server to get our table cleared and to get our check, we finally just sat our credit card on the edge of the table to give our server a hint. She grabbed it up, and we expected her to ring our check and return it immediately (the register was 6 feet at most from our table). However, she walked around with our card in her apron for 5 minutes, and even went to her purse to grab cigarettes WITH our card in her apron! Finally she walked back by and I asked for our check and our card back. She seemed to have forgotten completely that she had even grabbed it! Another server was yelling over tables to the host that they were all going out and that she had better come with them! Overall, yuck. Decent food is not enough to save an experience like that.

I initially went with three stars, but had to bump it up a notch because of the service we received from the bartender. Wow, he was definitely on his game that night very friendly and his descriptions of dishes on the menu almost made me want to order one of everything he was describing. This place is definitely the spot for an after work happy hour, as it was pretty busy around 6, and the whole bar area was packed with people watching the games on TV. *read: great spot for singles* The food (Ruben sandwich) was plentiful and pretty good.

Great place. I love sitting at the bar and having dinner. The after-work crowd is great. The bartenders are very nice and interactive...and the food is really good. I had the wasabi tuna and it was AMAZING! The TVs are great for watching sports while enjoying a cocktail and food. The restaurant side looked nice...I'll have to go back and take friends to sit on that side.

DUDE, the steak here is AMAZINGGGGGGG holyyyy molyyyyyyy didnt think much of the beer/bar/etc....bc we were here for MEAT! haha I got the 14 oz New York Strip (medium rare plus) and my friend got the 20 oz Cowboy Cut Ribeye (Pittsburgh--blue on the inside & charred on the outside). Both were cooked PERFECTLY and seasoned PERFECTLY. omg I would like some right away....right now..... had a bowl of their she crab soup. it was pretty tasty, but got a few crab shells....so weird....maybe this indicates...the.....freshness of the crab?? but there really werent that many chunks of crab....soooo....hm? -1 star bc of the price.... it was much much much much more expensive than anything else on the menu, both around $30. but really +1 star bc it was so delish.

Dantanna's rests in a part of Atlanta where it is seen and be seen. While traffic can be murder to get there, parking is plentiful and the food? Awesomeness. In a swanky shopping district, I easily assumed Dantanna's was a upscale, "couples only" (my way of saying avg. dish price greater than $25), stuffy, small portion spot. I was fortunately wrong. The restaurant needs to emphasize the "sports bar aspect" because it really is one at its roots. Large projectors, active bar and delicious food with grand portions (almost close to the majesty of Marietta Diner [check them out too!]). It is a classy space, but a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. My only points of gripe are the lack of various menu items (asparagus, broccoli, baked potatoes, cowboy ribeye and skirt steak) and an attached cigar shop which perfumed the dining area with a light rancid smoke scent, of which I am not a fan. However, Atlanta just came out of another mini-ice apocalypse for deliveries and Valentine's day was this past Friday (I went here on Sunday), so the lack of items was understandable to me. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 7 with predominately steak/bigger items. Also, they have a killer rewards program; you can get $25 off your order during your birthday month and points that accumulate to chef-catered dinners, freebies, etc. I love that sort of thing. Not a 5-star for the lack of items and smoke, but a great experience overall. Will definitely be back for the specials and food.

The good thing about Dantanna's is that 1) it's open late; 2) it has plenty of TVs; and 3) it's open late. When you're in town for a conference and other bars chase you out, Dantanna's will continue to serve you well into the night. The layout is interesting - it has a bar...then a ring of bar stools and bar seating behind it. Reminds me of an old drive in movie theater...for sports viewers who drink. I love it. Bar tenders were friend - the only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because when I ordered a crab dip and asked for the large size, I got some tortilla chips and the size of a cup of soup, not a crock like you'll get in other places. Yet I was charged for crock prices. No bueno. The drunk fatty in me needs food, not snacks when inebriated.

This place is a consistent dinner spot for me. The bar and atmosphere of a big-box chain betrays what is really a well thought out and solid menu. It's the perfect place to bro out as a young professional. There are sports screens galore and it's a reliable place to get something tasty and healthful for the right place in the right location at the right time. I think you can't really go wrong, if you have the expectation you're just looking for a solid experience. You don't need to be overwhelmed every time, and sometimes you just want a big hunk of meat with two sides, you know? This being said, I think there are some things you can get and avoid: Get: broiled crab claws. supplement that with a lighter entree (i.e. fish special or salmon). what you could do is also the beef short ribs, easily one of the best choices on the menu. All of the specials are good deals and worth getting--be confident knowing that they're really not trying to rip you off with the bottom-of-the-bucket leftovers. I really believe they try. Don't get: salads are weak here. you can do better at a salad bar if you really know what you're doing. If you need your veggies, there's really nothing nothing wrong with them. Note that the reuben is great, and the seafood cioppino is loaded with hake, squid, and maybe some clams/mussels. I would not really recommend the cioppino as it seems to be stewed with some of the leftover cuts of fish, but then again, that's really what the intent of a true cioppino is. Nothing wrong with it flavor wise, and it is really a good deal. I've eaten here maybe 2 or 3 times a month over the last 2 years.

I appreciate the hours of operation and have certainly been in there late night. This time, I dined on a Sunday, when the Bloody Mary bar is open and you, the customer is allowed to approach and "build your own BM". I did not drink on this day, rather chose some She Crab soup. It is so creamy and wonderful, it's good for a stomach that's not so great or on a cold day. I started with an appetizer, the Fried Oysters. They were okay, too much hollandaise on them and too much breading on the oysters, but delightful still. Chose the cheeseburger, solid! I really appreciated my server who kept my sweet tea full, and when I wanted "just a bite" of a dessert, she rounded up chocolate pieces from the kitchen.

Love this place! Went back there last week with the boss for lunch. He had the burger which from the crumbs he left on his plate was pretty good! And i had the lump crab berry salad. The service was impeccable, always coming back at the right time, leaving us to talk long enough, etc. When she first brought out the plates, I was so happy with my salad, but once I started eating I realized that the lettuce proportion overwhelmed the berries and what little crab there was. I mean, if I'm paying more than $10 for a salad, please give me more than just fluffed up lettuce ok? I'll definitely go back cause the food is just that damn good. Just won't order the salad anymore!

After about a year of working across the street from Dantanna's I decided to finally give them a try last week. From first glance after walking in it appears that Dantanna's is an overpriced sports bar, but that is what one would expect next door to Lenox Mall. The prices here are reasonable for the area, and the service and food were great making it worth the money spent. For lunch I asked the server for her recommendations and she suggested the Rubin sandwich, so I went with that. The Rubin was delicious with it tender corn beef on marbled rye with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. The fries that came with the Rubin were just OK; would have been better if they used fresh cut fries that I was expecting from a place like this. Overall, Dantanna's provides a great meal. The food is good and the service is great. I'll be heading back over for lunch soon!

Over the years, I've passed this restaurant many times. My husband and I finally decided to give this place a try and we keep coming back for obvious reasons. We've ordered the She Crab Soup every time we come here, I think the soup is good, but my husband raves about it! I've had the Wasabi Tuna (rare) with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic spinach - very good dish. I would have really wanted more shiitake-soy glaze on my tuna, but I can live with the way they made it. One of our friends had the Braised Lamb Shank, and he said it was very good. I didn't try it because I don't like lamb. The steaks are also good here, but I've only had it with Dantanna's house dry rub, so I can't really tell you how the sauces are. Overall, our experiences are always good, and I never had a bad experience here, and the service it great, so I will be back.

Only reason I have it a 2 was the fact they their food wasn't horrid. Another reason I have them a 2 is because they gave me a beer glass with lip prints on it. I will post photo. Don't order the mussels and baked Brie together because you might think your eating the same thing. The fish and chips and burgers are just average or sub par. They do have a nice large selection of beer in bottles not on tap sadly.

Came here with some friends for drinks after work. Was greeted by a sweetheart named Bre. It was my first time coming here and she made some great suggestions for food and dessert! We ordered some drinks(whiskey,scotch) and a few appetizers. Lobster Lollipops- They were excellent Duck Braised nachos- Need I say more. These were great with loads of duck on them! Short rib stuff peppers.- always a great choice. Main course 18oz ribeye cooked perfectly Pork chop- Was huge and tasted great Venison Burger- The goat cheese was an excellent addition to this burger Dessert...Of course we got the Krispy Kream Pudding. It was pretty large which was great as the three of us shared it. The huge scoop of ice cream on top was a plus. Overall. Bre our server made it a great night. Food was excellent, but prepare to spend some money.

Giant projection screen, the bartender just assuming you want a beer refill, because you do and pouring it and a seat front and center at the bar, priceless. Dantanna's as a pure sports bar gets 5 stars, the main television is a gigantic projection screen hanging over a large bar area, 10ft screen maybe. The large screen is surrounded by multiple small screens playing every game at the moment, ADHD folks will delight in the set up. The reuben sandwich was excellent plenty of 1000 island, loaded with corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut, just a great ratio. The bartender, Steve, gets his own shout out for great service!! Good work Steve, keep the life saving stories coming.

Pretty good food. Prices seem about right for what we ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. Wait staff seemed like they didn't want us to know the specials, he had to be a speed talker because I caught about half of what he said. I would go back but nicely ask to have them talk a bit more slowly. We are in the south you know.

I can say I enjoy this place. It's nice, not too pricey, the staff is always friendly, helpful and always readily available for any quetsions or concerns. The margaritas are delicious. Their handmade mixer is by far the best I've had in a while at a restaurant! Whether we went on a good day or the bartenders are just on it, the margarita makes the trip from the 'burbs into the city well worth it! I love a rare steak and some places are leery about serving them and want to suggest a medium well steak...Uhh, I understand the health concerns, but I like a rare steak! I can get a steak the way I like it at Dantanna's. I do not smoke cigars but Honey does so we've taken a "look-see" and he has vowed to return to enjoy a cigar and cognac. I will return again, and again!

I like dantanna's, it's a good place to get dinner or drinks, nothing special. My dad would kill me if he knew I wasn't giving it 5 stars since he's basically a regular, but it's not all that spectacular in my opinion. The bar area is huge and has tons of tv's so it would definitely be a great place to watch football games with friends. It does get somewhat crowded however. The dining room area is also really good, and I like the menu. I had the seafood special of the night, I believe it was grouper, and it was really good! Our service was good too, no complaints! Bonus, huge parking lot!

Pricey for the quality of the food. Angus Burger still had some of the hoof in the meat, I spent more time extracting pieces of bone and grizzle out than enjoying the flavor. Fries were old. Beer selection was good but no draft specials. I would recommend going to another place if you have the choice.

The food here was great! Still has that sports bar vibe but won't give you heartburn like those cheaper places.
Another example of how outstanding service can turn a good dining experience into a great one. I used to be a server. In spite of or perhaps because of that fact, I tend to be skeptical of servers that remind me of myself as a server - early twenties, skinny arms, that sort of thing. So I had low expectations for our young, relatively skinny-armed waitress, and she blew me away. As did the helpful attitude I sensed from all the staff at Dantanna's. First, our table for eight was waiting for us when we got there, complete with high chair. The first group of people was permitted to sit at the table before the remainder of the party arrived. I am always extremely pleased with a restaurant when I don't have to wait for stragglers. Second, the server handled the baby situation well. Without being asked, she brought the almost-two-year-old one of those disposable placemats and crayons. The baby's mom asked the server to bring her food out as soon as it was ready, and the server did so, and quite quickly too. Third, when I asked whether the fish tacos could be made without shrimp, she said she thought so but that she would ask. She immediately ran off to ask, and then returned with an affirmative answer. Score! When I asked for a box later, she offered to do it for me, and did so quickly. Fourth, she split the checks without our asking (to my knowledge no one asked), didn't make any mistakes, and was very efficient when running our credit cards. As is probably already evident, I had the fish tacos with no shrimp. They were served with two sides even though the menu suggests you only get one. I picked asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious except for, ironically, the fish. It was too... fishy. It tasted like cheap tuna, but I can't be sure. The desserts looked AMAZING, I'm going to have to go back to try them sometime.

Sports Bar = NO (by Chicago Standards), but fun place for beers, great apps and entrees = YES. We were there on a Wednesday night during the NBA Championship....arrived around 7 (game started at 8) and the restaurant was fairly empty and the bar was 1/2 full (it had been pouring rain)....got a table in the bar and the place slowly filled up. Jephreda provided excellent service through-out the night (even when really crowded) and the food was fabulous! We had the wings as an app (GREAT) and I had the filet (GREAT, GREAT, GREAT). Everyone in Atlanta says this is a sports bar = NO. ONE Big Screen, with 3 smaller screens on each side.....PLEASE come to Chicago to see a sports bar. I will give ATL props for the bar being pretty crowded for the NBA finals......but that is it.....kind of reminds me of Portland and the guys playing a board game during the Trail Blazers playoff game.... Wings HOT (2 @ 9) 18.00 420 Draft (5 @ 4.50) 22.50 Zinf Short Ribs 19.00 (Tom loved these) 420 Draft (4 @4.50) 18.00 Fish and Chips 14.00 (Tony said these were ok) Paulander (4 @ 7.25) 29.00 (excellent beer) 8 oz Filet 28.00 Total - $161.56

Ok, people always laugh at me for this- I always make this my first date place. When a guy asks for suggestions, I mention Dantanna's. Why? If the date goes horribly wrong, at least I can watch some sports in the meantime. My boyfriend and I had our first date here almost a year ago and have been back several times to reminisce. Consistently good food, a great location and an awesome first date place!

This past Sunday was my first visit to Dantanna's. It was an upscale, cool-looking sports bar with several big screen t.v.'s and a big patio. I ordered the crab and artichoke dip which was actually pretty good! Very rich and gooey...for the main course, i chose the "BCS" burger. No one can mess up a burger, right? Wrong. I was STARVING and I could barely eat 1/2 of it! I ordered it medium, but the middle was more medium rare. My entire bottom bun was soaked in meat juice! Bleh...worst than that, the meat tasted funny. I immediately remembered the "pink slime" phenomenon and promptly pushed my plate back. I probably wouldn't visit Dantanna's again and if I did, I'd stay AWAY from the beef!

This place combines sports bar with a formal surf n' turf. It's pretty unique and convenient. I would say there's slightly more business people on the road in suits here than hipsters, but in any case not your typical sports bar with tons of college kids or locals. It's good for if you want to watch sports and eat more upscale, varied dishes at the same time. Even the late menu retains a lot of the surf n' turf stuff, not just nachos and chicken strips like a lot of places. The food is okay. I hated the philly cheese steak with a passion, but it's a sentiment that I seem to have about a lot of places. The surf n turf dishes are better. Bisque is a little bland. Prices for food is actually quite reasonable consider its location and clientele. Not so reasonable was markup on beers. They carry many good bottled beers, but have a markup that's about 1.5~1.8 times as much as, say, Brick Store a.k.a. beer heaven. Of course, with a cigar lounge on the premise, you might not be drinking beer and opt for the hard stuff instead. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to smoke in a small area and the cigars are marked up badly also. Service is very good. Very comfortable environment and lots of TVs even on the patio. Proximity to prominent Buckhead places. All make up for the problems. Can't say I'm a frequent customer, that's for sure.

Guess what? It was late night on a Tuesday....found myself drinking again with friends...yeah, a Tuesday night. A good buddy and I needed a place with some atmosphere and good food. The Waffle House nearby beckoned.....I shunned it and slipped back to Dantanna's. Was my last trip there a fluke? No, it wasn't. I had another burger...it was delicious. My buddy looked at it and said, "Well, it looks like you ordered the right thing." Oh, yeah, he was right....I was happy. Good little crowd at the bar at 11:30 on a Tuesday. Nice eye candy for both sexes. Surprising note!! You can smoke in the bar late night. Nice for the smoking crowd. If you go, request Frieda....best waitress in the place. !!!

It's a nice place. As others note, often I'm alone and sit at the bar for quick service and having other people around. the bartenders here are helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't starved so I went with one of the nightly specials...Jumbo blackened scallops...I thought great....well, you need to know what Jumbo means, not the same as I've always thought....however, the flavor was great, just a little kick and tasty. But I wanted a little more so I got an order of wings....I got the habanero and mango spicy wings. The sauce was good. Make sure you get a glass of water before you start....after 3 wings it starts to hit. But I didn't ask, the wings are naked (not battered nor breaded) and they say they are deep fried, but they were more like broiled-that's not bad if you expect it. I suggest not ordering the fries...kind of soggy. Based on the scallops, I'd go back and try some of the other signature dishes.

I've been to Dantanna's several times for the bar, which has a great selection. Last night I went there for dinner for the first time and I was really let down by the food. We started with the wings which were fantastically mediocre. They bordered on dry and the sauce was bland other than just being spicy. I (for whatever reason) thought it'd be a good idea to order the Ciopinno. This was a huge mistake. First off I found 1 dead mussel and the mussels that weren't dead were certainly old as they tasted incredibly fishy. The red sauce of the Ciopinno tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed with dish water and the fish, salmon mainly, (nearly half the dish itself) was obviously old as it had gone grey. Our waitress was very nice and allowed me to order something else. I expected the manager to come to my table, but after 30 minutes I had to ask my waitress to go and get the manager. When the manager finally came, she was rude and suggested that after trying the dish herself, she could see nothing wrong with it, suggesting I was to blame for the problem. My father had a steak which was under seasoned but otherwise fine. I will say that their beer selection was quite good. Otherwise, this was a terrible experience and I won't be going back for dinner ever again. Trust me it's only good for the bar.

Visited Dantanna's last night. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Ordered calamari as the appetizer. It was a bit over fried, so a tad on the greasy side. I was disappointed in the sauces that accompanied the calamari of a cocktail sauce and spicy honey mustard or something...let's step it up a bit and offer some champagne aioli, k?! Anyways, the tables are kind of small so we didn't have much room for our 2 drinks, 2 glasses of water, these huge menus, the drink menu, the specials menu, the salt and pepper shakers and the appetizers...yea, that's a lot on a table! I order the Flank Steak Med-well...I should have ordered it Medium. I asked the waiter how they generally cook their steaks, as you know some restaurants cook more on the rare side so you'll up your temperature or more on the well side so you downgrade your temp. Either way, when I asked the waiter he didn't know what the heck I was talking about and said, oh we cook it how you order it. Ok whatever dude. The grilled asparagus was good, couldn't mess that up and the mashed sweet potatoes saved their rating from 2 stars....they were great! My date had the peppered salmon but he was talking about himself so much that he left about half of the fillet on his plate, so not sure if it was good or not.

Around the corner from my hotel (the W.) Stopped in two subsequent nights. On solo travel, I sat at the bar. The place is dimly lit, and has several mounted TV's with different games. The bartenders are professional and formal. They remember your name and give a firm handshake. Prompt service. The first night I had Wasabi Tuna, rare, with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The food came out lukewarm and I wasn't impressed with the seafood preparation. This IS Atlanta, not really a coastal seafood town. I heard good things about the wings, so I stopped in for a quick bite the next night. I opted for an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger instead, with a baked potato. This time, they redeemed themselves. The burger was delicious, and seasoned pretty well. I wouldn't say this is a good date spot, but definitely a good solo spot or place to watch a game and grab some bar food.

They have a menu more geared towards people who eat red meat and other weird things I only eat chix, fish, turkey so it was limited options for me. The place is nice and always crowded huge tv's for games. I wouldn't go back unless I was just in the area.

Really bad service, it took 10 min just to get a menu and this was a week night. I was seated in bar area so may be different at a table. I called for a manager who changed my server and then they rushed my food out. The sandwich was so-so and the manager didn't comp me anything at all. Not sure I would ever come back but if I did I would sit at the bar, not a table, then I would order a different item. Watch out, some of the items on the drink menu have incorrect prices (my whiskey was $12 not $10 like the menu said). although 2nd server was a lot better, I felt like they were rushing me out the door.

After my last disappointing review of Dantanna's, I promised the proprietor that I would visit his establishment again for another try. So after work I walked over and had a very nice steak. It was cooked to perfection, medium/rare and was the best steak I have had in a while. I sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. I would recommend this place highly.

Alain L.
This place is nothing, if not consistent. The concept of a higher end sports bar serving a varied menu really works here. The service is good and never "in your face" to rush you, at least that's been my experience. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are staples of, well, consistency. Their dinner specials rival any of the mid-range chains such as Fleming's. I'm surprised they haven't opened other locations.

The food is worth the bill. Everything was delicious and in good portions. The wait staff was extra friendly to our two year old and kept he occupied with crayons, food, and ice-cream. I will definitely bring my out of town guest here. Plus, they turned the game to my hubby's fav team game... Did I mention how good the food is?

Ok, two of my lady friends and I went for a pamper day, at the spa in Buckhead and wanted to go for lunch to someplace we had never tried before so in checking the area using YELP, I found Dantanna's and they had 4 stars. Although getting there on a Saturday being across the street from Lenox mall was a nightmare, literally sitting 15minutes at one light, we finally made it there. It is an upscale type sportsbar with TV's and a separate dining area if you're not into watching a game during your meal. Our server was Andrew who was very polite and seated us and was more than helpful with my fidgity friend who couldn't decide what she wanted :O. We ordered the appetizer crab dip and it was the best crab dip i've had anywhere! The Fried shrimp I ordered was acceptable (I was starving) but I didnt like the tempura style batter on them that just fell off as soon as you cut the shrimp but the taste was good and my garlic mashed potatoes were AWESOME and flavorful. My friends didnt complain about their food and said it was good. Service was pretty fast also but my order came out wrong however the waiter quickly took care of the situation and made it a non-issue! So this place gets 4 stars for good food and service! I will be back, thanks Andrew! We walked in past cigar smoke which was kind of choking but it was outside and i think this is a cigar bar outdoors so won't dock them for that.

Horrible service...the food was fabulous. Waited over 25 minutes for just our drinks. Service was slow the whole time. Finally ended up getting our bills and they all wrong. They double charged us several times. Also the gave us one bill that said one amount and was charged another amount. No matter how good the food was I would not come back due to the service.

When I first walked in here I was expecting a menu with very high steakhouse prices. Imagine my surprise when I saw a nice selection of items that were in the $10-$20 price range. I ordered a burger and fries. Both were excellent. The only drawback was the wait time between placing our order and getting our food; it seemed a little too long. The waiter was kind enough to break up our bill into six individual checks. I would certainly come back here again.

I came here with my family as my youngest wanted to eat some place she could look out the window and see the Great Tree on Macy's. From the outside, we were expecting a nicer place - this is definately a sports bar - but that's our fault. Sunday night was packed with loud football fans. Despite the noise, we enjoyed the place. Wine was 1/2 off (I guess they do that every Sunday). Crab cakes had ample crab meat and the burgers were suprisingly good. Only let down was a Reuben made with fried tilapia. I love turkey Rueben's, but the tilapia just did not work. The crispy batter is soon made soggy from dressing and kraut. Service was very ample and the menu had some very interesting choices (braised duck nachos!). I would come back.

I've been coming here recently because I've been watching the NBA Finals again. My first visit here was a while back and I only came to check out the cigar room in the back. As far as that goes, it's got comfy seats, good variety of cigars and a knowledgeable manager who can recommend something if you're not an aficionado. I like the design of the bar area but be warned, during game night it's always packed. Luckily there is ample seating in the dining area although you might not get the best view of the tv's. Beer-wise, they've got the usual selection so not much to rave about there. As for the food, I'm not terribly impressed except with their mango wings. I can take a lot of heat in my food and especially love hot wings...and their mango wings are so spicy I feel like I got kicked in the nuts. Their regular wings are just so-so. All in all, I like Dantanna's. Stick to the wings and you'll be alright.

The WORST customer service ever. Our waiter was rude, criticized what we ordered and told us we needed to order more veggies with our dinner. Took a long time to get our drink menus when we asked about the wine they offered. Has a floss pick fly on to our table hitting our drinks and he didn't even acknowledge the fact that it happened yet everyone else saw. Horrible. If you do go, sit at the bar and avoid Milford as your server at all cost!

Great place to meet for business lunch or dinner. Surf, Turf, Cigars, and Wine. TV's are all over, so be careful if you take a date. She might catch you looking over her shoulder for the score. Sit up front to watch people in the bar which is reasonably hip and happening. Ask for a table in the back for a little more quiet. Or you can always do a stogie and cocktail on the deck...if you're into that kind of thing. Food is good but a little pricey. Service is usually superb.

I'm never disappointed by this upscale sports bar. We found it on Yelp and I'm sooo glad. It's a little pricey considering it's a sports bar, but the decor is nice, service is even better and the food speaks for itself. We ordered from the Sweethearts menu (the day before Valentine's Day) and decided on the Suft and Turf. We had 2 6oz filet mignons, lobster tail, and two sides each. We started dinner with THE MOST AMAZING She Crab Soup. It looks like your basic clam chowder but was by far the highlight of dinner. I consider myself a clam chowder connoisseur and that was the most best bowl of clam soup I've ever had. And I live in BOSTON!! Overall everything is delicious. If I could change anything it would be the prices but if that's what I have to pay for great food I'll do it.

I walked into Dantanna's last night with high hopes considering all of the great reviews I've read and heard. The Decor is great... It's upscale sports bar meets raw bar, and steakhouse. We were there for a birthday gathering of 10. With the exception of the horrendous service everything was great. Braised Lamb shanks with Blue Cheese Mash, I was in heaven as I cleaned the entire plate to the last drop of demi glace. My issues lie with the server who took at least 15 minutes for us all to get our first round, completely botched the checks at the end, and just never seemed to be around. I understand parties of several can be pressuring, but we all work in the industry and were equal left disatisfied with the service. Everyones checks were wrong, and he had to go and fix it at least 4 times before we could all be on our way. Overall though I could see the great potential in the restaurant. The food, though a bit overpriced, was all fantastic and received great reviews from everyone at the table. The place is a good mix of class and with several large screen TV's for sports fan carefully placed it could easily transform into a sports bar. I enjoyed my experience, but I would hesitate to take a large group again to the dining room. Maybe next time I'll just sit at the bar or just take only a limited amount of people. ~~~~ After dinner we entered the Buckhead Cigar Bar that can be found along the back wall of Dantanna's. Equipped with a large humidor and several people offering suggestions as well as their knowledge the experience was one to remember. Leather coaches line a narrow room with TV's surrounding each wall. A server comes to take your drink order, and you can stay as long as you want and smoke. The room is actually pretty well circulated as far as air goes, so you're not walking into hazy room of smoke. My friends ordered scotch only to find out that the restaurant/bar was out of most of what the menu had to offer. No Mac 12, or 18 as well as no Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. The birthday girl spoke earlier in the day about how all she wanted was a good scotch and a cigar. It's a friday night at a nice restaurant/bar in the middle of buckhead and you can't provide some of the most commonly requested scotch? Fortunately for me... they had my Guinness so I just smoked and tuned myself out to everything going on around me. I loved the atmosphere provided and would welcome a return visit to the cigar bar.

Dantanna's provides the upscale sports bar atmosphere of a FOX Sports Grill or ESPN Zone without hitting you over the head with the big corporate souvenirs and name brands of the other two. The prices are similar and the viewing atmosphere is comparable, but the food at Dantanna's is typically better than the other upscale sports bars. Dantanna's has one of the biggest TV's I've ever seen in the bar. The picture quality is phenomenal, and it's a good atmosphere to get a group of friends together to watch a game. The staff is good, service is much better here than FOX or ESPN Zone as well. The final touch that puts it over the top versus its competitors is the big patio that overlooks Lenox Mall. True, the view is kind of blah, but outdoor seating with plasma screens so you can still watch sports is a winner with me every time.

I go here frequently because of the location and the good food. Good place to take a date if you want to watch sports on your date. Higher end sports bar that feels like a sports bar and an above average restaurant at the same time. The patio seating with the individual screens are a plus and reminds you that you're not at Hooters. I usually order the steak, which is always good along with the gumbo. The waitstaff is kind of slow, but forgiveable. I sometimes just sit at the bar while eating and watching a game. The bartenders are pretty cool too.

Dantanna's is great location-wise, but definitely on the expensive side. I'd never order a full dinner there, but drinks tend to be fine and their happy hour specials are great (try the lobster lollipops!). It's ideal for after-work happy hours, and it seats a lot of folks.

UPDATE I met up with a friend here for a quick drink. It was a midway meeting point. Four stars because the bartender was great. He recommended a wine for me, then let me taste it first. Nice! Also, I didn't get to eat any food but, what I saw looked and smelled great. One thing that I didn't like was that they still allowed smoking inside. We were there for almost an hour smoke free, then a few people lit up and ruined the fresh air atmosphere. Definitely a loss of a star on that one, which leaves Dantanna's with three stars. --- Already a little tipsy off that DiSarrano, I headed here with my girl friends to have some fun. One of my girls was having a "Waiting To Exhale" moment so, she wanted to get out of the house. Dantanna's ended up being our choice because pretty much everything was closed. It's a nice location. The bar area is pretty large and spacious and the bartender was cool. He was attentive and knew how to pour the drinks. The rest of the restaurant I didn't get to check out because my butt was glued to the bar. As the night progressed, people started smoking. Yuck! The ventilation system must have been broken because it stunk. Otherwise, this is a cool spot. Not pretentious, just laid back.

I've been to Dantanna's several times for happy hour and always had a good time. Upscale enough to feel comfortable in work attire, but a good vibe for unwinding and plenty of tvs to catch sports scores. I recently ate lunch here and was impressed. I had the burger, but the star was the fries. Crispy and tasty!

Casey G.
I go to Dantanna's a lot in the fall to watch football, so this review is for the bar. I would say they have better food than most other sports bars (the gumbo is pretty good!). Bartenders are super friendly people. It does tend to get crowded, though, for big games...so plan ahead!

I had one of the most OUTSTANDING dining encounters at this establishment with a girlfriend of my a few weeks ago! For a Saturday afternoon of non-stop shopping in Lenox Mall, it was a PERFECT way to end the day! She dined on the Cowboy Ribeye w/Dantanna Rub, sauteed spinach, followed by the peach cobbler (to DIE FOR), and I had the NY Strip w/Dantanna Rub as well, garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus, followed by the red velvet cheesecake by Joshua Johns, who is infamously featured on The Food Channel (and NOW I see WHY!). With the food being of organic fare, the additional sauces actually detracted from the natural marinade of the tenderized meat, which was cooked to ABSOLUTE perfection! The menu in itself was SO very impressive, but our waitress, Allison, and her knowledge of the wine list and overall customer service deserves an EXTRA KUDOS! A DEFINITE reason to visit this restaurant on ANY occasion, and WELL worth the money! Conveniently located to the majority of ALL of the shopping malls and districts of the coveted downtown Atlanta experience, with MORE than enough parking if you time your visit right! I would DEFINITELY include this restaurant as one of the MUST-VISIT spots to hit when in-town for a weekend or entertaining and impressing out-of-town guests for lunch or dinner!

I've never eaten here but have come here often to have a few beers and watch the game. I really like the atmosphere here- a nice upscale sports bar but doesn't seem stuffy or trendy. The huge main wall TV is awesome too. They also have one of these cool looking simulated screens that seems to be suspended in the air. It also seems to be a big Boston Red Sox bar, which is always a bonus.

Terry B.
Expect great service, wonderful cajun chicken egg rolls and Krispy Kreme bread pudding that will dissolve in your mouth. The wine and beer selection was impressive and reasonably priced. The disappointment came when the roasted lamb sandwich arrived. It was chewy and may have been marinaded in rotten fish.

So, this was my first virginal experience to Dantanna's, and I have to say, I didn't like it. Accompanied by a co-worker, we decided to go somewhere we never been, and well, not to give our hard earned money to a chain restaurant. First of all, the don't order a burger if you're hungry. Thinking I was going to get a mouth watering, burger I could sink my teeth in, I only was served half portion. Come on, seriously, who eats just half a burger?! Were they trying to tell me to watch my cholesterol or something? Secondly, DO NOT get the Asian Chicken Salad! It is full of the thick, yellow iceberg lettuce, unflavored chicken, and a very pungent teriyaki sauce. Let's just say, I'm glad I didn't pay for lunch. My meal wasn't worth it.

I dined here with a group of people on a Monday afternoon prior to the Saints vs Falcons Monday night game. Everyone liked their entrees. I really enjoyed my crab salad. We sat at the bar and the bartender wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't the worst... I would def go back and think it would be a great place to watch sporting events!

I am definitely a fan of Dantanna's, it a upscale sports bar right next door to Lenox mall. It's a great Happy Hour spot, it is always busy with a good mixed crowd. It's an excellent spot to catch sporting event's especially when it is Football/Basketball season, it is great for college and pro sports the place is always packed on the weekends with fans. The Food is pretty good their seafood is good too, they have a fresh seafood bar with everything you can imagine. I enjoy their burgers a lot, well you can't really go wrong with it plus when i am drinking i rather eat something that will absorb the alcohol rather than eat something that will not absorb much and then you will see me failing on my butt and making a fool of myself. Another thing that is pretty cool about this place is that they have a 300 foot walk in Cigar lounge, with decent selection of cigar's. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bar with good food and a sophisticated crowd.

The name after "Dantannas" perfectly spells it out for you... SPORTS BAR, STEAK AND SEAFOOD. They have a sports bar on one side with huge tv's and the "normal" dining area on the other side. The dining area also have tv's so you don't miss out on whatever is on. The food is good for the price and setting. It's a sports bar, you can't expect much. Lots of fried foods, salads, and steak. Service was great. There wasn't too much to choose from the seafood section though.

I'm gonna give this place a no. The vibe is cool great little spot to stop and have a drink or whatever as a first date ice-breaker. The food, well it wasn't great at all. In fact I thought it was a little bit bad. I had the rosemary chicken with sweet mashed potatoes and asparagus. All bland, all average. For the price it just wasn't worth it. And to top it off not one hottie in the bar just a bunch of old horny, married white men, looking for a piece of chocolate. I'll pass next time.

Talib K.
I don't go here much, but when I do, the bartender always remembers me and talks to me like I was just there a few days ago. There's nothing particularly special about this place, but the service I've received has always been top notch. That always worth many return visits. I guess I'm showing my age. The older you get, the less important price and ambiance become, and the more important service becomes. The food is okay, the ambiance is okay, and the smoke can be heavy late night, but the service (at the bar) is great.

Sara S.
they are expensive. i went there for wine and dinner and to catch a good game a few weeks ago and was charged an extra $2/glass for my wine. i didnt notice it until after i had left- but it definately left me with a bad taste in my mouth. i feel as if there is a bit of an identity crisis going on here between the seafood (which is good, don't get me wrong), bar- cigar area- tvs only in the bar area- outdoor seating- and the claim to be an "upscale" sports bar. but its good. they have good food, good service, and you pay extra for both. their wine list is not impressive, and very overpriced. expect to pay no less than $50/person when you go here.

I have always loved Dantanna's. Its always been that type of place that you can go to on a date and have a nice time in the dining room, you can go after a date just to have some drinks and it is also that place that you can watch the game or have a nice happy hour. Dantanna's is all of this. They have wonderful bartenders and chefs. I have to go again but the last time that I went to Dantanna's was a little off, maybe because it was during the week, but I was not impressed. The only thing that was good our trip was the server and the drinks. The regular menu was closed so the only thing that was available was the bar/late night menu and that was only full of bar food. I got the chicken Cesar wrap and my friend got the chicken finger app. My wrap was hard and dry. It came with Romaine Lettuce but this wrap only had the core inside the wrap and that disgusting and completely ruined the expected texture of the sandwich. I could have returned it to the kitchen, but I had already torn it apart to figure out what was so hard inside. The chicken nugget app was decent and the drinks were good. It was a Wednesday night and the only thing that was on was College Basketball. I enjoy Dantanna's it's a dependable place in the Buckhead area that you can always depend on for fun whether on a date or with the girls. It's dependable if you are heading out or winding up the night. I will definitely be back.

The sports bar theme here is so understated, I barely noticed it until reading Rebecca O. and J.D.'s reviews. We went to Dantanna's during lunch, and walking into the interior immediately brings a soothing quality - thanks to the dark woods and probably helped by the freezing temperature. The large space has seating options that run the gamut from restaurant to bar area (great spots for viewing the giant sports-playing televisions) and covered patio (where we chose to sit, despite the monsoonlike thunderstorm). Well respected for their seafood and steaks, the dinner menu prices would reserve this for me as a 'special occasion' place. Lunch, however, has some strong choices in the $10 - $15 range; I got the 'freuben' - fried tilapia, cabbage slaw, Swiss cheese & Russian dressing. It was fantastic. Greasy, but fantastic. Though the menu says sandwiches come with fries or potato salad, the waiter said any side item can be substituted. Garlic mashed potatoes. Good. Not a shocker since they bill themselves as a 'Surf 'n Turf' restaurant, but vegetarians will find the menu here a challenge. If carnivorous friends drag you here, try the portabella quesadilla or spinach salad. Or just drink lots of beer. I didn't visit, but apparently there's also the Buckhead Cigar Lounge at Dantanna's, complete with smoking lounge and leather sofas. This versatile restaurant is comfortable and works if you need a spot for a wheelin' dealin' business dinner in Buckhead, a place to watch the game or celebrate with a giant amount of steak and seafood. Or even just somewhere to lunch and dish about your coworkers.

I love restaurants that are consistent and Dantanna's is consistently good. Great fish dishes and always good sides. Reasonable prices. Service is usually good but slipping a little lately. Last couple of times we were in - the waiters seemed absent. But the food makes up for it and the hostess is usually very welcoming. If you are near Lenox Mall hop over (just behind the Westin Hotel). Really great place for a very nice lunch without breaking the bank.

Russ G.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't like going into a bar to be ignored by the entire wait staff for nearly a half hour, finally ordering a drink, getting it fifteen minutes later, realizing it's as watered down as a rainstorm, then finding said drink cost more than a good steak at some places. This place is the most overrated bar I've ever been to, and if wasn't for the invite from a good friend I wouldn't have bothered going. Having gone, I'll say I won't ever go again. If the horrible service, outrageous prices, and cheap use of liquor doesn't turn you off, consider that the place is a swimming pool full of yuppie douchebags with too much money and not enough sense. It's like a really bad J Crew catalog.

The girls and I hit Dantanna's for our March dinner club. Dantanna's is an "up scale" sports bar. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and helpful. There we so many dishes that looked good that it was really hard to choose. I ended up ordering the lobster/scallop risotto. It was creamy and the seafood was perfectly cooked. (even heated up the next day) I also tried a bite of the battered shrimp. The batter was light and fluffy and the shrimp was juicy. I liked having the option of continuing the evening on the bar side without having to leave or sit at our table. Heading to the bar for "one more" is always a plus. I also love the outside patio and would not mind heading back for a game and drink when it gets warmer.

Scott M.
I have heard about this spot forever, and finally was able to make a trip over. Sports is big here, and they have a healthy crowd during most football games. The service was decent, but the food was blah, I think i had the calamari and some type of little steak appetizer....good, but not great. I cant say its one of the most comfortable spots to watch the game either. Maybe its better during the summer when you can sit outside...I'd give it another shot..
(3)
Kevin P.
This may be a good place to have a beer and watch a game but if you are expecting a nice dinner I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I had a fatty flat-iron steak and the waiter didn't seem to care too much. He offered to get me something else but by that time it had been too long of a wait. The prices are high and they seem to want to differentiate themselves from the average sports bar but my experience was that you are just paying more and not getting good food. Too bad - - we had driven by many times thinking it would be a cool place.

A coworker gave me a gift card to Danatanna's that was about to expire. I hate losing out on anything so "sweets" and I decided to give it a shot, after all its free. The calamari was incredible and the grit cake was a nice touch with the hurricane shrimp. Nice bar-- I will be back.

Wow, great food! I especially enjoyed the deep fried, blue-cheese stuffed artichoke hearts. Damn, those are good. I'm deducting one star for the sports bar atmosphere. Too many TVs turned up too damn loud. Otherwise, it's a good place and we enjoyed everything.

Javier O.
The class and sophistication of Morton's meets ESPN zone. This was highly recommended by a bar tender at the Ritz-Carlton. The self proclaimed premier surf and turf sports bar in Atlanta definitely served up a better than expected meal while I caught up on some needed Thursday night Football on their crystal clear HD Plasma TV's. I am surprised this combination never crossed my mind. Everything from mahogany walls to the bar set up and patio made this a truly remarkable eating experience. The lamb chop with sweet mashed potatoes was phenomenal! Luckily San Francisco does not have something similar to offer, otherwise, I could see myself living and working to sustain my lifestyle with Dantanna's

Rebecca O.
If you're an avid reader of my reviews (which I highly suggest if you're not) you're aware of my impending boredom when forced to watch sports. However, if I must be surrounded by sports fans and watching a game, I want to be at Dantanna's. The food is far more upscale than at most other sports bars, and the TV screens are big, which means you can see them while sitting happily at a table -- you don't have to cram your body into a crowd at the bar, although plenty of people do that anyway. Food choices range from surf and turf to a Reuben sandwich, salads and onion rings. Friendly to all tastes.

My parents came into town for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday we decided to try Dantanna's. We were extremely impressed.

Reservations? Yes. Restaurant open at time of reservation? NO!!! We made reservations for Mother's Day brunch, which were confirmed by the restaurant via a phone call the Friday before. Between Friday and Sunday, the restaurant decided to open later than our reservation time, yet they neglected to alert us. We showed up an hour before opening, and rather than serve us, the manager offered us coffee while we waited for the restaurant to open. Ridiculous! Especially when one of our party has diabetes and needed to eat at the time of our reservation. The manager did not even offer us anything free (other than the coffee), and gave us coupons only when asked. I will not be going back! Clearly this place is very poorly managed. I would hate to see what the food is like.

My coworker and I usually come here for lunch because the food is excellent here and it's close to our work. Though the service is pretty slow and not exceptional, but since the food is decent enough to bring us back. Unfortunately, today will be the end of my returns to Dantanna's in Buckhead.... First, our waitress, Jennifer, not only had a poker face on as soon as we got there, she took 3 out of our 6 orders wrong. When we informed her that the orders that came were wrong, she insist that we ordered it incorrectly WITH AN ATTITUDE. BTW, I ordered a full size burger with a cup of soup, and she thought it was a 1/2 sandwich and soup combo... 1/2 burger came out. The 1/2 burger looked so pitiful. i should have taken a picture of it so i have proof. My other co-worker's "crabcake slider" came out with the bread as hard as crouton. We joked that we can use them as Frisbees. On top of the hard as rock bread, my coworker also ordered a full sandwich and a cup of soup but only 1/2 of the order came out. I decided to send my overly cooked (probably under the heating lamp for too long) pitiful burger back and she came back and told me that i should order a medium rare. Fine... if that's how the chef believes... i am not going to argue. But I can guarantee you that the first 1/2 burger was overcooked. My other coworker ordered a beer battered fried shrimp with a side salad. A full size salad came out when everyone's entree came out, but the waitress completely forgot my coworker entree order. GAH.... and when we looked at the bill, she charged 1 full size salad, 1 order of fried shrimp, and 1 crabcake ($18) instead of 1 crabcake slider ($15) . Why should we pay for her mistake. When I brought this to her attention, she gave us the attitude of "what now". I decided not to bring is to her manager at the restaurant thinking it would have been better if I don't ruin other patron's lunch. When i call and asked for the manager, a person named, Jake or Jay answered the phone basically asking me what do I want from him. He told me that NO ONE orders a whole sandwish/burger with a cup of soup. That it is not the on the menu. Really, so what did I ordered that's not on the menu? Enlight me! When I told him that it seemed no one in this restaurant seem to own it up to their mistake (including him), he told me he is the owner Dantanna's and he cooked my burger. REALLY, you really should train your staff better and seriously not to give attitudes when mistakes have been pointed out to you. We did not ask to get compensated, we just don't want to spend $200 and get super pissed at lunch. The moral of this lunch is no matter how good the food is, bad service (and customer service) can ruin everything. Sorry Dantanna's, we will never be back.

Great meal with a better waitress (thank you Megan!). Gumbo is always a good app but glad we tried the Key West style buffalo wings! Fish tacos are served enchilada style which was disappointing despite being tasty. Going to get the bread pudding next time.

I do not have that much to say about Dantanna's. It is yet another mediocre attempt at an Atlanta seafood restaurant. If you have deep pockets (or don't care about the cost/quality ratio), then you will find this to be an acceptable spot. Nothing here is horrible, but nothing here is a shinning culinary masterpiece either. I would say it is best for watching a game or for meeting with the peeps after work. That said - I've usually found the place to be heavy on the sausage (if you catch my drift). The food is consistent and the service never seems to drop below passable or go above decent. Speaking specifically to the food - the menu is a bit disjointed and prices are on the high side. They are technically a "Surf & Turf" spot - so that might contribute to their inability to deliver a streamlined concept. The best thing is the raw seafood platter (if memory serves me right - it runs around $20/person) and none of their other appetizers are particularly noteworthy. Dantanna's fry batter is fairly non-descript and bland. Not surprisingly, the chefs do not appear to be familiar with anything outside of salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and oil. When they try and get fancy, they fail miserably. They stock decent quality product - though for the price you pay, I'd call it highway robbery. Their lump crab and avocado sandwich comes in at $14. I would say it's worth about half of that. Bottom line, there isn't anything here you cannot find a better alternative for somewhere else in the city.

pretty average food for the price. the service was also exceptionally slow considering the place wasn't too busy when we stopped by here. nothing special, but if you got time to kill, it's worth a try to stop by for lunch.

So this place is like an upscale sports bar. Has a huge patio with lots of TV's, drink prices are reasonable, great service, some attractive servers. The bartenders are quick and make great drinks. Food is pricy but there are a few modest priced food items but prepare to spend some cash if you eat a lot like me. Inside look has a lot of wood, think Anchorman Ron Burgundy move- rich mahogany and leather bound books except you want find books there. They have a humidor room to which you can buy a cigar from a pretty big selection of cigars and have a room by the humidor where you can smoke your cigar with other cigar smokes and chill as well if you dont want to smoke it on the patio.

T. Murray -.
his is another venue that has been 3 different things in the past 8 years. When I was in college this was home to Benigan's, a bar and restaurant where a couple of my classmates made extra cash. Then it became Monty's and I was really sad to see this one go. The stone crab claws were to die for and the bartenders and manager were the best. Now it is Dantanna's, which to me is almost a mix of the two former residents. It is a seafood restaurant that wants to have other options as well. I liked my food but I wasn't overly impressed. The one thing I will commend the new owners on is putting in more TV screens to give this place a more upscale sports bar look and feel. As a stand alone restaurant with no inside entertainment, this venue just couldn't seem to find it's niche. Now at a minimum, Dantanna's can contend with the bar crowd at nearby Clubhouse.

I have been coming here for a while and the best food items are the burgers with a side of their own bbq sauce and the quesadillas because of the different red tortillas they use. Its also good to watch games in the bar area but if the crowd is to big, you cant even think about getting a seat. Overall cool place to hang and the only true sports bar in buckhead.

Jennifer G.
I keep going back thinking its going to get better but I've been 3 times now and have been disappointed every time. I'm sure its great for "game days" and bar food but there are too many good restaurants in Buckhead to go here. The SheCrab soup is way too thick with no flavor, the steak salad was completely dried out and the dessert I had (with a muffin I believe?) was literally hard as a rock. Service and atmosphere were both good however the food is what makes a restaurant I believe.

I have pretty much been impressed with Dantanna's each time I have been. I got the mahi special last Friday night and it was excellent! The apps are good especially the beef carpaccio. I highly recommend the lamb shank, one of the best shanks around Atlanta and I know my shanks!

My husband and I have eaten at Dantanna's on several occasions. The food has always tasted fresh and delicous, with one exception the bread. We didn't care for the bread. As for the desserts, they still have the Jack Daniels cake on their menu which isn't served anymore according to one of the waiters. However, the banana dessert is very good.

Came here on a sunday afternoon, place was packed & loaded with NFL fans, especially in the bar area along the right side when you walk in. On this particular day it seemed everyone in here was a pitiful Bears fan(seriously expected Farley and his cohorts from SNL to show up). Ended up getting a table in the back of the bar with a direct view of the giant projector screen along with that of a fairly hot waitress who looked liked one you would find on milfhunter.com .. Definitely would go back just to have her as my server next time. Friendly wait staff brought us over a strong batch of drinks and some decent appetizers. Order the seafood entrees if you go here, the burger my date ordered was mediocre and nothing to brag about. Drinks were strong and in heavy glasses, bloody marys and pints seemed to be the steady stanby for most the finished(read..fat people) patrons of this establishment. Huge wine list and a nice selection of both domestic & Import beers. Very cool place to watch a game, crowd was a mixed bag of 20-40 years olds. No annoying kids or overly crazy football fans either made for a nice place to catch a game. This is definitely a good spot to go watch the game with your Broad. Also seems like a quick and easy place to bring your mom or even granny for a early dinner.

If you do not get the lamb then don't talk to me. Ohh its good. Its really really good. I don't go in for the sports bar part, but you barely notice unless you are looking for it. I like that I don't have to fight so hard to get my husband to go out someplace 'nice' when I mention Dantanna's. I have had at least one bad experience there so I can't give it a 4 or 5. If I only reviewed the lamb it would be a 7. Yes, it really is that good. Stop reading reviews and just go. And if I am wrong then write your own review. Deal?

3 words: Pork chop heaven! If it was not for the bartender Joey, I'd definitely have walked out; he's probably one of the most courteous in the business and truly treats his patrons with respect and timely service. The La Creme Pinot Noir pairs well with the organically raised pork and a definite must have; this meal was close to the one I had in Chicago. I don't usually rave about Pork chops unless when I have a good time. Beware of laptop totting women that are socially challenged and have "bad energy" - observations from my time watching the game. There was many nice people having a good time, mostly yuppies :)

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a sports bar with class and just an all around great place if you wanna stop in to have a few drinks, sit on the patio to watch a game or take your pops out for dinner and finish up with a cigar in the back. I can't say that I've had a bad meal at this place. The blackberry ribs are to die for, lamb shank IS awesome and blue cheese mashed potatoes? Yummm. I personally enjoyed the chicken wings and I'm a chicken wing nut, crispy and hot, just like I like them. And service? For me? Always fantastic. This place gets crowded on the weekends so you might want to call ahead if going during dinner rush.

Dantanna's is a very different animal than your average neighborhood sports bar. Gone are the framed jerseys and random home town bric-a-brac. In their place you will find tasteful decorations, calm lighting (no neons), and top of the line projection televison images. the menu reads more like a fine steak house than a sportsbar. Most of the dishes are executed very well. They have a big variety here, everything from lobsters to aged steaks. Other complex dishes include lamb shanks, crab legs, and some nice salads. you can still order a burger or wings as well. the bar fills up quickly on big game days, but the dining room reamains surprisingly comfortable. I think of Dantannas as more of a neighborhood restaurant than an actual sports bar, because to be quite honest this isn't the best place to watch a game--it is however a great place to eat, drink and meet with friends. Parking is free in the around Lenox Lot, do not however leave your car in that lot to go across the way to Lenox mall as your car will be booted within minutes upon you doing so. Look out for the white "rapist van", he is looking out for you to boot your ride!

This is not only a great sports bar wth plenty of energy, but the food here is great as well. Th service is really nice and quick and the waiter that I had was he nicest guy. Good dessert recommendation and he even sat down with me for a second to talk. Very friendly. The appetizer salad that I had was really tasty, as it had so many different flavors with the sweetness of the fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) and tropical fruit to the other flavors of the mixed greens, tomatoes and crab meat. Very delicious. The entree was a special for the night that was was chamazing with pecan crusted pan seared halicut cheeks with sides of mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus with also a side of sauteed spinach. I love my greens. The dish was a hefty portion, but so good. The combo of sweet potato with the halibut made for a killer taste. For dessert, the waiter said that the bananas or the peanut butter mousse cake were the best so I went with the mousse cake just becaue he said it was addicting. It was goo but not the best dessert I've ever had. Very good though. I'll have to get the bananas next time. There are televisions everywhere with plenty of noise abound. There was about a twenty minute wait but that's fine with me. I walked some college football and baseball while waiting. Those crazy Red Sox. TVs everyweher so no worries there. This is great for a night out with some buddies or for a business pow-wow. Enjoy. It's hard to find, but right behind the Lenox Mall on the first left on Peachtree after the mall. Surprisingly, priced very well for what you get.

I've never written a review on yelp... I felt I had to on the experience my team had at Dantanna's recently. I took a team of 9 for dinner and it was the most crazy experience. The waiter was polite but are drinks orders where incorrect through out dinne, the food was not cooked as requested and there was a dead roach under our table. I brought all this to the attention of the manager and it was taken as oh "sorry, really" I'm sorry. I was shocked. I plan large numbers of dinners in the Alpharetta area, mid town area and downtown. I've never experience what happened at Dantanna's. Sad and I will pass this along to my other meeting planners in the area. Get it together Dantanna's in Buckhead!!!!!

Felicia was my waitress. Cute, spunky... and had that 'it' factor. The place itself is like a man cave (at least the bar area). I watched a world cup game and had a piece of salmon and a salad. The food was good, the drinks were fine. One complaint is that the happy hour menu didn't really interest me. Not a great choice of foods or drinks.

Dantanna's is a pretty solid establishment and a staple for sports bars if you have time to kill between meetings. I always sit in the bar, normally because it brings about two things: shenanigans and good calamari. The tuna is also good if you can get it; I couldn't last Friday for a late lunch. Instead I went for oysters, a pretty average KY Bourbon ale, and a [Moscow] mule that was more ice than anything. The oysters were good by themselves but the vinaigrette should've been left in the back. Keep it simple.. Horseradish, maybe cocktail sauces and Tabasco. Also I had a Thai beef wrap that was actually pretty damn good for something only Thai in name.

Awful service! Mediocre food, decent atmosphere. Do NOT order the crab and artichoke dip! It tasted like soup out of a can before you add milk to make "she crab" soup. Yuck! I believe our "server" is really a busboy who took pity on us because we never received a waiter. He passed us 4 times without asking us if we needed anything. The absolute worst. This place seems to be a restaurant out of convenience because of its late night hours and bar. We will NEVER return to this place when we come to Atlanta.

Today was my first time visitng the place for a conference meeting. I think they need a sign pointing to where the place actually is located, but I found it. The place itself is nice. I think the decor is cool and the patio seemed nice. I feel that the choice that I made was not too great. The fish and chips were basically bland and not a great choice at all. It seemed as though some of the other meals delivered to our tabe had more appeal. So my plate was yuck! I plan to re visit for another update, but no Fish and Chips for me.

I vacilated between a 3 star and 4 star review on this one. I find myself at Dantanna's about once a month for some reason or another, and I've had a variety of experiences. Note: we almost always sit at the bar - so I can only really rate the service there. The Good: Super friendly bartenders who really seems to care if you're enjoying yourself. They're pretty knowledgeable about beer, a little less so about wine. I'd say 3/4 of the food I've had there is solid - the seafood specials are usually a good bet. Bonus that it's usually busy but not so slammed that you can't get a seat, and it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The So-So: The other 1/4 on the food side. Strange shrimp on a stick a few weeks ago, andI find the peppered salmon to be over-seasoned (though I'm a fan of letting a great piece of meat speak for itself). One visit they had a shrimp and oyster appetizer that was generous and awesome, another we got about 8 shrimp that were just okay. In general though, it's a fairly solid option for a low-key dinner for us.

They have a great cigar bar in the back. Dantanna's is a great place to go and watch games, catch up with friends or just have a relaxing evening at the cigar bar. They have great steaks and I absolutely love their tuna. The service is great and really go that extra mile to try and make sure that you are happy. if you order a Moscow Mule make sure you request it to be served in a copper cup, it makes all the difference.

I came here for lunch with my coworkers on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered our food around 12:20pm and got our food at 1:10pm. I understand that it was during lunch peak hours in Buckhead. There were three big parties at the restaurant but two tables ordered their food after us. So it's still not acceptable to take 50 minutes to get our lunch for party of six. Not to mention the service was terrible. Our waitress did not apologize for the long wait, she did not stop by for more water (until we requested), did not ask if we needed anything. When I made my order, I asked for the salad dressing choices. She responded to my request with, "What do you WANT?". The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the food was okay. I ordered the grilled salmon sandwich. It was on the blend side but with the mustard it was decent. However, the salmon was bit dry. Overall, okay food and worst service. I would not come back here.

The crab cake was really good. The only thing is there were little pieces of crab shell in it I crunched on one. The bartender replaced it and the second one was just as good with no shells so that was a one time thing. The bartender was a little sloppy. It was not busy so I was disappointed with that. I stopped at the two crab cakes because I was full but I will be back to try one of their famous burgers later this week

First time visitor, I decided to take my BF who lives out of state and is somewhat of a sports bar devotee and aficionado. We loved it! We sat at the bar; our server Dante was friendly, attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. We were surprised to learn later that he was a trainee, that's how good he was. The food with one exception was delicious. The appetizer, braised duck breast with gnocchi melted in the mouth. My drink, a Moscow Mule was so refreshing so I had 2. My spinach salad was so good. The only disappointment was my boyfriend wanted to introduce me to oysters--they were horrible. And that's not because I'm a novice--my BF who's eaten lots & lots of them over the years, agreed. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely return. Nice touch: the manager Eric came out and introduced himself to us too.

Service is terrible if you are not a local. They are slow to service you. Bartender spends more time talking to the regulars. Having long in-depth conversations. He was looking at his cell phone instead of seeing who needed service. Looks like a Cush job to me. With so many hotels in walking distance you would think they would cater to the business visitors as well. Place was practically empty when I was there. Very disappointed. I visit Buckhead often. Last time at this place. Poor management.

As a frequent traveler to Atlanta; Dantanna's is my go-to place for a great Creekstone burger or steak. Dantanna's is a great place to watch the game and grab a delicious burger. Overall - great service and good food!

So as I hate football, a sunday was perhaps not the best day to go when we were in town, visiting atlanta....however, the build your own bloody bar is FANTASTIC!! Very sports bar-ish, but has outdoor seating, nice servers, and did I mention the amazing bloody mary bar on weekends?!?

Asia J.
The ONLY reason I am giving them any stars is the Ciopinno! It was huge and absolutely delicious. It comes with a huge bowl of pasta so after we ate the huge pieces we mixed the smaller seafood with the pasta to take home. I would come back just for that. HOWEVER if I go to a steakhouse I expect the steak to be amazing. I got the cowboy steak and I asked for it medium and it was medium-well/ some pieces well done. It was chewy and it wasn't seasoned that well huge disappointment.

Went here for dinner last night. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant, the one right next to the cigar room and if it was up to me, I would've requested another one. Our server, a tall African-American guy was super nonchalant. His demeanor was of someone who was very unbothered. We never even got asked if we wanted water! Someone else had to ask us if we wanted more cocktails and even then, they took another 10 minutes to arrive. For the price you pay, you'd think the service would at least be on par but No. Definitely won't be back.

Yesterday, we wanted something "different" for lunch (translation- not one of the places we visit all the time) and the Boy wanted meat. So I threw out a bunch of ideas and he picked Dantanna's. I hadn't been in a long time and other than the ordeal of getting there - the 2 mile drive I have!- thanks to a lane being closed on Peachtree for God knows what reason, it was an excellent experience. (The traffic situation is not, of course, Dantanna's fault, just had to mention it - also, note that the company that owns the building they're in is re-facing the whole thing so while it looks like a construction zone, D's is still fully up and running just with only one side of their stairs open!). Anyway, it was a great lunch. I have in general (except for a couple blips per my previous reviews) always liked their food. Turns out that our bartender - I love to sit at their bar as it is such a cool shape and is good for a single diner, a couple or even a group - was Gigi, who knew the Boy from years ago at another restaurant. She was awesome!! We were definitely hungry so we started with the awesome chicken egg rolls, which are my fave version of this item anywhere in town- so well flavored, no black beans (I do not dig) and not stridently/trying to be "spicy" as some places try to advertise. And while I've had many a burger at Dantanna's (fully endorse them, btw) it was a day for steak, specifically the 8oz (or maybe 10, can't remember) filet - we got it to share with asparagus and fries. The steak was delicious. I always love their asparagus and fries so this whole meal was perfect. It wasn't too crowded - some wine tasting was going on with reps visiting at our late-ish (2pm) lunch hour, a good and relaxed vibe, super service and good food! Perfect break in a stressful week! Must return soon.

Spending $100 at this restaurant just was NOT worth it. I've had better steak at a Mexican restaurant. I was told by a close friend that this place had really good wings for appetizers but it wasn't worth it at all. There are way better places to eat in Atlanta! Don't waste your time here! Oh and also I'd like to add the management will pretend to send you gift cards if you make a complaint on yelp, but you will not receive anything, it's just them trying to tell you not to write a review on them.

In town for the week and we tried out this fancy sports bar. Happy hour was busy so that tells you something right there. Customer service was on point for us, this seems to kind of waver based on past reviews. I enjoyed the blackened shrimp fingers. The serving was generous and I'd say it serves 4 or more as an appetizer. Great deal if you get the happy hour price!

First time at this lovely restaurant. I loved the atmosphere. If you can, try to sit on the patio. Our server's name was Derroll. He's very popular and an AMAZINGGGG server. Get him if you can!!! Food? Appetizer: Crab & Artichoke dip. () Entrees: 1 Spinach Salad with shrimp added. I got the small portion which was very filling for a young woman. Once again, amazing!!! 2 Caesar wrap. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The wrap was VERY dry and the chicken was very salty. *Could've just been the cook on duty though* All in all, I will be returning. 5 out 5 stars!!!

The service and the food was amazing. I'm particular about good service from having been in customer service for years, so I've come to expect a certain level at my age. I was quite impressed by the hospitality by everyone I encountered. Our server did very well to answer all of our questions patiently as well as tend to our needs. We felt like valued guests the entire time. The manager also checked in and made sure we were satisfied. I'm quite a fan of eggs benedict and crab cakes, so I had the crab cake eggs benedict brunch plate. It was expertly prepared. It was not only delicious, but also plated beautifully. I'm sure we will return next time we're in the area.

I can't remember that last time I was so impressed by French fries. Dantanna's does some insanely good fries!!! Actually, they do insanely good with a lot of things. I stopped by with my aunt and sister for lunch, and I ordered the crab cakes, which were fantastic. And those fries that came with it perfectly satisfied my craving for something a little greasy, with just the right amount of crisp. Place was empty, but service was fast. Great lunch spot with lots of shopping nearby!

We came here for a family dinner, and it was a nice atmosphere for that. We were looking for a place to get a classic American meal, either steak and a baked potato or salmon, and we were very satisfied. I ordered a sirloin, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and tasted about as lean and melt-in-your-mouth as a filet (albeit with more flavor), which to me is a sign of excellent preparation. Both parents got the blackened salmon, and the restaurant was accommodating of one's request for it to be lightly blackened and cooked well. Both parents were impressed, and I must admit the salmon was as good as other fish places I've eaten at. Returned two times since then, got the steak once more, and most recently tried the oysters, which weren't quite as good at the steak compared to other places, but still a good meal. The place gets very busy on holidays, but on a regular weekend, you can get a table with no reservations if you go early enough.

Well, overall the experience was good. The steak was tasty the beer was good and the service was pretty great. With all that in mind, my steak was ordered med rare and could have been a little less medium with a little more rare. I ordered the ribeye with mashed sweet potatoes and a salad that came out before with champagne lime vin and it was very good. I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon barrel Ale to start and an old fashioned later... I sent back the old fashioned because it just didn't taste right. Honestly I am particular about how you make an old fashioned because so many people get it wrong. I ordered it conservative (no muddled fruit) and that's how it came. The server was really nice about it and the manager as well. The replacement wasn't much better so I just went with it. Overall I will most likely return to this place. All restaurants can have off nights but I enjoyed the service.

Stopped here for a lunch meeting. Ordered a blue cheese burger, which was good but not special. Where I was seated, there was a person seated behind me and our chairs were pretty close together. For some reason the server insisted on trying to squeeze through the narrow gap between the two chairs - and as you can imagine, continuously bumped into me. I would say at least a dozen times - making my experience rather uncomfortable.

I definitely suggest getting the crab fingers for an appetizer!

Jose P.
Food consistently misses the mark here... BCS burger - order medium and it was cold and raw in the center. Terrible. Blue crab appetizer - Crab tasted like fish - terrible. Oysters - Some tasted funny, next day my stomach was upset. Overall don't order any seafood here, it's not good and doesn't taste fresh to me. Stick to the basics that you can cook at home. CONS: - Food is overpriced for what you get. - Service is below average. - Wait staff is not easy on the eyes. PROS: Great atmosphere

We came in on a Friday around 7 or so. There was alot of people in there but we were seated quickly. Service was good. we got the egg rolls, the hushpuppies and the Frueben which were all great! the blue cheese mashed potatoes has a very strong blue cheese flavor but still good. I'd go back.

I've been to Dantanna's on numerous occasions and experiences varied from okay to terrible. - CARELESS SERVICE. During the last visit, it seriously felt like the waitress was doing s a favor by serving us. As she was bringing beer to the table, she could barely hold the tray steady and when she put the glass on the table, both her tray and the outside glass were covered with beer. She also had a very careless attitude and clearly did not want to be there. She wasn't necessarily rude, but it just felt like she was doing a favor serving us. - GAME WE WANTED TO SEE WAS NOT PLAYING. Now, I completely understand that during March madness season, a Real Madrid vs Barcelona soccer game may not be on too of the list for many of their clients. However, we called and asked beforehand if the game would be playing. They confirmed it would be. When we got there, it was not. It took one of the employees 10 min of gametime to put it on the tv screens in the very back, with several other groups of people sitting and waiting. If it wasn't for my friend who knew soccer channels, this would have taken even longer.

I've now been to all three Dantanna's locations and once again had a great experience at the Buckhead location. I am giving this location 5 stars because I had really outstanding service from one of the waitresses working in the bar area. She was friendly, polite, and took good care of me without being overbearing or intrusive. As with the other locations, this Dantanna's is excellent for sports viewing with a theater-like experience provided by the big screen behind the bar and the curving seats in front of the bar. There is a lot of excitement from fans of different teams rooting for their team. The food is several notches above your typical sports bar food, but is not much more expensive than most other sports bars, at least for the burgers and sandwiches. I had a BCS burger which had a huge patty of high quality beef with some cheese and mushrooms. It was juicy and moist and extremely tasty. They have about eight drafts on tap. Most are from local breweries. I assume that some of these are rotating drafts. I had two different beers: an Eventide stout and the Three Taverns Single Intent. The Single Intent was not my style and I wouldn't order it again, but I appreciated being able to try out different beers that I haven't had before. I enjoyed the Eventide stout, but have had better stouts. The parking, by the way, is easy and convenient, with a free lot available with plenty of spots when I visited on a Saturday night. I strongly recommend any of the Dantanna's restaurants, especially for people who want to watch a game while they drink or have a meal.

I want to give you a 5 only cause your steak is halal!! However, it's not that amazing. Steak was okay! I definitely have had better for the price. Ordered the filet minion and it was okay. It's definitely better in taste than the top sirloin that my friend got! Desert: definitely a must!! This is a great place for games, nice outdoor patio, just not the kind of place you wanna get a steak at I guess!

We went here for my mom's birthday because she used to talk about this place all the time. I told her I picked it because I thought it was one of her favorite places. She said "it is?" jeesh...ok on to the review. They must have had a special section for birthdays this particular evening because literally the table in front of us and behind us was celebrating birthdays. Anyhoo, our server, I believe his name was Dante, was very nice an efficient. He gave us suggestions on appetizers, such as the crab fingers. Those were DIVINE. Also, the cajun chicken egg rolls were great as well. For our entrees, people around the table had salmon (which is what I normally get and don't know why i didn't get it this time), key west chicken wings, sweet potato (my mom had this together as her entree), and the springer mountain organic chicken sandwich (my entree). People that had the salmon at the table said it was really good. The key west wings didn't have much taste to them. My sandwich was okay, nothing really to write home about. It could have used something else-a different seasoning, mustard, something. Since it was my mom's birthday they brought out the krispy kreme bread pudding as her birthday dessert. It's funny, it took me forever to figure out that the bread pudding was made from krispy kreme donuts! It was delicious and served with ice cream. All in all our visit was great. Oh yeah the elevator on the outside was not working. Bad if people in your party are handicapped.

Went in for brunch today with a dear friend and even though the weather was beautiful and a bit chilly, we decided to sit out on the patio with the heaters for a change of scenery. The service was better than the last time I came even though the waitress was a bit slow at times. I will say that even though she was slow, she explained where the delays in service was coming from so that made things better. We started with the Cajun chicken egg rolls, rosa mimosas, and the oysters Rockefeller...which was all pretty good. I decided to get the grilled chicken ceaser wrap and was unimpressed. My friends had the beer battered shrimp and was unimpressed as well. We probably could've just stuck with the appetizers and been fine. Decent food. Nothing that spectacular.

I finally got the chance to come here outside of Happy Hour when our team took the admin out for National Administrative Assistant Day. It was relatively busy during lunch, and we ordered quickly, although the server wasn't as quick. We ordered a dozen oysters to share around the table. It was my first raw oyster, and I just couldn't stand it. I'll have to try them again one day but the fishiness really got to me. I ordered the crab cake sliders, which came with two mini crab cake sandwiches. Hit the spot, and cleansed my palette after eating that raw oyster... It came with a side of fries, as well as small tins of Cajun tartar sauce and ketchup. The malt vinegar slaw over the crab cake paired well. I would come here again if I could afford these high prices for pub food... And if service were a little quicker (lunch on a weekday should always be more in and out).

I ate here this evening during a monthly visit to Atlanta while staying at The Westin at Buckhead (it's right next door). This place is a great find and, in my opinion, the quality of food is better than the ridiculously overrated Palm restaurant I ate at last month in the lobby of the same hotel. I had the grilled salmon which, for once, was cooked perfectly along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. While it's hidden from Peachtree Street itself with being at the rear of the hotel it's well worth spending an extra minute or two navigating the busy traffic of Lenox Square situated across the street to make your way here. While I didn't sit outside this time (just a bit too warm) hopefully I'll get a chance to try that out next time. Summary: for the price of a full entree at a generic overplayed chain restaurant you could have a delicious meal here. The service staff is top notch too.

I enjoyed a nice dinner on the patio with some fellow conference-goers. Great location next to the convention center and sports venues. I really enjoyed the Lump Crab and Fresh Berry Salad! It hit the spot and the restaurant gets their seafood fresh, flown in every couple of days. I can't remember the name of it, but they had a great local beer on tap - something Blue Ale? Would have been nice to have the fans on outside, but enjoyed it overall. The service was a bit slow, but I live in the midwest where everything go go go!

This place is a fantastic sports bar. I came here with a couple of co-workers while in town for a conference. I did not know what to expect but was impressed the moment we walked up. The outdoor seating has TVs set up so you can dine outside and catch up on sports. Who doesn't want to do that? It was a little warm outside so we decided to venture indoors for dinner. I had booked a reservation and the host happily sat us at our table. He was really nice and made us feel welcome. Our waitress Tess was super friendly and helpful. She let me ask tons of questions and answered everyone of them which led me to ordering one of the best salads I have had in a really long time. Thank you Tess! I ordered the "scheel" aka Dantanna's wedge with grilled Buffalo chicken. Buffalo sauce is one of my most favorite things in the world so when I see it on the menu in a form other than wings, it makes me very happy! The sauce was pretty spicy and was cooled down nicely with the blue cheese. I added some avocado because I am a California girl and that's what we do! We also ordered a side of the bacon braised kale for the table. It was cooked perfectly and did not have the bitter aftertaste I sometimes get at some of the restaurants back home. There is also a cigar lounge in the restaurant. I am not a connoisseur by any means, but my friend is and he said there was a nice selection and the set up was good for chilling out, watching sports and smoking a cigar. I will definitely be back next time I am in town!

I don't usually write reviews but I think this one should be shared. I went to Dantanna's one night for a couple of drinks with a friend. The next day, I realized my debit card was missing. I knew that Dantanna's was the only place I had been using it so I called to see if it was there. I described it and everything, but the man on the phone said he did not see it. I was sure it was there and no one had been using it so I was confident that I lost it, it was not stolen. The day after I called, I went back up there. A woman was speaking with me (I'm assuming she was the manager) and she retrieved my debit card from the office. I checked my account again after receiving the card back and my debit card had been used twice on Groupon. I did not report this to the manager or police because I had no proof of who the culprit was but all fingers point to someone working at that location. Just don't leave your stuff is all I'm saying.

Yep, Dantanna's is A-OK. I was pleased with my business lunch this afternoon. I ordered the half sandwich and half salad lunch special, choosing Tarragon Chicken Salad sandwich and the Spinach salad, sans bleu cheese. The salad was amazing! The citrusy dressing was very light and the crunch from the almonds was perfect. A little heavy on the red onion, for my taste but I just picked around them. The chicken salad was good. It didn't blow me out of the water, but was a solid, if basic, mixture of shredded chicken and mayo. It could've used a bit more herbs for added flavor. I loved the bread it was served on- a very fresh and squishy bread roll. Overall I was satisfied once the check came and I got out of there for well under $15, drinking water. Service was quick and competent. The portion was just right for a quick weekday lunch.

Not really great. They seem to be trying to hard and don't know what they doing menu wise. Good wasn't good. Service was ok. Much better options in buck head to spend time and $ here.

After running the Peachtree Road Race we stopped in later that day for a few beverages and some appetizers. We sat outside (they have a great patio) and were fortunate enought to have an AMAZING server, Aisha. She was absolutely terrific. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better server in Atlanta. Funny, smart, great to talk with, she engaged our kids, and we would come back again just to sit in her section. Also, we had a margarita (good) and the crab/artichoke dip (really good) and wings. Food and atmosphere were really terrific but the service was outstanding. We need to make excuses to get down to Buckhead more often. Last but not least, we had some Krispy Kreme bread pudding that should be outlawed in at least 15 states. That good. Highly recommend.

Dantanna is always an awesome time but this time I had the best waitress i have ever had Aisha keep my drinks full it was almost like she could read my mind when I wanted a new drink I will definitely be back when she is working. All her recommendation were great. A+++

I went here this past weekend and had the egg rolls. It was very good. My only con was the lightening, it was sort of dark, but our server was one of the best I have had in a long time. We never had to look twice for him, he was always checking in on us. Not sure of his name, however he did tell me he had been there for 8 years.

This is our second time here and this place is VERY underwhelming to say the least. We were here last night for the Ohio State game (go Bucks!) and sat in the bar area. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels to start with. The bacon jalapeno queso it came with was hard and the pretzels did not taste fresh. Hubby ordered a burger with fries and a caesar salad on the side. I got the she crab soup. All things were just mediocre. Hubby loves his burgers and he was not impressed. My soup was ok-tasted like a clam chowder, with 2 small shards of crab. Our waitress was really bad. She was not attentive and we had to ask her multiple times for simple things i.e. silverware, water, condiments, etc. For the prices, you would think that the food and service would be of a better quality. Our last experience was not much better than this...

Ramon G.
So I thought this would be mediocre bar food and that's what I found. I just wanted a light salad after a long night of apps with co-workers. The "salad" was a lump of tarragon chicken on a "bed" of lettuce. Cut to the real: three sprigs of over size leafy greens. Under a bunch of meat and mayo. And a tomato cut in four. BUT they were cool and let me send it back and get something else. And they have beer and basketball.

Hate to give a bad review, but literally couldn't give this place anything but one star (or less). Came here for dinner and everything was terrible - food was mediocre, service was absolutely horrendous, our order took forever and to finish off they calculated everything wrong on the bill. It's my first time here so not sure if it's a fluke, but won't be returning anytime soon. Might understand on a weekend, but pretty sad for a Tuesday night.

We were visiting Atlanta for a conference and our hotel concierge recommended we try Dantanna's for lunch last Saturday. The food, atmosphere and service were fantastic! Our server, Rocky, was personable, offered (good) recommendations and made us feel more than welcome. For lunch I had the salmon sandwich and my boss has the mahi-mahi. We were both impressed with the food and even more impressed when the manager, Kevin, stopped by to check on us during our meal. The entire experience was so over the top that we even went back for dinner that night! We were lucky enough for Rocky to wait on us again. The food continued to impress and the evening manager, Cornelius, was also fantastic! Thanks for everything Dantanna's! This is a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Atlanta!

Wow, happy hour here is the greatest . Love their half off appetizers and their classic martinis. Best of all is Kevin, our Bartender. He is very courteous and very friendly, always made us feel comfortable and never lonely. He even remembered my name after a long while, which is not easy to remember. The other Bartender is Derick, another good guy! He always takes great care us always and makes us feel at home! Great place to be in a lot, because of them .

I had the misfortune of eating here for a work function recently. The Palm and Del Friscos are across the street, but I drew the short straw and ended up here. This place is so bad that it doesn't deserve the time I would normally spend on a proper review. Here's the lowlights: I think our waiter was smoking crack. I've never been around someone smoking crack, but I'm pretty sure he was smoking crack. Maybe bath salts? At one point we thought we were being punked because he literally brought the opposite of everything we ordered. Order a bottle of wine, you get a glass. Order a mixed drink, you get the wrong one three times. Order a blackened lobster tail and you get a blackened filet. To top it off he would mysteriously disappear at odd times - like in the middle of taking our orders (probably to smoke more crack). You get the picture. Absolute sh!t show. Now the food. To be absolutely fair my filet tasted fine. The problem was that five people ordered filets medium. Two were well done and three were rare. The sides were also wrong and some salads didn't arrive. We cut our losses and didn't order dessert. We brought several issues to the attention of the manager, but he was clueless. Could not have cared less. The final straw was when we left and saw a pile of dead roaches under our table. Absolutely disgusting. Dantanna's needs to be taken out to pasture and shot. Someone please close this place and put them out of their misery.

Had Sunday brunch, Food excellent (had Dantanas Eggs and oysters) great wine and exceptional service! Definitely a great place to go to with friends! Cannot wait to come back to Atlanta to visit again!
Best bar/restaurant in Atlanta area! I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and my first time visiting there summer 2014 my bartender Kevin gave the best service I have ever received from a restaurant..I worked as a server so I know good service and Kevin is the man! Explains every drink and food ingredient and gives his personal opinions and favorites on everything on the menu..special guy! I've been visiting ATL just to go there because of him..5th time coming in the last year! Definitely a place to visit and ask for Kevin he'll make your visit worth every second!
Love, love this place!! The braised short ribs are to die for!!! I have been there four times and always get something new haven't been disappointed yet! Service is a bit slow but okay never the less!
I really like Dantannas. It's a nice atmosphere, in a good location, with alot of parking, and solid food... think Houstons but with a sports bar element. ATMOSPHERE/DECOR: This is truly a high end sports bar and the clientele solidify this. There's two parts-- the bar area and the restaurant area (and actually there's a cigar room in back too). The bar area is filled with afterwork white collar guys watching the game, the bulk of them were in there dress shirts and slacks, sleeves rolled up, top shirt button undone and engulfed in a game while having drinks. It's a total white collar boys club upfront. The dinner area is chill, with great ambience, medium lighting both booth and table seating. SERVICE: The hosts are always very nice. The servers are nice, but they may have a caveat. For example the last time I was here I had an older man who was nice, but a little clumsy. This time it was a younger woman who was helpful and nice, but had a slight attitude. Those traits just seemed to be apart of there personality though. Because when we got temporary service from others (delivering food, refiling drinks, bringing boxes) they seemed to be more "normal" and friendly. FOOD: So far, its been very good. Salmon -- very good, I paired it with the bacon braised Kale. Made for a delicious dish. Mahi Mahi -- w/ asparagus and mash potatoes. This was a chefs special and it was pretty good, definitely very fulfilling. Filet Mignon -- I'm not a hardcore steak person, but I tasted my friends and it was pretty good. The young lady recommended how to have it made and which rub and sauce to use. (He got it medium, I forget the rub, but I believe it was topped with crab meat and a certain sauce-- he seemed to really enjoy it) Fries-- I just like there fries... perfectly made every time. Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls-- The last time I got them they were amazing, but I was also very hungry. This time they were pretty good. I'll definitely try other appetizers Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Ice Cream-- I've had this twice now and it's very damn good, lol. You feel like a glutton eating it, but it's actually not as sweet as you would imagine... it's perfect. I'll try different desserts from here on out though so I can review those. Bourbon Lemonade-- they added too much ice, but I realize I like bourbon lemonade... a true southerner indeed :-). SUMMARY: I have genuinely enjoyed Dantannas the couple times I've visited. I could see coming here for lunch or dinner, and I believe they're open late night (I've only been for dinner so far). It's a nice spot to have a dinner meeting because it's casual yet fancy at the same time thanks to the sports bar element. We also so Shaq here-- hard to miss 7'1 man though, lol, he stood out mostly because of his jogging suit apparel. You can wear whatever here for sure, there's no dress codes. Alot of business men are up front getting drinks after work and others are having dinner alone before heading back to the burbs. But its not just business people though, its also couples on dates, friends having drinks, etc. Solid 4.5/5 from me as of now. ETC: The one main con I can think of is when I went in February, some of the dinnerware seemed to not be as clean, we had to send some glasses back to get clean ones. So I guess they're more of a 4/5.

It's hard to find all my favorite things under one roof (red meat, cola ketchup, great scotch and cigars) and Dantanna's has them all. Every visit to Atlanta, I make a point to have a meal and cigar here. Does anyone know who the football player is in the men's room?

Kevin Q.
I ordered a flat iron steak with mac and cheese and brocolli. The meat was well cooked and delicious. I'm not sure if it being dry aged made much of a difference, but it was certainly great. Since this is a sports bar there are TV's everywhere. I was there for Game 1 of the 2014 World Series. If you want audio, sit near the bar section, otherwise you can barely hear anything in the standard dining area. I would come here again.

Great upscale sport bar/restaurant. Nice steaks and fresh fish. Daily specials too.

Jon S.
Now this is my new found spot, great place to eat and one of the best humidor around. They have a private area in the rear of the restaurant with lounge furniture and an ample amount of flat panel TV's to view the game on. The bar area is great and has an open air feel to it with plenty of sitting at the bar. It also has an outside sitting area and you can smoke cigars there too. This place came highly recommended and lived up to its recommendations. This was my first time to the Atlanta area and buckhead is the Beverly Hills to the south. Nestled Between large southern estates, I felt like I was in an episode of Atlanta Housewives from all the luxury homes and hoping night life around the area. Do yourself a favor and try Dantannas it's worth it and then cruise across the street and stop by the Cupcake ATM and make a withdraw of a large cupcake.

We visited Dantanna's last year around the time of the World Cup. Even though they had just been roughed up by a very large group of soccer fans, they still managed to have make our visit very pleasant. The food was tasty and the service was great. We even had a couple local beers suggested, which turned out nice. We would definitely go back for a visit!

Visited for our 31st Anniversary, Gift from our "kids" I am not a big Flounder person, grew up with it- to me it has little flavor, but it sounded so good as the special... It surprised me, it was great. I truly enjoyed the light taste complimented by the crawfish topping. The Asparagus was cooked perfectly, not fibery at all, crisp but not hard. based on my sides next thanksgiving I will be making mashed taters with Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic for the family.

Dantanna's has got to be one of my favorite places in Buckhead. The food is tasty and I enjoy the ever changing specials menu. My favorite dish was an Udon and Scallops dish. The Goat Cheese and Marinara appetizer is a must have! I give them a 3 because every time I've ever visited during lunchtime, the service is extremely slow and there's always barely any guest. Also the server is typically the bartender (short hair, African-American woman) and let's just say she doesn't have the best attitude in the world. The have a really good happy hour with great fusion cocktails for $5 AND it lasts until 7:00 p.m.! Thank goodness with Buckhead traffic these days. Overall, I enjoy the food, ambiance and price point.

Rom P.
One of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. Service is terribly slow, unfriendly and disrespectful! Food is poorly prepared and simply unhealthy! Bar scene is the only part of the restaurant that is fair, at best. Impersonal and a "no one cares" attitude about the customer and the food. On two occasions we went to dinner, we felt like we were obligated to kiss everyone's ass to get service and our food. When we complained the lady manager came over and said that's just the way they do things!!! Amazing!!! She should've been fired and banished from ever working in the restaurant industry again!!!

This place is awesome! I never had a steak so good! It is a bit pricey, but it's still reasonable considering the area it's located. The service here is good. The sides are delicious as well. They have a nice bar with a great beverage selection. It's not an ideal place for an intimate gathering however, it's very packed and a little too loud.

Eric T.
Outstanding all around....food, service and value. The restaurant is attached to a cigar room and both were great. The place is beautiful and looks like places costing a lot more. The wasabi tuna and the garlic spinach were as good as I've had and very reasonably priced for the quality and decor. Regarding the cigar shop, Mike was very friendly and very knowledgeable. This place has earned my business anytime I'm in Atlanta.

Actually my rating is 3.5/5 ,but I don't have that option and giving a 3 is too low for this kind of restaurant. Just learned that Dantana was just started in 2003, but it looks and feels more like a matured restaurant. I really like the location and the ambiance.It is really a hidden gem in Lenox ,even though I drove through here 100s of times I just found this one. My checking in here wont disappointment me at all. It's more like a sports bar with upscale ambiance,if they decide to drop the sports label then it will be surely an upscale restaurant. Of course it's not in my top 10 restaurants in Atlanta, but I would like to come back here when ever I am in Lenox mall (This review is not covering the cigar bar ,it's all about the main restaurant) Good - tasty food, great location,reasonable affordable pricing (great plus) , ambiance , service. Bad - nothing much ,but they can improve service or maybe overall professionalism lacking.

Dantanna's provides the upscale sports bar atmosphere of a FOX Sports Grill or ESPN Zone without hitting you over the head with the big corporate souvenirs and name brands of the other two. The prices are similar and the viewing atmosphere is comparable, but the food at Dantanna's is typically better than the other upscale sports bars. Dantanna's has one of the biggest TV's I've ever seen in the bar. The picture quality is phenomenal, and it's a good atmosphere to get a group of friends together to watch a game. The staff is good, service is much better here than FOX or ESPN Zone as well. The final touch that puts it over the top versus its competitors is the big patio that overlooks Lenox Mall. True, the view is kind of blah, but outdoor seating with plasma screens so you can still watch sports is a winner with me every time.
(4)
Roy L.
I go here frequently because of the location and the good food. Good place to take a date if you want to watch sports on your date. Higher end sports bar that feels like a sports bar and an above average restaurant at the same time. The patio seating with the individual screens are a plus and reminds you that you're not at Hooters. I usually order the steak, which is always good along with the gumbo. The waitstaff is kind of slow, but forgiveable. I sometimes just sit at the bar while eating and watching a game. The bartenders are pretty cool too.

Alexis R.
Dantanna's is great location-wise, but definitely on the expensive side. I'd never order a full dinner there, but drinks tend to be fine and their happy hour specials are great (try the lobster lollipops!). It's ideal for after-work happy hours, and it seats a lot of folks.

UPDATE I met up with a friend here for a quick drink. It was a midway meeting point. Four stars because the bartender was great. He recommended a wine for me, then let me taste it first. Nice! Also, I didn't get to eat any food but, what I saw looked and smelled great. One thing that I didn't like was that they still allowed smoking inside. We were there for almost an hour smoke free, then a few people lit up and ruined the fresh air atmosphere. Definitely a loss of a star on that one, which leaves Dantanna's with three stars. --- Already a little tipsy off that DiSarrano, I headed here with my girl friends to have some fun. One of my girls was having a "Waiting To Exhale" moment so, she wanted to get out of the house. Dantanna's ended up being our choice because pretty much everything was closed. It's a nice location. The bar area is pretty large and spacious and the bartender was cool. He was attentive and knew how to pour the drinks. The rest of the restaurant I didn't get to check out because my butt was glued to the bar. As the night progressed, people started smoking. Yuck! The ventilation system must have been broken because it stunk. Otherwise, this is a cool spot. Not pretentious, just laid back.

Joel D.
I've been to Dantanna's several times for happy hour and always had a good time. Upscale enough to feel comfortable in work attire, but a good vibe for unwinding and plenty of tvs to catch sports scores. I recently ate lunch here and was impressed. I had the burger, but the star was the fries. Crispy and tasty!

Casey G.
I go to Dantanna's a lot in the fall to watch football, so this review is for the bar. I would say they have better food than most other sports bars (the gumbo is pretty good!). Bartenders are super friendly people. It does tend to get crowded, though, for big games...so plan ahead!

MickE S.
I had one of the most OUTSTANDING dining encounters at this establishment with a girlfriend of my a few weeks ago! For a Saturday afternoon of non-stop shopping in Lenox Mall, it was a PERFECT way to end the day! She dined on the Cowboy Ribeye w/Dantanna Rub, sauteed spinach, followed by the peach cobbler (to DIE FOR), and I had the NY Strip w/Dantanna Rub as well, garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus, followed by the red velvet cheesecake by Joshua Johns, who is infamously featured on The Food Channel (and NOW I see WHY!). With the food being of organic fare, the additional sauces actually detracted from the natural marinade of the tenderized meat, which was cooked to ABSOLUTE perfection! The menu in itself was SO very impressive, but our waitress, Allison, and her knowledge of the wine list and overall customer service deserves an EXTRA KUDOS! A DEFINITE reason to visit this restaurant on ANY occasion, and WELL worth the money! Conveniently located to the majority of ALL of the shopping malls and districts of the coveted downtown Atlanta experience, with MORE than enough parking if you time your visit right! I would DEFINITELY include this restaurant as one of the MUST-VISIT spots to hit when in-town for a weekend or entertaining and impressing out-of-town guests for lunch or dinner!

Shalin P.
I've never eaten here but have come here often to have a few beers and watch the game. I really like the atmosphere here- a nice upscale sports bar but doesn't seem stuffy or trendy. The huge main wall TV is awesome too. They also have one of these cool looking simulated screens that seems to be suspended in the air. It also seems to be a big Boston Red Sox bar, which is always a bonus.

Terry B.
Expect great service, wonderful cajun chicken egg rolls and Krispy Kreme bread pudding that will dissolve in your mouth. The wine and beer selection was impressive and reasonably priced. The disappointment came when the roasted lamb sandwich arrived. It was chewy and may have been marinaded in rotten fish.

Andre S.
So, this was my first virginal experience to Dantanna's, and I have to say, I didn't like it. Accompanied by a co-worker, we decided to go somewhere we never been, and well, not to give our hard earned money to a chain restaurant. First of all, the don't order a burger if you're hungry. Thinking I was going to get a mouth watering, burger I could sink my teeth in, I only was served half portion. Come on, seriously, who eats just half a burger?! Were they trying to tell me to watch my cholesterol or something? Secondly, DO NOT get the Asian Chicken Salad! It is full of the thick, yellow iceberg lettuce, unflavored chicken, and a very pungent teriyaki sauce. Let's just say, I'm glad I didn't pay for lunch. My meal wasn't worth it.

Jessica R.
I dined here with a group of people on a Monday afternoon prior to the Saints vs Falcons Monday night game. Everyone liked their entrees. I really enjoyed my crab salad. We sat at the bar and the bartender wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't the worst... I would def go back and think it would be a great place to watch sporting events!

Amit H.
I am definitely a fan of Dantanna's, it a upscale sports bar right next door to Lenox mall. It's a great Happy Hour spot, it is always busy with a good mixed crowd. It's an excellent spot to catch sporting event's especially when it is Football/Basketball season, it is great for college and pro sports the place is always packed on the weekends with fans. The Food is pretty good their seafood is good too, they have a fresh seafood bar with everything you can imagine. I enjoy their burgers a lot, well you can't really go wrong with it plus when i am drinking i rather eat something that will absorb the alcohol rather than eat something that will not absorb much and then you will see me failing on my butt and making a fool of myself. Another thing that is pretty cool about this place is that they have a 300 foot walk in Cigar lounge, with decent selection of cigar's. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bar with good food and a sophisticated crowd.

Liz K.
The name after "Dantannas" perfectly spells it out for you... SPORTS BAR, STEAK AND SEAFOOD. They have a sports bar on one side with huge tv's and the "normal" dining area on the other side. The dining area also have tv's so you don't miss out on whatever is on. The food is good for the price and setting. It's a sports bar, you can't expect much. Lots of fried foods, salads, and steak. Service was great. There wasn't too much to choose from the seafood section though.

Kara G.
I'm gonna give this place a no. The vibe is cool great little spot to stop and have a drink or whatever as a first date ice-breaker. The food, well it wasn't great at all. In fact I thought it was a little bit bad. I had the rosemary chicken with sweet mashed potatoes and asparagus. All bland, all average. For the price it just wasn't worth it. And to top it off not one hottie in the bar just a bunch of old horny, married white men, looking for a piece of chocolate. I'll pass next time.

Talib K.
I don't go here much, but when I do, the bartender always remembers me and talks to me like I was just there a few days ago. There's nothing particularly special about this place, but the service I've received has always been top notch. That always worth many return visits. I guess I'm showing my age. The older you get, the less important price and ambiance become, and the more important service becomes. The food is okay, the ambiance is okay, and the smoke can be heavy late night, but the service (at the bar) is great.

Sara S.
they are expensive. i went there for wine and dinner and to catch a good game a few weeks ago and was charged an extra $2/glass for my wine. i didnt notice it until after i had left- but it definately left me with a bad taste in my mouth. i feel as if there is a bit of an identity crisis going on here between the seafood (which is good, don't get me wrong), bar- cigar area- tvs only in the bar area- outdoor seating- and the claim to be an "upscale" sports bar. but its good. they have good food, good service, and you pay extra for both. their wine list is not impressive, and very overpriced. expect to pay no less than $50/person when you go here.

I have always loved Dantanna's. Its always been that type of place that you can go to on a date and have a nice time in the dining room, you can go after a date just to have some drinks and it is also that place that you can watch the game or have a nice happy hour. Dantanna's is all of this. They have wonderful bartenders and chefs. I have to go again but the last time that I went to Dantanna's was a little off, maybe because it was during the week, but I was not impressed. The only thing that was good our trip was the server and the drinks. The regular menu was closed so the only thing that was available was the bar/late night menu and that was only full of bar food. I got the chicken Cesar wrap and my friend got the chicken finger app. My wrap was hard and dry. It came with Romaine Lettuce but this wrap only had the core inside the wrap and that disgusting and completely ruined the expected texture of the sandwich. I could have returned it to the kitchen, but I had already torn it apart to figure out what was so hard inside. The chicken nugget app was decent and the drinks were good. It was a Wednesday night and the only thing that was on was College Basketball. I enjoy Dantanna's it's a dependable place in the Buckhead area that you can always depend on for fun whether on a date or with the girls. It's dependable if you are heading out or winding up the night. I will definitely be back.

The sports bar theme here is so understated, I barely noticed it until reading Rebecca O. and J.D.'s reviews. We went to Dantanna's during lunch, and walking into the interior immediately brings a soothing quality - thanks to the dark woods and probably helped by the freezing temperature. The large space has seating options that run the gamut from restaurant to bar area (great spots for viewing the giant sports-playing televisions) and covered patio (where we chose to sit, despite the monsoonlike thunderstorm). Well respected for their seafood and steaks, the dinner menu prices would reserve this for me as a 'special occasion' place. Lunch, however, has some strong choices in the $10 - $15 range; I got the 'freuben' - fried tilapia, cabbage slaw, Swiss cheese & Russian dressing. It was fantastic. Greasy, but fantastic. Though the menu says sandwiches come with fries or potato salad, the waiter said any side item can be substituted. Garlic mashed potatoes. Good. Not a shocker since they bill themselves as a 'Surf 'n Turf' restaurant, but vegetarians will find the menu here a challenge. If carnivorous friends drag you here, try the portabella quesadilla or spinach salad. Or just drink lots of beer. I didn't visit, but apparently there's also the Buckhead Cigar Lounge at Dantanna's, complete with smoking lounge and leather sofas. This versatile restaurant is comfortable and works if you need a spot for a wheelin' dealin' business dinner in Buckhead, a place to watch the game or celebrate with a giant amount of steak and seafood. Or even just somewhere to lunch and dish about your coworkers.

Great food, Huge Bar, lots of TV's, actually putting on games people want to watch and not the owners of a restaurant want to have on. Really can not beat this place.

I love restaurants that are consistent and Dantanna's is consistently good. Great fish dishes and always good sides. Reasonable prices. Service is usually good but slipping a little lately. Last couple of times we were in - the waiters seemed absent. But the food makes up for it and the hostess is usually very welcoming. If you are near Lenox Mall hop over (just behind the Westin Hotel). Really great place for a very nice lunch without breaking the bank.

I've had an awesome meal here and two alright meals. The wait staff is either hilarious and professional or totally standoffish and bothered, depending on the night.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like going into a bar to be ignored by the entire wait staff for nearly a half hour, finally ordering a drink, getting it fifteen minutes later, realizing it's as watered down as a rainstorm, then finding said drink cost more than a good steak at some places. This place is the most overrated bar I've ever been to, and if wasn't for the invite from a good friend I wouldn't have bothered going. Having gone, I'll say I won't ever go again. If the horrible service, outrageous prices, and cheap use of liquor doesn't turn you off, consider that the place is a swimming pool full of yuppie douchebags with too much money and not enough sense. It's like a really bad J Crew catalog.

The girls and I hit Dantanna's for our March dinner club. Dantanna's is an "up scale" sports bar. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and helpful. There we so many dishes that looked good that it was really hard to choose. I ended up ordering the lobster/scallop risotto. It was creamy and the seafood was perfectly cooked. (even heated up the next day) I also tried a bite of the battered shrimp. The batter was light and fluffy and the shrimp was juicy. I liked having the option of continuing the evening on the bar side without having to leave or sit at our table. Heading to the bar for "one more" is always a plus. I also love the outside patio and would not mind heading back for a game and drink when it gets warmer.

I have heard about this spot forever, and finally was able to make a trip over. Sports is big here, and they have a healthy crowd during most football games. The service was decent, but the food was blah, I think i had the calamari and some type of little steak appetizer....good, but not great. I cant say its one of the most comfortable spots to watch the game either. Maybe its better during the summer when you can sit outside...I'd give it another shot..

This may be a good place to have a beer and watch a game but if you are expecting a nice dinner I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I had a fatty flat-iron steak and the waiter didn't seem to care too much. He offered to get me something else but by that time it had been too long of a wait. The prices are high and they seem to want to differentiate themselves from the average sports bar but my experience was that you are just paying more and not getting good food. Too bad - - we had driven by many times thinking it would be a cool place.

A coworker gave me a gift card to Danatanna's that was about to expire. I hate losing out on anything so "sweets" and I decided to give it a shot, after all its free. The calamari was incredible and the grit cake was a nice touch with the hurricane shrimp. Nice bar-- I will be back.

Wow, great food! I especially enjoyed the deep fried, blue-cheese stuffed artichoke hearts. Damn, those are good. I'm deducting one star for the sports bar atmosphere. Too many TVs turned up too damn loud. Otherwise, it's a good place and we enjoyed everything.

The class and sophistication of Morton's meets ESPN zone. This was highly recommended by a bar tender at the Ritz-Carlton. The self proclaimed premier surf and turf sports bar in Atlanta definitely served up a better than expected meal while I caught up on some needed Thursday night Football on their crystal clear HD Plasma TV's. I am surprised this combination never crossed my mind. Everything from mahogany walls to the bar set up and patio made this a truly remarkable eating experience. The lamb chop with sweet mashed potatoes was phenomenal! Luckily San Francisco does not have something similar to offer, otherwise, I could see myself living and working to sustain my lifestyle with Dantanna's

If you're an avid reader of my reviews (which I highly suggest if you're not) you're aware of my impending boredom when forced to watch sports. However, if I must be surrounded by sports fans and watching a game, I want to be at Dantanna's. The food is far more upscale than at most other sports bars, and the TV screens are big, which means you can see them while sitting happily at a table -- you don't have to cram your body into a crowd at the bar, although plenty of people do that anyway. Food choices range from surf and turf to a Reuben sandwich, salads and onion rings. Friendly to all tastes.

My parents came into town for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday we decided to try Dantanna's. We were extremely impressed. The food was outstanding, and we had an amazing waiter, Lloyd, who was quick with a joke and had a wonderful personality. The food was cooked extremely well and the service was lighthing quick and very attentive.

Reservations? Yes. Restaurant open at time of reservation? NO!!! We made reservations for Mother's Day brunch, which were confirmed by the restaurant via a phone call the Friday before. Between Friday and Sunday, the restaurant decided to open later than our reservation time, yet they neglected to alert us. We showed up an hour before opening, and rather than serve us, the manager offered us coffee while we waited for the restaurant to open. Ridiculous! Especially when one of our party has diabetes and needed to eat at the time of our reservation. The manager did not even offer us anything free (other than the coffee), and gave us coupons only when asked. I will not be going back! Clearly this place is very poorly managed. I would hate to see what the food is like.

My coworker and I usually come here for lunch because the food is excellent here and it's close to our work. Though the service is pretty slow and not exceptional, but since the food is decent enough to bring us back. Unfortunately, today will be the end of my returns to Dantanna's in Buckhead.... First, our waitress, Jennifer, not only had a poker face on as soon as we got there, she took 3 out of our 6 orders wrong. When we informed her that the orders that came were wrong, she insist that we ordered it incorrectly WITH AN ATTITUDE. BTW, I ordered a full size burger with a cup of soup, and she thought it was a 1/2 sandwich and soup combo... 1/2 burger came out. The 1/2 burger looked so pitiful. i should have taken a picture of it so i have proof. My other co-worker's "crabcake slider" came out with the bread as hard as crouton. We joked that we can use them as Frisbees. On top of the hard as rock bread, my coworker also ordered a full sandwich and a cup of soup but only 1/2 of the order came out. I decided to send my overly cooked (probably under the heating lamp for too long) pitiful burger back and she came back and told me that i should order a medium rare. Fine... if that's how the chef believes... i am not going to argue. But I can guarantee you that the first 1/2 burger was overcooked. My other coworker ordered a beer battered fried shrimp with a side salad. A full size salad came out when everyone's entree came out, but the waitress completely forgot my coworker entree order. GAH.... and when we looked at the bill, she charged 1 full size salad, 1 order of fried shrimp, and 1 crabcake ($18) instead of 1 crabcake slider ($15) . Why should we pay for her mistake. When I brought this to her attention, she gave us the attitude of "what now". I decided not to bring is to her manager at the restaurant thinking it would have been better if I don't ruin other patron's lunch. When i call and asked for the manager, a person named, Jake or Jay answered the phone basically asking me what do I want from him. He told me that NO ONE orders a whole sandwish/burger with a cup of soup. That it is not the on the menu. Really, so what did I ordered that's not on the menu? Enlight me! When I told him that it seemed no one in this restaurant seem to own it up to their mistake (including him), he told me he is the owner Dantanna's and he cooked my burger. REALLY, you really should train your staff better and seriously not to give attitudes when mistakes have been pointed out to you. We did not ask to get compensated, we just don't want to spend $200 and get super pissed at lunch. The moral of this lunch is no matter how good the food is, bad service (and customer service) can ruin everything. Sorry Dantanna's, we will never be back.

Great meal with a better waitress (thank you Megan!). Gumbo is always a good app but glad we tried the Key West style buffalo wings! Fish tacos are served enchilada style which was disappointing despite being tasty. Going to get the bread pudding next time.

I do not have that much to say about Dantanna's. It is yet another mediocre attempt at an Atlanta seafood restaurant. If you have deep pockets (or don't care about the cost/quality ratio), then you will find this to be an acceptable spot. Nothing here is horrible, but nothing here is a shinning culinary masterpiece either. I would say it is best for watching a game or for meeting with the peeps after work. That said - I've usually found the place to be heavy on the sausage (if you catch my drift). The food is consistent and the service never seems to drop below passable or go above decent. Speaking specifically to the food - the menu is a bit disjointed and prices are on the high side. They are technically a "Surf & Turf" spot - so that might contribute to their inability to deliver a streamlined concept. The best thing is the raw seafood platter (if memory serves me right - it runs around $20/person) and none of their other appetizers are particularly noteworthy. Dantanna's fry batter is fairly non-descript and bland. Not surprisingly, the chefs do not appear to be familiar with anything outside of salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and oil. When they try and get fancy, they fail miserably. They stock decent quality product - though for the price you pay, I'd call it highway robbery. Their lump crab and avocado sandwich comes in at $14. I would say it's worth about half of that. Bottom line, there isn't anything here you cannot find a better alternative for somewhere else in the city.

Plenty Of T.V.s and pretty darn good food, I was pleasantly surprised it really feels like they took the best of both worlds with a bar and a classy restaurant. I've been here quite a bit and i've liked everything for the most part the burgers and chops are really good

pretty average food for the price. the service was also exceptionally slow considering the place wasn't too busy when we stopped by here. nothing special, but if you got time to kill, it's worth a try to stop by for lunch.

So this place is like an upscale sports bar. Has a huge patio with lots of TV's, drink prices are reasonable, great service, some attractive servers. The bartenders are quick and make great drinks. Food is pricy but there are a few modest priced food items but prepare to spend some cash if you eat a lot like me. Inside look has a lot of wood, think Anchorman Ron Burgundy move- rich mahogany and leather bound books except you want find books there. They have a humidor room to which you can buy a cigar from a pretty big selection of cigars and have a room by the humidor where you can smoke your cigar with other cigar smokes and chill as well if you dont want to smoke it on the patio.

T. Murray -.
his is another venue that has been 3 different things in the past 8 years. When I was in college this was home to Benigan's, a bar and restaurant where a couple of my classmates made extra cash. Then it became Monty's and I was really sad to see this one go. The stone crab claws were to die for and the bartenders and manager were the best. Now it is Dantanna's, which to me is almost a mix of the two former residents. It is a seafood restaurant that wants to have other options as well. I liked my food but I wasn't overly impressed. The one thing I will commend the new owners on is putting in more TV screens to give this place a more upscale sports bar look and feel. As a stand alone restaurant with no inside entertainment, this venue just couldn't seem to find it's niche. Now at a minimum, Dantanna's can contend with the bar crowd at nearby Clubhouse.

I have been coming here for a while and the best food items are the burgers with a side of their own bbq sauce and the quesadillas because of the different red tortillas they use. Its also good to watch games in the bar area but if the crowd is to big, you cant even think about getting a seat. Overall cool place to hang and the only true sports bar in buckhead.

Jennifer G.
I keep going back thinking its going to get better but I've been 3 times now and have been disappointed every time. I'm sure its great for "game days" and bar food but there are too many good restaurants in Buckhead to go here. The SheCrab soup is way too thick with no flavor, the steak salad was completely dried out and the dessert I had (with a muffin I believe?) was literally hard as a rock. Service and atmosphere were both good however the food is what makes a restaurant I believe.

I have pretty much been impressed with Dantanna's each time I have been. I got the mahi special last Friday night and it was excellent! The apps are good especially the beef carpaccio. I highly recommend the lamb shank, one of the best shanks around Atlanta and I know my shanks!

My husband and I have eaten at Dantanna's on several occasions. The food has always tasted fresh and delicous, with one exception the bread. We didn't care for the bread. As for the desserts, they still have the Jack Daniels cake on their menu which isn't served anymore according to one of the waiters. However, the banana dessert is very good.

Came here on a sunday afternoon, place was packed & loaded with NFL fans, especially in the bar area along the right side when you walk in. On this particular day it seemed everyone in here was a pitiful Bears fan(seriously expected Farley and his cohorts from SNL to show up). Ended up getting a table in the back of the bar with a direct view of the giant projector screen along with that of a fairly hot waitress who looked liked one you would find on milfhunter.com .. Definitely would go back just to have her as my server next time. Friendly wait staff brought us over a strong batch of drinks and some decent appetizers. Order the seafood entrees if you go here, the burger my date ordered was mediocre and nothing to brag about. Drinks were strong and in heavy glasses, bloody marys and pints seemed to be the steady stanby for most the finished(read..fat people) patrons of this establishment. Huge wine list and a nice selection of both domestic & Import beers. Very cool place to watch a game, crowd was a mixed bag of 20-40 years olds. No annoying kids or overly crazy football fans either made for a nice place to catch a game. This is definitely a good spot to go watch the game with your Broad. Also seems like a quick and easy place to bring your mom or even granny for a early dinner.

If you do not get the lamb then don't talk to me. Ohh its good. Its really really good. I don't go in for the sports bar part, but you barely notice unless you are looking for it. I like that I don't have to fight so hard to get my husband to go out someplace 'nice' when I mention Dantanna's. I have had at least one bad experience there so I can't give it a 4 or 5. If I only reviewed the lamb it would be a 7. Yes, it really is that good. Stop reading reviews and just go. And if I am wrong then write your own review. Deal?

3 words: Pork chop heaven! If it was not for the bartender Joey, I'd definitely have walked out; he's probably one of the most courteous in the business and truly treats his patrons with respect and timely service. The La Creme Pinot Noir pairs well with the organically raised pork and a definite must have; this meal was close to the one I had in Chicago. I don't usually rave about Pork chops unless when I have a good time. Beware of laptop totting women that are socially challenged and have "bad energy" - observations from my time watching the game. There was many nice people having a good time, mostly yuppies :)

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a sports bar with class and just an all around great place if you wanna stop in to have a few drinks, sit on the patio to watch a game or take your pops out for dinner and finish up with a cigar in the back. I can't say that I've had a bad meal at this place. The blackberry ribs are to die for, lamb shank IS awesome and blue cheese mashed potatoes? Yummm. I personally enjoyed the chicken wings and I'm a chicken wing nut, crispy and hot, just like I like them. And service? For me? Always fantastic. This place gets crowded on the weekends so you might want to call ahead if going during dinner rush.

Dantanna's is a very different animal than your average neighborhood sports bar. Gone are the framed jerseys and random home town bric-a-brac. In their place you will find tasteful decorations, calm lighting (no neons), and top of the line projection televison images. the menu reads more like a fine steak house than a sportsbar. Most of the dishes are executed very well. They have a big variety here, everything from lobsters to aged steaks. Other complex dishes include lamb shanks, crab legs, and some nice salads. you can still order a burger or wings as well. the bar fills up quickly on big game days, but the dining room reamains surprisingly comfortable. I think of Dantannas as more of a neighborhood restaurant than an actual sports bar, because to be quite honest this isn't the best place to watch a game--it is however a great place to eat, drink and meet with friends. Parking is free in the around Lenox Lot, do not however leave your car in that lot to go across the way to Lenox mall as your car will be booted within minutes upon you doing so. Look out for the white "rapist van", he is looking out for you to boot your ride!

This is not only a great sports bar wth plenty of energy, but the food here is great as well. Th service is really nice and quick and the waiter that I had was he nicest guy. Good dessert recommendation and he even sat down with me for a second to talk. Very friendly. The appetizer salad that I had was really tasty, as it had so many different flavors with the sweetness of the fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) and tropical fruit to the other flavors of the mixed greens, tomatoes and crab meat. Very delicious. The entree was a special for the night that was was chamazing with pecan crusted pan seared halicut cheeks with sides of mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus with also a side of sauteed spinach. I love my greens. The dish was a hefty portion, but so good. The combo of sweet potato with the halibut made for a killer taste. For dessert, the waiter said that the bananas or the peanut butter mousse cake were the best so I went with the mousse cake just becaue he said it was addicting. It was goo but not the best dessert I've ever had. Very good though. I'll have to get the bananas next time. There are televisions everywhere with plenty of noise abound. There was about a twenty minute wait but that's fine with me. I walked some college football and baseball while waiting. Those crazy Red Sox. TVs everyweher so no worries there. This is great for a night out with some buddies or for a business pow-wow. Enjoy. It's hard to find, but right behind the Lenox Mall on the first left on Peachtree after the mall. Surprisingly, priced very well for what you get.

Food quality is surprisingly high given the somewhat unusual 'high-end' sports bar theme. Food is well proportioned, excellent cooked, and nicely presented. The New York strip I had on my second visit was perfect. Side asparagus (very well prepared, i.e. not overcooked!) and fries (which were fantastic!). Fish tacos on the first visit were tasty, Caesar salad good too. On both visits, service has been outstanding. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Prices are not sky-high, either.
I've tried several items on the menu - all amazing! My favorite place to go watch my St Louis teams play when in Atlanta for work. They are always willing to turn the game on since they have several TV's and remember me when I come in, even if it's been a few months. Can't beat great service and great food - whether you sit at the bar or in the restaurant!!

I didn't expect much walking in, the look reminded me of a higher end chain restaurant sports bar. However, my opinion changed significantly after witnessing the efforts of a superb waiter, noticing the prices for the area were actually not the worst, and the food was presented well and pretty tasty! My dish wasn't my favorite, so they were teetering on 4 and 5 stars for me, but who knows, maybe the next visit I'll try something different and bump it up to 4.5! (I'll round up of course ;)

Luckie D.
Why 3 stars......I continue to come here for the patio, the location abd the NFL football games. This IS the upside. Had the bloody Mary bar today it was perfection. The food continues to disappoint. Flavorless wings and a below avg burger. Let's face it this is not the place for great adult food or inspired creations. Dantannas remains a great sports bar struggling with it's identity, who wants to be accepted as a restaurant.

For a sports bar the food is out of this world! We got in around 1am and found they served until 2am so we tried a few things off the menu. The Reuben was great, chicken sandwich was amazing and the wine list for a sports bar wasn't that bad. We loved the server- she was so sweet! I never expected the food to be good here but I am so happy it was:) We will be back!

Very good food! It's an upscale sports bar located in the upscale part of Atlanta called Buckhead. It has a great atmosphere and huge TV screens everywhere. Sort of a combination of 'Ruth's Chris/ESPN Sports Zone'. Service was good, they had to return two of our plates back for wrong side items, but it was rectified in a timely manner. For our appetizer, we ordered a fabulous lump crab cake which was true lump crab meat and not canned minced. We ordered steaks for dinner. The steaks have a choice of different rubs, my family chose the garlic rub. We each ordered a ribeye, sirloin & butterflied filet, all cooked exactly like we wanted it. The garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. The Mac-n-Cheese had bacon bits which have it that southern twist. Needless to say, our plates were empty :)

Kimberly G.
I absolutely adore Dantanna's! I feel it's extremely underrated. I've been here three times & two of those times, had the BEST steak cooked exactly how I asked. Garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus are both amazing, as well. Love their drinks & the bartenders & servers are all super pleasant & friendly. They have a great outdoor patio, lots of tv's, but the place is a little dark. Great for date nights or just dinner with friends. Sat at the bar one night this past weekend for wine & can't say enough good things about the bartenders. Super nice. I love this place & it's a go-to for dinner. Great location in Buckhead within walking distance of Lenox mall & multiple hotels.

A friend of mine from L.A. was in town for a weekend and felt like having a good steak for dinner, but obviously not at a restaurant that can also be found in California. We turned to good ol' Yelp for a steak place near his hotel in Buckhead, and we came across Dantanna's. Located next to Lenox Square Mall, it was pretty close, so we decided to try it out. At first, we were told we would have to wait a while unless we wanted to sit in the patio area. My friend didn't really care, as long as he got to watch the USC vs. Oregon football game from where we were seated. The patio was spacious and pretty empty - except for the couple that was smoking. Now I don't know about you, but I hate the smell of cigarettes - especially while I'm trying to eat. So, after trying to tolerate the stench for a few minutes, I finally just told my friend that I'd rather wait for however long we needed to wait than sit out here and EAT while inhaling second-hand smoke. He didn't care either way, so I told the hostess that we would wait for table inside. Fortunately we only needed to wait about 10 minutes for a table (after the hostess had initially told us it would be like 20 to 30 minutes). And luckily for my friend, the USC vs. Oregon game was on the screen directly in front of our table. Although I am a Trojan, I was never really into football and didn't care about the game. I was really hoping the steak was good because I just kinda sat there (with my back to the screen) while my friend was enjoying the game. After looking at the menu for a few minutes and being a little appalled by the prices, I decided to order the 8 oz Top Sirloin ($21!!!) cooked to medium temperature. My friend ordered the 14 oz Ribeye ($28). All steaks come with your choice of two sides, and I decided on the Bearnaise Mushrooms and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. I thought the sirloin steak was good, but not the best I've ever had. And I recall that it was cooked more medium-well than medium, but I didn't want to complain to the server. The Bernaise Mushrooms, which looked to be a mixture of two or three different types of mushrooms cooked in the buttery and herb-infused Bernaise sauce, were really flavorful and delicious. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were also very good. However, I could not see how the price of $21 could be justified! To top it off, when I got my check, I noticed that the server had added a couple bucks as an "extra charge" for ordering the Bernaise Mushrooms as one of my sides. The check indicated that it was a "premium side" or something. Funny thing is, nowhere on the menu does it indicate (with an asterisk or separate section) that any of the sides were "premium" sides that one would be charged extra for. So I informed my server, who then had to "check on this" and then came back with the corrected check. I know that Dantanna's is supposed to be an "upscale" sports bar type of restaurant, but maybe that's what I hate most about it. I mean seriously, this is NOT a nice place to go with someone who does not enjoy watching sports. However, my friend seemed to like this place as he got to watch the game he thought he was going to miss AND enjoy his 14 oz Ribeye. Two birds with one stone for steak and sports lovers! Overall, I feel that Dantanna's deserves 2.5 stars. The service was just "meh," my steak wasn't cooked as I wanted it, it was overpriced, they tacked on an unnecessary extra charge, and I just did not like the idea of the upscale sports bar. I feel like a place should be either a nice restaurant OR a sports bar, but it can't be both. Although the food was good, I strongly feel that it's overpriced and would not recommend this place to my friends. I do not plan to return. [Review 008 of 366]

Dantannas is a typical steakhouse. I went here with friends while visiting Atlanta, and I really enjoyed my meal. I was HONGRY when I got here as I had been driving for hours and didnt eat anything so I was ready to stuff myself - and STUFF I did! I got the flash fried crab claws as an appetizer - YUM. I got the 14oz. ribeye - bigger than I normally like it, but oh well. I got it with the Oscar topping, which is a cream sauce and jumbo lump crab with sauteed mushrooms & bleu cheese mashed potatoes. The food was GREAT! The steak was cooked just the way I wanted it - medium. And dessert, yes, I threw caution to the wind and had dessert. Not just any old dessert, but freakin KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING!!!! It was amazing. I was so full, I couldnt finish it, but I loved that I tried it. The service was good. Drinks & food came fairly quickly and the waiter was accommodating. If youre in Atlanta and in search of a great steak - check this place out!

The food is SO good. I started off with their chicken and artichoke soup - delicious! Then I had a salad - and two sides - don't judge! The Mexican corn was so good. The best part of this amazing meal was the chocolate pie. It just melted in my mouth! Our server Johanna was great as well.. Very professional with great suggestions! Oh, and the take out boxes were cardboard and not styrofoam and I loved that, as styrofoam doesn't recycle. We shall be back!

Came here for the first time yesterday and was not pleased. It was the only place around that closed late. The place was nearly empty and our server was horrible. She never offered us any water, didn't leave any silverware for us, and was nowhere to be found when we wanted to check out. We had to check out with the manager. In addition, Our steaks were over cooked. Don't think I will be back...

Don't sit at the bar unless you are comfortable being hit in the head by the server tray. Even better was when he said, "you arright" and kept walking. Definitely put a damper on the evening.

This was one of the main highlights on my mini vacation to Atlanta. Sports fan, keep on reading. My curious mind wanted something different; I decided to come along and ride on a fantastic voyage to the Buckhead neighborhood. I had Dantanna's on my list of places to check out for dinner. Upon arrival, you'll notice a dimly-lit, semi-upscale sports bar in the center, while restaurant style tables sit on the left-hand side. Oh yeah, and just a couple huge flat-screen TVs right behind the bar. Honestly, I thought the crowd would be a little younger; I had to be the youngest male in the establishment. No, I did not stay around long enough to figure out if this is a Cougars bar. Nonetheless, there was a sexy vibe that could be felt throughout on the Friday night I attended Dantanna's. I fail to remember the name of my bartender/waitress, but she was attentive and friendly throughout. There was another waitress who came in some time thereafter to provide backup, and she was friendly as well. From the menu, I ordered the Buffalo wings. The wings came out just the way I like my wings, HOT. Napkins were drenched, water was gulped, blue cheese was dug into, and I finished a happy camper. The Buffalo Wings were priced a little more than what you can get somewhere else, but I was content on trying something on the menu without breaking bank. It was a safe, but good choice. There was not a big sports game on at the time of my stay at Dantanna's, but I would like to think that it gets crowded here when a good Falcons/Braves/Bulldogs game is televised. Would I come back to Dantanna's? Absolutely. Would I recommend Dantanna's? Of course. Will I find out if Dantanna's is a cover up for a cougar's bar? To be continued.

The menu is very attractive to those who want something different. The mimosa is a good choice too. The mimosa with tge red bull in it is interesting. It didn't make me feel like I was on an energy high which was great but I want tonight out that the crab cake.............. I had to take a moment. It is PHENOMENAL! I high five the chef or whom ever derived the recipe. I'm a Carolina boy so I know good crabcakes! Now, this thing called a steak. Baby these here people had me at the presentation. It was soooooooooo freaking delicious. The flavors you can vary so far as a rub or marinade etc. I love tasting new stuff but I wouldn't mind a second round here.

This is a standard sports bar in Buckhead area. Like other reviews said there are multiple TVs play different sports channel. Went there for lunch with coworkers on chick-fil-a football game day so it was packed with fans from NC and TN. I had fish taco with mango salsa and asparagus. The fish taco and mango salsa actually taste good; however it was way too soft and wrapped in a weird way so my hands got really messy. Attention: avoid messy food when it is a formal business lunch... The asparagus were too thin and overcooked.
I am in town traveling for work and was looking for something different. I went to eat alone (boohoo) but didn't feel alone as the hostess and waiter (Kevin) were very friendly and fantastic! Kevin let me know where they sourced their ingredients (local farms primarily), not because he asked but because they are proud of this! They are apparently known for their wines, but I enjoy beer instead. They have a great selection of local and craft brews. I started with some hush puppies, they were unlike any I have had before. They were light, came with some greens and a fantastic sauce. The corn inside kept them moist, and they weren't saturated with oil. I ordered the special for that day which was stuffed Ahi Tuna with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. The mashed potatoes and green beans were fantastic sides! The potatoes were straight forward but well seasoned certainly real/fresh potatoes. The green beans were also fresh and roasted well, served cooked and crisped, not soaking in some liquid. The Tuna was stuffed with seasoned fresh crab, and topped with a peppered hollandaise sauce. I asked for a rare cook on the fish, and it was cooked perfect. It was a generous, thick, cut of Tuna. It was seared perfect, and just barely warmed to the center. The stuffed crab was nice inside, and the sauce was fresh, and just the perfect amount. If I find myself back in Atlanta, I will definitely return.

The only reason I can give this place a two is that the appetizer was good. Other than that, the food took too long before it was delivered which may explain why my fries were cold. My burger was utterly disgusting and it left me with a horrendous aftertaste. My friend ordered the shrimp and said it had no flavor at all. On top of that the waitress was unpersonable and appeared to be put out having to take our order.

The food is good particularly the Braised Lamb Shank. The service is excellent. However once I could not find a seat at the bar however that's what happens at a good restaurant.

The food was very good, but it is noisy. Overall the options for steak preparation, speed of service, and the sweet tea will make me a returning customer. The distracting televisions and close proximity of seating is worth it.

Nice decor. Mostly attentive service. Plenty of TV's. Really good burgers. The only drawback? The fries are terrible. Any sports bar (and that's what it is, albeit an upscale one) needs to offer great fries.

We sat at the bar and had Lobster Claws which were awesome. Mac n Cheese was okay. Fried Oyster Rockefeller great also. Gloria was our bartender she was very knowledgeable and attentive.

I'd give Dantanna's 2 stars at best, and only because the food was decent. The atmosphere at 9 pm was awful. We sat in the dining room. If you face the back of the dining room, you are going to be dealing with a disco ball type of light show based on where their projector is located. The back wall has mirrors that also catch the light so it gives off an abandoned bar at 3 am feel even at 9pm. Plus the light ray from the projector hits the mirrors and shines back in your eye. Our server was ok at first. Orders taken correctly and service was prompt until it seemed she got a few too many tables. I know this isn't her fault but she was clearly flustered. The manager then delivered our food to the wrong table, figured it out, picked it up off their table and brought to ours. After waiting almost 10 minutes to see our server to get our table cleared and to get our check, we finally just sat our credit card on the edge of the table to give our server a hint. She grabbed it up, and we expected her to ring our check and return it immediately (the register was 6 feet at most from our table). However, she walked around with our card in her apron for 5 minutes, and even went to her purse to grab cigarettes WITH our card in her apron! Finally she walked back by and I asked for our check and our card back. She seemed to have forgotten completely that she had even grabbed it! Another server was yelling over tables to the host that they were all going out and that she had better come with them! Overall, yuck. Decent food is not enough to save an experience like that.

I initially went with three stars, but had to bump it up a notch because of the service we received from the bartender. Wow, he was definitely on his game that night very friendly and his descriptions of dishes on the menu almost made me want to order one of everything he was describing. This place is definitely the spot for an after work happy hour, as it was pretty busy around 6, and the whole bar area was packed with people watching the games on TV. *read: great spot for singles* The food (Ruben sandwich) was plentiful and pretty good.

Kellie N.
Great place. I love sitting at the bar and having dinner. The after-work crowd is great. The bartenders are very nice and interactive...and the food is really good. I had the wasabi tuna and it was AMAZING! The TVs are great for watching sports while enjoying a cocktail and food. The restaurant side looked nice...I'll have to go back and take friends to sit on that side.

DUDE, the steak here is AMAZINGGGGGGG holyyyy molyyyyyyy didnt think much of the beer/bar/etc....bc we were here for MEAT! haha I got the 14 oz New York Strip (medium rare plus) and my friend got the 20 oz Cowboy Cut Ribeye (Pittsburgh--blue on the inside & charred on the outside). Both were cooked PERFECTLY and seasoned PERFECTLY. omg I would like some right away....right now..... had a bowl of their she crab soup. it was pretty tasty, but got a few crab shells....so weird....maybe this indicates...the.....freshness of the crab?? but there really werent that many chunks of crab....soooo....hm? -1 star bc of the price.... it was much much much much more expensive than anything else on the menu, both around $30. but really +1 star bc it was so delish.

Dantanna's rests in a part of Atlanta where it is seen and be seen. While traffic can be murder to get there, parking is plentiful and the food? Awesomeness. In a swanky shopping district, I easily assumed Dantanna's was a upscale, "couples only" (my way of saying avg. dish price greater than $25), stuffy, small portion spot. I was fortunately wrong. The restaurant needs to emphasize the "sports bar aspect" because it really is one at its roots. Large projectors, active bar and delicious food with grand portions (almost close to the majesty of Marietta Diner [check them out too!]). It is a classy space, but a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. My only points of gripe are the lack of various menu items (asparagus, broccoli, baked potatoes, cowboy ribeye and skirt steak) and an attached cigar shop which perfumed the dining area with a light rancid smoke scent, of which I am not a fan. However, Atlanta just came out of another mini-ice apocalypse for deliveries and Valentine's day was this past Friday (I went here on Sunday), so the lack of items was understandable to me. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 7 with predominately steak/bigger items. Also, they have a killer rewards program; you can get $25 off your order during your birthday month and points that accumulate to chef-catered dinners, freebies, etc. I love that sort of thing. Not a 5-star for the lack of items and smoke, but a great experience overall. Will definitely be back for the specials and food.

The good thing about Dantanna's is that 1) it's open late; 2) it has plenty of TVs; and 3) it's open late. When you're in town for a conference and other bars chase you out, Dantanna's will continue to serve you well into the night. The layout is interesting - it has a bar...then a ring of bar stools and bar seating behind it. Reminds me of an old drive in movie theater...for sports viewers who drink. I love it. Bar tenders were friend - the only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because when I ordered a crab dip and asked for the large size, I got some tortilla chips and the size of a cup of soup, not a crock like you'll get in other places. Yet I was charged for crock prices. No bueno. The drunk fatty in me needs food, not snacks when inebriated.

This place is a consistent dinner spot for me. The bar and atmosphere of a big-box chain betrays what is really a well thought out and solid menu. It's the perfect place to bro out as a young professional. There are sports screens galore and it's a reliable place to get something tasty and healthful for the right place in the right location at the right time. I think you can't really go wrong, if you have the expectation you're just looking for a solid experience. You don't need to be overwhelmed every time, and sometimes you just want a big hunk of meat with two sides, you know? This being said, I think there are some things you can get and avoid: Get: broiled crab claws. supplement that with a lighter entree (i.e. fish special or salmon). what you could do is also the beef short ribs, easily one of the best choices on the menu. All of the specials are good deals and worth getting--be confident knowing that they're really not trying to rip you off with the bottom-of-the-bucket leftovers. I really believe they try. Don't get: salads are weak here. you can do better at a salad bar if you really know what you're doing. If you need your veggies, there's really nothing nothing wrong with them. Note that the reuben is great, and the seafood cioppino is loaded with hake, squid, and maybe some clams/mussels. I would not really recommend the cioppino as it seems to be stewed with some of the leftover cuts of fish, but then again, that's really what the intent of a true cioppino is. Nothing wrong with it flavor wise, and it is really a good deal. I've eaten here maybe 2 or 3 times a month over the last 2 years.

I appreciate the hours of operation and have certainly been in there late night. This time, I dined on a Sunday, when the Bloody Mary bar is open and you, the customer is allowed to approach and "build your own BM". I did not drink on this day, rather chose some She Crab soup. It is so creamy and wonderful, it's good for a stomach that's not so great or on a cold day. I started with an appetizer, the Fried Oysters. They were okay, too much hollandaise on them and too much breading on the oysters, but delightful still. Chose the cheeseburger, solid! I really appreciated my server who kept my sweet tea full, and when I wanted "just a bite" of a dessert, she rounded up chocolate pieces from the kitchen.

Christina K.
Love this place! Went back there last week with the boss for lunch. He had the burger which from the crumbs he left on his plate was pretty good! And i had the lump crab berry salad. The service was impeccable, always coming back at the right time, leaving us to talk long enough, etc. When she first brought out the plates, I was so happy with my salad, but once I started eating I realized that the lettuce proportion overwhelmed the berries and what little crab there was. I mean, if I'm paying more than $10 for a salad, please give me more than just fluffed up lettuce ok? I'll definitely go back cause the food is just that damn good. Just won't order the salad anymore!

After about a year of working across the street from Dantanna's I decided to finally give them a try last week. From first glance after walking in it appears that Dantanna's is an overpriced sports bar, but that is what one would expect next door to Lenox Mall. The prices here are reasonable for the area, and the service and food were great making it worth the money spent. For lunch I asked the server for her recommendations and she suggested the Rubin sandwich, so I went with that. The Rubin was delicious with it tender corn beef on marbled rye with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. The fries that came with the Rubin were just OK; would have been better if they used fresh cut fries that I was expecting from a place like this. Overall, Dantanna's provides a great meal. The food is good and the service is great. I'll be heading back over for lunch soon!

Over the years, I've passed this restaurant many times. My husband and I finally decided to give this place a try and we keep coming back for obvious reasons. We've ordered the She Crab Soup every time we come here, I think the soup is good, but my husband raves about it! I've had the Wasabi Tuna (rare) with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic spinach - very good dish. I would have really wanted more shiitake-soy glaze on my tuna, but I can live with the way they made it. One of our friends had the Braised Lamb Shank, and he said it was very good. I didn't try it because I don't like lamb. The steaks are also good here, but I've only had it with Dantanna's house dry rub, so I can't really tell you how the sauces are. Overall, our experiences are always good, and I never had a bad experience here, and the service it great, so I will be back.

Only reason I have it a 2 was the fact they their food wasn't horrid. Another reason I have them a 2 is because they gave me a beer glass with lip prints on it. I will post photo. Don't order the mussels and baked Brie together because you might think your eating the same thing. The fish and chips and burgers are just average or sub par. They do have a nice large selection of beer in bottles not on tap sadly.

Came here with some friends for drinks after work. Was greeted by a sweetheart named Bre. It was my first time coming here and she made some great suggestions for food and dessert! We ordered some drinks(whiskey,scotch) and a few appetizers. Lobster Lollipops- They were excellent Duck Braised nachos- Need I say more. These were great with loads of duck on them! Short rib stuff peppers.- always a great choice. Main course 18oz ribeye cooked perfectly Pork chop- Was huge and tasted great Venison Burger- The goat cheese was an excellent addition to this burger Dessert...Of course we got the Krispy Kream Pudding. It was pretty large which was great as the three of us shared it. The huge scoop of ice cream on top was a plus. Overall. Bre our server made it a great night. Food was excellent, but prepare to spend some money.

Giant projection screen, the bartender just assuming you want a beer refill, because you do and pouring it and a seat front and center at the bar, priceless. Dantanna's as a pure sports bar gets 5 stars, the main television is a gigantic projection screen hanging over a large bar area, 10ft screen maybe. The large screen is surrounded by multiple small screens playing every game at the moment, ADHD folks will delight in the set up. The reuben sandwich was excellent plenty of 1000 island, loaded with corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut, just a great ratio. The bartender, Steve, gets his own shout out for great service!! Good work Steve, keep the life saving stories coming.

Pretty good food. Prices seem about right for what we ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. Wait staff seemed like they didn't want us to know the specials, he had to be a speed talker because I caught about half of what he said. I would go back but nicely ask to have them talk a bit more slowly. We are in the south you know.

I can say I enjoy this place. It's nice, not too pricey, the staff is always friendly, helpful and always readily available for any quetsions or concerns. The margaritas are delicious. Their handmade mixer is by far the best I've had in a while at a restaurant! Whether we went on a good day or the bartenders are just on it, the margarita makes the trip from the 'burbs into the city well worth it! I love a rare steak and some places are leery about serving them and want to suggest a medium well steak...Uhh, I understand the health concerns, but I like a rare steak! I can get a steak the way I like it at Dantanna's. I do not smoke cigars but Honey does so we've taken a "look-see" and he has vowed to return to enjoy a cigar and cognac. I will return again, and again!

I like dantanna's, it's a good place to get dinner or drinks, nothing special. My dad would kill me if he knew I wasn't giving it 5 stars since he's basically a regular, but it's not all that spectacular in my opinion. The bar area is huge and has tons of tv's so it would definitely be a great place to watch football games with friends. It does get somewhat crowded however. The dining room area is also really good, and I like the menu. I had the seafood special of the night, I believe it was grouper, and it was really good! Our service was good too, no complaints! Bonus, huge parking lot!

Pricey for the quality of the food. Angus Burger still had some of the hoof in the meat, I spent more time extracting pieces of bone and grizzle out than enjoying the flavor. Fries were old. Beer selection was good but no draft specials. I would recommend going to another place if you have the choice.

This place is a perfect example of why I always ask hotel doormen for recommendations, versus the concierge, when I'm looking for a sports bar. This place was awesome! Nice flat screen TVs everywhere...even outside on the patio...and they were all tuned to sports. Friendly bartenders that make it a point to shake your hand and introduce themselves when you sit down at the bar, which I thought was a nice touch. Special kudos to the bartenders Rob and Tyler(?) for being attentive without being annoying...perfect service, guys! And the food was also great...always a nice perk at a sports bar, to have tasty alternatives to hot wings and potato skins. All in all, next time I'm in Atlanta for business, I will definitely be grabbing dinner and watching a game (or two) here!

Malcolm C.
For an upscale sports bar this place was terrible. The tuna with crabmeat came with no crab meat and missing the side of sweet potato mash. The manager never acknowledged the problem, just re-delivered the plate. The hamburger had over ten pieces of grizzle that I pulled out. The caesar salad came with a vinaigrette instead of the caesar dressing, effectively rendering it not a caesar salad. And to top it off...the waitress left the dessert menu and literally never returned to see if we wanted anything. A random bartender literally dropped our check off without so much as a word, and that was that. Never saw our server again. After waiting for her we just had to take our check up to the hostess. Overall very disappointing. Maybe an off-night, but most definitely not worth the money. Too many other restaurants that were are better to enjoy...don't waste your money or your time.

What's not to love about Dantanna's? Cute, friendly, personable bartenders? Check. Great food? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. I went here last night with my buddy for single ladies Valentines. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't overly packed but that all changed within an hour or so. There was about a a 70/30 split of men to women there. We sat at the bar and immediately Rob introduced himself w/ a handshake (which I thought was nice.) While we decided what we wanted 2 of the other bartenders (Eric and Tyler) came over and did the same thing. We ordered drinks (good drinks) and then dinner. I had the Wasabi Tuna w/ asparagus and mushrooms. DeLISH! It seemed to be a popular dish b/c the bartenders high-fived me when I ordered it and I saw most of the men at the bar get the same thing. My friend had the salmon. I didn't try it but she said it was great. We had the Krispy Kreme bread pudding for dessert. I must say that it is heaven on a plate but very rich so it is better if you share it. Everyone was very attentive, funny, and nice in addition to the food being great I am now a fan and will be returning.
I was so excited about "great food meets a sports bar". The food was alright and the service was terrible. I'm a waitress and understand a couple mistakes, but this was more than that. Asked me two times what bottle of wine I wanted, brought me the wrong one. 4th time got it right. Had to ask for water. Just very disappointing. Even with the cigar lounge, I was not impressed at all.

Monique B.
My friend wanted to go here for his birthday for good real food and the games was on the t.v. Well I can say the atmosphere was great however the server did not offer us the patio which I would have enjoyed and did not realized until we was walking out. The dinner was great! I had the mussels and calamari and my friend had some lobster ricotta dish that he said was awesome. His drink was an apple orchid and I had the seasonal beer which both was great. The downfall was dessert, I got it to go and I had the bread pudding which looked plain and they did not have anymore cream brulee for my friend so he had nothing. The only negative I have for the three stars is after paying almost 100.00 for dinner I had to carry my to go boxes out in my hand because the restaurant did not have any bags and the fact that they ran out of a dessert item for a 8:00 p.m. dinner was not acceptable for a Saturday night. My server Andrew was nice and recommended great options.

In response to David C. of Dantanna's. My review is valid and accurate. I did not bother to read past the first paragraph of your response to my review, because the first paragraph was so bogus, I did not see the point. Your weak attempt to disqualify or down play my review really exemplifies the character of the people working at your establishment. Maybe if you and your staff spent more time treating your customers with consideration and respect you wouldn't have to troll the review sites for bad reviews. I have other things that are way more important to do with my time than to sit online and write reviews. I was reminded of the terrible experience when I was cleaning out my wallet and saw your business card in it. I had meant to write the review much earlier but as I said, your establishment is not a priority in my life. I don't know anyone there in staff or any customers and have only been there once in my life(once too many). So you inferring that I may have an ulterior motive to my review makes absolutely no sense. As I said it was the WORST dining experience I've ever had in my life & that is not an exaggeration. I've been to places across this country and in other countries & yours was the Worst treatment I've ever gotten in my life. So instead of investigating the validity of my review, investigate and properly train your staff on proper customer service instead of giving another customer another reason to speak poorly of you. You can't honestly think people go out to places to have a bad time for the purpose of writing bad reviews-especially on a romantic holiday. Management was just as tacky and ill mannered as the staff was when dealing with the incident, so I'm not suprised at this lame response to my reiew. Work on your people skills.

I visit Atlanta about once a month on business, and this is usually my first dinner spot. So far, I haven't ordered a single item that was disappointing - I've done the Ribs, the gumbo, three of the burgers and the wings . I've come in groups and I've come alone - didn't matter - great food and exceptional service. I will say don't go on the patio if you don't like Cigars blown in your face - I made that mistake only once. But it's a Cigar place, so I can't hold that against them. I used to own a chicken wing restaurant and someone gave us a low rating once for not serving fish!?!?!? Luckily, no smoking inside, so choose your seat by preference.

Russ M.
I ate lunch here while visiting the Cigar Club next door. They have a close working relationship serving to be a really nice compliment. The server from Dantanna's came into the club to take my order and came back regularly to be certain that I was well served. I chose a salad/sandwich combo, which was very good and a great value. I can hardly wait to go back!

Adam M.
Dantannas is worth it. Although the meals can get a little pricey, I think that the quality is where it needs to be. This is not a place where I'd suggest "blowing it out," but rather a nice Thursday night spot when you dont feel like cooking. As far as being a Sports Bar, I love it. It's got a great selection of alcohol and the TV's are big and well-placed. Also, having the Cigar bar located within is a huge plus. Smoke down a stogie w/ a slice of their chocolate cake and a glass of pinot noir = heaven.

For a "sports bar", it was ok. Fish tacos are yummy, fries are horrible, mac & cheese with bacon is okay but pretty salty. I think it's a little overpriced. Service was so rude! I'll be watching March Madness at Twin Peaks from now on!

I have had drinks there many times and enjoyed watching games but not many full dinners. I triied it, I had an unflavorful salmon, bland mash potatoes, and the meal was all around very average. I was disappointed that I couldnt get something I enjoyed as much as wings or burgers or other basic bar food I expected better.

Nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather here in Atlanta. I know the heat is coming. Excellent selection of options on the menu...be it apps or entrees. The burgers looked good but went "non meat" as I ordered the "freuben". A grilled tilapia sammich. Potato salad was my side choice. Portions are big here. Tried the goat cheese app (served with Toast) also...............nothing special there. Lots to explore on the menu here.

Sometimes you can have a nice meal, hang out while friends go to the mall, and all is cool.... That is except for what may at first seem an insignificant detail. Be sure the parking lot guards see you enter the restaurant. If not, your car may be booted and you may be extorted for a $75.00 boot removal fee. Keep your receipt, and call the police. It's the only way to have the boot removed peacefully and without being robbed. Oh..... The restaurant? It's good, but why doesn't the management correct the parking problem? I don't give many bad reviews because there are a lot of very nice places we can choose from in the Atlanta area. But in the future, I'll find a place with good food and atmosphere like Dantanna's..... Without the external hassles.

Very good food, excellent help from Sean our waiter. My wife had ribeye and i had pan seared salmon and both were magnificant! We finished the evening in the cigar lounge in back but don't worry, if you don't like smoke, you can't smell it even if you sat near the door.

Have visited twice on business for dinner and pleased both times. Good service and food to match. Solo business travel means sitting at the bar, but that is a good thing at Dantannas as the bartenders are friendly and personable, taking the time to shake your hand and learn your name - great touch. Along with the friendly service, the bartenders are very knowledgeable and know the menu backwards and forwards, making for good recommendations. Favorites are the wasabi tuna, fish and chips, stuffed peppers,.and carpaccio. Flavors are spot on and dishes are fresh. All Dantannas needs to get the next star is a true signature dish.

OK FOOD, OK-GOOD SERVICE, LOUD SPORTS BAR, MID-HIGH $, NOT REALLY FAMILY DINING place -everyone ordered steak. Steaks were Ok. Nothing really spectacular. We've had better elsewhere. DH ordered an expensive wine by the glass and it was obvious it had turned as it smelled and tasted bad. Must have been opened, corked and sitting for a while. Server was good, he promptly got another bottle, opened it and poured it in front of us. Good recovery. DH goes here every few months to entertain out of town 'male' clients. DH likes this place. It really is a guy place...everything screams male bonding man cave atmosphere - menu/food items, dark interior, cigar room, a few large TVs blaring sports games (football on when we were there). I wouldn't necessarily say this was a kid/family dining place. It was next door to our Westin Hotel which was convenient. All in all it was an OK experience for our family but we wouldn't come here again as a family. Was crowded and loud on the Saturday night we were there. Lots of very young people, couples on dates, after-work drinking crowd place. I guess it's your typical uppity little overpriced Buckhead Sports Bar.

I work across the street from Dantanna's so this is a regular lunch spot for us. The patio is great for nice summer days - they open it up to the inside and also have a shaded part if you need to hide from the rays. The food is not incredible but it's solid - I typically go for a burger, wrap, or sandwich but they have nice steaks and seafood as well. The burgers are really good - I like to get a bleu cheese burger with the fries or potato salad. They have an ok draft beer selection - pretty standard with a mix of domestics and the most popular imports. (think 420, Fat Tire, Peroni, Guinness, etc.) There are TVs scattered throughout, big screens over the bar, and even the patio has TVs all the way around which is nice. Overall, this is a great lunch or dinner place - it's a great place to discuss business over lunch or to come watch a sports game. Solid food, good patio, sports, beer - try it out!

Based on some of the bad reviews, I must have come on a good night. Our waitress was very friendly. We had dinner there, had an appetizer and ordered simple foods, sandwhiches, burgers etc... so not the most expensive entrees. We were still treated nice. The food was pretty good. We'd come back if we were in Atlanta.

You're paying for the location and the name, not the food. Came here with a group after a Yellow Jackets game. The bar was hopping with people watching the UGA game. The food was good, but not worth the price. They do have a few "special" items on the menu you wouldn't find at typical sports bar. We ordered the ciopino and a freuben (fish reuben) to share, as these were highly recommended to us. The ciopino was a major disappointment. Ciopino is supposed to be a good mix of seafood in a tomato broth, it had half a lobster tail, a piece of crab leg about the size of my thumb, one shrimp and two clams. And a ton of overcooked rubbery fish (tilapia?). The broth was good but at the price I'd expect a much better variety of seafood. The freuben was ok, you really couldn't taste the fish at all, it was overpowered by the other ingredients. Sounded like a good idea on the menu, but not so much in person. Another member of our party got a burger, which was good, but comparable to a Chili's or Five Guys at a much higher price. Service was an issue. Our server was aloof, that's the only way I can describe it. She acted like she was annoyed to have our table (Maybe because only two of us ordered beers?). When the check came I put a gift card and my credit card in the book to cover the balance. I watched the server as she picked it up, to be sure the gift card didn't fall out. She rolled her eyes when she saw the gift card. Due to her reaction I kept my eye on her as she walked over to the register. . She swiped the gift card several times, then called over another server and continued to fiddle with it. After a few minutes she walked back and announced to our table (and the rest of the restaurant) "Did you mean to pay for your dinner with this? 'cause there's no money on it." I asked to speak with her manager. When the manager came over she told me, more politely, that my gift card had a zero balance and asked if I had my receipt. Um, no its a gift card, as in it was given to us, so I don't have a receipt. I pointed out to the manager that they probably don't sell people gift cards with $0 on them, so someone must used the balance at some point, right? Was there any way she could check the history so I could know what happened? She said she would look into it. About two minutes later she came back and just said "Nevermind, we're good." So, I have to think the server was not properly trained in using the gift cards, our server ran the balance, but didn't apply it, and then assumed the customer was wrong. Shouldn't the manager have checked into it before embarrassing my party? The fact that they figured it out and the food was decent netted two stars.

FOr an up scale sports bar it good. No smoke unless the patio doors are open then you not only get the cigarette smoke but you get the stinky cigar smoke that is so overwhelming and I have to move from my seat..... But when you want to watch your team play you put up with it I guess. Great wine by the glass picks and beer. The food is good, got the corn beef reuben but get the sauce on the side...trust me... the steaks are good cuts of meat but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money on a steak and suck up the cigar smoke. I'm sure I will be back when my team is on TV but not my TV...

The first time I saw this restaurant I was intrigued by the fact that all of the outdoor tables had their own personal TVs turned to different sports channels. I loved this idea and wanted to give it a try. I finally got the chance during restaurant week. However, when I went, there were no outdoor TVs. I guess they had decided to take them away. We were seated inside. Two waiters showed up, and it was too painfully obvious that one was a trainee. She asked us one simple question..."Have you dined with us before?" And after we said that it was our first time, there was a long and awkward silence. She just kind of stood there and looked at us expecting us to say something more before finally the other waiter stepped in and talked about the menu and the specials. He did a great job, but when he was done explaining and was leaving to give us a minute to look over the menu, the rookie waiter just left without having said another word. We never saw her again that night. It was really strange how that all happened. The food itself was ok, although the desserts were huge! I was only able to finish half of it, and even that was a struggle. Overall it seemed a bit pricey, and if not for restaurant week, I'm not sure I would go again anytime soon.

Overpriced and not that good. Crabcake sliders tasted ok, but so litte crab in them that I had only bread in my hands after 1.5 bites. West coast oyster selection is initially impressive but the servers don't do much to guide you to what's freshest/plumpest/best-tasting for the day. Good wine list, but don't bother asking the servers details, just ask for a taste if you want to know more - the two I approached were completely ignorant about wine and didn't want to be bothered. Lamb burger wasn't bad, but fries were gross frozen excuses for potatoes - for the price they need to put a little more effort into the food, especially given that they bill themselves as an "upscale" sports bar/gastropub. Not quite there, guys.

Came for lunch with a couple co-workers and sat outside on the patio overlooking the Lenox parking lot (yes, this is a good thing). Great customer service AND food! I got the crab & avocado sandwich and it was soooo good! The french fries that came with were also amazing. I'm taking off 1 star since I got sick to my stomach within the next hour and had to take the rest of the day off from work to hang out in my bathroom...however, the crab salad was really THAT good that i'd eat it again any day!

I've been traveling to Atlanta/Buckhead one week a month for the past 3 years for work. I usually stay at the same hotel and because its close, fairly often I go to Dantanna's for dinner. Since I am usually there alone, I sit at the bar and watch any of the sports they are showing. This place has a lot of TVs...not sure how many, but its a bunch and you can always see the TVs from your seat. This place is an up-scale sports bar. If you like sports and don't want to go to any of the many Irish themed sports pub-type, this is a good alternative. The food is decent, but not great. I've never ordered the steaks so I can't speak to that, but the burgers are decent and some of the appetizers are good (I'm partial to the baked goat cheese). The bartenders are always friendly and in fact, since I go there fairly regularly, they have gotten to know me by name. Not quite like Norm at Cheers, but its nice to be a regular at a bar 2500 miles from home. I'm sure I'll be back to Dantanna's because its close to the hotel and I can watch sports. If I lived in Atlanta I'm not certain I would go out of my way to go there.

Dantanna's has what you're looking for on any day of the week, whether you enjoy prime ribs or an awesome lump crab salad.Dantanna's has an excellent way of creating an upscale sports experience, while still feeling comfortable in watching the game. I would suggest it's the best way to either start the weekend off right or an upscale sports restaurant and bar to hit a late night. I had Sunday brunch there and it was right what I was looking for on a Sunday afternoon. They have a unique upscale brunch menu that is guaranteed to kick off your weekend as well as your favorite game. Menu selections consist of Fried Oysters Rockefeller, Shirred Eggs in Tulips with two eggs baked in crepes with Maine lobster, shrimp and crawfish, and a variety of fresh salads and brunch beverages. What I find so attractive about this place is that you can go with a group of friends after work to watch the game, step out for a date, or grab your girlfriends for lunch to play catch up.

I've been here twice Loved it the seafood is fresh and you can really taste the difference. The fried shrimp was great the portion was big. The second time I came I sat out side a lil too much smoke but I made it through the night the salmon was awesome.

Loveee Dantanna's. It's in a great location in the heart of commercial Buckhead. A great place to go after work or after shopping at Lenox. It gets minus one point however for their lack of brews on tap. It's really disappointing how small their selection is. I sadly order bottles when I come here, as they have some cool ales and Oktoberfest. Overall, I would describe this place as an upscale sports bar, because that's exactly what it is. Remove the big screens and shouting sports fans, it's like you're in a semi-fancy establishment. ;) They have some really good dessert and my favorite thing on the menu? Their crab artichoke dip. OMG. It's sooo freaking good.

Dantanna's is great for when you want to watch some sports, but you want a little nicer food/drink options than your local Taco Mac (don't get me wrong, I love me some TM, but sometimes you are just winged and burgered OUT). Watched the Falcons here a couple of weeks ago, and had a nice experience. Good parts: short ribs were awesome, wine list is always great, bartendress Gloria was fun and took good care of us. Bad parts: IT WAS FREEZING IN THERE, and no one seemed to want to do anything about it. Seriously, half the people at the bar were wearing their winter coats. Also, we needed some additional crostini things to go with our baked goat cheese app, and by the time we got them, the app was cold. Bottom line, even if there are some miscues, Dantanna's is a good place to watch sports if you need a change from the usual bar/pub scene.

This place deserves 5 stars. My only problem is that the service wasn't great last time I went. I always sit at the bar or around the bar and the service is beyond perfect. Anyways, now onto why they got the 4 stars. All the food is amazing, I'm stuck on the Organic Mediterranean Pasta. A bit pricey for sure, but a great splitting meal as it is huge. Please ask for extra sauce! You will want it. I also get a side of rolls/bread when I get it. The sauce is not heavy! It is an olive oil based sauce NOT creme based, which allows you to eat a decent size portion and not have to be rolled out. Atmosphere is amazing, lots of TVs and projectors. Location is perfect, right next to Lenox Mall. You won't be disappointed! The steaks look like their specialty so you should prob try them. I'm sure i will one day!

As soon as you walk in, on the right, there is a bar area with plenty of seating and several huge TV screens with sports playing. Pretty nice if you are there to catch some games. We ate in the sit-down section and ordered dinner. There are a couple projected TV screens in this area. They must have NBA League Pass or something because we were watching a west coast NBA game not on TNT or ESPN/ABC. We got the cajun chicken egg rolls for appetizer (excellent), my friend got the chicken and sausage gumbo soup and fish and chips, while I had the dijon-garlic hanger steak. The portions were generous and all of the food was good, although a little greasy. Service was average.

We went for Restaurant week and it was OK but not worth it. The menu selection seemed good but everything was just a little off. I had She-crab soup, a fillet with a baked potato, and chocolate pie. The she crab soup was too chowdery, you could hardly taste the sherry. The fillet was cooked to the right temperature but the cut was off, I didn't think it was a fillet at first. The chocolate pie was good though.

If you're in Butthead for a business dinner and the attendees are mostly dudes, this joint is a great option to have in your back pocket if you strike out at picking up escorts at Bluepointe or waitresses at Tavern. What? *Seriously questions whether to post that as an opening. Continues* The food here is a little above average as are prices, but it's an "upscale" sports restaurant in Buckhead. I forget the point i was going to make - probably some excuse about being slightly overpriced and how that's to be expected in this neck of the hoods. I'd also suggest Dantanna's for an after-work happy hour locale during a heavy sports season because the bar area TV situation is pretty epic. Seating is spread out stadium style so all seats have a great view of the monster projection screen and dozen or so smaller flat panels. They also project games onto some very futuristic transparent screens hanging in the dining area that so you can rest assured that you'll catch every play as you pretend to enjoy your coworkers story about that thing they did that one time. I've only actually eaten here once or twice, and while what i ate was obviously not remarkable (or else I'd be telling you what it was) that also means i wasn't largely disappointed, either. So there's that. I'm realizing now that this isn't probably a very useful review. So. Pros -TVs galore!!!!1!! -Beers -Some cute girls -Bacon (probably) Cons -You're done with work and still in Buckhead -Excessive stairs from parking lot to door require an inhaler puff Funny, at least?

Another dining choice chosen solely by proximity of how hungry one is and how close the dining establishment is (and where one's friends have migrated to after an event) So it was a perfect storm of variables that led me to a sports bar. I said prior to entering If I could see or hear a game I would walk right out. Much to my delight I didn't see or hear anything of the sort. For a Friday night it wasn't uncomfortably crowded. Clean, dark, woody and welcoming. Nice menu! Good service. The food was moderately good and the prices reasonable with a nice range if you're on a budget or want to go all out for steaks. On that note it's good for a group. My group had a good sampling of everything but desserts. The burger got raves. The salad got finished. The surf and turf was licked clean. My fried shrimp was acceptable but forgettable-and had an unpleasant heat, a flavorless heat. Lamb quesadillas were giving off oohs and ahs. I didn't try them (lamb aversion) but everyone seemed perfectly content upon leaving. I will only return if that perfect storm hits again.

I don't like giving five stars. Few things make me completely happy. (I relish giving one star reviews - but I'd rather avoid one star experiences) Somehow, nothingless than five stars at Dantanna's seems appropriate. For a place that offers itself as a sports bar, an upscale steakhouse and seafood destination, and even a cigar lounge - success just seems too unlikely. Yet it homeruns on every aspect. With plenty of HD screens, great sound, and fast bar service - Dantanna's is an exceptionally quality sports bar. And if you try to get inside on a Saturday evening, you will find a ton of folks who agree. Plus you can get one of the best burgers in town there while you enjoy the game and a pint. But even with the din, the dining room is quiet and relaxed. I am not a fan of seafood myself, but every person I bring there loves it, especially with a side of their mashed sweet potatoes. The steaks are aged and prepared magnificently, and I haven't had lamb so tasty since I was in Iceland. If you like to endulge in lighting $10 bills on fire, check out the walk in humidor of the Buckhead Cigar Club - located in back of the restaurant. They have a great selection, and a quality smoke completes the steak dinner experience. The clientele is definitely business class, but bar prices and non steak prices are pretty reasonable. And if you can afford it, business class is the only way to go.

I have since been back to this place several times and quite honestly, the food isn't all that great. Every single menu item I've tried besides the burgers and cheeseburger empanadas is really not all that special or worth mentioning. The service is still very good, they have an awesome patio and the cigar lounge in back is cool. If they could just improve the food quality and provide a better assortment of menu selections, this place could own it.

everything was closed so i decided to give this place another shot and im glad i did! they have a smaller menu selection after a given hour but their menu was decent. my friend and i ended up splitting a bunch of little plates as opposed to getting two entrees which is why i think i enjoyed the meal much more. we ordered the: - she crab cup of soup - crab fingers - wings - spinach salad w/shrimp

We had Blue Point Oysters (Some of the best I've every had.) Also had an Excellent Ruben Panini & an Amazing Pork Chop perfectly seasoned and prepared. A good place to bring a date. The menu sports a $9 burger on up to a terrific looking cut of grass fed beef at $42. Attire is business casual.

We went here for a work team dinner while in Atlanta and yum. If I end up staying in Buckhead again I will definitely come back. I ended up ordering the filet, fries, and asparagus. My biggest disappointment was I asked if the the fries were hand cut and the waiter said they were. When they came out, well, no they weren't. I would have gotten the mashed potatoes instead if I had known that...I had some coworkers get the cioppino, and man I was jealous. Usually it comes like a big stew, but here they serve it on a platter with a little broth and some linguini. And when I say platter, I mean MOUNTAIN of seafood on the 2 person serving. It was a fun time and like I said, I will definitely be back if I end up in Buckhead again. I'll just avoid the fries and get that nommy seafood.

Solid spot to watch a ball game though it's pretty packed and you have to get there early to get a good spot (or actually any spot is probably more accurate.) the food is good and I'd say it's better than typical bar food-- particularly I had a great salad with lump crab! it is more expensive than a typical sports bar but then again it is nicer/has better food...so that's what you go for!

David B.
Treat a sports bar like a sports bar. Come and order normal sports bar items...burgers, fries, simple things. I made the mistake of believing in the gourmet sports bar concept (this is a fantasy of mine). The tuna was overcooked and I could stomach only half of it. I did order it medium (maybe its my fault) but it was medium well to well done. I had a good time with friends and watched the all star baseball game. There is literally no place in the restaurant where you can't see a TV. Construction on the lower level of the building makes the appearance of the place look less than stellar, however. I will not be back.

I would never had guessed so many people would like Dantanna's so much! I suppose it reflects my general disdain for Sport's Bars. Still, however upscale it might be, the food is not the focus, IMO, and thus the overall affect is lost upon me. That said, it is swank and it has nice screen's. Can't be all bad, I suppose?

Cool grill/ high end sports bar atmosphere... The gumbo was tasty and how could I not try the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding ala mode? Thank goodness I was sharing it, or I'd have easily inhaled all 10,000 calories myself!
(3)
Osmond S.
Definitely a fan! Here's a quick list - Very interesting food. I had some strange Crab+Avacado burger which was good. But the gumbo was amazing - one of the best I've ever had. - Good prices - Waiter (Bob I think) was a really cool guy and very friendly - Good atmosphere but still very bar like - Convenient and fast. At least when I went there the service was good and I had no problems at all. Overall, I'm a fan of this place. I would love to eat here all the time, but alas I live in Chicago :( I will be back though!
Another example of how outstanding service can turn a good dining experience into a great one. I used to be a server. In spite of or perhaps because of that fact, I tend to be skeptical of servers that remind me of myself as a server - early twenties, skinny arms, that sort of thing. So I had low expectations for our young, relatively skinny-armed waitress, and she blew me away. As did the helpful attitude I sensed from all the staff at Dantanna's. First, our table for eight was waiting for us when we got there, complete with high chair. The first group of people was permitted to sit at the table before the remainder of the party arrived. I am always extremely pleased with a restaurant when I don't have to wait for stragglers. Second, the server handled the baby situation well. Without being asked, she brought the almost-two-year-old one of those disposable placemats and crayons. The baby's mom asked the server to bring her food out as soon as it was ready, and the server did so, and quite quickly too. Third, when I asked whether the fish tacos could be made without shrimp, she said she thought so but that she would ask. She immediately ran off to ask, and then returned with an affirmative answer. Score! When I asked for a box later, she offered to do it for me, and did so quickly. Fourth, she split the checks without our asking (to my knowledge no one asked), didn't make any mistakes, and was very efficient when running our credit cards. As is probably already evident, I had the fish tacos with no shrimp. They were served with two sides even though the menu suggests you only get one. I picked asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious except for, ironically, the fish. It was too... fishy. It tasted like cheap tuna, but I can't be sure. The desserts looked AMAZING, I'm going to have to go back to try them sometime.

Sports Bar = NO (by Chicago Standards), but fun place for beers, great apps and entrees = YES. We were there on a Wednesday night during the NBA Championship....arrived around 7 (game started at 8) and the restaurant was fairly empty and the bar was 1/2 full (it had been pouring rain)....got a table in the bar and the place slowly filled up. Jephreda provided excellent service through-out the night (even when really crowded) and the food was fabulous! We had the wings as an app (GREAT) and I had the filet (GREAT, GREAT, GREAT). Everyone in Atlanta says this is a sports bar = NO. ONE Big Screen, with 3 smaller screens on each side.....PLEASE come to Chicago to see a sports bar. I will give ATL props for the bar being pretty crowded for the NBA finals......but that is it.....kind of reminds me of Portland and the guys playing a board game during the Trail Blazers playoff game.... Wings HOT (2 @ 9) 18.00 420 Draft (5 @ 4.50) 22.50 Zinf Short Ribs 19.00 (Tom loved these) 420 Draft (4 @4.50) 18.00 Fish and Chips 14.00 (Tony said these were ok) Paulander (4 @ 7.25) 29.00 (excellent beer) 8 oz Filet 28.00 Total - $161.56

Ok, people always laugh at me for this- I always make this my first date place. When a guy asks for suggestions, I mention Dantanna's. Why? If the date goes horribly wrong, at least I can watch some sports in the meantime. My boyfriend and I had our first date here almost a year ago and have been back several times to reminisce. Consistently good food, a great location and an awesome first date place!

This past Sunday was my first visit to Dantanna's. It was an upscale, cool-looking sports bar with several big screen t.v.'s and a big patio. I ordered the crab and artichoke dip which was actually pretty good! Very rich and gooey...for the main course, i chose the "BCS" burger. No one can mess up a burger, right? Wrong. I was STARVING and I could barely eat 1/2 of it! I ordered it medium, but the middle was more medium rare. My entire bottom bun was soaked in meat juice! Bleh...worst than that, the meat tasted funny. I immediately remembered the "pink slime" phenomenon and promptly pushed my plate back. I probably wouldn't visit Dantanna's again and if I did, I'd stay AWAY from the beef!

This place combines sports bar with a formal surf n' turf. It's pretty unique and convenient. I would say there's slightly more business people on the road in suits here than hipsters, but in any case not your typical sports bar with tons of college kids or locals. It's good for if you want to watch sports and eat more upscale, varied dishes at the same time. Even the late menu retains a lot of the surf n' turf stuff, not just nachos and chicken strips like a lot of places. The food is okay. I hated the philly cheese steak with a passion, but it's a sentiment that I seem to have about a lot of places. The surf n turf dishes are better. Bisque is a little bland. Prices for food is actually quite reasonable consider its location and clientele. Not so reasonable was markup on beers. They carry many good bottled beers, but have a markup that's about 1.5~1.8 times as much as, say, Brick Store a.k.a. beer heaven. Of course, with a cigar lounge on the premise, you might not be drinking beer and opt for the hard stuff instead. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to smoke in a small area and the cigars are marked up badly also. Service is very good. Very comfortable environment and lots of TVs even on the patio. Proximity to prominent Buckhead places. All make up for the problems. Can't say I'm a frequent customer, that's for sure.

Guess what? It was late night on a Tuesday....found myself drinking again with friends...yeah, a Tuesday night. A good buddy and I needed a place with some atmosphere and good food. The Waffle House nearby beckoned.....I shunned it and slipped back to Dantanna's. Was my last trip there a fluke? No, it wasn't. I had another burger...it was delicious. My buddy looked at it and said, "Well, it looks like you ordered the right thing." Oh, yeah, he was right....I was happy. Good little crowd at the bar at 11:30 on a Tuesday. Nice eye candy for both sexes. Surprising note!! You can smoke in the bar late night. Nice for the smoking crowd. If you go, request Frieda....best waitress in the place. !!!

It's a nice place. As others note, often I'm alone and sit at the bar for quick service and having other people around. the bartenders here are helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't starved so I went with one of the nightly specials...Jumbo blackened scallops...I thought great....well, you need to know what Jumbo means, not the same as I've always thought....however, the flavor was great, just a little kick and tasty. But I wanted a little more so I got an order of wings....I got the habanero and mango spicy wings. The sauce was good. Make sure you get a glass of water before you start....after 3 wings it starts to hit. But I didn't ask, the wings are naked (not battered nor breaded) and they say they are deep fried, but they were more like broiled-that's not bad if you expect it. I suggest not ordering the fries...kind of soggy. Based on the scallops, I'd go back and try some of the other signature dishes.

I've been to Dantanna's several times for the bar, which has a great selection. Last night I went there for dinner for the first time and I was really let down by the food. We started with the wings which were fantastically mediocre. They bordered on dry and the sauce was bland other than just being spicy. I (for whatever reason) thought it'd be a good idea to order the Ciopinno. This was a huge mistake. First off I found 1 dead mussel and the mussels that weren't dead were certainly old as they tasted incredibly fishy. The red sauce of the Ciopinno tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed with dish water and the fish, salmon mainly, (nearly half the dish itself) was obviously old as it had gone grey. Our waitress was very nice and allowed me to order something else. I expected the manager to come to my table, but after 30 minutes I had to ask my waitress to go and get the manager. When the manager finally came, she was rude and suggested that after trying the dish herself, she could see nothing wrong with it, suggesting I was to blame for the problem. My father had a steak which was under seasoned but otherwise fine. I will say that their beer selection was quite good. Otherwise, this was a terrible experience and I won't be going back for dinner ever again. Trust me it's only good for the bar.

Visited Dantanna's last night. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Ordered calamari as the appetizer. It was a bit over fried, so a tad on the greasy side. I was disappointed in the sauces that accompanied the calamari of a cocktail sauce and spicy honey mustard or something...let's step it up a bit and offer some champagne aioli, k?! Anyways, the tables are kind of small so we didn't have much room for our 2 drinks, 2 glasses of water, these huge menus, the drink menu, the specials menu, the salt and pepper shakers and the appetizers...yea, that's a lot on a table! I order the Flank Steak Med-well...I should have ordered it Medium. I asked the waiter how they generally cook their steaks, as you know some restaurants cook more on the rare side so you'll up your temperature or more on the well side so you downgrade your temp. Either way, when I asked the waiter he didn't know what the heck I was talking about and said, oh we cook it how you order it. Ok whatever dude. The grilled asparagus was good, couldn't mess that up and the mashed sweet potatoes saved their rating from 2 stars....they were great! My date had the peppered salmon but he was talking about himself so much that he left about half of the fillet on his plate, so not sure if it was good or not.

Around the corner from my hotel (the W.) Stopped in two subsequent nights. On solo travel, I sat at the bar. The place is dimly lit, and has several mounted TV's with different games. The bartenders are professional and formal. They remember your name and give a firm handshake. Prompt service. The first night I had Wasabi Tuna, rare, with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The food came out lukewarm and I wasn't impressed with the seafood preparation. This IS Atlanta, not really a coastal seafood town. I heard good things about the wings, so I stopped in for a quick bite the next night. I opted for an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger instead, with a baked potato. This time, they redeemed themselves. The burger was delicious, and seasoned pretty well. I wouldn't say this is a good date spot, but definitely a good solo spot or place to watch a game and grab some bar food.

They have a menu more geared towards people who eat red meat and other weird things I only eat chix, fish, turkey so it was limited options for me. The place is nice and always crowded huge tv's for games. I wouldn't go back unless I was just in the area.

Really bad service, it took 10 min just to get a menu and this was a week night. I was seated in bar area so may be different at a table. I called for a manager who changed my server and then they rushed my food out. The sandwich was so-so and the manager didn't comp me anything at all. Not sure I would ever come back but if I did I would sit at the bar, not a table, then I would order a different item. Watch out, some of the items on the drink menu have incorrect prices (my whiskey was $12 not $10 like the menu said). although 2nd server was a lot better, I felt like they were rushing me out the door.

Dantanna's never gets steak wrong. They are amazing. The brunch dishes like the Eggs Dantanna Style is SO tasty! Their burgers are also really good. Great customer service and atmosphere.

After my last disappointing review of Dantanna's, I promised the proprietor that I would visit his establishment again for another try. So after work I walked over and had a very nice steak. It was cooked to perfection, medium/rare and was the best steak I have had in a while. I sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. I would recommend this place highly.

This place is nothing, if not consistent. The concept of a higher end sports bar serving a varied menu really works here. The service is good and never "in your face" to rush you, at least that's been my experience. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are staples of, well, consistency. Their dinner specials rival any of the mid-range chains such as Fleming's. I'm surprised they haven't opened other locations.

The food is worth the bill. Everything was delicious and in good portions. The wait staff was extra friendly to our two year old and kept he occupied with crayons, food, and ice-cream. I will definitely bring my out of town guest here. Plus, they turned the game to my hubby's fav team game... Did I mention how good the food is?

Ok, two of my lady friends and I went for a pamper day, at the spa in Buckhead and wanted to go for lunch to someplace we had never tried before so in checking the area using YELP, I found Dantanna's and they had 4 stars. Although getting there on a Saturday being across the street from Lenox mall was a nightmare, literally sitting 15minutes at one light, we finally made it there. It is an upscale type sportsbar with TV's and a separate dining area if you're not into watching a game during your meal. Our server was Andrew who was very polite and seated us and was more than helpful with my fidgity friend who couldn't decide what she wanted :O. We ordered the appetizer crab dip and it was the best crab dip i've had anywhere! The Fried shrimp I ordered was acceptable (I was starving) but I didnt like the tempura style batter on them that just fell off as soon as you cut the shrimp but the taste was good and my garlic mashed potatoes were AWESOME and flavorful. My friends didnt complain about their food and said it was good. Service was pretty fast also but my order came out wrong however the waiter quickly took care of the situation and made it a non-issue! So this place gets 4 stars for good food and service! I will be back, thanks Andrew! We walked in past cigar smoke which was kind of choking but it was outside and i think this is a cigar bar outdoors so won't dock them for that.

Horrible service...the food was fabulous. Waited over 25 minutes for just our drinks. Service was slow the whole time. Finally ended up getting our bills and they all wrong. They double charged us several times. Also the gave us one bill that said one amount and was charged another amount. No matter how good the food was I would not come back due to the service.

When I first walked in here I was expecting a menu with very high steakhouse prices. Imagine my surprise when I saw a nice selection of items that were in the $10-$20 price range. I ordered a burger and fries. Both were excellent. The only drawback was the wait time between placing our order and getting our food; it seemed a little too long. The waiter was kind enough to break up our bill into six individual checks. I would certainly come back here again.

I came here with my family as my youngest wanted to eat some place she could look out the window and see the Great Tree on Macy's. From the outside, we were expecting a nicer place - this is definately a sports bar - but that's our fault. Sunday night was packed with loud football fans. Despite the noise, we enjoyed the place. Wine was 1/2 off (I guess they do that every Sunday). Crab cakes had ample crab meat and the burgers were suprisingly good. Only let down was a Reuben made with fried tilapia. I love turkey Rueben's, but the tilapia just did not work. The crispy batter is soon made soggy from dressing and kraut. Service was very ample and the menu had some very interesting choices (braised duck nachos!). I would come back.

I've been coming here recently because I've been watching the NBA Finals again. My first visit here was a while back and I only came to check out the cigar room in the back. As far as that goes, it's got comfy seats, good variety of cigars and a knowledgeable manager who can recommend something if you're not an aficionado. I like the design of the bar area but be warned, during game night it's always packed. Luckily there is ample seating in the dining area although you might not get the best view of the tv's. Beer-wise, they've got the usual selection so not much to rave about there. As for the food, I'm not terribly impressed except with their mango wings. I can take a lot of heat in my food and especially love hot wings...and their mango wings are so spicy I feel like I got kicked in the nuts. Their regular wings are just so-so. All in all, I like Dantanna's. Stick to the wings and you'll be alright.

Feeling more like a man-lounge, you should still venture here for awesome burgers. And if you need to watch a sports game, consider this a classier establishment in which to view.

The WORST customer service ever. Our waiter was rude, criticized what we ordered and told us we needed to order more veggies with our dinner. Took a long time to get our drink menus when we asked about the wine they offered. Has a floss pick fly on to our table hitting our drinks and he didn't even acknowledge the fact that it happened yet everyone else saw. Horrible. If you do go, sit at the bar and avoid Milford as your server at all cost!

Great place to meet for business lunch or dinner. Surf, Turf, Cigars, and Wine. TV's are all over, so be careful if you take a date. She might catch you looking over her shoulder for the score. Sit up front to watch people in the bar which is reasonably hip and happening. Ask for a table in the back for a little more quiet. Or you can always do a stogie and cocktail on the deck...if you're into that kind of thing. Food is good but a little pricey. Service is usually superb.

I'm never disappointed by this upscale sports bar. We found it on Yelp and I'm sooo glad. It's a little pricey considering it's a sports bar, but the decor is nice, service is even better and the food speaks for itself. We ordered from the Sweethearts menu (the day before Valentine's Day) and decided on the Suft and Turf. We had 2 6oz filet mignons, lobster tail, and two sides each. We started dinner with THE MOST AMAZING She Crab Soup. It looks like your basic clam chowder but was by far the highlight of dinner. I consider myself a clam chowder connoisseur and that was the most best bowl of clam soup I've ever had. And I live in BOSTON!! Overall everything is delicious. If I could change anything it would be the prices but if that's what I have to pay for great food I'll do it.

I walked into Dantanna's last night with high hopes considering all of the great reviews I've read and heard. The Decor is great... It's upscale sports bar meets raw bar, and steakhouse. We were there for a birthday gathering of 10. With the exception of the horrendous service everything was great. Braised Lamb shanks with Blue Cheese Mash, I was in heaven as I cleaned the entire plate to the last drop of demi glace. My issues lie with the server who took at least 15 minutes for us all to get our first round, completely botched the checks at the end, and just never seemed to be around. I understand parties of several can be pressuring, but we all work in the industry and were equal left disatisfied with the service. Everyones checks were wrong, and he had to go and fix it at least 4 times before we could all be on our way. Overall though I could see the great potential in the restaurant. The food, though a bit overpriced, was all fantastic and received great reviews from everyone at the table. The place is a good mix of class and with several large screen TV's for sports fan carefully placed it could easily transform into a sports bar. I enjoyed my experience, but I would hesitate to take a large group again to the dining room. Maybe next time I'll just sit at the bar or just take only a limited amount of people. ~~~~ After dinner we entered the Buckhead Cigar Bar that can be found along the back wall of Dantanna's. Equipped with a large humidor and several people offering suggestions as well as their knowledge the experience was one to remember. Leather coaches line a narrow room with TV's surrounding each wall. A server comes to take your drink order, and you can stay as long as you want and smoke. The room is actually pretty well circulated as far as air goes, so you're not walking into hazy room of smoke. My friends ordered scotch only to find out that the restaurant/bar was out of most of what the menu had to offer. No Mac 12, or 18 as well as no Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. The birthday girl spoke earlier in the day about how all she wanted was a good scotch and a cigar. It's a friday night at a nice restaurant/bar in the middle of buckhead and you can't provide some of the most commonly requested scotch? Fortunately for me... they had my Guinness so I just smoked and tuned myself out to everything going on around me. I loved the atmosphere provided and would welcome a return visit to the cigar bar.

This place is a perfect example of why I always ask hotel doormen for recommendations, versus the concierge, when I'm looking for a sports bar. This place was awesome! Nice flat screen TVs everywhere...even outside on the patio...and they were all tuned to sports. Friendly bartenders that make it a point to shake your hand and introduce themselves when you sit down at the bar, which I thought was a nice touch. Special kudos to the bartenders Rob and Tyler(?) for being attentive without being annoying...perfect service, guys! And the food was also great...always a nice perk at a sports bar, to have tasty alternatives to hot wings and potato skins. All in all, next time I'm in Atlanta for business, I will definitely be grabbing dinner and watching a game (or two) here!
(4)Malcolm C.
For an upscale sports bar this place was terrible. The tuna with crabmeat came with no crab meat and missing the side of sweet potato mash. The manager never acknowledged the problem, just re-delivered the plate. The hamburger had over ten pieces of grizzle that I pulled out. The caesar salad came with a vinaigrette instead of the caesar dressing, effectively rendering it not a caesar salad. And to top it off...the waitress left the dessert menu and literally never returned to see if we wanted anything. A random bartender literally dropped our check off without so much as a word, and that was that. Never saw our server again. After waiting for her we just had to take our check up to the hostess. Overall very disappointing. Maybe an off-night, but most definitely not worth the money. Too many other restaurants that were are better to enjoy...don't waste your money or your time.

What's not to love about Dantanna's? Cute, friendly, personable bartenders? Check. Great food? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. I went here last night with my buddy for single ladies Valentines. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't overly packed but that all changed within an hour or so. There was about a a 70/30 split of men to women there. We sat at the bar and immediately Rob introduced himself w/ a handshake (which I thought was nice.) While we decided what we wanted 2 of the other bartenders (Eric and Tyler) came over and did the same thing. We ordered drinks (good drinks) and then dinner. I had the Wasabi Tuna w/ asparagus and mushrooms. DeLISH! It seemed to be a popular dish b/c the bartenders high-fived me when I ordered it and I saw most of the men at the bar get the same thing. My friend had the salmon. I didn't try it but she said it was great. We had the Krispy Kreme bread pudding for dessert. I must say that it is heaven on a plate but very rich so it is better if you share it. Everyone was very attentive, funny, and nice in addition to the food being great I am now a fan and will be returning.
(5)Feltonya F.
This place is pretty good. I usually end up making a meal of 2 or 3 appetizers (oysters Rockefeller & goat cheese with marinara) Lol I've yet to actually have ordered an entrée.
(3)Victoria H.
I was so excited about "great food meets a sports bar". The food was alright and the service was terrible. I'm a waitress and understand a couple mistakes, but this was more than that. Asked me two times what bottle of wine I wanted, brought me the wrong one. 4th time got it right. Had to ask for water. Just very disappointing. Even with the cigar lounge, I was not impressed at all.
(2)Monique B.
My friend wanted to go here for his birthday for good real food and the games was on the t.v. Well I can say the atmosphere was great however the server did not offer us the patio which I would have enjoyed and did not realized until we was walking out. The dinner was great! I had the mussels and calamari and my friend had some lobster ricotta dish that he said was awesome. His drink was an apple orchid and I had the seasonal beer which both was great. The downfall was dessert, I got it to go and I had the bread pudding which looked plain and they did not have anymore cream brulee for my friend so he had nothing. The only negative I have for the three stars is after paying almost 100.00 for dinner I had to carry my to go boxes out in my hand because the restaurant did not have any bags and the fact that they ran out of a dessert item for a 8:00 p.m. dinner was not acceptable for a Saturday night. My server Andrew was nice and recommended great options.
(3)Zen I.
In response to David C. of Dantanna's. My review is valid and accurate. I did not bother to read past the first paragraph of your response to my review, because the first paragraph was so bogus, I did not see the point. Your weak attempt to disqualify or down play my review really exemplifies the character of the people working at your establishment. Maybe if you and your staff spent more time treating your customers with consideration and respect you wouldn't have to troll the review sites for bad reviews. I have other things that are way more important to do with my time than to sit online and write reviews. I was reminded of the terrible experience when I was cleaning out my wallet and saw your business card in it. I had meant to write the review much earlier but as I said, your establishment is not a priority in my life. I don't know anyone there in staff or any customers and have only been there once in my life(once too many). So you inferring that I may have an ulterior motive to my review makes absolutely no sense. As I said it was the WORST dining experience I've ever had in my life & that is not an exaggeration. I've been to places across this country and in other countries & yours was the Worst treatment I've ever gotten in my life. So instead of investigating the validity of my review, investigate and properly train your staff on proper customer service instead of giving another customer another reason to speak poorly of you. You can't honestly think people go out to places to have a bad time for the purpose of writing bad reviews-especially on a romantic holiday. Management was just as tacky and ill mannered as the staff was when dealing with the incident, so I'm not suprised at this lame response to my reiew. Work on your people skills.
(1)Michael W D.
I visit Atlanta about once a month on business, and this is usually my first dinner spot. So far, I haven't ordered a single item that was disappointing - I've done the Ribs, the gumbo, three of the burgers and the wings . I've come in groups and I've come alone - didn't matter - great food and exceptional service. I will say don't go on the patio if you don't like Cigars blown in your face - I made that mistake only once. But it's a Cigar place, so I can't hold that against them. I used to own a chicken wing restaurant and someone gave us a low rating once for not serving fish!?!?!? Luckily, no smoking inside, so choose your seat by preference.
(5)Russ M.
I ate lunch here while visiting the Cigar Club next door. They have a close working relationship serving to be a really nice compliment. The server from Dantanna's came into the club to take my order and came back regularly to be certain that I was well served. I chose a salad/sandwich combo, which was very good and a great value. I can hardly wait to go back!
(4)Adam M.
Dantannas is worth it. Although the meals can get a little pricey, I think that the quality is where it needs to be. This is not a place where I'd suggest "blowing it out," but rather a nice Thursday night spot when you dont feel like cooking. As far as being a Sports Bar, I love it. It's got a great selection of alcohol and the TV's are big and well-placed. Also, having the Cigar bar located within is a huge plus. Smoke down a stogie w/ a slice of their chocolate cake and a glass of pinot noir = heaven.
(4)Claudia M.
For a "sports bar", it was ok. Fish tacos are yummy, fries are horrible, mac & cheese with bacon is okay but pretty salty. I think it's a little overpriced. Service was so rude! I'll be watching March Madness at Twin Peaks from now on!
(2)Taylor F.
I have had drinks there many times and enjoyed watching games but not many full dinners. I triied it, I had an unflavorful salmon, bland mash potatoes, and the meal was all around very average. I was disappointed that I couldnt get something I enjoyed as much as wings or burgers or other basic bar food I expected better.
(2)Curt L.
Nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather here in Atlanta. I know the heat is coming. Excellent selection of options on the menu...be it apps or entrees. The burgers looked good but went "non meat" as I ordered the "freuben". A grilled tilapia sammich. Potato salad was my side choice. Portions are big here. Tried the goat cheese app (served with Toast) also...............nothing special there. Lots to explore on the menu here.
(4)Rob O.
Sometimes you can have a nice meal, hang out while friends go to the mall, and all is cool.... That is except for what may at first seem an insignificant detail. Be sure the parking lot guards see you enter the restaurant. If not, your car may be booted and you may be extorted for a $75.00 boot removal fee. Keep your receipt, and call the police. It's the only way to have the boot removed peacefully and without being robbed. Oh..... The restaurant? It's good, but why doesn't the management correct the parking problem? I don't give many bad reviews because there are a lot of very nice places we can choose from in the Atlanta area. But in the future, I'll find a place with good food and atmosphere like Dantanna's..... Without the external hassles.
(1)Stephen B.
Very good food, excellent help from Sean our waiter. My wife had ribeye and i had pan seared salmon and both were magnificant! We finished the evening in the cigar lounge in back but don't worry, if you don't like smoke, you can't smell it even if you sat near the door.
(5)Eric M.
Have visited twice on business for dinner and pleased both times. Good service and food to match. Solo business travel means sitting at the bar, but that is a good thing at Dantannas as the bartenders are friendly and personable, taking the time to shake your hand and learn your name - great touch. Along with the friendly service, the bartenders are very knowledgeable and know the menu backwards and forwards, making for good recommendations. Favorites are the wasabi tuna, fish and chips, stuffed peppers,.and carpaccio. Flavors are spot on and dishes are fresh. All Dantannas needs to get the next star is a true signature dish.

OK FOOD, OK-GOOD SERVICE, LOUD SPORTS BAR, MID-HIGH $, NOT REALLY FAMILY DINING place -everyone ordered steak. Steaks were Ok. Nothing really spectacular. We've had better elsewhere. DH ordered an expensive wine by the glass and it was obvious it had turned as it smelled and tasted bad. Must have been opened, corked and sitting for a while. Server was good, he promptly got another bottle, opened it and poured it in front of us. Good recovery. DH goes here every few months to entertain out of town 'male' clients. DH likes this place. It really is a guy place...everything screams male bonding man cave atmosphere - menu/food items, dark interior, cigar room, a few large TVs blaring sports games (football on when we were there). I wouldn't necessarily say this was a kid/family dining place. It was next door to our Westin Hotel which was convenient. All in all it was an OK experience for our family but we wouldn't come here again as a family. Was crowded and loud on the Saturday night we were there. Lots of very young people, couples on dates, after-work drinking crowd place. I guess it's your typical uppity little overpriced Buckhead Sports Bar.
(2)Jeremy H.
I work across the street from Dantanna's so this is a regular lunch spot for us. The patio is great for nice summer days - they open it up to the inside and also have a shaded part if you need to hide from the rays. The food is not incredible but it's solid - I typically go for a burger, wrap, or sandwich but they have nice steaks and seafood as well. The burgers are really good - I like to get a bleu cheese burger with the fries or potato salad. They have an ok draft beer selection - pretty standard with a mix of domestics and the most popular imports. (think 420, Fat Tire, Peroni, Guinness, etc.) There are TVs scattered throughout, big screens over the bar, and even the patio has TVs all the way around which is nice. Overall, this is a great lunch or dinner place - it's a great place to discuss business over lunch or to come watch a sports game. Solid food, good patio, sports, beer - try it out!
(4)Jane M.
Based on some of the bad reviews, I must have come on a good night. Our waitress was very friendly. We had dinner there, had an appetizer and ordered simple foods, sandwhiches, burgers etc... so not the most expensive entrees. We were still treated nice. The food was pretty good. We'd come back if we were in Atlanta.
(4)Lee M.
You're paying for the location and the name, not the food. Came here with a group after a Yellow Jackets game. The bar was hopping with people watching the UGA game. The food was good, but not worth the price. They do have a few "special" items on the menu you wouldn't find at typical sports bar. We ordered the ciopino and a freuben (fish reuben) to share, as these were highly recommended to us. The ciopino was a major disappointment. Ciopino is supposed to be a good mix of seafood in a tomato broth, it had half a lobster tail, a piece of crab leg about the size of my thumb, one shrimp and two clams. And a ton of overcooked rubbery fish (tilapia?). The broth was good but at the price I'd expect a much better variety of seafood. The freuben was ok, you really couldn't taste the fish at all, it was overpowered by the other ingredients. Sounded like a good idea on the menu, but not so much in person. Another member of our party got a burger, which was good, but comparable to a Chili's or Five Guys at a much higher price. Service was an issue. Our server was aloof, that's the only way I can describe it. She acted like she was annoyed to have our table (Maybe because only two of us ordered beers?). When the check came I put a gift card and my credit card in the book to cover the balance. I watched the server as she picked it up, to be sure the gift card didn't fall out. She rolled her eyes when she saw the gift card. Due to her reaction I kept my eye on her as she walked over to the register. . She swiped the gift card several times, then called over another server and continued to fiddle with it. After a few minutes she walked back and announced to our table (and the rest of the restaurant) "Did you mean to pay for your dinner with this? 'cause there's no money on it." I asked to speak with her manager. When the manager came over she told me, more politely, that my gift card had a zero balance and asked if I had my receipt. Um, no its a gift card, as in it was given to us, so I don't have a receipt. I pointed out to the manager that they probably don't sell people gift cards with $0 on them, so someone must used the balance at some point, right? Was there any way she could check the history so I could know what happened? She said she would look into it. About two minutes later she came back and just said "Nevermind, we're good." So, I have to think the server was not properly trained in using the gift cards, our server ran the balance, but didn't apply it, and then assumed the customer was wrong. Shouldn't the manager have checked into it before embarrassing my party? The fact that they figured it out and the food was decent netted two stars.
(2)Eatoutatlanta E.
FOr an up scale sports bar it good. No smoke unless the patio doors are open then you not only get the cigarette smoke but you get the stinky cigar smoke that is so overwhelming and I have to move from my seat..... But when you want to watch your team play you put up with it I guess. Great wine by the glass picks and beer. The food is good, got the corn beef reuben but get the sauce on the side...trust me... the steaks are good cuts of meat but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money on a steak and suck up the cigar smoke. I'm sure I will be back when my team is on TV but not my TV...
(3)Henry T.
The first time I saw this restaurant I was intrigued by the fact that all of the outdoor tables had their own personal TVs turned to different sports channels. I loved this idea and wanted to give it a try. I finally got the chance during restaurant week. However, when I went, there were no outdoor TVs. I guess they had decided to take them away. We were seated inside. Two waiters showed up, and it was too painfully obvious that one was a trainee. She asked us one simple question..."Have you dined with us before?" And after we said that it was our first time, there was a long and awkward silence. She just kind of stood there and looked at us expecting us to say something more before finally the other waiter stepped in and talked about the menu and the specials. He did a great job, but when he was done explaining and was leaving to give us a minute to look over the menu, the rookie waiter just left without having said another word. We never saw her again that night. It was really strange how that all happened. The food itself was ok, although the desserts were huge! I was only able to finish half of it, and even that was a struggle. Overall it seemed a bit pricey, and if not for restaurant week, I'm not sure I would go again anytime soon.
(3)Kathy H.
Overpriced and not that good. Crabcake sliders tasted ok, but so litte crab in them that I had only bread in my hands after 1.5 bites. West coast oyster selection is initially impressive but the servers don't do much to guide you to what's freshest/plumpest/best-tasting for the day. Good wine list, but don't bother asking the servers details, just ask for a taste if you want to know more - the two I approached were completely ignorant about wine and didn't want to be bothered. Lamb burger wasn't bad, but fries were gross frozen excuses for potatoes - for the price they need to put a little more effort into the food, especially given that they bill themselves as an "upscale" sports bar/gastropub. Not quite there, guys.
(2)Amaryllia L.
Came for lunch with a couple co-workers and sat outside on the patio overlooking the Lenox parking lot (yes, this is a good thing). Great customer service AND food! I got the crab & avocado sandwich and it was soooo good! The french fries that came with were also amazing. I'm taking off 1 star since I got sick to my stomach within the next hour and had to take the rest of the day off from work to hang out in my bathroom...however, the crab salad was really THAT good that i'd eat it again any day!
(4)Genevieve M.
Asked if the veggie burger was house-made... server said it was. However, I received a perfectly shaped, ubiquitous gluten, previously frozen hockey puck . So gross and overpriced.
(1)Shavonn B.
Great service as always! Food is excellent as always. One of my favorite dinner spots!
(5)Mike S.
I've been traveling to Atlanta/Buckhead one week a month for the past 3 years for work. I usually stay at the same hotel and because its close, fairly often I go to Dantanna's for dinner. Since I am usually there alone, I sit at the bar and watch any of the sports they are showing. This place has a lot of TVs...not sure how many, but its a bunch and you can always see the TVs from your seat. This place is an up-scale sports bar. If you like sports and don't want to go to any of the many Irish themed sports pub-type, this is a good alternative. The food is decent, but not great. I've never ordered the steaks so I can't speak to that, but the burgers are decent and some of the appetizers are good (I'm partial to the baked goat cheese). The bartenders are always friendly and in fact, since I go there fairly regularly, they have gotten to know me by name. Not quite like Norm at Cheers, but its nice to be a regular at a bar 2500 miles from home. I'm sure I'll be back to Dantanna's because its close to the hotel and I can watch sports. If I lived in Atlanta I'm not certain I would go out of my way to go there.

Dantanna's has what you're looking for on any day of the week, whether you enjoy prime ribs or an awesome lump crab salad.Dantanna's has an excellent way of creating an upscale sports experience, while still feeling comfortable in watching the game. I would suggest it's the best way to either start the weekend off right or an upscale sports restaurant and bar to hit a late night. I had Sunday brunch there and it was right what I was looking for on a Sunday afternoon. They have a unique upscale brunch menu that is guaranteed to kick off your weekend as well as your favorite game. Menu selections consist of Fried Oysters Rockefeller, Shirred Eggs in Tulips with two eggs baked in crepes with Maine lobster, shrimp and crawfish, and a variety of fresh salads and brunch beverages. What I find so attractive about this place is that you can go with a group of friends after work to watch the game, step out for a date, or grab your girlfriends for lunch to play catch up.

I've been here twice Loved it the seafood is fresh and you can really taste the difference. The fried shrimp was great the portion was big. The second time I came I sat out side a lil too much smoke but I made it through the night the salmon was awesome.

Loveee Dantanna's. It's in a great location in the heart of commercial Buckhead. A great place to go after work or after shopping at Lenox. It gets minus one point however for their lack of brews on tap. It's really disappointing how small their selection is. I sadly order bottles when I come here, as they have some cool ales and Oktoberfest. Overall, I would describe this place as an upscale sports bar, because that's exactly what it is. Remove the big screens and shouting sports fans, it's like you're in a semi-fancy establishment. ;) They have some really good dessert and my favorite thing on the menu? Their crab artichoke dip. OMG. It's sooo freaking good.

Dantanna's is great for when you want to watch some sports, but you want a little nicer food/drink options than your local Taco Mac (don't get me wrong, I love me some TM, but sometimes you are just winged and burgered OUT). Watched the Falcons here a couple of weeks ago, and had a nice experience. Good parts: short ribs were awesome, wine list is always great, bartendress Gloria was fun and took good care of us. Bad parts: IT WAS FREEZING IN THERE, and no one seemed to want to do anything about it. Seriously, half the people at the bar were wearing their winter coats. Also, we needed some additional crostini things to go with our baked goat cheese app, and by the time we got them, the app was cold. Bottom line, even if there are some miscues, Dantanna's is a good place to watch sports if you need a change from the usual bar/pub scene.

This place deserves 5 stars. My only problem is that the service wasn't great last time I went. I always sit at the bar or around the bar and the service is beyond perfect. Anyways, now onto why they got the 4 stars. All the food is amazing, I'm stuck on the Organic Mediterranean Pasta. A bit pricey for sure, but a great splitting meal as it is huge. Please ask for extra sauce! You will want it. I also get a side of rolls/bread when I get it. The sauce is not heavy! It is an olive oil based sauce NOT creme based, which allows you to eat a decent size portion and not have to be rolled out. Atmosphere is amazing, lots of TVs and projectors. Location is perfect, right next to Lenox Mall. You won't be disappointed! The steaks look like their specialty so you should prob try them. I'm sure i will one day!
(4)Daniel B.
As soon as you walk in, on the right, there is a bar area with plenty of seating and several huge TV screens with sports playing. Pretty nice if you are there to catch some games. We ate in the sit-down section and ordered dinner. There are a couple projected TV screens in this area. They must have NBA League Pass or something because we were watching a west coast NBA game not on TNT or ESPN/ABC. We got the cajun chicken egg rolls for appetizer (excellent), my friend got the chicken and sausage gumbo soup and fish and chips, while I had the dijon-garlic hanger steak. The portions were generous and all of the food was good, although a little greasy. Service was average.
(3)Christine U.
We went for Restaurant week and it was OK but not worth it. The menu selection seemed good but everything was just a little off. I had She-crab soup, a fillet with a baked potato, and chocolate pie. The she crab soup was too chowdery, you could hardly taste the sherry. The fillet was cooked to the right temperature but the cut was off, I didn't think it was a fillet at first. The chocolate pie was good though.

If you're in Butthead for a business dinner and the attendees are mostly dudes, this joint is a great option to have in your back pocket if you strike out at picking up escorts at Bluepointe or waitresses at Tavern. What? *Seriously questions whether to post that as an opening. Continues* The food here is a little above average as are prices, but it's an "upscale" sports restaurant in Buckhead. I forget the point i was going to make - probably some excuse about being slightly overpriced and how that's to be expected in this neck of the hoods. I'd also suggest Dantanna's for an after-work happy hour locale during a heavy sports season because the bar area TV situation is pretty epic. Seating is spread out stadium style so all seats have a great view of the monster projection screen and dozen or so smaller flat panels. They also project games onto some very futuristic transparent screens hanging in the dining area that so you can rest assured that you'll catch every play as you pretend to enjoy your coworkers story about that thing they did that one time. I've only actually eaten here once or twice, and while what i ate was obviously not remarkable (or else I'd be telling you what it was) that also means i wasn't largely disappointed, either. So there's that. I'm realizing now that this isn't probably a very useful review. So. Pros -TVs galore!!!!1!! -Beers -Some cute girls -Bacon (probably) Cons -You're done with work and still in Buckhead -Excessive stairs from parking lot to door require an inhaler puff Funny, at least?
(4)Tressy M.
GREAT daily specials! Loved the Jimmy Burger!!!! The Cab Sauv wine was terrible.

Another dining choice chosen solely by proximity of how hungry one is and how close the dining establishment is (and where one's friends have migrated to after an event) So it was a perfect storm of variables that led me to a sports bar. I said prior to entering If I could see or hear a game I would walk right out. Much to my delight I didn't see or hear anything of the sort. For a Friday night it wasn't uncomfortably crowded. Clean, dark, woody and welcoming. Nice menu! Good service. The food was moderately good and the prices reasonable with a nice range if you're on a budget or want to go all out for steaks. On that note it's good for a group. My group had a good sampling of everything but desserts. The burger got raves. The salad got finished. The surf and turf was licked clean. My fried shrimp was acceptable but forgettable-and had an unpleasant heat, a flavorless heat. Lamb quesadillas were giving off oohs and ahs. I didn't try them (lamb aversion) but everyone seemed perfectly content upon leaving. I will only return if that perfect storm hits again.

Happy to have moved the office to Buckhead! so many new places to hangout at! This is gonna be one of them! Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Incredible Humidor and selection of Cigars! Lunch soup Beef something and half sandwich Avocado and Crab Excellent! Service was a little off today but all in all a go to spot! Short walk from the office!

I don't like giving five stars. Few things make me completely happy. (I relish giving one star reviews - but I'd rather avoid one star experiences) Somehow, nothingless than five stars at Dantanna's seems appropriate. For a place that offers itself as a sports bar, an upscale steakhouse and seafood destination, and even a cigar lounge - success just seems too unlikely. Yet it homeruns on every aspect. With plenty of HD screens, great sound, and fast bar service - Dantanna's is an exceptionally quality sports bar. And if you try to get inside on a Saturday evening, you will find a ton of folks who agree. Plus you can get one of the best burgers in town there while you enjoy the game and a pint. But even with the din, the dining room is quiet and relaxed. I am not a fan of seafood myself, but every person I bring there loves it, especially with a side of their mashed sweet potatoes. The steaks are aged and prepared magnificently, and I haven't had lamb so tasty since I was in Iceland. If you like to endulge in lighting $10 bills on fire, check out the walk in humidor of the Buckhead Cigar Club - located in back of the restaurant. They have a great selection, and a quality smoke completes the steak dinner experience. The clientele is definitely business class, but bar prices and non steak prices are pretty reasonable. And if you can afford it, business class is the only way to go.
(5)Joe H.
20 employees / 10 customers -- nice folks, but this place must be a tax right- off... 20 min plus for 1 doz oysters. Cool music... Go to Steamhouse for oysters
(2)Adam C.
I have since been back to this place several times and quite honestly, the food isn't all that great. Every single menu item I've tried besides the burgers and cheeseburger empanadas is really not all that special or worth mentioning. The service is still very good, they have an awesome patio and the cigar lounge in back is cool. If they could just improve the food quality and provide a better assortment of menu selections, this place could own it.
(2)David T.
Watched the ND vs. UCONN ladies basketball tournament game on their patio, and it turned out to be a good choice. The cheeseburger was excellent, the Reuben looked good, and the PBR was the perfect finishing touch. Plus the service was excellent!!
(4)Jen S.
everything was closed so i decided to give this place another shot and im glad i did! they have a smaller menu selection after a given hour but their menu was decent. my friend and i ended up splitting a bunch of little plates as opposed to getting two entrees which is why i think i enjoyed the meal much more. we ordered the: - she crab cup of soup - crab fingers - wings - spinach salad w/shrimp
(3)Mrs L.
We had Blue Point Oysters (Some of the best I've every had.) Also had an Excellent Ruben Panini & an Amazing Pork Chop perfectly seasoned and prepared. A good place to bring a date. The menu sports a $9 burger on up to a terrific looking cut of grass fed beef at $42. Attire is business casual.
(4)Stephanie H.
We went here for a work team dinner while in Atlanta and yum. If I end up staying in Buckhead again I will definitely come back. I ended up ordering the filet, fries, and asparagus. My biggest disappointment was I asked if the the fries were hand cut and the waiter said they were. When they came out, well, no they weren't. I would have gotten the mashed potatoes instead if I had known that...I had some coworkers get the cioppino, and man I was jealous. Usually it comes like a big stew, but here they serve it on a platter with a little broth and some linguini. And when I say platter, I mean MOUNTAIN of seafood on the 2 person serving. It was a fun time and like I said, I will definitely be back if I end up in Buckhead again. I'll just avoid the fries and get that nommy seafood.
(5)Lauren M.
Solid spot to watch a ball game though it's pretty packed and you have to get there early to get a good spot (or actually any spot is probably more accurate.) the food is good and I'd say it's better than typical bar food-- particularly I had a great salad with lump crab! it is more expensive than a typical sports bar but then again it is nicer/has better food...so that's what you go for!
(3)David B.
Treat a sports bar like a sports bar. Come and order normal sports bar items...burgers, fries, simple things. I made the mistake of believing in the gourmet sports bar concept (this is a fantasy of mine). The tuna was overcooked and I could stomach only half of it. I did order it medium (maybe its my fault) but it was medium well to well done. I had a good time with friends and watched the all star baseball game. There is literally no place in the restaurant where you can't see a TV. Construction on the lower level of the building makes the appearance of the place look less than stellar, however. I will not be back.
(3)Ferdinand H.
I would never had guessed so many people would like Dantanna's so much! I suppose it reflects my general disdain for Sport's Bars. Still, however upscale it might be, the food is not the focus, IMO, and thus the overall affect is lost upon me. That said, it is swank and it has nice screen's. Can't be all bad, I suppose?
(2)Mitzi T.
Cool grill/ high end sports bar atmosphere... The gumbo was tasty and how could I not try the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding ala mode? Thank goodness I was sharing it, or I'd have easily inhaled all 10,000 calories myself!
(3)Osmond S.
Definitely a fan! Here's a quick list - Very interesting food. I had some strange Crab+Avacado burger which was good. But the gumbo was amazing - one of the best I've ever had. - Good prices - Waiter (Bob I think) was a really cool guy and very friendly - Good atmosphere but still very bar like - Convenient and fast. At least when I went there the service was good and I had no problems at all. Overall, I'm a fan of this place. I would love to eat here all the time, but alas I live in Chicago :( I will be back though!
(4)Tiffany F.
Great place food is good and reasonable. I had the pan seared trout it was scrumptious!
(5)Traci M.
I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment for my Uncles birthday. Long story short we all had a lovely time, the food and service provided by Aisha was amazing and we will be returning
(5)Tunicia W.
We went here for my mom's birthday because she used to talk about this place all the time. I told her I picked it because I thought it was one of her favorite places. She said "it is?" jeesh...ok on to the review. They must have had a special section for birthdays this particular evening because literally the table in front of us and behind us was celebrating birthdays. Anyhoo, our server, I believe his name was Dante, was very nice an efficient. He gave us suggestions on appetizers, such as the crab fingers. Those were DIVINE. Also, the cajun chicken egg rolls were great as well. For our entrees, people around the table had salmon (which is what I normally get and don't know why i didn't get it this time), key west chicken wings, sweet potato (my mom had this together as her entree), and the springer mountain organic chicken sandwich (my entree). People that had the salmon at the table said it was really good. The key west wings didn't have much taste to them. My sandwich was okay, nothing really to write home about. It could have used something else-a different seasoning, mustard, something. Since it was my mom's birthday they brought out the krispy kreme bread pudding as her birthday dessert. It's funny, it took me forever to figure out that the bread pudding was made from krispy kreme donuts! It was delicious and served with ice cream. All in all our visit was great. Oh yeah the elevator on the outside was not working. Bad if people in your party are handicapped.

Went in for brunch today with a dear friend and even though the weather was beautiful and a bit chilly, we decided to sit out on the patio with the heaters for a change of scenery. The service was better than the last time I came even though the waitress was a bit slow at times. I will say that even though she was slow, she explained where the delays in service was coming from so that made things better. We started with the Cajun chicken egg rolls, rosa mimosas, and the oysters Rockefeller...which was all pretty good. I decided to get the grilled chicken ceaser wrap and was unimpressed. My friends had the beer battered shrimp and was unimpressed as well. We probably could've just stuck with the appetizers and been fine. Decent food. Nothing that spectacular.
(3)Tiff H.
I finally got the chance to come here outside of Happy Hour when our team took the admin out for National Administrative Assistant Day. It was relatively busy during lunch, and we ordered quickly, although the server wasn't as quick. We ordered a dozen oysters to share around the table. It was my first raw oyster, and I just couldn't stand it. I'll have to try them again one day but the fishiness really got to me. I ordered the crab cake sliders, which came with two mini crab cake sandwiches. Hit the spot, and cleansed my palette after eating that raw oyster... It came with a side of fries, as well as small tins of Cajun tartar sauce and ketchup. The malt vinegar slaw over the crab cake paired well. I would come here again if I could afford these high prices for pub food... And if service were a little quicker (lunch on a weekday should always be more in and out).
(3)Ed C.
I ate here this evening during a monthly visit to Atlanta while staying at The Westin at Buckhead (it's right next door). This place is a great find and, in my opinion, the quality of food is better than the ridiculously overrated Palm restaurant I ate at last month in the lobby of the same hotel. I had the grilled salmon which, for once, was cooked perfectly along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. While it's hidden from Peachtree Street itself with being at the rear of the hotel it's well worth spending an extra minute or two navigating the busy traffic of Lenox Square situated across the street to make your way here. While I didn't sit outside this time (just a bit too warm) hopefully I'll get a chance to try that out next time. Summary: for the price of a full entree at a generic overplayed chain restaurant you could have a delicious meal here. The service staff is top notch too.
(5)Karin G.
I enjoyed a nice dinner on the patio with some fellow conference-goers. Great location next to the convention center and sports venues. I really enjoyed the Lump Crab and Fresh Berry Salad! It hit the spot and the restaurant gets their seafood fresh, flown in every couple of days. I can't remember the name of it, but they had a great local beer on tap - something Blue Ale? Would have been nice to have the fans on outside, but enjoyed it overall. The service was a bit slow, but I live in the midwest where everything go go go!
(4)Kenitra M.
I went here this past weekend and had the egg rolls. It was very good. My only con was the lightening, it was sort of dark, but our server was one of the best I have had in a long time. We never had to look twice for him, he was always checking in on us. Not sure of his name, however he did tell me he had been there for 8 years.
(4)Shivani S.
The best food in Buck Head! I love the pepper Salmon. The food was fresh and delicious! The friendly helpful staff and great price will keep me going back for more! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and nice ambiance!
(5)Kathleen A.
This place is a fantastic sports bar. I came here with a couple of co-workers while in town for a conference. I did not know what to expect but was impressed the moment we walked up. The outdoor seating has TVs set up so you can dine outside and catch up on sports. Who doesn't want to do that? It was a little warm outside so we decided to venture indoors for dinner. I had booked a reservation and the host happily sat us at our table. He was really nice and made us feel welcome. Our waitress Tess was super friendly and helpful. She let me ask tons of questions and answered everyone of them which led me to ordering one of the best salads I have had in a really long time. Thank you Tess! I ordered the "scheel" aka Dantanna's wedge with grilled Buffalo chicken. Buffalo sauce is one of my most favorite things in the world so when I see it on the menu in a form other than wings, it makes me very happy! The sauce was pretty spicy and was cooled down nicely with the blue cheese. I added some avocado because I am a California girl and that's what we do! We also ordered a side of the bacon braised kale for the table. It was cooked perfectly and did not have the bitter aftertaste I sometimes get at some of the restaurants back home. There is also a cigar lounge in the restaurant. I am not a connoisseur by any means, but my friend is and he said there was a nice selection and the set up was good for chilling out, watching sports and smoking a cigar. I will definitely be back next time I am in town!
(5)Liz H.
A few girlfriends and I sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. Great bartenders, great food, and very attentive service. The manager Rob was awesome! I will be back again soon!
(5)Jose P.
Food consistently misses the mark here... BCS burger - order medium and it was cold and raw in the center. Terrible. Blue crab appetizer - Crab tasted like fish - terrible. Oysters - Some tasted funny, next day my stomach was upset. Overall don't order any seafood here, it's not good and doesn't taste fresh to me. Stick to the basics that you can cook at home. CONS: - Food is overpriced for what you get. - Service is below average. - Wait staff is not easy on the eyes. PROS: Great atmosphere
(3)Sheek T.
We came in on a Friday around 7 or so. There was alot of people in there but we were seated quickly. Service was good. we got the egg rolls, the hushpuppies and the Frueben which were all great! the blue cheese mashed potatoes has a very strong blue cheese flavor but still good. I'd go back.
(4)Ashana G.
Spending $100 at this restaurant just was NOT worth it. I've had better steak at a Mexican restaurant. I was told by a close friend that this place had really good wings for appetizers but it wasn't worth it at all. There are way better places to eat in Atlanta! Don't waste your time here! Oh and also I'd like to add the management will pretend to send you gift cards if you make a complaint on yelp, but you will not receive anything, it's just them trying to tell you not to write a review on them.
(1)Rihan K.
Great spot to go watch a sporting event, I want here for NBA Finals game it was packed. There food is also good, service was great. I had a burger it was amazing, there fries are also good. Overall a great spot I will be back here in the future when I am in. Atlanta
(4)Little D.
I don't usually write reviews but I think this one should be shared. I went to Dantanna's one night for a couple of drinks with a friend. The next day, I realized my debit card was missing. I knew that Dantanna's was the only place I had been using it so I called to see if it was there. I described it and everything, but the man on the phone said he did not see it. I was sure it was there and no one had been using it so I was confident that I lost it, it was not stolen. The day after I called, I went back up there. A woman was speaking with me (I'm assuming she was the manager) and she retrieved my debit card from the office. I checked my account again after receiving the card back and my debit card had been used twice on Groupon. I did not report this to the manager or police because I had no proof of who the culprit was but all fingers point to someone working at that location. Just don't leave your stuff is all I'm saying.
(1)Sarah N.
Yep, Dantanna's is A-OK. I was pleased with my business lunch this afternoon. I ordered the half sandwich and half salad lunch special, choosing Tarragon Chicken Salad sandwich and the Spinach salad, sans bleu cheese. The salad was amazing! The citrusy dressing was very light and the crunch from the almonds was perfect. A little heavy on the red onion, for my taste but I just picked around them. The chicken salad was good. It didn't blow me out of the water, but was a solid, if basic, mixture of shredded chicken and mayo. It could've used a bit more herbs for added flavor. I loved the bread it was served on- a very fresh and squishy bread roll. Overall I was satisfied once the check came and I got out of there for well under $15, drinking water. Service was quick and competent. The portion was just right for a quick weekday lunch.
(3)Robert H.
Not really great. They seem to be trying to hard and don't know what they doing menu wise. Good wasn't good. Service was ok. Much better options in buck head to spend time and $ here.
(2)Roman T.
After running the Peachtree Road Race we stopped in later that day for a few beverages and some appetizers. We sat outside (they have a great patio) and were fortunate enought to have an AMAZING server, Aisha. She was absolutely terrific. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better server in Atlanta. Funny, smart, great to talk with, she engaged our kids, and we would come back again just to sit in her section. Also, we had a margarita (good) and the crab/artichoke dip (really good) and wings. Food and atmosphere were really terrific but the service was outstanding. We need to make excuses to get down to Buckhead more often. Last but not least, we had some Krispy Kreme bread pudding that should be outlawed in at least 15 states. That good. Highly recommend.
(5)Anthony P.
Dantanna is always an awesome time but this time I had the best waitress i have ever had Aisha keep my drinks full it was almost like she could read my mind when I wanted a new drink I will definitely be back when she is working. All her recommendation were great. A+++
(5)Jasmine S.
This is our second time here and this place is VERY underwhelming to say the least. We were here last night for the Ohio State game (go Bucks!) and sat in the bar area. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels to start with. The bacon jalapeno queso it came with was hard and the pretzels did not taste fresh. Hubby ordered a burger with fries and a caesar salad on the side. I got the she crab soup. All things were just mediocre. Hubby loves his burgers and he was not impressed. My soup was ok-tasted like a clam chowder, with 2 small shards of crab. Our waitress was really bad. She was not attentive and we had to ask her multiple times for simple things i.e. silverware, water, condiments, etc. For the prices, you would think that the food and service would be of a better quality. Our last experience was not much better than this...
(2)Ramon G.
So I thought this would be mediocre bar food and that's what I found. I just wanted a light salad after a long night of apps with co-workers. The "salad" was a lump of tarragon chicken on a "bed" of lettuce. Cut to the real: three sprigs of over size leafy greens. Under a bunch of meat and mayo. And a tomato cut in four. BUT they were cool and let me send it back and get something else. And they have beer and basketball.
(3)Damon J.
Love this place had the cowboy cut steak and the mussels it was bomb quiet Sunday no crowd great service!
(5)Kristen H.
Hate to give a bad review, but literally couldn't give this place anything but one star (or less). Came here for dinner and everything was terrible - food was mediocre, service was absolutely horrendous, our order took forever and to finish off they calculated everything wrong on the bill. It's my first time here so not sure if it's a fluke, but won't be returning anytime soon. Might understand on a weekend, but pretty sad for a Tuesday night.
(1)Kami B.
We were visiting Atlanta for a conference and our hotel concierge recommended we try Dantanna's for lunch last Saturday. The food, atmosphere and service were fantastic! Our server, Rocky, was personable, offered (good) recommendations and made us feel more than welcome. For lunch I had the salmon sandwich and my boss has the mahi-mahi. We were both impressed with the food and even more impressed when the manager, Kevin, stopped by to check on us during our meal. The entire experience was so over the top that we even went back for dinner that night! We were lucky enough for Rocky to wait on us again. The food continued to impress and the evening manager, Cornelius, was also fantastic! Thanks for everything Dantanna's! This is a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Atlanta!
(5)sriparna m.
Wow, happy hour here is the greatest . Love their half off appetizers and their classic martinis. Best of all is Kevin, our Bartender. He is very courteous and very friendly, always made us feel comfortable and never lonely. He even remembered my name after a long while, which is not easy to remember. The other Bartender is Derick, another good guy! He always takes great care us always and makes us feel at home! Great place to be in a lot, because of them .
(5)Brian N.
I had the misfortune of eating here for a work function recently. The Palm and Del Friscos are across the street, but I drew the short straw and ended up here. This place is so bad that it doesn't deserve the time I would normally spend on a proper review. Here's the lowlights: I think our waiter was smoking crack. I've never been around someone smoking crack, but I'm pretty sure he was smoking crack. Maybe bath salts? At one point we thought we were being punked because he literally brought the opposite of everything we ordered. Order a bottle of wine, you get a glass. Order a mixed drink, you get the wrong one three times. Order a blackened lobster tail and you get a blackened filet. To top it off he would mysteriously disappear at odd times - like in the middle of taking our orders (probably to smoke more crack). You get the picture. Absolute sh!t show. Now the food. To be absolutely fair my filet tasted fine. The problem was that five people ordered filets medium. Two were well done and three were rare. The sides were also wrong and some salads didn't arrive. We cut our losses and didn't order dessert. We brought several issues to the attention of the manager, but he was clueless. Could not have cared less. The final straw was when we left and saw a pile of dead roaches under our table. Absolutely disgusting. Dantanna's needs to be taken out to pasture and shot. Someone please close this place and put them out of their misery.
(1)Inge H.
Had Sunday brunch, Food excellent (had Dantanas Eggs and oysters) great wine and exceptional service! Definitely a great place to go to with friends! Cannot wait to come back to Atlanta to visit again!
(5)Lacey J.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Dantanna's on a Sunday for lunch. There weren't many people there, so we were seated right away. Our waiter didn't have much of a personality but the service wasn't bad by any means. To start off, we got the Mac & cheese and it was absolutely delicious. We both ordered the sirloin- mine with house seasoning with bacon braised kale and sautéed mushrooms & he got his steak Oscar style with garlic mashed potatoes and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly medium and was juicy and very tender. I wasn't crazy about the kale. It wasn't bad at all but I just prefer my kale not cooked so much. The mushrooms were good too. The boyfriend enjoyed his meal as well. His garlic mashed potatoes weren't out of this world, but still good- same with the fries. We will be back!
(4)Michael D.
Best bar/restaurant in Atlanta area! I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and my first time visiting there summer 2014 my bartender Kevin gave the best service I have ever received from a restaurant..I worked as a server so I know good service and Kevin is the man! Explains every drink and food ingredient and gives his personal opinions and favorites on everything on the menu..special guy! I've been visiting ATL just to go there because of him..5th time coming in the last year! Definitely a place to visit and ask for Kevin he'll make your visit worth every second!

I really like Dantannas. It's a nice atmosphere, in a good location, with alot of parking, and solid food... think Houstons but with a sports bar element. ATMOSPHERE/DECOR: This is truly a high end sports bar and the clientele solidify this. There's two parts-- the bar area and the restaurant area (and actually there's a cigar room in back too). The bar area is filled with afterwork white collar guys watching the game, the bulk of them were in there dress shirts and slacks, sleeves rolled up, top shirt button undone and engulfed in a game while having drinks. It's a total white collar boys club upfront. The dinner area is chill, with great ambience, medium lighting both booth and table seating. SERVICE: The hosts are always very nice. The servers are nice, but they may have a caveat. For example the last time I was here I had an older man who was nice, but a little clumsy. This time it was a younger woman who was helpful and nice, but had a slight attitude. Those traits just seemed to be apart of there personality though. Because when we got temporary service from others (delivering food, refiling drinks, bringing boxes) they seemed to be more "normal" and friendly. FOOD: So far, its been very good. Salmon -- very good, I paired it with the bacon braised Kale. Made for a delicious dish. Mahi Mahi -- w/ asparagus and mash potatoes. This was a chefs special and it was pretty good, definitely very fulfilling. Filet Mignon -- I'm not a hardcore steak person, but I tasted my friends and it was pretty good. The young lady recommended how to have it made and which rub and sauce to use. (He got it medium, I forget the rub, but I believe it was topped with crab meat and a certain sauce-- he seemed to really enjoy it) Fries-- I just like there fries... perfectly made every time. Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls-- The last time I got them they were amazing, but I was also very hungry. This time they were pretty good. I'll definitely try other appetizers Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Ice Cream-- I've had this twice now and it's very damn good, lol. You feel like a glutton eating it, but it's actually not as sweet as you would imagine... it's perfect. I'll try different desserts from here on out though so I can review those. Bourbon Lemonade-- they added too much ice, but I realize I like bourbon lemonade... a true southerner indeed :-). SUMMARY: I have genuinely enjoyed Dantannas the couple times I've visited. I could see coming here for lunch or dinner, and I believe they're open late night (I've only been for dinner so far). It's a nice spot to have a dinner meeting because it's casual yet fancy at the same time thanks to the sports bar element. We also so Shaq here-- hard to miss 7'1 man though, lol, he stood out mostly because of his jogging suit apparel. You can wear whatever here for sure, there's no dress codes. Alot of business men are up front getting drinks after work and others are having dinner alone before heading back to the burbs. But its not just business people though, its also couples on dates, friends having drinks, etc. Solid 4.5/5 from me as of now. ETC: The one main con I can think of is when I went in February, some of the dinnerware seemed to not be as clean, we had to send some glasses back to get clean ones. So I guess they're more of a 4/5.

It's hard to find all my favorite things under one roof (red meat, cola ketchup, great scotch and cigars) and Dantanna's has them all. Every visit to Atlanta, I make a point to have a meal and cigar here. Does anyone know who the football player is in the men's room?

I hate giving a really bad reviews but if it were not for our server I would give it a half a star if I could. We were a party of three and here were the issues. The pork chop was nothing but fat, everything lacked salt/flavor, one of the sides were wrong, the Sautéed spinach was served with burnt garlic, the wine was hot the wine glasses smelled of bleach and one of our drinks was not delivered for over 15 minutes. After multiple complaints our server asked the manager to come out and talk with us. He listened, looked and did not even apologize. Our server could not do enough to rectify the situation with multiple apologies. Chris our server was excellent, I question if the manager is even qualified for the position. One of the folks in our party has been here before and promised the server to return as he feels it was a bad night. I would not come back.
(2)R F.
Love, love this place!! The braised short ribs are to die for!!! I have been there four times and always get something new haven't been disappointed yet! Service is a bit slow but okay never the less!
(5)Stephanie F.
I absolutely have this place five stars on the food. The food here is to die for. The plates are big and well worth the price. I ordered the Rosemary Chicken which was well roasted & my fiancé ordered the seafood platter. I would def say his plate was better than mine. It had all kinds of seafood with an awesome spicy (soft) sauce on it all and on the side a linguine pasta, that was absolutely breath taking. I love love this place. Def will come back for more!
(5)Kevin Q.
I ordered a flat iron steak with mac and cheese and brocolli. The meat was well cooked and delicious. I'm not sure if it being dry aged made much of a difference, but it was certainly great. Since this is a sports bar there are TV's everywhere. I was there for Game 1 of the 2014 World Series. If you want audio, sit near the bar section, otherwise you can barely hear anything in the standard dining area. I would come here again.
(5)Frank W.
Great upscale sport bar/restaurant. Nice steaks and fresh fish. Daily specials too.
(5)Jon S.
Now this is my new found spot, great place to eat and one of the best humidor around. They have a private area in the rear of the restaurant with lounge furniture and an ample amount of flat panel TV's to view the game on. The bar area is great and has an open air feel to it with plenty of sitting at the bar. It also has an outside sitting area and you can smoke cigars there too. This place came highly recommended and lived up to its recommendations. This was my first time to the Atlanta area and buckhead is the Beverly Hills to the south. Nestled Between large southern estates, I felt like I was in an episode of Atlanta Housewives from all the luxury homes and hoping night life around the area. Do yourself a favor and try Dantannas it's worth it and then cruise across the street and stop by the Cupcake ATM and make a withdraw of a large cupcake.
(5)Kent L.
We visited Dantanna's last year around the time of the World Cup. Even though they had just been roughed up by a very large group of soccer fans, they still managed to have make our visit very pleasant. The food was tasty and the service was great. We even had a couple local beers suggested, which turned out nice. We would definitely go back for a visit!
(5)Bruce P.
Visited for our 31st Anniversary, Gift from our "kids" I am not a big Flounder person, grew up with it- to me it has little flavor, but it sounded so good as the special... It surprised me, it was great. I truly enjoyed the light taste complimented by the crawfish topping. The Asparagus was cooked perfectly, not fibery at all, crisp but not hard. based on my sides next thanksgiving I will be making mashed taters with Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic for the family.
(5)Tiffany C.
Dantanna's has got to be one of my favorite places in Buckhead. The food is tasty and I enjoy the ever changing specials menu. My favorite dish was an Udon and Scallops dish. The Goat Cheese and Marinara appetizer is a must have! I give them a 3 because every time I've ever visited during lunchtime, the service is extremely slow and there's always barely any guest. Also the server is typically the bartender (short hair, African-American woman) and let's just say she doesn't have the best attitude in the world. The have a really good happy hour with great fusion cocktails for $5 AND it lasts until 7:00 p.m.! Thank goodness with Buckhead traffic these days. Overall, I enjoy the food, ambiance and price point.
(3)Rom P.
One of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. Service is terribly slow, unfriendly and disrespectful! Food is poorly prepared and simply unhealthy! Bar scene is the only part of the restaurant that is fair, at best. Impersonal and a "no one cares" attitude about the customer and the food. On two occasions we went to dinner, we felt like we were obligated to kiss everyone's ass to get service and our food. When we complained the lady manager came over and said that's just the way they do things!!! Amazing!!! She should've been fired and banished from ever working in the restaurant industry again!!!
(1)Yashaba H.
This place is awesome! I never had a steak so good! It is a bit pricey, but it's still reasonable considering the area it's located. The service here is good. The sides are delicious as well. They have a nice bar with a great beverage selection. It's not an ideal place for an intimate gathering however, it's very packed and a little too loud.
(4)Eric T.
Outstanding all around....food, service and value. The restaurant is attached to a cigar room and both were great. The place is beautiful and looks like places costing a lot more. The wasabi tuna and the garlic spinach were as good as I've had and very reasonably priced for the quality and decor. Regarding the cigar shop, Mike was very friendly and very knowledgeable. This place has earned my business anytime I'm in Atlanta.
(5)Ashley L.
Aisha was our waiter and she did an amazing job!!!! We had a great time!!! The food was great and the service was just as good!!!
(4)Patrice Y.
The food is excellent and so is the service. I live for their crabcakes! My vote counts because I am the hardest woman in the world to please... :-)!!!
(4)Mebin J.
Actually my rating is 3.5/5 ,but I don't have that option and giving a 3 is too low for this kind of restaurant. Just learned that Dantana was just started in 2003, but it looks and feels more like a matured restaurant. I really like the location and the ambiance.It is really a hidden gem in Lenox ,even though I drove through here 100s of times I just found this one. My checking in here wont disappointment me at all. It's more like a sports bar with upscale ambiance,if they decide to drop the sports label then it will be surely an upscale restaurant. Of course it's not in my top 10 restaurants in Atlanta, but I would like to come back here when ever I am in Lenox mall (This review is not covering the cigar bar ,it's all about the main restaurant) Good - tasty food, great location,reasonable affordable pricing (great plus) , ambiance , service. Bad - nothing much ,but they can improve service or maybe overall professionalism lacking.
(4)Tammy B.
I've never written a review on yelp... I felt I had to on the experience my team had at Dantanna's recently. I took a team of 9 for dinner and it was the most crazy experience. The waiter was polite but are drinks orders where incorrect through out dinne, the food was not cooked as requested and there was a dead roach under our table. I brought all this to the attention of the manager and it was taken as oh "sorry, really" I'm sorry. I was shocked. I plan large numbers of dinners in the Alpharetta area, mid town area and downtown. I've never experience what happened at Dantanna's. Sad and I will pass this along to my other meeting planners in the area. Get it together Dantanna's in Buckhead!!!!!
(1)Chris Z.
Felicia was my waitress. Cute, spunky... and had that 'it' factor. The place itself is like a man cave (at least the bar area). I watched a world cup game and had a piece of salmon and a salad. The food was good, the drinks were fine. One complaint is that the happy hour menu didn't really interest me. Not a great choice of foods or drinks.
(4)Mike S.
Dantanna's is a pretty solid establishment and a staple for sports bars if you have time to kill between meetings. I always sit in the bar, normally because it brings about two things: shenanigans and good calamari. The tuna is also good if you can get it; I couldn't last Friday for a late lunch. Instead I went for oysters, a pretty average KY Bourbon ale, and a [Moscow] mule that was more ice than anything. The oysters were good by themselves but the vinaigrette should've been left in the back. Keep it simple.. Horseradish, maybe cocktail sauces and Tabasco. Also I had a Thai beef wrap that was actually pretty damn good for something only Thai in name.
(3)D D.
Awful service! Mediocre food, decent atmosphere. Do NOT order the crab and artichoke dip! It tasted like soup out of a can before you add milk to make "she crab" soup. Yuck! I believe our "server" is really a busboy who took pity on us because we never received a waiter. He passed us 4 times without asking us if we needed anything. The absolute worst. This place seems to be a restaurant out of convenience because of its late night hours and bar. We will NEVER return to this place when we come to Atlanta.
(1)Anisha W.
Great place to sit back and eat. Only irk was outside patio has smoking area than flows into non smoking area.
(4)Karen H.
I vacilated between a 3 star and 4 star review on this one. I find myself at Dantanna's about once a month for some reason or another, and I've had a variety of experiences. Note: we almost always sit at the bar - so I can only really rate the service there. The Good: Super friendly bartenders who really seems to care if you're enjoying yourself. They're pretty knowledgeable about beer, a little less so about wine. I'd say 3/4 of the food I've had there is solid - the seafood specials are usually a good bet. Bonus that it's usually busy but not so slammed that you can't get a seat, and it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The So-So: The other 1/4 on the food side. Strange shrimp on a stick a few weeks ago, andI find the peppered salmon to be over-seasoned (though I'm a fan of letting a great piece of meat speak for itself). One visit they had a shrimp and oyster appetizer that was generous and awesome, another we got about 8 shrimp that were just okay. In general though, it's a fairly solid option for a low-key dinner for us.
(3)Kevin L.
They have a great cigar bar in the back. Dantanna's is a great place to go and watch games, catch up with friends or just have a relaxing evening at the cigar bar. They have great steaks and I absolutely love their tuna. The service is great and really go that extra mile to try and make sure that you are happy. if you order a Moscow Mule make sure you request it to be served in a copper cup, it makes all the difference.
(4)Joanne C.
I came here for lunch with my coworkers on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered our food around 12:20pm and got our food at 1:10pm. I understand that it was during lunch peak hours in Buckhead. There were three big parties at the restaurant but two tables ordered their food after us. So it's still not acceptable to take 50 minutes to get our lunch for party of six. Not to mention the service was terrible. Our waitress did not apologize for the long wait, she did not stop by for more water (until we requested), did not ask if we needed anything. When I made my order, I asked for the salad dressing choices. She responded to my request with, "What do you WANT?". The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the food was okay. I ordered the grilled salmon sandwich. It was on the blend side but with the mustard it was decent. However, the salmon was bit dry. Overall, okay food and worst service. I would not come back here.
(2)Sebastian M.
The crab cake was really good. The only thing is there were little pieces of crab shell in it I crunched on one. The bartender replaced it and the second one was just as good with no shells so that was a one time thing. The bartender was a little sloppy. It was not busy so I was disappointed with that. I stopped at the two crab cakes because I was full but I will be back to try one of their famous burgers later this week
(4)Joni T.
The Krispy Kreme bread pudding is the bomb!!! We came back a second night during our stay in Atlanta just for the bread pudding. We loved being able to enjoy an after dinner cigar on the outdoor patio. As for Denise. Awesome waitress.
(5)Anjanetta W.
Today was my first time visitng the place for a conference meeting. I think they need a sign pointing to where the place actually is located, but I found it. The place itself is nice. I think the decor is cool and the patio seemed nice. I feel that the choice that I made was not too great. The fish and chips were basically bland and not a great choice at all. It seemed as though some of the other meals delivered to our tabe had more appeal. So my plate was yuck! I plan to re visit for another update, but no Fish and Chips for me.
(2)Nina L.
First time visitor, I decided to take my BF who lives out of state and is somewhat of a sports bar devotee and aficionado. We loved it! We sat at the bar; our server Dante was friendly, attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. We were surprised to learn later that he was a trainee, that's how good he was. The food with one exception was delicious. The appetizer, braised duck breast with gnocchi melted in the mouth. My drink, a Moscow Mule was so refreshing so I had 2. My spinach salad was so good. The only disappointment was my boyfriend wanted to introduce me to oysters--they were horrible. And that's not because I'm a novice--my BF who's eaten lots & lots of them over the years, agreed. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely return. Nice touch: the manager Eric came out and introduced himself to us too.
(4)Aaron C.
Service is terrible if you are not a local. They are slow to service you. Bartender spends more time talking to the regulars. Having long in-depth conversations. He was looking at his cell phone instead of seeing who needed service. Looks like a Cush job to me. With so many hotels in walking distance you would think they would cater to the business visitors as well. Place was practically empty when I was there. Very disappointed. I visit Buckhead often. Last time at this place. Poor management.
(1)Aysha C.
As a frequent traveler to Atlanta; Dantanna's is my go-to place for a great Creekstone burger or steak. Dantanna's is a great place to watch the game and grab a delicious burger. Overall - great service and good food!
(4)Danielle J.
So as I hate football, a sunday was perhaps not the best day to go when we were in town, visiting atlanta....however, the build your own bloody bar is FANTASTIC!! Very sports bar-ish, but has outdoor seating, nice servers, and did I mention the amazing bloody mary bar on weekends?!?
(4)Asia J.
The ONLY reason I am giving them any stars is the Ciopinno! It was huge and absolutely delicious. It comes with a huge bowl of pasta so after we ate the huge pieces we mixed the smaller seafood with the pasta to take home. I would come back just for that. HOWEVER if I go to a steakhouse I expect the steak to be amazing. I got the cowboy steak and I asked for it medium and it was medium-well/ some pieces well done. It was chewy and it wasn't seasoned that well huge disappointment.
(3)Carrie Neal W.
Yesterday, we wanted something "different" for lunch (translation- not one of the places we visit all the time) and the Boy wanted meat. So I threw out a bunch of ideas and he picked Dantanna's. I hadn't been in a long time and other than the ordeal of getting there - the 2 mile drive I have!- thanks to a lane being closed on Peachtree for God knows what reason, it was an excellent experience. (The traffic situation is not, of course, Dantanna's fault, just had to mention it - also, note that the company that owns the building they're in is re-facing the whole thing so while it looks like a construction zone, D's is still fully up and running just with only one side of their stairs open!). Anyway, it was a great lunch. I have in general (except for a couple blips per my previous reviews) always liked their food. Turns out that our bartender - I love to sit at their bar as it is such a cool shape and is good for a single diner, a couple or even a group - was Gigi, who knew the Boy from years ago at another restaurant. She was awesome!! We were definitely hungry so we started with the awesome chicken egg rolls, which are my fave version of this item anywhere in town- so well flavored, no black beans (I do not dig) and not stridently/trying to be "spicy" as some places try to advertise. And while I've had many a burger at Dantanna's (fully endorse them, btw) it was a day for steak, specifically the 8oz (or maybe 10, can't remember) filet - we got it to share with asparagus and fries. The steak was delicious. I always love their asparagus and fries so this whole meal was perfect. It wasn't too crowded - some wine tasting was going on with reps visiting at our late-ish (2pm) lunch hour, a good and relaxed vibe, super service and good food! Perfect break in a stressful week! Must return soon.
(4)Nestor R.
Food and service leave a lot to be desired. I only come here because of the terrace and cigar smoking. If the food and service were better, I would be here a lot.
(2)Daniel F.
Food quality is surprisingly high given the somewhat unusual 'high-end' sports bar theme. Food is well proportioned, excellent cooked, and nicely presented. The New York strip I had on my second visit was perfect. Side asparagus (very well prepared, i.e. not overcooked!) and fries (which were fantastic!). Fish tacos on the first visit were tasty, Caesar salad good too. On both visits, service has been outstanding. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Prices are not sky-high, either.
(5)Dj S.
Visited Atlanta for the weekend and my wife wanted me to try out Dantanas since shes eaten there before. I gotta say I was impressed. The restaurant has sports bar feel to it, but more upscale. We started with the sautéed blue crab fingers which were awesome. My wife ordered the chapino, the half order was huge and full of flavor. It had half a lobster, mussels, pollock, and shrimp. It also comes with a big bowl of linguine. No way one person can eat all of it. I had the heart attack burger, this thing is a monster. Two grilled cheese sandwiches with a fried egg and burger between it. To be honest the burger is a little ridiculous. You can't pick it up because everything falls out of it and unfortunately they didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked so it came out like a hockey puck. Overall the food and service is good, price wasn't bad because of the portion size. 4 stars.
(4)Jenny D.
I've tried so many restaurants since I've moved to Atlanta and this one is one I would not bother going back. That is my opinion, my husband on the other hand did like this place and will come back. Here are a few of our points. Ordered crab bisque - too salty in my opinion. However, we did have good experience with the waiter. My husband and I told the waiter we were going to split the bowl of soup to start with and the waiter offered to split the soup in 2 cups to make it easier to share. Kudos to the friendly and professional waiter. Sorry I forgot his name For our entree we ordered - Dantanna's Cioppino - Which is Maine lobster, Alaskan king crab, shrimp, mussels & fresh fish in some kind of tomato sauce. It was very spicy and although it looked GRAND, huge plate, whole lobster, king crab, big portion of everything - I wasn't loving it. I felt the lobster was overcooked, crab too salty and spicy, and way too much fish. My husband and I are big eaters and could not finish our entrée. You should be very hungry if you order this! I think my husband enjoyed this more than I did...although it was very spicy and he is a big fan of HOT food! The place seemed good for large tables. There was 3 large parties going on when I was there. All 20 - 30's looking like they were celebrating someone's birthday, lots of alcohol involved. There is also a cigar bar in the restaurant that my husband has visited a few times. He's says it's a nice place to chill because you can smoke, watch TV and they also bring food to you if you want. But don't worry you won't smell it in the restaurant section.
(2)Theresa G.
I've tried several items on the menu - all amazing! My favorite place to go watch my St Louis teams play when in Atlanta for work. They are always willing to turn the game on since they have several TV's and remember me when I come in, even if it's been a few months. Can't beat great service and great food - whether you sit at the bar or in the restaurant!!
(5)L M.
In town for the week and we tried out this fancy sports bar. Happy hour was busy so that tells you something right there. Customer service was on point for us, this seems to kind of waver based on past reviews. I enjoyed the blackened shrimp fingers. The serving was generous and I'd say it serves 4 or more as an appetizer. Great deal if you get the happy hour price!
(4)Kenya S.
First time at this lovely restaurant. I loved the atmosphere. If you can, try to sit on the patio. Our server's name was Derroll. He's very popular and an AMAZINGGGG server. Get him if you can!!! Food? Appetizer: Crab & Artichoke dip. () Entrees: 1 Spinach Salad with shrimp added. I got the small portion which was very filling for a young woman. Once again, amazing!!! 2 Caesar wrap. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The wrap was VERY dry and the chicken was very salty. *Could've just been the cook on duty though* All in all, I will be returning. 5 out 5 stars!!!
(5)Angela F.
The service and the food was amazing. I'm particular about good service from having been in customer service for years, so I've come to expect a certain level at my age. I was quite impressed by the hospitality by everyone I encountered. Our server did very well to answer all of our questions patiently as well as tend to our needs. We felt like valued guests the entire time. The manager also checked in and made sure we were satisfied. I'm quite a fan of eggs benedict and crab cakes, so I had the crab cake eggs benedict brunch plate. It was expertly prepared. It was not only delicious, but also plated beautifully. I'm sure we will return next time we're in the area.
(5)Andrea B.
I can't remember that last time I was so impressed by French fries. Dantanna's does some insanely good fries!!! Actually, they do insanely good with a lot of things. I stopped by with my aunt and sister for lunch, and I ordered the crab cakes, which were fantastic. And those fries that came with it perfectly satisfied my craving for something a little greasy, with just the right amount of crisp. Place was empty, but service was fast. Great lunch spot with lots of shopping nearby!
(4)Nikki R.
We came here for a family dinner, and it was a nice atmosphere for that. We were looking for a place to get a classic American meal, either steak and a baked potato or salmon, and we were very satisfied. I ordered a sirloin, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and tasted about as lean and melt-in-your-mouth as a filet (albeit with more flavor), which to me is a sign of excellent preparation. Both parents got the blackened salmon, and the restaurant was accommodating of one's request for it to be lightly blackened and cooked well. Both parents were impressed, and I must admit the salmon was as good as other fish places I've eaten at. Returned two times since then, got the steak once more, and most recently tried the oysters, which weren't quite as good at the steak compared to other places, but still a good meal. The place gets very busy on holidays, but on a regular weekend, you can get a table with no reservations if you go early enough.
(4)Josiah G.
Well, overall the experience was good. The steak was tasty the beer was good and the service was pretty great. With all that in mind, my steak was ordered med rare and could have been a little less medium with a little more rare. I ordered the ribeye with mashed sweet potatoes and a salad that came out before with champagne lime vin and it was very good. I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon barrel Ale to start and an old fashioned later... I sent back the old fashioned because it just didn't taste right. Honestly I am particular about how you make an old fashioned because so many people get it wrong. I ordered it conservative (no muddled fruit) and that's how it came. The server was really nice about it and the manager as well. The replacement wasn't much better so I just went with it. Overall I will most likely return to this place. All restaurants can have off nights but I enjoyed the service.
(3)John A.
Stopped here for a lunch meeting. Ordered a blue cheese burger, which was good but not special. Where I was seated, there was a person seated behind me and our chairs were pretty close together. For some reason the server insisted on trying to squeeze through the narrow gap between the two chairs - and as you can imagine, continuously bumped into me. I would say at least a dozen times - making my experience rather uncomfortable.
(3)Laura K.
I definitely suggest getting the crab fingers for an appetizer!
(5)Alex P.
I've been to Dantanna's on numerous occasions and experiences varied from okay to terrible. - CARELESS SERVICE. During the last visit, it seriously felt like the waitress was doing s a favor by serving us. As she was bringing beer to the table, she could barely hold the tray steady and when she put the glass on the table, both her tray and the outside glass were covered with beer. She also had a very careless attitude and clearly did not want to be there. She wasn't necessarily rude, but it just felt like she was doing a favor serving us. - GAME WE WANTED TO SEE WAS NOT PLAYING. Now, I completely understand that during March madness season, a Real Madrid vs Barcelona soccer game may not be on too of the list for many of their clients. However, we called and asked beforehand if the game would be playing. They confirmed it would be. When we got there, it was not. It took one of the employees 10 min of gametime to put it on the tv screens in the very back, with several other groups of people sitting and waiting. If it wasn't for my friend who knew soccer channels, this would have taken even longer.
(2)Mark L.
I've now been to all three Dantanna's locations and once again had a great experience at the Buckhead location. I am giving this location 5 stars because I had really outstanding service from one of the waitresses working in the bar area. She was friendly, polite, and took good care of me without being overbearing or intrusive. As with the other locations, this Dantanna's is excellent for sports viewing with a theater-like experience provided by the big screen behind the bar and the curving seats in front of the bar. There is a lot of excitement from fans of different teams rooting for their team. The food is several notches above your typical sports bar food, but is not much more expensive than most other sports bars, at least for the burgers and sandwiches. I had a BCS burger which had a huge patty of high quality beef with some cheese and mushrooms. It was juicy and moist and extremely tasty. They have about eight drafts on tap. Most are from local breweries. I assume that some of these are rotating drafts. I had two different beers: an Eventide stout and the Three Taverns Single Intent. The Single Intent was not my style and I wouldn't order it again, but I appreciated being able to try out different beers that I haven't had before. I enjoyed the Eventide stout, but have had better stouts. The parking, by the way, is easy and convenient, with a free lot available with plenty of spots when I visited on a Saturday night. I strongly recommend any of the Dantanna's restaurants, especially for people who want to watch a game while they drink or have a meal.
(5)Asma A.
I want to give you a 5 only cause your steak is halal!! However, it's not that amazing. Steak was okay! I definitely have had better for the price. Ordered the filet minion and it was okay. It's definitely better in taste than the top sirloin that my friend got! Desert: definitely a must!! This is a great place for games, nice outdoor patio, just not the kind of place you wanna get a steak at I guess!
(3)Gary G.
I didn't expect much walking in, the look reminded me of a higher end chain restaurant sports bar. However, my opinion changed significantly after witnessing the efforts of a superb waiter, noticing the prices for the area were actually not the worst, and the food was presented well and pretty tasty! My dish wasn't my favorite, so they were teetering on 4 and 5 stars for me, but who knows, maybe the next visit I'll try something different and bump it up to 4.5! (I'll round up of course ;)

Why 3 stars......I continue to come here for the patio, the location abd the NFL football games. This IS the upside. Had the bloody Mary bar today it was perfection. The food continues to disappoint. Flavorless wings and a below avg burger. Let's face it this is not the place for great adult food or inspired creations. Dantannas remains a great sports bar struggling with it's identity, who wants to be accepted as a restaurant.

For a sports bar the food is out of this world! We got in around 1am and found they served until 2am so we tried a few things off the menu. The Reuben was great, chicken sandwich was amazing and the wine list for a sports bar wasn't that bad. We loved the server- she was so sweet! I never expected the food to be good here but I am so happy it was:) We will be back!

Went here for dinner last night. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant, the one right next to the cigar room and if it was up to me, I would've requested another one. Our server, a tall African-American guy was super nonchalant. His demeanor was of someone who was very unbothered. We never even got asked if we wanted water! Someone else had to ask us if we wanted more cocktails and even then, they took another 10 minutes to arrive. For the price you pay, you'd think the service would at least be on par but No. Definitely won't be back.
(2)Dano R.
Great atmosphere with a solid and diverse menu. Sports bar feel with quality food including salads, oysters, wings, sandwich's , etc. Lively bar with an open air patio that's great for those beautiful afternoons and nights.
(4)David L.
Came here for the first time yesterday and was not pleased. It was the only place around that closed late. The place was nearly empty and our server was horrible. She never offered us any water, didn't leave any silverware for us, and was nowhere to be found when we wanted to check out. We had to check out with the manager. In addition, Our steaks were over cooked. Don't think I will be back...
(1)Jim M.
Don't sit at the bar unless you are comfortable being hit in the head by the server tray. Even better was when he said, "you arright" and kept walking. Definitely put a damper on the evening.

Dantanna's in Buckhead is one of my top favorite restaurants in Atlanta. A good friend and I went there for dinner tonight and had a wonderful dining experience. This was my third visit to the restaurant in the past three years. Both the host and our server were very friendly and attentive. I started off with one of their signature cocktails made with tequila, fresh blackberries, ginger beer and few other ingredients that I can't remember. It was delicious. I dined on a thick cut grilled Berkshire pork chop with granny smith apple slices in a bourbon sauce. The chop was cooked perfectly and had that smoky grilled flavor all the way through to the bone that I loved. I ordered the bacon braised kale and a loaded baked potato for my two sides which were both tasty. My friend ordered the peppered salmon fillet entrée which she enjoyed. I ordered the chocolate mousse pie for dessert that was actually too large to eat in one sitting. So I took most of my dessert home with me. If you want a dinner spot that has top chef quality surf and turf dishes with great drinks, then Dantanna's in Buckhead is the place for you.

Very good food! It's an upscale sports bar located in the upscale part of Atlanta called Buckhead. It has a great atmosphere and huge TV screens everywhere. Sort of a combination of 'Ruth's Chris/ESPN Sports Zone'. Service was good, they had to return two of our plates back for wrong side items, but it was rectified in a timely manner. For our appetizer, we ordered a fabulous lump crab cake which was true lump crab meat and not canned minced. We ordered steaks for dinner. The steaks have a choice of different rubs, my family chose the garlic rub. We each ordered a ribeye, sirloin & butterflied filet, all cooked exactly like we wanted it. The garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. The Mac-n-Cheese had bacon bits which have it that southern twist. Needless to say, our plates were empty :)
(5)Kimberly G.
I absolutely adore Dantanna's! I feel it's extremely underrated. I've been here three times & two of those times, had the BEST steak cooked exactly how I asked. Garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus are both amazing, as well. Love their drinks & the bartenders & servers are all super pleasant & friendly. They have a great outdoor patio, lots of tv's, but the place is a little dark. Great for date nights or just dinner with friends. Sat at the bar one night this past weekend for wine & can't say enough good things about the bartenders. Super nice. I love this place & it's a go-to for dinner. Great location in Buckhead within walking distance of Lenox mall & multiple hotels.

A friend of mine from L.A. was in town for a weekend and felt like having a good steak for dinner, but obviously not at a restaurant that can also be found in California. We turned to good ol' Yelp for a steak place near his hotel in Buckhead, and we came across Dantanna's. Located next to Lenox Square Mall, it was pretty close, so we decided to try it out. At first, we were told we would have to wait a while unless we wanted to sit in the patio area. My friend didn't really care, as long as he got to watch the USC vs. Oregon football game from where we were seated. The patio was spacious and pretty empty - except for the couple that was smoking. Now I don't know about you, but I hate the smell of cigarettes - especially while I'm trying to eat. So, after trying to tolerate the stench for a few minutes, I finally just told my friend that I'd rather wait for however long we needed to wait than sit out here and EAT while inhaling second-hand smoke. He didn't care either way, so I told the hostess that we would wait for table inside. Fortunately we only needed to wait about 10 minutes for a table (after the hostess had initially told us it would be like 20 to 30 minutes). And luckily for my friend, the USC vs. Oregon game was on the screen directly in front of our table. Although I am a Trojan, I was never really into football and didn't care about the game. I was really hoping the steak was good because I just kinda sat there (with my back to the screen) while my friend was enjoying the game. After looking at the menu for a few minutes and being a little appalled by the prices, I decided to order the 8 oz Top Sirloin ($21!!!) cooked to medium temperature. My friend ordered the 14 oz Ribeye ($28). All steaks come with your choice of two sides, and I decided on the Bearnaise Mushrooms and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. I thought the sirloin steak was good, but not the best I've ever had. And I recall that it was cooked more medium-well than medium, but I didn't want to complain to the server. The Bernaise Mushrooms, which looked to be a mixture of two or three different types of mushrooms cooked in the buttery and herb-infused Bernaise sauce, were really flavorful and delicious. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were also very good. However, I could not see how the price of $21 could be justified! To top it off, when I got my check, I noticed that the server had added a couple bucks as an "extra charge" for ordering the Bernaise Mushrooms as one of my sides. The check indicated that it was a "premium side" or something. Funny thing is, nowhere on the menu does it indicate (with an asterisk or separate section) that any of the sides were "premium" sides that one would be charged extra for. So I informed my server, who then had to "check on this" and then came back with the corrected check. I know that Dantanna's is supposed to be an "upscale" sports bar type of restaurant, but maybe that's what I hate most about it. I mean seriously, this is NOT a nice place to go with someone who does not enjoy watching sports. However, my friend seemed to like this place as he got to watch the game he thought he was going to miss AND enjoy his 14 oz Ribeye. Two birds with one stone for steak and sports lovers! Overall, I feel that Dantanna's deserves 2.5 stars. The service was just "meh," my steak wasn't cooked as I wanted it, it was overpriced, they tacked on an unnecessary extra charge, and I just did not like the idea of the upscale sports bar. I feel like a place should be either a nice restaurant OR a sports bar, but it can't be both. Although the food was good, I strongly feel that it's overpriced and would not recommend this place to my friends. I do not plan to return. [Review 008 of 366]

Dantannas is a typical steakhouse. I went here with friends while visiting Atlanta, and I really enjoyed my meal. I was HONGRY when I got here as I had been driving for hours and didnt eat anything so I was ready to stuff myself - and STUFF I did! I got the flash fried crab claws as an appetizer - YUM. I got the 14oz. ribeye - bigger than I normally like it, but oh well. I got it with the Oscar topping, which is a cream sauce and jumbo lump crab with sauteed mushrooms & bleu cheese mashed potatoes. The food was GREAT! The steak was cooked just the way I wanted it - medium. And dessert, yes, I threw caution to the wind and had dessert. Not just any old dessert, but freakin KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING!!!! It was amazing. I was so full, I couldnt finish it, but I loved that I tried it. The service was good. Drinks & food came fairly quickly and the waiter was accommodating. If youre in Atlanta and in search of a great steak - check this place out!
(4)Natascha H.
The food is SO good. I started off with their chicken and artichoke soup - delicious! Then I had a salad - and two sides - don't judge! The Mexican corn was so good. The best part of this amazing meal was the chocolate pie. It just melted in my mouth! Our server Johanna was great as well.. Very professional with great suggestions! Oh, and the take out boxes were cardboard and not styrofoam and I loved that, as styrofoam doesn't recycle. We shall be back!
(5)A M.
Service is not too awesome but food is!! Loved our BCS burger! Oh calamari so fresh and delish (small portion though - too bad), and don't get me started on Mac'n'cheese :| it was Christmas in my mouth!!! Server got better later on... :/
(4)Blake T.
Service was average. The sweet tee wasn't sweet at all, I kept having to ask for another one. The food came out in good time and it was good I must say. Burgers are huge! Nice establishment.
(3)Gina S.
Good food but the service I had from Ashley made this experience OUTSTANDING. So pleasant and professional. I was worn out from a long couple days of travel and work but Ashley reminded me that the power of kindness revives the soul along with a good chicken salad. Huge kudos to thos restaurant for hiring the right people!
(5)S A.
Pretty good BCS Burger. Very juicy! Would be cool if there was a game on. Calamari was very fresh too. They definitely use quality ingredients. I will be back to try other items..
(4)Bob S.
The food is good particularly the Braised Lamb Shank. The service is excellent. However once I could not find a seat at the bar however that's what happens at a good restaurant.
(5)Mark M.
The food was very good, but it is noisy. Overall the options for steak preparation, speed of service, and the sweet tea will make me a returning customer. The distracting televisions and close proximity of seating is worth it.

This was one of the main highlights on my mini vacation to Atlanta. Sports fan, keep on reading. My curious mind wanted something different; I decided to come along and ride on a fantastic voyage to the Buckhead neighborhood. I had Dantanna's on my list of places to check out for dinner. Upon arrival, you'll notice a dimly-lit, semi-upscale sports bar in the center, while restaurant style tables sit on the left-hand side. Oh yeah, and just a couple huge flat-screen TVs right behind the bar. Honestly, I thought the crowd would be a little younger; I had to be the youngest male in the establishment. No, I did not stay around long enough to figure out if this is a Cougars bar. Nonetheless, there was a sexy vibe that could be felt throughout on the Friday night I attended Dantanna's. I fail to remember the name of my bartender/waitress, but she was attentive and friendly throughout. There was another waitress who came in some time thereafter to provide backup, and she was friendly as well. From the menu, I ordered the Buffalo wings. The wings came out just the way I like my wings, HOT. Napkins were drenched, water was gulped, blue cheese was dug into, and I finished a happy camper. The Buffalo Wings were priced a little more than what you can get somewhere else, but I was content on trying something on the menu without breaking bank. It was a safe, but good choice. There was not a big sports game on at the time of my stay at Dantanna's, but I would like to think that it gets crowded here when a good Falcons/Braves/Bulldogs game is televised. Would I come back to Dantanna's? Absolutely. Would I recommend Dantanna's? Of course. Will I find out if Dantanna's is a cover up for a cougar's bar? To be continued.
(4)K.Hill T.
The atmosphere is great.... I absolutely LOVE this place. Can't wait until I go back.
(5)Thomas W.
The menu is very attractive to those who want something different. The mimosa is a good choice too. The mimosa with tge red bull in it is interesting. It didn't make me feel like I was on an energy high which was great but I want tonight out that the crab cake.............. I had to take a moment. It is PHENOMENAL! I high five the chef or whom ever derived the recipe. I'm a Carolina boy so I know good crabcakes! Now, this thing called a steak. Baby these here people had me at the presentation. It was soooooooooo freaking delicious. The flavors you can vary so far as a rub or marinade etc. I love tasting new stuff but I wouldn't mind a second round here.
(5)Matthew V.
The Salmon is really good.. The service is almost on point.
(4)Yisi L.
This is a standard sports bar in Buckhead area. Like other reviews said there are multiple TVs play different sports channel. Went there for lunch with coworkers on chick-fil-a football game day so it was packed with fans from NC and TN. I had fish taco with mango salsa and asparagus. The fish taco and mango salsa actually taste good; however it was way too soft and wrapped in a weird way so my hands got really messy. Attention: avoid messy food when it is a formal business lunch... The asparagus were too thin and overcooked.

I ate here for dinner Friday night while in Buckhead for a wedding with 2 other couples. They were able to take a reservation for us with just a couple of hours' notice. When we arrived a bit early, we were promptly seated to our table. The ambiance was upscale - great dimmed lighting and very posh. I immediately felt that we made a great choice. Our waitress was excellent, joked around with us as we got lively and recommended an excellent wine for us to go through at least 3 bottles of together (The Pessimist). Apps - crab and artichoke dip from the main menu and a scallop hush puppy over arugula from their special menu. Both were to die for! It was plenty to share with one order of each. Salads - Across our table, we tried the Ceasar, the Wedge and the Arugula & Finocchioni salads and had clean plates with no complaints. Main - I ordered the Carpetbagger-Style Flat Iron Steak ($24). It came topped with two fried oysters, Marchands de Vin & Béarnaise. The flavor was so savory and it was cooked perfectly medium-rare. The special Pork Chop dish was also a table favorite and was a thick cut, generous portion. I got to taste a bite and was in total agreement. Sides - Blue cheese mashed potatoes were a hit as well as perfectly cooked asparagus spears and sautéed mushrooms. I enjoyed my béarnaise mushrooms and sautéed garlic spinach. The flavors in every bite I had at Datanna's were agreeable and so savory. Afterwards, we were too stuffed to go out bar hopping or dancing but were able to manage a night cap at the hotel bar after the short walk back. If they opened up in Dallas, I'd be first in line!

I am in town traveling for work and was looking for something different. I went to eat alone (boohoo) but didn't feel alone as the hostess and waiter (Kevin) were very friendly and fantastic! Kevin let me know where they sourced their ingredients (local farms primarily), not because he asked but because they are proud of this! They are apparently known for their wines, but I enjoy beer instead. They have a great selection of local and craft brews. I started with some hush puppies, they were unlike any I have had before. They were light, came with some greens and a fantastic sauce. The corn inside kept them moist, and they weren't saturated with oil. I ordered the special for that day which was stuffed Ahi Tuna with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. The mashed potatoes and green beans were fantastic sides! The potatoes were straight forward but well seasoned certainly real/fresh potatoes. The green beans were also fresh and roasted well, served cooked and crisped, not soaking in some liquid. The Tuna was stuffed with seasoned fresh crab, and topped with a peppered hollandaise sauce. I asked for a rare cook on the fish, and it was cooked perfect. It was a generous, thick, cut of Tuna. It was seared perfect, and just barely warmed to the center. The stuffed crab was nice inside, and the sauce was fresh, and just the perfect amount. If I find myself back in Atlanta, I will definitely return.

The only reason I can give this place a two is that the appetizer was good. Other than that, the food took too long before it was delivered which may explain why my fries were cold. My burger was utterly disgusting and it left me with a horrendous aftertaste. My friend ordered the shrimp and said it had no flavor at all. On top of that the waitress was unpersonable and appeared to be put out having to take our order.
(2)Scott S.
Nice decor. Mostly attentive service. Plenty of TV's. Really good burgers. The only drawback? The fries are terrible. Any sports bar (and that's what it is, albeit an upscale one) needs to offer great fries.
(3)Tristen L.
We sat at the bar and had Lobster Claws which were awesome. Mac n Cheese was okay. Fried Oyster Rockefeller great also. Gloria was our bartender she was very knowledgeable and attentive.
(4)Sarah S.
I'd give Dantanna's 2 stars at best, and only because the food was decent. The atmosphere at 9 pm was awful. We sat in the dining room. If you face the back of the dining room, you are going to be dealing with a disco ball type of light show based on where their projector is located. The back wall has mirrors that also catch the light so it gives off an abandoned bar at 3 am feel even at 9pm. Plus the light ray from the projector hits the mirrors and shines back in your eye. Our server was ok at first. Orders taken correctly and service was prompt until it seemed she got a few too many tables. I know this isn't her fault but she was clearly flustered. The manager then delivered our food to the wrong table, figured it out, picked it up off their table and brought to ours. After waiting almost 10 minutes to see our server to get our table cleared and to get our check, we finally just sat our credit card on the edge of the table to give our server a hint. She grabbed it up, and we expected her to ring our check and return it immediately (the register was 6 feet at most from our table). However, she walked around with our card in her apron for 5 minutes, and even went to her purse to grab cigarettes WITH our card in her apron! Finally she walked back by and I asked for our check and our card back. She seemed to have forgotten completely that she had even grabbed it! Another server was yelling over tables to the host that they were all going out and that she had better come with them! Overall, yuck. Decent food is not enough to save an experience like that.
(2)Alexa G.
I initially went with three stars, but had to bump it up a notch because of the service we received from the bartender. Wow, he was definitely on his game that night very friendly and his descriptions of dishes on the menu almost made me want to order one of everything he was describing. This place is definitely the spot for an after work happy hour, as it was pretty busy around 6, and the whole bar area was packed with people watching the games on TV. *read: great spot for singles* The food (Ruben sandwich) was plentiful and pretty good.
(4)Kellie N.
Great place. I love sitting at the bar and having dinner. The after-work crowd is great. The bartenders are very nice and interactive...and the food is really good. I had the wasabi tuna and it was AMAZING! The TVs are great for watching sports while enjoying a cocktail and food. The restaurant side looked nice...I'll have to go back and take friends to sit on that side.
(4)Cherry L.
DUDE, the steak here is AMAZINGGGGGGG holyyyy molyyyyyyy didnt think much of the beer/bar/etc....bc we were here for MEAT! haha I got the 14 oz New York Strip (medium rare plus) and my friend got the 20 oz Cowboy Cut Ribeye (Pittsburgh--blue on the inside & charred on the outside). Both were cooked PERFECTLY and seasoned PERFECTLY. omg I would like some right away....right now..... had a bowl of their she crab soup. it was pretty tasty, but got a few crab shells....so weird....maybe this indicates...the.....freshness of the crab?? but there really werent that many chunks of crab....soooo....hm? -1 star bc of the price.... it was much much much much more expensive than anything else on the menu, both around $30. but really +1 star bc it was so delish.
(5)Jarrell F.
Dantanna's rests in a part of Atlanta where it is seen and be seen. While traffic can be murder to get there, parking is plentiful and the food? Awesomeness. In a swanky shopping district, I easily assumed Dantanna's was a upscale, "couples only" (my way of saying avg. dish price greater than $25), stuffy, small portion spot. I was fortunately wrong. The restaurant needs to emphasize the "sports bar aspect" because it really is one at its roots. Large projectors, active bar and delicious food with grand portions (almost close to the majesty of Marietta Diner [check them out too!]). It is a classy space, but a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. My only points of gripe are the lack of various menu items (asparagus, broccoli, baked potatoes, cowboy ribeye and skirt steak) and an attached cigar shop which perfumed the dining area with a light rancid smoke scent, of which I am not a fan. However, Atlanta just came out of another mini-ice apocalypse for deliveries and Valentine's day was this past Friday (I went here on Sunday), so the lack of items was understandable to me. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 7 with predominately steak/bigger items. Also, they have a killer rewards program; you can get $25 off your order during your birthday month and points that accumulate to chef-catered dinners, freebies, etc. I love that sort of thing. Not a 5-star for the lack of items and smoke, but a great experience overall. Will definitely be back for the specials and food.
(4)Jake K.
The good thing about Dantanna's is that 1) it's open late; 2) it has plenty of TVs; and 3) it's open late. When you're in town for a conference and other bars chase you out, Dantanna's will continue to serve you well into the night. The layout is interesting - it has a bar...then a ring of bar stools and bar seating behind it. Reminds me of an old drive in movie theater...for sports viewers who drink. I love it. Bar tenders were friend - the only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because when I ordered a crab dip and asked for the large size, I got some tortilla chips and the size of a cup of soup, not a crock like you'll get in other places. Yet I was charged for crock prices. No bueno. The drunk fatty in me needs food, not snacks when inebriated.
(4)Brian P.
This place is a consistent dinner spot for me. The bar and atmosphere of a big-box chain betrays what is really a well thought out and solid menu. It's the perfect place to bro out as a young professional. There are sports screens galore and it's a reliable place to get something tasty and healthful for the right place in the right location at the right time. I think you can't really go wrong, if you have the expectation you're just looking for a solid experience. You don't need to be overwhelmed every time, and sometimes you just want a big hunk of meat with two sides, you know? This being said, I think there are some things you can get and avoid: Get: broiled crab claws. supplement that with a lighter entree (i.e. fish special or salmon). what you could do is also the beef short ribs, easily one of the best choices on the menu. All of the specials are good deals and worth getting--be confident knowing that they're really not trying to rip you off with the bottom-of-the-bucket leftovers. I really believe they try. Don't get: salads are weak here. you can do better at a salad bar if you really know what you're doing. If you need your veggies, there's really nothing nothing wrong with them. Note that the reuben is great, and the seafood cioppino is loaded with hake, squid, and maybe some clams/mussels. I would not really recommend the cioppino as it seems to be stewed with some of the leftover cuts of fish, but then again, that's really what the intent of a true cioppino is. Nothing wrong with it flavor wise, and it is really a good deal. I've eaten here maybe 2 or 3 times a month over the last 2 years.

I appreciate the hours of operation and have certainly been in there late night. This time, I dined on a Sunday, when the Bloody Mary bar is open and you, the customer is allowed to approach and "build your own BM". I did not drink on this day, rather chose some She Crab soup. It is so creamy and wonderful, it's good for a stomach that's not so great or on a cold day. I started with an appetizer, the Fried Oysters. They were okay, too much hollandaise on them and too much breading on the oysters, but delightful still. Chose the cheeseburger, solid! I really appreciated my server who kept my sweet tea full, and when I wanted "just a bite" of a dessert, she rounded up chocolate pieces from the kitchen.
(4)Christina K.
Love this place! Went back there last week with the boss for lunch. He had the burger which from the crumbs he left on his plate was pretty good! And i had the lump crab berry salad. The service was impeccable, always coming back at the right time, leaving us to talk long enough, etc. When she first brought out the plates, I was so happy with my salad, but once I started eating I realized that the lettuce proportion overwhelmed the berries and what little crab there was. I mean, if I'm paying more than $10 for a salad, please give me more than just fluffed up lettuce ok? I'll definitely go back cause the food is just that damn good. Just won't order the salad anymore!
(4)Aleesha W.
I was a first time vistor last night and Nicole our waitress was awesome! Nicole is very much a people person and she made us feel very comfortable. I will definitely visit again. My food was delicious, Nicole was very attentive to our needs and the atmosphere was great.

Gotta love Dantanna's by the mall. Good food. Great atmosphere. Sports. Alcohol. And hotties everywhere.
(4)Michael B.
After about a year of working across the street from Dantanna's I decided to finally give them a try last week. From first glance after walking in it appears that Dantanna's is an overpriced sports bar, but that is what one would expect next door to Lenox Mall. The prices here are reasonable for the area, and the service and food were great making it worth the money spent. For lunch I asked the server for her recommendations and she suggested the Rubin sandwich, so I went with that. The Rubin was delicious with it tender corn beef on marbled rye with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. The fries that came with the Rubin were just OK; would have been better if they used fresh cut fries that I was expecting from a place like this. Overall, Dantanna's provides a great meal. The food is good and the service is great. I'll be heading back over for lunch soon!
(4)Samantha L.
Over the years, I've passed this restaurant many times. My husband and I finally decided to give this place a try and we keep coming back for obvious reasons. We've ordered the She Crab Soup every time we come here, I think the soup is good, but my husband raves about it! I've had the Wasabi Tuna (rare) with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic spinach - very good dish. I would have really wanted more shiitake-soy glaze on my tuna, but I can live with the way they made it. One of our friends had the Braised Lamb Shank, and he said it was very good. I didn't try it because I don't like lamb. The steaks are also good here, but I've only had it with Dantanna's house dry rub, so I can't really tell you how the sauces are. Overall, our experiences are always good, and I never had a bad experience here, and the service it great, so I will be back.
(4)B A.
Only reason I have it a 2 was the fact they their food wasn't horrid. Another reason I have them a 2 is because they gave me a beer glass with lip prints on it. I will post photo. Don't order the mussels and baked Brie together because you might think your eating the same thing. The fish and chips and burgers are just average or sub par. They do have a nice large selection of beer in bottles not on tap sadly.
(2)James H.
Came here with some friends for drinks after work. Was greeted by a sweetheart named Bre. It was my first time coming here and she made some great suggestions for food and dessert! We ordered some drinks(whiskey,scotch) and a few appetizers. Lobster Lollipops- They were excellent Duck Braised nachos- Need I say more. These were great with loads of duck on them! Short rib stuff peppers.- always a great choice. Main course 18oz ribeye cooked perfectly Pork chop- Was huge and tasted great Venison Burger- The goat cheese was an excellent addition to this burger Dessert...Of course we got the Krispy Kream Pudding. It was pretty large which was great as the three of us shared it. The huge scoop of ice cream on top was a plus. Overall. Bre our server made it a great night. Food was excellent, but prepare to spend some money.
(4)Mary Louise S.
Fabulous food and attentive staff. Had the wasabi tuna and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly! The crab artichoke dip was creamy and full of crab taste. The calimari was delicious and the sauces were a great accompaniment.
(5)Adam Y.
Giant projection screen, the bartender just assuming you want a beer refill, because you do and pouring it and a seat front and center at the bar, priceless. Dantanna's as a pure sports bar gets 5 stars, the main television is a gigantic projection screen hanging over a large bar area, 10ft screen maybe. The large screen is surrounded by multiple small screens playing every game at the moment, ADHD folks will delight in the set up. The reuben sandwich was excellent plenty of 1000 island, loaded with corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut, just a great ratio. The bartender, Steve, gets his own shout out for great service!! Good work Steve, keep the life saving stories coming.
(5)Andrew W.
Pretty good food. Prices seem about right for what we ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. Wait staff seemed like they didn't want us to know the specials, he had to be a speed talker because I caught about half of what he said. I would go back but nicely ask to have them talk a bit more slowly. We are in the south you know.
(4)Greg T.
I eat here a couple of times when I lived in Atlanta and had some very good meals here. I would go back if I was ever in the area.

I can say I enjoy this place. It's nice, not too pricey, the staff is always friendly, helpful and always readily available for any quetsions or concerns. The margaritas are delicious. Their handmade mixer is by far the best I've had in a while at a restaurant! Whether we went on a good day or the bartenders are just on it, the margarita makes the trip from the 'burbs into the city well worth it! I love a rare steak and some places are leery about serving them and want to suggest a medium well steak...Uhh, I understand the health concerns, but I like a rare steak! I can get a steak the way I like it at Dantanna's. I do not smoke cigars but Honey does so we've taken a "look-see" and he has vowed to return to enjoy a cigar and cognac. I will return again, and again!

I like dantanna's, it's a good place to get dinner or drinks, nothing special. My dad would kill me if he knew I wasn't giving it 5 stars since he's basically a regular, but it's not all that spectacular in my opinion. The bar area is huge and has tons of tv's so it would definitely be a great place to watch football games with friends. It does get somewhat crowded however. The dining room area is also really good, and I like the menu. I had the seafood special of the night, I believe it was grouper, and it was really good! Our service was good too, no complaints! Bonus, huge parking lot!

Pricey for the quality of the food. Angus Burger still had some of the hoof in the meat, I spent more time extracting pieces of bone and grizzle out than enjoying the flavor. Fries were old. Beer selection was good but no draft specials. I would recommend going to another place if you have the choice.

The food here was great! Still has that sports bar vibe but won't give you heartburn like those cheaper places.

During a recent outing to Lenox Mall with the family, we decided to break away from the hum-drum restaurants in the mall. As we ventured outside we spotted the sign of Dantanna's across the street. So we all made a mad dash to to it for lunch. We were somewhat earlier [around 11:30am] on a Wednesday and had no problem getting a table. Our waiter was an older gentleman, very helpful but a bit too...well shall we say laid back. He was very straight forward but somewhat lacking enthusiasm. For example, when he mentioned the special for the day he simple said here they are on the daily specials menu. Normally the waiter will read them off with embellishments of mouth water adjectives. But not this time...there it is, read it for yourselves. So we did and guess what...we didn't order any of the specials. But anyway...let's not let the mediocre service ruin the food. So in to the food! For an appetizer we ordered the Crab and Artichoke dip. It was really tasty! There was a generous amount of crab meat and the combination artichoke and cheese was perfect. The only down side was there wasn't enough of it...but it was an appetizer after all. For our entrées my wife ordered the Lump Crab and Berry Salad [Lump Crab, Fresh Berries, and Tropical Fruit over Organic Baby Field Greens, with Raspberry Vinaigrette] along with a cup of the She Crab Soup. My wife thought the salad was wonderful! She loved all the fruit and the crab. She did mention that the Raspberry Vinaigrette had just a bit too much of a honey flavor in it. Now the She Crab Soup...."WOW"! I have to second that wow! I spent a lot of time up in Seattle and this is one of the best She Crab Soups I have ever tasted. The next time I come to Dantanna's I will be sure to order a bowl of it! My daughter and I ordered the Fish Tacos [sautéed fish and shrimp with mango salsa and guacamole]. Now...I have to let you know that I have Fish Tacos at almost every place I decide to eat at...if their on the menu; I order them. So the plate arrives with two tacos rolled up like burritos with a serving of guacamole and some sort of Tzatziki sour cream mixture. Also, there was a small spoonful of the mango salsa placed on top of the two burritos...I mean tacos. Well...they did taste pretty good! They had some spiciness that sneaks up on you. But I have to say...please plate them with a taco holder. I like to put guacamole on my taco....there wasn't any way to do it with out unrolling the taco. Plus the mango salsa was very good...what little there was. Next time please spoon on a couple more spoonfuls. So a bit of constructive criticism to the chef...have one of your Sous-Chefs run over to Lenox Mall and head over to William Sonoma and pick up so taco holders to plate your tacos on. Or change the menu to read "Fish Burritos". Don't get wrong...the entrée was very good...I think the Chef is onto a great dish....the Chef just need to plate it like a taco...so that the guacamole, Tzatziki, and mango salsa can be added to the taco in some sort of logical manner...as to be enjoyed with the taco. Oh, by the way, the tacos are somewhat messy so if you're on a date or trying to impress someone, you may want to pass on these. All and all...the place was a hit. I will certainly go back and at the risk of having something through at me by the chef because I might slip a picture of what a taco holder looks like under the kitchen door.

Another example of how outstanding service can turn a good dining experience into a great one. I used to be a server. In spite of or perhaps because of that fact, I tend to be skeptical of servers that remind me of myself as a server - early twenties, skinny arms, that sort of thing. So I had low expectations for our young, relatively skinny-armed waitress, and she blew me away. As did the helpful attitude I sensed from all the staff at Dantanna's. First, our table for eight was waiting for us when we got there, complete with high chair. The first group of people was permitted to sit at the table before the remainder of the party arrived. I am always extremely pleased with a restaurant when I don't have to wait for stragglers. Second, the server handled the baby situation well. Without being asked, she brought the almost-two-year-old one of those disposable placemats and crayons. The baby's mom asked the server to bring her food out as soon as it was ready, and the server did so, and quite quickly too. Third, when I asked whether the fish tacos could be made without shrimp, she said she thought so but that she would ask. She immediately ran off to ask, and then returned with an affirmative answer. Score! When I asked for a box later, she offered to do it for me, and did so quickly. Fourth, she split the checks without our asking (to my knowledge no one asked), didn't make any mistakes, and was very efficient when running our credit cards. As is probably already evident, I had the fish tacos with no shrimp. They were served with two sides even though the menu suggests you only get one. I picked asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious except for, ironically, the fish. It was too... fishy. It tasted like cheap tuna, but I can't be sure. The desserts looked AMAZING, I'm going to have to go back to try them sometime.

Sports Bar = NO (by Chicago Standards), but fun place for beers, great apps and entrees = YES. We were there on a Wednesday night during the NBA Championship....arrived around 7 (game started at 8) and the restaurant was fairly empty and the bar was 1/2 full (it had been pouring rain)....got a table in the bar and the place slowly filled up. Jephreda provided excellent service through-out the night (even when really crowded) and the food was fabulous! We had the wings as an app (GREAT) and I had the filet (GREAT, GREAT, GREAT). Everyone in Atlanta says this is a sports bar = NO. ONE Big Screen, with 3 smaller screens on each side.....PLEASE come to Chicago to see a sports bar. I will give ATL props for the bar being pretty crowded for the NBA finals......but that is it.....kind of reminds me of Portland and the guys playing a board game during the Trail Blazers playoff game.... Wings HOT (2 @ 9) 18.00 420 Draft (5 @ 4.50) 22.50 Zinf Short Ribs 19.00 (Tom loved these) 420 Draft (4 @4.50) 18.00 Fish and Chips 14.00 (Tony said these were ok) Paulander (4 @ 7.25) 29.00 (excellent beer) 8 oz Filet 28.00 Total - $161.56

Ok, people always laugh at me for this- I always make this my first date place. When a guy asks for suggestions, I mention Dantanna's. Why? If the date goes horribly wrong, at least I can watch some sports in the meantime. My boyfriend and I had our first date here almost a year ago and have been back several times to reminisce. Consistently good food, a great location and an awesome first date place!
(5)Shannan M.
This past Sunday was my first visit to Dantanna's. It was an upscale, cool-looking sports bar with several big screen t.v.'s and a big patio. I ordered the crab and artichoke dip which was actually pretty good! Very rich and gooey...for the main course, i chose the "BCS" burger. No one can mess up a burger, right? Wrong. I was STARVING and I could barely eat 1/2 of it! I ordered it medium, but the middle was more medium rare. My entire bottom bun was soaked in meat juice! Bleh...worst than that, the meat tasted funny. I immediately remembered the "pink slime" phenomenon and promptly pushed my plate back. I probably wouldn't visit Dantanna's again and if I did, I'd stay AWAY from the beef!
(2)Dio S.
This place combines sports bar with a formal surf n' turf. It's pretty unique and convenient. I would say there's slightly more business people on the road in suits here than hipsters, but in any case not your typical sports bar with tons of college kids or locals. It's good for if you want to watch sports and eat more upscale, varied dishes at the same time. Even the late menu retains a lot of the surf n' turf stuff, not just nachos and chicken strips like a lot of places. The food is okay. I hated the philly cheese steak with a passion, but it's a sentiment that I seem to have about a lot of places. The surf n turf dishes are better. Bisque is a little bland. Prices for food is actually quite reasonable consider its location and clientele. Not so reasonable was markup on beers. They carry many good bottled beers, but have a markup that's about 1.5~1.8 times as much as, say, Brick Store a.k.a. beer heaven. Of course, with a cigar lounge on the premise, you might not be drinking beer and opt for the hard stuff instead. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to smoke in a small area and the cigars are marked up badly also. Service is very good. Very comfortable environment and lots of TVs even on the patio. Proximity to prominent Buckhead places. All make up for the problems. Can't say I'm a frequent customer, that's for sure.
(3)Scott P.
The best sports bar on the planet. Big games get there early. Scott is the best bartender ever. He knows the menu like a pro's pro. The food is top notch and so is the service. The outdoor patio is awesome.
(5)Jeffrey C.
Guess what? It was late night on a Tuesday....found myself drinking again with friends...yeah, a Tuesday night. A good buddy and I needed a place with some atmosphere and good food. The Waffle House nearby beckoned.....I shunned it and slipped back to Dantanna's. Was my last trip there a fluke? No, it wasn't. I had another burger...it was delicious. My buddy looked at it and said, "Well, it looks like you ordered the right thing." Oh, yeah, he was right....I was happy. Good little crowd at the bar at 11:30 on a Tuesday. Nice eye candy for both sexes. Surprising note!! You can smoke in the bar late night. Nice for the smoking crowd. If you go, request Frieda....best waitress in the place. !!!
(3)Anonymous P.
LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!! Staff is sooo super sweet and friendly, the service was amazing. Food was phenomenal!!!!!! Had the she crab soup and the tarragon chicken salad.........so so good!!!
(5)Mark F.
It's a nice place. As others note, often I'm alone and sit at the bar for quick service and having other people around. the bartenders here are helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't starved so I went with one of the nightly specials...Jumbo blackened scallops...I thought great....well, you need to know what Jumbo means, not the same as I've always thought....however, the flavor was great, just a little kick and tasty. But I wanted a little more so I got an order of wings....I got the habanero and mango spicy wings. The sauce was good. Make sure you get a glass of water before you start....after 3 wings it starts to hit. But I didn't ask, the wings are naked (not battered nor breaded) and they say they are deep fried, but they were more like broiled-that's not bad if you expect it. I suggest not ordering the fries...kind of soggy. Based on the scallops, I'd go back and try some of the other signature dishes.
(4)Antonis P.
I've been to Dantanna's several times for the bar, which has a great selection. Last night I went there for dinner for the first time and I was really let down by the food. We started with the wings which were fantastically mediocre. They bordered on dry and the sauce was bland other than just being spicy. I (for whatever reason) thought it'd be a good idea to order the Ciopinno. This was a huge mistake. First off I found 1 dead mussel and the mussels that weren't dead were certainly old as they tasted incredibly fishy. The red sauce of the Ciopinno tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed with dish water and the fish, salmon mainly, (nearly half the dish itself) was obviously old as it had gone grey. Our waitress was very nice and allowed me to order something else. I expected the manager to come to my table, but after 30 minutes I had to ask my waitress to go and get the manager. When the manager finally came, she was rude and suggested that after trying the dish herself, she could see nothing wrong with it, suggesting I was to blame for the problem. My father had a steak which was under seasoned but otherwise fine. I will say that their beer selection was quite good. Otherwise, this was a terrible experience and I won't be going back for dinner ever again. Trust me it's only good for the bar.
(1)Jill S.
Visited Dantanna's last night. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Ordered calamari as the appetizer. It was a bit over fried, so a tad on the greasy side. I was disappointed in the sauces that accompanied the calamari of a cocktail sauce and spicy honey mustard or something...let's step it up a bit and offer some champagne aioli, k?! Anyways, the tables are kind of small so we didn't have much room for our 2 drinks, 2 glasses of water, these huge menus, the drink menu, the specials menu, the salt and pepper shakers and the appetizers...yea, that's a lot on a table! I order the Flank Steak Med-well...I should have ordered it Medium. I asked the waiter how they generally cook their steaks, as you know some restaurants cook more on the rare side so you'll up your temperature or more on the well side so you downgrade your temp. Either way, when I asked the waiter he didn't know what the heck I was talking about and said, oh we cook it how you order it. Ok whatever dude. The grilled asparagus was good, couldn't mess that up and the mashed sweet potatoes saved their rating from 2 stars....they were great! My date had the peppered salmon but he was talking about himself so much that he left about half of the fillet on his plate, so not sure if it was good or not.
(3)Dennis P.
Around the corner from my hotel (the W.) Stopped in two subsequent nights. On solo travel, I sat at the bar. The place is dimly lit, and has several mounted TV's with different games. The bartenders are professional and formal. They remember your name and give a firm handshake. Prompt service. The first night I had Wasabi Tuna, rare, with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The food came out lukewarm and I wasn't impressed with the seafood preparation. This IS Atlanta, not really a coastal seafood town. I heard good things about the wings, so I stopped in for a quick bite the next night. I opted for an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger instead, with a baked potato. This time, they redeemed themselves. The burger was delicious, and seasoned pretty well. I wouldn't say this is a good date spot, but definitely a good solo spot or place to watch a game and grab some bar food.
(3)Ali F.
They have a menu more geared towards people who eat red meat and other weird things I only eat chix, fish, turkey so it was limited options for me. The place is nice and always crowded huge tv's for games. I wouldn't go back unless I was just in the area.
(3)Jason S.
Really bad service, it took 10 min just to get a menu and this was a week night. I was seated in bar area so may be different at a table. I called for a manager who changed my server and then they rushed my food out. The sandwich was so-so and the manager didn't comp me anything at all. Not sure I would ever come back but if I did I would sit at the bar, not a table, then I would order a different item. Watch out, some of the items on the drink menu have incorrect prices (my whiskey was $12 not $10 like the menu said). although 2nd server was a lot better, I felt like they were rushing me out the door.
(2)Vonda D.
Dantanna's never gets steak wrong. They are amazing. The brunch dishes like the Eggs Dantanna Style is SO tasty! Their burgers are also really good. Great customer service and atmosphere.
(4)John B.
After my last disappointing review of Dantanna's, I promised the proprietor that I would visit his establishment again for another try. So after work I walked over and had a very nice steak. It was cooked to perfection, medium/rare and was the best steak I have had in a while. I sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. I would recommend this place highly.
(4)Alain L.
This place is nothing, if not consistent. The concept of a higher end sports bar serving a varied menu really works here. The service is good and never "in your face" to rush you, at least that's been my experience. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are staples of, well, consistency. Their dinner specials rival any of the mid-range chains such as Fleming's. I'm surprised they haven't opened other locations.
(4)Constance B.
The food is worth the bill. Everything was delicious and in good portions. The wait staff was extra friendly to our two year old and kept he occupied with crayons, food, and ice-cream. I will definitely bring my out of town guest here. Plus, they turned the game to my hubby's fav team game... Did I mention how good the food is?
(5)Missy B.
Ok, two of my lady friends and I went for a pamper day, at the spa in Buckhead and wanted to go for lunch to someplace we had never tried before so in checking the area using YELP, I found Dantanna's and they had 4 stars. Although getting there on a Saturday being across the street from Lenox mall was a nightmare, literally sitting 15minutes at one light, we finally made it there. It is an upscale type sportsbar with TV's and a separate dining area if you're not into watching a game during your meal. Our server was Andrew who was very polite and seated us and was more than helpful with my fidgity friend who couldn't decide what she wanted :O. We ordered the appetizer crab dip and it was the best crab dip i've had anywhere! The Fried shrimp I ordered was acceptable (I was starving) but I didnt like the tempura style batter on them that just fell off as soon as you cut the shrimp but the taste was good and my garlic mashed potatoes were AWESOME and flavorful. My friends didnt complain about their food and said it was good. Service was pretty fast also but my order came out wrong however the waiter quickly took care of the situation and made it a non-issue! So this place gets 4 stars for good food and service! I will be back, thanks Andrew! We walked in past cigar smoke which was kind of choking but it was outside and i think this is a cigar bar outdoors so won't dock them for that.
(4)Sundance T.
Horrible service...the food was fabulous. Waited over 25 minutes for just our drinks. Service was slow the whole time. Finally ended up getting our bills and they all wrong. They double charged us several times. Also the gave us one bill that said one amount and was charged another amount. No matter how good the food was I would not come back due to the service.
(1)Joe R.
When I first walked in here I was expecting a menu with very high steakhouse prices. Imagine my surprise when I saw a nice selection of items that were in the $10-$20 price range. I ordered a burger and fries. Both were excellent. The only drawback was the wait time between placing our order and getting our food; it seemed a little too long. The waiter was kind enough to break up our bill into six individual checks. I would certainly come back here again.
(4)Greg M.
I came here with my family as my youngest wanted to eat some place she could look out the window and see the Great Tree on Macy's. From the outside, we were expecting a nicer place - this is definately a sports bar - but that's our fault. Sunday night was packed with loud football fans. Despite the noise, we enjoyed the place. Wine was 1/2 off (I guess they do that every Sunday). Crab cakes had ample crab meat and the burgers were suprisingly good. Only let down was a Reuben made with fried tilapia. I love turkey Rueben's, but the tilapia just did not work. The crispy batter is soon made soggy from dressing and kraut. Service was very ample and the menu had some very interesting choices (braised duck nachos!). I would come back.
(3)Peter Y.
I've been coming here recently because I've been watching the NBA Finals again. My first visit here was a while back and I only came to check out the cigar room in the back. As far as that goes, it's got comfy seats, good variety of cigars and a knowledgeable manager who can recommend something if you're not an aficionado. I like the design of the bar area but be warned, during game night it's always packed. Luckily there is ample seating in the dining area although you might not get the best view of the tv's. Beer-wise, they've got the usual selection so not much to rave about there. As for the food, I'm not terribly impressed except with their mango wings. I can take a lot of heat in my food and especially love hot wings...and their mango wings are so spicy I feel like I got kicked in the nuts. Their regular wings are just so-so. All in all, I like Dantanna's. Stick to the wings and you'll be alright.
(3)Ginger G.
Feeling more like a man-lounge, you should still venture here for awesome burgers. And if you need to watch a sports game, consider this a classier establishment in which to view.
(4)Stephanie B.
The WORST customer service ever. Our waiter was rude, criticized what we ordered and told us we needed to order more veggies with our dinner. Took a long time to get our drink menus when we asked about the wine they offered. Has a floss pick fly on to our table hitting our drinks and he didn't even acknowledge the fact that it happened yet everyone else saw. Horrible. If you do go, sit at the bar and avoid Milford as your server at all cost!
(1)Dave M.
Great place to meet for business lunch or dinner. Surf, Turf, Cigars, and Wine. TV's are all over, so be careful if you take a date. She might catch you looking over her shoulder for the score. Sit up front to watch people in the bar which is reasonably hip and happening. Ask for a table in the back for a little more quiet. Or you can always do a stogie and cocktail on the deck...if you're into that kind of thing. Food is good but a little pricey. Service is usually superb.
(4)Aundrea V.
I'm never disappointed by this upscale sports bar. We found it on Yelp and I'm sooo glad. It's a little pricey considering it's a sports bar, but the decor is nice, service is even better and the food speaks for itself. We ordered from the Sweethearts menu (the day before Valentine's Day) and decided on the Suft and Turf. We had 2 6oz filet mignons, lobster tail, and two sides each. We started dinner with THE MOST AMAZING She Crab Soup. It looks like your basic clam chowder but was by far the highlight of dinner. I consider myself a clam chowder connoisseur and that was the most best bowl of clam soup I've ever had. And I live in BOSTON!! Overall everything is delicious. If I could change anything it would be the prices but if that's what I have to pay for great food I'll do it.
(5)Paul S.
I walked into Dantanna's last night with high hopes considering all of the great reviews I've read and heard. The Decor is great... It's upscale sports bar meets raw bar, and steakhouse. We were there for a birthday gathering of 10. With the exception of the horrendous service everything was great. Braised Lamb shanks with Blue Cheese Mash, I was in heaven as I cleaned the entire plate to the last drop of demi glace. My issues lie with the server who took at least 15 minutes for us all to get our first round, completely botched the checks at the end, and just never seemed to be around. I understand parties of several can be pressuring, but we all work in the industry and were equal left disatisfied with the service. Everyones checks were wrong, and he had to go and fix it at least 4 times before we could all be on our way. Overall though I could see the great potential in the restaurant. The food, though a bit overpriced, was all fantastic and received great reviews from everyone at the table. The place is a good mix of class and with several large screen TV's for sports fan carefully placed it could easily transform into a sports bar. I enjoyed my experience, but I would hesitate to take a large group again to the dining room. Maybe next time I'll just sit at the bar or just take only a limited amount of people. ~~~~ After dinner we entered the Buckhead Cigar Bar that can be found along the back wall of Dantanna's. Equipped with a large humidor and several people offering suggestions as well as their knowledge the experience was one to remember. Leather coaches line a narrow room with TV's surrounding each wall. A server comes to take your drink order, and you can stay as long as you want and smoke. The room is actually pretty well circulated as far as air goes, so you're not walking into hazy room of smoke. My friends ordered scotch only to find out that the restaurant/bar was out of most of what the menu had to offer. No Mac 12, or 18 as well as no Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. The birthday girl spoke earlier in the day about how all she wanted was a good scotch and a cigar. It's a friday night at a nice restaurant/bar in the middle of buckhead and you can't provide some of the most commonly requested scotch? Fortunately for me... they had my Guinness so I just smoked and tuned myself out to everything going on around me. I loved the atmosphere provided and would welcome a return visit to the cigar bar.

Dantanna's provides the upscale sports bar atmosphere of a FOX Sports Grill or ESPN Zone without hitting you over the head with the big corporate souvenirs and name brands of the other two. The prices are similar and the viewing atmosphere is comparable, but the food at Dantanna's is typically better than the other upscale sports bars. Dantanna's has one of the biggest TV's I've ever seen in the bar. The picture quality is phenomenal, and it's a good atmosphere to get a group of friends together to watch a game. The staff is good, service is much better here than FOX or ESPN Zone as well. The final touch that puts it over the top versus its competitors is the big patio that overlooks Lenox Mall. True, the view is kind of blah, but outdoor seating with plasma screens so you can still watch sports is a winner with me every time.
(4)Roy L.
I go here frequently because of the location and the good food. Good place to take a date if you want to watch sports on your date. Higher end sports bar that feels like a sports bar and an above average restaurant at the same time. The patio seating with the individual screens are a plus and reminds you that you're not at Hooters. I usually order the steak, which is always good along with the gumbo. The waitstaff is kind of slow, but forgiveable. I sometimes just sit at the bar while eating and watching a game. The bartenders are pretty cool too.
(4)Alexis R.
Dantanna's is great location-wise, but definitely on the expensive side. I'd never order a full dinner there, but drinks tend to be fine and their happy hour specials are great (try the lobster lollipops!). It's ideal for after-work happy hours, and it seats a lot of folks.
(3)Rick M.
Great environment, located in Buckhead district... had their Angus Burger and Cherry Cobbler for desert and can only say that it was fantastic!
(4)Falicia G.
UPDATE I met up with a friend here for a quick drink. It was a midway meeting point. Four stars because the bartender was great. He recommended a wine for me, then let me taste it first. Nice! Also, I didn't get to eat any food but, what I saw looked and smelled great. One thing that I didn't like was that they still allowed smoking inside. We were there for almost an hour smoke free, then a few people lit up and ruined the fresh air atmosphere. Definitely a loss of a star on that one, which leaves Dantanna's with three stars. --- Already a little tipsy off that DiSarrano, I headed here with my girl friends to have some fun. One of my girls was having a "Waiting To Exhale" moment so, she wanted to get out of the house. Dantanna's ended up being our choice because pretty much everything was closed. It's a nice location. The bar area is pretty large and spacious and the bartender was cool. He was attentive and knew how to pour the drinks. The rest of the restaurant I didn't get to check out because my butt was glued to the bar. As the night progressed, people started smoking. Yuck! The ventilation system must have been broken because it stunk. Otherwise, this is a cool spot. Not pretentious, just laid back.
(3)Joel D.
I've been to Dantanna's several times for happy hour and always had a good time. Upscale enough to feel comfortable in work attire, but a good vibe for unwinding and plenty of tvs to catch sports scores. I recently ate lunch here and was impressed. I had the burger, but the star was the fries. Crispy and tasty!
(4)Casey G.
I go to Dantanna's a lot in the fall to watch football, so this review is for the bar. I would say they have better food than most other sports bars (the gumbo is pretty good!). Bartenders are super friendly people. It does tend to get crowded, though, for big games...so plan ahead!
(4)MickE S.
I had one of the most OUTSTANDING dining encounters at this establishment with a girlfriend of my a few weeks ago! For a Saturday afternoon of non-stop shopping in Lenox Mall, it was a PERFECT way to end the day! She dined on the Cowboy Ribeye w/Dantanna Rub, sauteed spinach, followed by the peach cobbler (to DIE FOR), and I had the NY Strip w/Dantanna Rub as well, garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus, followed by the red velvet cheesecake by Joshua Johns, who is infamously featured on The Food Channel (and NOW I see WHY!). With the food being of organic fare, the additional sauces actually detracted from the natural marinade of the tenderized meat, which was cooked to ABSOLUTE perfection! The menu in itself was SO very impressive, but our waitress, Allison, and her knowledge of the wine list and overall customer service deserves an EXTRA KUDOS! A DEFINITE reason to visit this restaurant on ANY occasion, and WELL worth the money! Conveniently located to the majority of ALL of the shopping malls and districts of the coveted downtown Atlanta experience, with MORE than enough parking if you time your visit right! I would DEFINITELY include this restaurant as one of the MUST-VISIT spots to hit when in-town for a weekend or entertaining and impressing out-of-town guests for lunch or dinner!
(5)Shalin P.
I've never eaten here but have come here often to have a few beers and watch the game. I really like the atmosphere here- a nice upscale sports bar but doesn't seem stuffy or trendy. The huge main wall TV is awesome too. They also have one of these cool looking simulated screens that seems to be suspended in the air. It also seems to be a big Boston Red Sox bar, which is always a bonus.

Expect great service, wonderful cajun chicken egg rolls and Krispy Kreme bread pudding that will dissolve in your mouth. The wine and beer selection was impressive and reasonably priced. The disappointment came when the roasted lamb sandwich arrived. It was chewy and may have been marinaded in rotten fish.

So, this was my first virginal experience to Dantanna's, and I have to say, I didn't like it. Accompanied by a co-worker, we decided to go somewhere we never been, and well, not to give our hard earned money to a chain restaurant. First of all, the don't order a burger if you're hungry. Thinking I was going to get a mouth watering, burger I could sink my teeth in, I only was served half portion. Come on, seriously, who eats just half a burger?! Were they trying to tell me to watch my cholesterol or something? Secondly, DO NOT get the Asian Chicken Salad! It is full of the thick, yellow iceberg lettuce, unflavored chicken, and a very pungent teriyaki sauce. Let's just say, I'm glad I didn't pay for lunch. My meal wasn't worth it.

I dined here with a group of people on a Monday afternoon prior to the Saints vs Falcons Monday night game. Everyone liked their entrees. I really enjoyed my crab salad. We sat at the bar and the bartender wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't the worst... I would def go back and think it would be a great place to watch sporting events!

I am definitely a fan of Dantanna's, it a upscale sports bar right next door to Lenox mall. It's a great Happy Hour spot, it is always busy with a good mixed crowd. It's an excellent spot to catch sporting event's especially when it is Football/Basketball season, it is great for college and pro sports the place is always packed on the weekends with fans. The Food is pretty good their seafood is good too, they have a fresh seafood bar with everything you can imagine. I enjoy their burgers a lot, well you can't really go wrong with it plus when i am drinking i rather eat something that will absorb the alcohol rather than eat something that will not absorb much and then you will see me failing on my butt and making a fool of myself. Another thing that is pretty cool about this place is that they have a 300 foot walk in Cigar lounge, with decent selection of cigar's. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bar with good food and a sophisticated crowd.

The name after "Dantannas" perfectly spells it out for you... SPORTS BAR, STEAK AND SEAFOOD. They have a sports bar on one side with huge tv's and the "normal" dining area on the other side. The dining area also have tv's so you don't miss out on whatever is on. The food is good for the price and setting. It's a sports bar, you can't expect much. Lots of fried foods, salads, and steak. Service was great. There wasn't too much to choose from the seafood section though.
(3)Jacob M.
Not much bad you can say. Diverse American options. Affordable. Great TVs good atmosphere.
(4)Kara G.
I'm gonna give this place a no. The vibe is cool great little spot to stop and have a drink or whatever as a first date ice-breaker. The food, well it wasn't great at all. In fact I thought it was a little bit bad. I had the rosemary chicken with sweet mashed potatoes and asparagus. All bland, all average. For the price it just wasn't worth it. And to top it off not one hottie in the bar just a bunch of old horny, married white men, looking for a piece of chocolate. I'll pass next time.
(2)Talib K.
I don't go here much, but when I do, the bartender always remembers me and talks to me like I was just there a few days ago. There's nothing particularly special about this place, but the service I've received has always been top notch. That always worth many return visits. I guess I'm showing my age. The older you get, the less important price and ambiance become, and the more important service becomes. The food is okay, the ambiance is okay, and the smoke can be heavy late night, but the service (at the bar) is great.
(3)Sara S.
they are expensive. i went there for wine and dinner and to catch a good game a few weeks ago and was charged an extra $2/glass for my wine. i didnt notice it until after i had left- but it definately left me with a bad taste in my mouth. i feel as if there is a bit of an identity crisis going on here between the seafood (which is good, don't get me wrong), bar- cigar area- tvs only in the bar area- outdoor seating- and the claim to be an "upscale" sports bar. but its good. they have good food, good service, and you pay extra for both. their wine list is not impressive, and very overpriced. expect to pay no less than $50/person when you go here.
(3)Elena S.
I have always loved Dantanna's. Its always been that type of place that you can go to on a date and have a nice time in the dining room, you can go after a date just to have some drinks and it is also that place that you can watch the game or have a nice happy hour. Dantanna's is all of this. They have wonderful bartenders and chefs. I have to go again but the last time that I went to Dantanna's was a little off, maybe because it was during the week, but I was not impressed. The only thing that was good our trip was the server and the drinks. The regular menu was closed so the only thing that was available was the bar/late night menu and that was only full of bar food. I got the chicken Cesar wrap and my friend got the chicken finger app. My wrap was hard and dry. It came with Romaine Lettuce but this wrap only had the core inside the wrap and that disgusting and completely ruined the expected texture of the sandwich. I could have returned it to the kitchen, but I had already torn it apart to figure out what was so hard inside. The chicken nugget app was decent and the drinks were good. It was a Wednesday night and the only thing that was on was College Basketball. I enjoy Dantanna's it's a dependable place in the Buckhead area that you can always depend on for fun whether on a date or with the girls. It's dependable if you are heading out or winding up the night. I will definitely be back.
(4)Tracy P.
2 Strongbow Dry Ciders, a Rocky Patel Java, and College Football on the patio all on a beautiful Saturday! The perfect place for a getaway from the 'burbs!
(5)Deanna J.
The sports bar theme here is so understated, I barely noticed it until reading Rebecca O. and J.D.'s reviews. We went to Dantanna's during lunch, and walking into the interior immediately brings a soothing quality - thanks to the dark woods and probably helped by the freezing temperature. The large space has seating options that run the gamut from restaurant to bar area (great spots for viewing the giant sports-playing televisions) and covered patio (where we chose to sit, despite the monsoonlike thunderstorm). Well respected for their seafood and steaks, the dinner menu prices would reserve this for me as a 'special occasion' place. Lunch, however, has some strong choices in the $10 - $15 range; I got the 'freuben' - fried tilapia, cabbage slaw, Swiss cheese & Russian dressing. It was fantastic. Greasy, but fantastic. Though the menu says sandwiches come with fries or potato salad, the waiter said any side item can be substituted. Garlic mashed potatoes. Good. Not a shocker since they bill themselves as a 'Surf 'n Turf' restaurant, but vegetarians will find the menu here a challenge. If carnivorous friends drag you here, try the portabella quesadilla or spinach salad. Or just drink lots of beer. I didn't visit, but apparently there's also the Buckhead Cigar Lounge at Dantanna's, complete with smoking lounge and leather sofas. This versatile restaurant is comfortable and works if you need a spot for a wheelin' dealin' business dinner in Buckhead, a place to watch the game or celebrate with a giant amount of steak and seafood. Or even just somewhere to lunch and dish about your coworkers.
(4)Chris H.
Great food, Huge Bar, lots of TV's, actually putting on games people want to watch and not the owners of a restaurant want to have on. Really can not beat this place.
(5)Richard G.
I love restaurants that are consistent and Dantanna's is consistently good. Great fish dishes and always good sides. Reasonable prices. Service is usually good but slipping a little lately. Last couple of times we were in - the waiters seemed absent. But the food makes up for it and the hostess is usually very welcoming. If you are near Lenox Mall hop over (just behind the Westin Hotel). Really great place for a very nice lunch without breaking the bank.
(4)Wendy K.
awww.. so yummy.. so very very yummy.. Drinks...perfect.... they pour heavy towards the end of the night.. Really awesome private party place.. We had the whole place to ourselves.. sooo much fun.. I love the outside area....
(5)Tina W.
I've had an awesome meal here and two alright meals. The wait staff is either hilarious and professional or totally standoffish and bothered, depending on the night.
(4)Russ G.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't like going into a bar to be ignored by the entire wait staff for nearly a half hour, finally ordering a drink, getting it fifteen minutes later, realizing it's as watered down as a rainstorm, then finding said drink cost more than a good steak at some places. This place is the most overrated bar I've ever been to, and if wasn't for the invite from a good friend I wouldn't have bothered going. Having gone, I'll say I won't ever go again. If the horrible service, outrageous prices, and cheap use of liquor doesn't turn you off, consider that the place is a swimming pool full of yuppie douchebags with too much money and not enough sense. It's like a really bad J Crew catalog.
(1)Amy V.
The girls and I hit Dantanna's for our March dinner club. Dantanna's is an "up scale" sports bar. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and helpful. There we so many dishes that looked good that it was really hard to choose. I ended up ordering the lobster/scallop risotto. It was creamy and the seafood was perfectly cooked. (even heated up the next day) I also tried a bite of the battered shrimp. The batter was light and fluffy and the shrimp was juicy. I liked having the option of continuing the evening on the bar side without having to leave or sit at our table. Heading to the bar for "one more" is always a plus. I also love the outside patio and would not mind heading back for a game and drink when it gets warmer.
(4)Scott M.
I have heard about this spot forever, and finally was able to make a trip over. Sports is big here, and they have a healthy crowd during most football games. The service was decent, but the food was blah, I think i had the calamari and some type of little steak appetizer....good, but not great. I cant say its one of the most comfortable spots to watch the game either. Maybe its better during the summer when you can sit outside...I'd give it another shot..
(3)Kevin P.
This may be a good place to have a beer and watch a game but if you are expecting a nice dinner I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I had a fatty flat-iron steak and the waiter didn't seem to care too much. He offered to get me something else but by that time it had been too long of a wait. The prices are high and they seem to want to differentiate themselves from the average sports bar but my experience was that you are just paying more and not getting good food. Too bad - - we had driven by many times thinking it would be a cool place.
(2)T I.
A coworker gave me a gift card to Danatanna's that was about to expire. I hate losing out on anything so "sweets" and I decided to give it a shot, after all its free. The calamari was incredible and the grit cake was a nice touch with the hurricane shrimp. Nice bar-- I will be back.
(4)Dee W.
I've only been to Dantanna's once, and I became a fan. I had a burger which was really good, one of the best that I've had in a long time!
(4)Evan J.
Wow, great food! I especially enjoyed the deep fried, blue-cheese stuffed artichoke hearts. Damn, those are good. I'm deducting one star for the sports bar atmosphere. Too many TVs turned up too damn loud. Otherwise, it's a good place and we enjoyed everything.
(4)Javier O.
The class and sophistication of Morton's meets ESPN zone. This was highly recommended by a bar tender at the Ritz-Carlton. The self proclaimed premier surf and turf sports bar in Atlanta definitely served up a better than expected meal while I caught up on some needed Thursday night Football on their crystal clear HD Plasma TV's. I am surprised this combination never crossed my mind. Everything from mahogany walls to the bar set up and patio made this a truly remarkable eating experience. The lamb chop with sweet mashed potatoes was phenomenal! Luckily San Francisco does not have something similar to offer, otherwise, I could see myself living and working to sustain my lifestyle with Dantanna's
(5)Rebecca O.
If you're an avid reader of my reviews (which I highly suggest if you're not) you're aware of my impending boredom when forced to watch sports. However, if I must be surrounded by sports fans and watching a game, I want to be at Dantanna's. The food is far more upscale than at most other sports bars, and the TV screens are big, which means you can see them while sitting happily at a table -- you don't have to cram your body into a crowd at the bar, although plenty of people do that anyway. Food choices range from surf and turf to a Reuben sandwich, salads and onion rings. Friendly to all tastes.
(4)Darrel M.
Excellent place for happy hour and lunch. I take business associates to this location on a regular basis.
(5)Jason W.
My parents came into town for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday we decided to try Dantanna's. We were extremely impressed. The food was outstanding, and we had an amazing waiter, Lloyd, who was quick with a joke and had a wonderful personality. The food was cooked extremely well and the service was lighthing quick and very attentive.
(5)Jennifer M.
Reservations? Yes. Restaurant open at time of reservation? NO!!! We made reservations for Mother's Day brunch, which were confirmed by the restaurant via a phone call the Friday before. Between Friday and Sunday, the restaurant decided to open later than our reservation time, yet they neglected to alert us. We showed up an hour before opening, and rather than serve us, the manager offered us coffee while we waited for the restaurant to open. Ridiculous! Especially when one of our party has diabetes and needed to eat at the time of our reservation. The manager did not even offer us anything free (other than the coffee), and gave us coupons only when asked. I will not be going back! Clearly this place is very poorly managed. I would hate to see what the food is like.
(1)S L.
My coworker and I usually come here for lunch because the food is excellent here and it's close to our work. Though the service is pretty slow and not exceptional, but since the food is decent enough to bring us back. Unfortunately, today will be the end of my returns to Dantanna's in Buckhead.... First, our waitress, Jennifer, not only had a poker face on as soon as we got there, she took 3 out of our 6 orders wrong. When we informed her that the orders that came were wrong, she insist that we ordered it incorrectly WITH AN ATTITUDE. BTW, I ordered a full size burger with a cup of soup, and she thought it was a 1/2 sandwich and soup combo... 1/2 burger came out. The 1/2 burger looked so pitiful. i should have taken a picture of it so i have proof. My other co-worker's "crabcake slider" came out with the bread as hard as crouton. We joked that we can use them as Frisbees. On top of the hard as rock bread, my coworker also ordered a full sandwich and a cup of soup but only 1/2 of the order came out. I decided to send my overly cooked (probably under the heating lamp for too long) pitiful burger back and she came back and told me that i should order a medium rare. Fine... if that's how the chef believes... i am not going to argue. But I can guarantee you that the first 1/2 burger was overcooked. My other coworker ordered a beer battered fried shrimp with a side salad. A full size salad came out when everyone's entree came out, but the waitress completely forgot my coworker entree order. GAH.... and when we looked at the bill, she charged 1 full size salad, 1 order of fried shrimp, and 1 crabcake ($18) instead of 1 crabcake slider ($15) . Why should we pay for her mistake. When I brought this to her attention, she gave us the attitude of "what now". I decided not to bring is to her manager at the restaurant thinking it would have been better if I don't ruin other patron's lunch. When i call and asked for the manager, a person named, Jake or Jay answered the phone basically asking me what do I want from him. He told me that NO ONE orders a whole sandwish/burger with a cup of soup. That it is not the on the menu. Really, so what did I ordered that's not on the menu? Enlight me! When I told him that it seemed no one in this restaurant seem to own it up to their mistake (including him), he told me he is the owner Dantanna's and he cooked my burger. REALLY, you really should train your staff better and seriously not to give attitudes when mistakes have been pointed out to you. We did not ask to get compensated, we just don't want to spend $200 and get super pissed at lunch. The moral of this lunch is no matter how good the food is, bad service (and customer service) can ruin everything. Sorry Dantanna's, we will never be back.
(1)Matt W.
Great meal with a better waitress (thank you Megan!). Gumbo is always a good app but glad we tried the Key West style buffalo wings! Fish tacos are served enchilada style which was disappointing despite being tasty. Going to get the bread pudding next time.
(4)Foodie Buddha F.
I do not have that much to say about Dantanna's. It is yet another mediocre attempt at an Atlanta seafood restaurant. If you have deep pockets (or don't care about the cost/quality ratio), then you will find this to be an acceptable spot. Nothing here is horrible, but nothing here is a shinning culinary masterpiece either. I would say it is best for watching a game or for meeting with the peeps after work. That said - I've usually found the place to be heavy on the sausage (if you catch my drift). The food is consistent and the service never seems to drop below passable or go above decent. Speaking specifically to the food - the menu is a bit disjointed and prices are on the high side. They are technically a "Surf & Turf" spot - so that might contribute to their inability to deliver a streamlined concept. The best thing is the raw seafood platter (if memory serves me right - it runs around $20/person) and none of their other appetizers are particularly noteworthy. Dantanna's fry batter is fairly non-descript and bland. Not surprisingly, the chefs do not appear to be familiar with anything outside of salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and oil. When they try and get fancy, they fail miserably. They stock decent quality product - though for the price you pay, I'd call it highway robbery. Their lump crab and avocado sandwich comes in at $14. I would say it's worth about half of that. Bottom line, there isn't anything here you cannot find a better alternative for somewhere else in the city.
(3)Nicolas L.
Plenty Of T.V.s and pretty darn good food, I was pleasantly surprised it really feels like they took the best of both worlds with a bar and a classy restaurant. I've been here quite a bit and i've liked everything for the most part the burgers and chops are really good
(4)Eugene H.
pretty average food for the price. the service was also exceptionally slow considering the place wasn't too busy when we stopped by here. nothing special, but if you got time to kill, it's worth a try to stop by for lunch.
(3)Matthew W.
So this place is like an upscale sports bar. Has a huge patio with lots of TV's, drink prices are reasonable, great service, some attractive servers. The bartenders are quick and make great drinks. Food is pricy but there are a few modest priced food items but prepare to spend some cash if you eat a lot like me. Inside look has a lot of wood, think Anchorman Ron Burgundy move- rich mahogany and leather bound books except you want find books there. They have a humidor room to which you can buy a cigar from a pretty big selection of cigars and have a room by the humidor where you can smoke your cigar with other cigar smokes and chill as well if you dont want to smoke it on the patio.
(4)T. Murray -.
his is another venue that has been 3 different things in the past 8 years. When I was in college this was home to Benigan's, a bar and restaurant where a couple of my classmates made extra cash. Then it became Monty's and I was really sad to see this one go. The stone crab claws were to die for and the bartenders and manager were the best. Now it is Dantanna's, which to me is almost a mix of the two former residents. It is a seafood restaurant that wants to have other options as well. I liked my food but I wasn't overly impressed. The one thing I will commend the new owners on is putting in more TV screens to give this place a more upscale sports bar look and feel. As a stand alone restaurant with no inside entertainment, this venue just couldn't seem to find it's niche. Now at a minimum, Dantanna's can contend with the bar crowd at nearby Clubhouse.
(3)Michael C.
I have been coming here for a while and the best food items are the burgers with a side of their own bbq sauce and the quesadillas because of the different red tortillas they use. Its also good to watch games in the bar area but if the crowd is to big, you cant even think about getting a seat. Overall cool place to hang and the only true sports bar in buckhead.
(4)Jennifer G.
I keep going back thinking its going to get better but I've been 3 times now and have been disappointed every time. I'm sure its great for "game days" and bar food but there are too many good restaurants in Buckhead to go here. The SheCrab soup is way too thick with no flavor, the steak salad was completely dried out and the dessert I had (with a muffin I believe?) was literally hard as a rock. Service and atmosphere were both good however the food is what makes a restaurant I believe.
(2)Jay P.
I have pretty much been impressed with Dantanna's each time I have been. I got the mahi special last Friday night and it was excellent! The apps are good especially the beef carpaccio. I highly recommend the lamb shank, one of the best shanks around Atlanta and I know my shanks!
(4)Kednerlin D.
This place was ok. Went there to watch some NCAA. Lots of people there, a little more upscale sports bar. The food was not bad.
(3)Rachel S.
My husband and I have eaten at Dantanna's on several occasions. The food has always tasted fresh and delicous, with one exception the bread. We didn't care for the bread. As for the desserts, they still have the Jack Daniels cake on their menu which isn't served anymore according to one of the waiters. However, the banana dessert is very good.
(4)Ric T.
Came here on a sunday afternoon, place was packed & loaded with NFL fans, especially in the bar area along the right side when you walk in. On this particular day it seemed everyone in here was a pitiful Bears fan(seriously expected Farley and his cohorts from SNL to show up). Ended up getting a table in the back of the bar with a direct view of the giant projector screen along with that of a fairly hot waitress who looked liked one you would find on milfhunter.com .. Definitely would go back just to have her as my server next time. Friendly wait staff brought us over a strong batch of drinks and some decent appetizers. Order the seafood entrees if you go here, the burger my date ordered was mediocre and nothing to brag about. Drinks were strong and in heavy glasses, bloody marys and pints seemed to be the steady stanby for most the finished(read..fat people) patrons of this establishment. Huge wine list and a nice selection of both domestic & Import beers. Very cool place to watch a game, crowd was a mixed bag of 20-40 years olds. No annoying kids or overly crazy football fans either made for a nice place to catch a game. This is definitely a good spot to go watch the game with your Broad. Also seems like a quick and easy place to bring your mom or even granny for a early dinner.
(3)Style d.
If you do not get the lamb then don't talk to me. Ohh its good. Its really really good. I don't go in for the sports bar part, but you barely notice unless you are looking for it. I like that I don't have to fight so hard to get my husband to go out someplace 'nice' when I mention Dantanna's. I have had at least one bad experience there so I can't give it a 4 or 5. If I only reviewed the lamb it would be a 7. Yes, it really is that good. Stop reading reviews and just go. And if I am wrong then write your own review. Deal?
(3)Manny F.
3 words: Pork chop heaven! If it was not for the bartender Joey, I'd definitely have walked out; he's probably one of the most courteous in the business and truly treats his patrons with respect and timely service. The La Creme Pinot Noir pairs well with the organically raised pork and a definite must have; this meal was close to the one I had in Chicago. I don't usually rave about Pork chops unless when I have a good time. Beware of laptop totting women that are socially challenged and have "bad energy" - observations from my time watching the game. There was many nice people having a good time, mostly yuppies :)
(5)Tena J.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a sports bar with class and just an all around great place if you wanna stop in to have a few drinks, sit on the patio to watch a game or take your pops out for dinner and finish up with a cigar in the back. I can't say that I've had a bad meal at this place. The blackberry ribs are to die for, lamb shank IS awesome and blue cheese mashed potatoes? Yummm. I personally enjoyed the chicken wings and I'm a chicken wing nut, crispy and hot, just like I like them. And service? For me? Always fantastic. This place gets crowded on the weekends so you might want to call ahead if going during dinner rush.
(4)C G.
Cough, cough. We stopped in for a bite during a College Football Game. Cough cough...... cigarettes and cigars cough cough was my impression.
(2)J. D.
Dantanna's is a very different animal than your average neighborhood sports bar. Gone are the framed jerseys and random home town bric-a-brac. In their place you will find tasteful decorations, calm lighting (no neons), and top of the line projection televison images. the menu reads more like a fine steak house than a sportsbar. Most of the dishes are executed very well. They have a big variety here, everything from lobsters to aged steaks. Other complex dishes include lamb shanks, crab legs, and some nice salads. you can still order a burger or wings as well. the bar fills up quickly on big game days, but the dining room reamains surprisingly comfortable. I think of Dantannas as more of a neighborhood restaurant than an actual sports bar, because to be quite honest this isn't the best place to watch a game--it is however a great place to eat, drink and meet with friends. Parking is free in the around Lenox Lot, do not however leave your car in that lot to go across the way to Lenox mall as your car will be booted within minutes upon you doing so. Look out for the white "rapist van", he is looking out for you to boot your ride!
(4)Michael K.
This is not only a great sports bar wth plenty of energy, but the food here is great as well. Th service is really nice and quick and the waiter that I had was he nicest guy. Good dessert recommendation and he even sat down with me for a second to talk. Very friendly. The appetizer salad that I had was really tasty, as it had so many different flavors with the sweetness of the fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) and tropical fruit to the other flavors of the mixed greens, tomatoes and crab meat. Very delicious. The entree was a special for the night that was was chamazing with pecan crusted pan seared halicut cheeks with sides of mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus with also a side of sauteed spinach. I love my greens. The dish was a hefty portion, but so good. The combo of sweet potato with the halibut made for a killer taste. For dessert, the waiter said that the bananas or the peanut butter mousse cake were the best so I went with the mousse cake just becaue he said it was addicting. It was goo but not the best dessert I've ever had. Very good though. I'll have to get the bananas next time. There are televisions everywhere with plenty of noise abound. There was about a twenty minute wait but that's fine with me. I walked some college football and baseball while waiting. Those crazy Red Sox. TVs everyweher so no worries there. This is great for a night out with some buddies or for a business pow-wow. Enjoy. It's hard to find, but right behind the Lenox Mall on the first left on Peachtree after the mall. Surprisingly, priced very well for what you get.
(5)Tammy B.
I've never written a review on yelp... I felt I had to on the experience my team had at Dantanna's recently. I took a team of 9 for dinner and it was the most crazy experience. The waiter was polite but are drinks orders where incorrect through out dinne, the food was not cooked as requested and there was a dead roach under our table. I brought all this to the attention of the manager and it was taken as oh "sorry, really" I'm sorry. I was shocked. I plan large numbers of dinners in the Alpharetta area, mid town area and downtown. I've never experience what happened at Dantanna's. Sad and I will pass this along to my other meeting planners in the area. Get it together Dantanna's in Buckhead!!!!!
(1)Chris Z.
Felicia was my waitress. Cute, spunky... and had that 'it' factor. The place itself is like a man cave (at least the bar area). I watched a world cup game and had a piece of salmon and a salad. The food was good, the drinks were fine. One complaint is that the happy hour menu didn't really interest me. Not a great choice of foods or drinks.
(4)Mike S.
Dantanna's is a pretty solid establishment and a staple for sports bars if you have time to kill between meetings. I always sit in the bar, normally because it brings about two things: shenanigans and good calamari. The tuna is also good if you can get it; I couldn't last Friday for a late lunch. Instead I went for oysters, a pretty average KY Bourbon ale, and a [Moscow] mule that was more ice than anything. The oysters were good by themselves but the vinaigrette should've been left in the back. Keep it simple.. Horseradish, maybe cocktail sauces and Tabasco. Also I had a Thai beef wrap that was actually pretty damn good for something only Thai in name.
(3)D D.
Awful service! Mediocre food, decent atmosphere. Do NOT order the crab and artichoke dip! It tasted like soup out of a can before you add milk to make "she crab" soup. Yuck! I believe our "server" is really a busboy who took pity on us because we never received a waiter. He passed us 4 times without asking us if we needed anything. The absolute worst. This place seems to be a restaurant out of convenience because of its late night hours and bar. We will NEVER return to this place when we come to Atlanta.
(1)Anisha W.
Great place to sit back and eat. Only irk was outside patio has smoking area than flows into non smoking area.
(4)Anjanetta W.
Today was my first time visitng the place for a conference meeting. I think they need a sign pointing to where the place actually is located, but I found it. The place itself is nice. I think the decor is cool and the patio seemed nice. I feel that the choice that I made was not too great. The fish and chips were basically bland and not a great choice at all. It seemed as though some of the other meals delivered to our tabe had more appeal. So my plate was yuck! I plan to re visit for another update, but no Fish and Chips for me.
(2)Karen H.
I vacilated between a 3 star and 4 star review on this one. I find myself at Dantanna's about once a month for some reason or another, and I've had a variety of experiences. Note: we almost always sit at the bar - so I can only really rate the service there. The Good: Super friendly bartenders who really seems to care if you're enjoying yourself. They're pretty knowledgeable about beer, a little less so about wine. I'd say 3/4 of the food I've had there is solid - the seafood specials are usually a good bet. Bonus that it's usually busy but not so slammed that you can't get a seat, and it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The So-So: The other 1/4 on the food side. Strange shrimp on a stick a few weeks ago, andI find the peppered salmon to be over-seasoned (though I'm a fan of letting a great piece of meat speak for itself). One visit they had a shrimp and oyster appetizer that was generous and awesome, another we got about 8 shrimp that were just okay. In general though, it's a fairly solid option for a low-key dinner for us.

They have a great cigar bar in the back. Dantanna's is a great place to go and watch games, catch up with friends or just have a relaxing evening at the cigar bar. They have great steaks and I absolutely love their tuna. The service is great and really go that extra mile to try and make sure that you are happy. if you order a Moscow Mule make sure you request it to be served in a copper cup, it makes all the difference.

I came here for lunch with my coworkers on a Thursday afternoon. We ordered our food around 12:20pm and got our food at 1:10pm. I understand that it was during lunch peak hours in Buckhead. There were three big parties at the restaurant but two tables ordered their food after us. So it's still not acceptable to take 50 minutes to get our lunch for party of six. Not to mention the service was terrible. Our waitress did not apologize for the long wait, she did not stop by for more water (until we requested), did not ask if we needed anything. When I made my order, I asked for the salad dressing choices. She responded to my request with, "What do you WANT?". The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the food was okay. I ordered the grilled salmon sandwich. It was on the blend side but with the mustard it was decent. However, the salmon was bit dry. Overall, okay food and worst service. I would not come back here.

The crab cake was really good. The only thing is there were little pieces of crab shell in it I crunched on one. The bartender replaced it and the second one was just as good with no shells so that was a one time thing. The bartender was a little sloppy. It was not busy so I was disappointed with that. I stopped at the two crab cakes because I was full but I will be back to try one of their famous burgers later this week

The Krispy Kreme bread pudding is the bomb!!! We came back a second night during our stay in Atlanta just for the bread pudding. We loved being able to enjoy an after dinner cigar on the outdoor patio. As for Denise. Awesome waitress.

First time visitor, I decided to take my BF who lives out of state and is somewhat of a sports bar devotee and aficionado. We loved it! We sat at the bar; our server Dante was friendly, attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. We were surprised to learn later that he was a trainee, that's how good he was. The food with one exception was delicious. The appetizer, braised duck breast with gnocchi melted in the mouth. My drink, a Moscow Mule was so refreshing so I had 2. My spinach salad was so good. The only disappointment was my boyfriend wanted to introduce me to oysters--they were horrible. And that's not because I'm a novice--my BF who's eaten lots & lots of them over the years, agreed. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely return. Nice touch: the manager Eric came out and introduced himself to us too.
(4)Aaron C.
Service is terrible if you are not a local. They are slow to service you. Bartender spends more time talking to the regulars. Having long in-depth conversations. He was looking at his cell phone instead of seeing who needed service. Looks like a Cush job to me. With so many hotels in walking distance you would think they would cater to the business visitors as well. Place was practically empty when I was there. Very disappointed. I visit Buckhead often. Last time at this place. Poor management.
(1)Aysha C.
As a frequent traveler to Atlanta; Dantanna's is my go-to place for a great Creekstone burger or steak. Dantanna's is a great place to watch the game and grab a delicious burger. Overall - great service and good food!
(4)Danielle J.
So as I hate football, a sunday was perhaps not the best day to go when we were in town, visiting atlanta....however, the build your own bloody bar is FANTASTIC!! Very sports bar-ish, but has outdoor seating, nice servers, and did I mention the amazing bloody mary bar on weekends?!?
(4)Asia J.
The ONLY reason I am giving them any stars is the Ciopinno! It was huge and absolutely delicious. It comes with a huge bowl of pasta so after we ate the huge pieces we mixed the smaller seafood with the pasta to take home. I would come back just for that. HOWEVER if I go to a steakhouse I expect the steak to be amazing. I got the cowboy steak and I asked for it medium and it was medium-well/ some pieces well done. It was chewy and it wasn't seasoned that well huge disappointment.
(3)Ella S.
Went here for dinner last night. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant, the one right next to the cigar room and if it was up to me, I would've requested another one. Our server, a tall African-American guy was super nonchalant. His demeanor was of someone who was very unbothered. We never even got asked if we wanted water! Someone else had to ask us if we wanted more cocktails and even then, they took another 10 minutes to arrive. For the price you pay, you'd think the service would at least be on par but No. Definitely won't be back.
(2)Dano R.
Great atmosphere with a solid and diverse menu. Sports bar feel with quality food including salads, oysters, wings, sandwich's , etc. Lively bar with an open air patio that's great for those beautiful afternoons and nights.

Yesterday, we wanted something "different" for lunch (translation- not one of the places we visit all the time) and the Boy wanted meat. So I threw out a bunch of ideas and he picked Dantanna's. I hadn't been in a long time and other than the ordeal of getting there - the 2 mile drive I have!- thanks to a lane being closed on Peachtree for God knows what reason, it was an excellent experience. (The traffic situation is not, of course, Dantanna's fault, just had to mention it - also, note that the company that owns the building they're in is re-facing the whole thing so while it looks like a construction zone, D's is still fully up and running just with only one side of their stairs open!). Anyway, it was a great lunch. I have in general (except for a couple blips per my previous reviews) always liked their food. Turns out that our bartender - I love to sit at their bar as it is such a cool shape and is good for a single diner, a couple or even a group - was Gigi, who knew the Boy from years ago at another restaurant. She was awesome!! We were definitely hungry so we started with the awesome chicken egg rolls, which are my fave version of this item anywhere in town- so well flavored, no black beans (I do not dig) and not stridently/trying to be "spicy" as some places try to advertise. And while I've had many a burger at Dantanna's (fully endorse them, btw) it was a day for steak, specifically the 8oz (or maybe 10, can't remember) filet - we got it to share with asparagus and fries. The steak was delicious. I always love their asparagus and fries so this whole meal was perfect. It wasn't too crowded - some wine tasting was going on with reps visiting at our late-ish (2pm) lunch hour, a good and relaxed vibe, super service and good food! Perfect break in a stressful week! Must return soon.
(4)Ashana G.
Spending $100 at this restaurant just was NOT worth it. I've had better steak at a Mexican restaurant. I was told by a close friend that this place had really good wings for appetizers but it wasn't worth it at all. There are way better places to eat in Atlanta! Don't waste your time here! Oh and also I'd like to add the management will pretend to send you gift cards if you make a complaint on yelp, but you will not receive anything, it's just them trying to tell you not to write a review on them.
(1)L M.
In town for the week and we tried out this fancy sports bar. Happy hour was busy so that tells you something right there. Customer service was on point for us, this seems to kind of waver based on past reviews. I enjoyed the blackened shrimp fingers. The serving was generous and I'd say it serves 4 or more as an appetizer. Great deal if you get the happy hour price!
(4)Kenya S.
First time at this lovely restaurant. I loved the atmosphere. If you can, try to sit on the patio. Our server's name was Derroll. He's very popular and an AMAZINGGGG server. Get him if you can!!! Food? Appetizer: Crab & Artichoke dip. () Entrees: 1 Spinach Salad with shrimp added. I got the small portion which was very filling for a young woman. Once again, amazing!!! 2 Caesar wrap. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The wrap was VERY dry and the chicken was very salty. *Could've just been the cook on duty though* All in all, I will be returning. 5 out 5 stars!!!
(5)Angela F.
The service and the food was amazing. I'm particular about good service from having been in customer service for years, so I've come to expect a certain level at my age. I was quite impressed by the hospitality by everyone I encountered. Our server did very well to answer all of our questions patiently as well as tend to our needs. We felt like valued guests the entire time. The manager also checked in and made sure we were satisfied. I'm quite a fan of eggs benedict and crab cakes, so I had the crab cake eggs benedict brunch plate. It was expertly prepared. It was not only delicious, but also plated beautifully. I'm sure we will return next time we're in the area.
(5)Andrea B.
I can't remember that last time I was so impressed by French fries. Dantanna's does some insanely good fries!!! Actually, they do insanely good with a lot of things. I stopped by with my aunt and sister for lunch, and I ordered the crab cakes, which were fantastic. And those fries that came with it perfectly satisfied my craving for something a little greasy, with just the right amount of crisp. Place was empty, but service was fast. Great lunch spot with lots of shopping nearby!
(4)Nikki R.
We came here for a family dinner, and it was a nice atmosphere for that. We were looking for a place to get a classic American meal, either steak and a baked potato or salmon, and we were very satisfied. I ordered a sirloin, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and tasted about as lean and melt-in-your-mouth as a filet (albeit with more flavor), which to me is a sign of excellent preparation. Both parents got the blackened salmon, and the restaurant was accommodating of one's request for it to be lightly blackened and cooked well. Both parents were impressed, and I must admit the salmon was as good as other fish places I've eaten at. Returned two times since then, got the steak once more, and most recently tried the oysters, which weren't quite as good at the steak compared to other places, but still a good meal. The place gets very busy on holidays, but on a regular weekend, you can get a table with no reservations if you go early enough.
(4)Josiah G.
Well, overall the experience was good. The steak was tasty the beer was good and the service was pretty great. With all that in mind, my steak was ordered med rare and could have been a little less medium with a little more rare. I ordered the ribeye with mashed sweet potatoes and a salad that came out before with champagne lime vin and it was very good. I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon barrel Ale to start and an old fashioned later... I sent back the old fashioned because it just didn't taste right. Honestly I am particular about how you make an old fashioned because so many people get it wrong. I ordered it conservative (no muddled fruit) and that's how it came. The server was really nice about it and the manager as well. The replacement wasn't much better so I just went with it. Overall I will most likely return to this place. All restaurants can have off nights but I enjoyed the service.
(3)John A.
Stopped here for a lunch meeting. Ordered a blue cheese burger, which was good but not special. Where I was seated, there was a person seated behind me and our chairs were pretty close together. For some reason the server insisted on trying to squeeze through the narrow gap between the two chairs - and as you can imagine, continuously bumped into me. I would say at least a dozen times - making my experience rather uncomfortable.
(3)Laura K.
I definitely suggest getting the crab fingers for an appetizer!
(5)Jose P.
Food consistently misses the mark here... BCS burger - order medium and it was cold and raw in the center. Terrible. Blue crab appetizer - Crab tasted like fish - terrible. Oysters - Some tasted funny, next day my stomach was upset. Overall don't order any seafood here, it's not good and doesn't taste fresh to me. Stick to the basics that you can cook at home. CONS: - Food is overpriced for what you get. - Service is below average. - Wait staff is not easy on the eyes. PROS: Great atmosphere
(3)Sheek T.
We came in on a Friday around 7 or so. There was alot of people in there but we were seated quickly. Service was good. we got the egg rolls, the hushpuppies and the Frueben which were all great! the blue cheese mashed potatoes has a very strong blue cheese flavor but still good. I'd go back.
(4)Alex P.
I've been to Dantanna's on numerous occasions and experiences varied from okay to terrible. - CARELESS SERVICE. During the last visit, it seriously felt like the waitress was doing s a favor by serving us. As she was bringing beer to the table, she could barely hold the tray steady and when she put the glass on the table, both her tray and the outside glass were covered with beer. She also had a very careless attitude and clearly did not want to be there. She wasn't necessarily rude, but it just felt like she was doing a favor serving us. - GAME WE WANTED TO SEE WAS NOT PLAYING. Now, I completely understand that during March madness season, a Real Madrid vs Barcelona soccer game may not be on too of the list for many of their clients. However, we called and asked beforehand if the game would be playing. They confirmed it would be. When we got there, it was not. It took one of the employees 10 min of gametime to put it on the tv screens in the very back, with several other groups of people sitting and waiting. If it wasn't for my friend who knew soccer channels, this would have taken even longer.
(2)Mark L.
I've now been to all three Dantanna's locations and once again had a great experience at the Buckhead location. I am giving this location 5 stars because I had really outstanding service from one of the waitresses working in the bar area. She was friendly, polite, and took good care of me without being overbearing or intrusive. As with the other locations, this Dantanna's is excellent for sports viewing with a theater-like experience provided by the big screen behind the bar and the curving seats in front of the bar. There is a lot of excitement from fans of different teams rooting for their team. The food is several notches above your typical sports bar food, but is not much more expensive than most other sports bars, at least for the burgers and sandwiches. I had a BCS burger which had a huge patty of high quality beef with some cheese and mushrooms. It was juicy and moist and extremely tasty. They have about eight drafts on tap. Most are from local breweries. I assume that some of these are rotating drafts. I had two different beers: an Eventide stout and the Three Taverns Single Intent. The Single Intent was not my style and I wouldn't order it again, but I appreciated being able to try out different beers that I haven't had before. I enjoyed the Eventide stout, but have had better stouts. The parking, by the way, is easy and convenient, with a free lot available with plenty of spots when I visited on a Saturday night. I strongly recommend any of the Dantanna's restaurants, especially for people who want to watch a game while they drink or have a meal.
(5)Asma A.
I want to give you a 5 only cause your steak is halal!! However, it's not that amazing. Steak was okay! I definitely have had better for the price. Ordered the filet minion and it was okay. It's definitely better in taste than the top sirloin that my friend got! Desert: definitely a must!! This is a great place for games, nice outdoor patio, just not the kind of place you wanna get a steak at I guess!
(3)Tunicia W.
We went here for my mom's birthday because she used to talk about this place all the time. I told her I picked it because I thought it was one of her favorite places. She said "it is?" jeesh...ok on to the review. They must have had a special section for birthdays this particular evening because literally the table in front of us and behind us was celebrating birthdays. Anyhoo, our server, I believe his name was Dante, was very nice an efficient. He gave us suggestions on appetizers, such as the crab fingers. Those were DIVINE. Also, the cajun chicken egg rolls were great as well. For our entrees, people around the table had salmon (which is what I normally get and don't know why i didn't get it this time), key west chicken wings, sweet potato (my mom had this together as her entree), and the springer mountain organic chicken sandwich (my entree). People that had the salmon at the table said it was really good. The key west wings didn't have much taste to them. My sandwich was okay, nothing really to write home about. It could have used something else-a different seasoning, mustard, something. Since it was my mom's birthday they brought out the krispy kreme bread pudding as her birthday dessert. It's funny, it took me forever to figure out that the bread pudding was made from krispy kreme donuts! It was delicious and served with ice cream. All in all our visit was great. Oh yeah the elevator on the outside was not working. Bad if people in your party are handicapped.

Went in for brunch today with a dear friend and even though the weather was beautiful and a bit chilly, we decided to sit out on the patio with the heaters for a change of scenery. The service was better than the last time I came even though the waitress was a bit slow at times. I will say that even though she was slow, she explained where the delays in service was coming from so that made things better. We started with the Cajun chicken egg rolls, rosa mimosas, and the oysters Rockefeller...which was all pretty good. I decided to get the grilled chicken ceaser wrap and was unimpressed. My friends had the beer battered shrimp and was unimpressed as well. We probably could've just stuck with the appetizers and been fine. Decent food. Nothing that spectacular.
(3)Tiff H.
I finally got the chance to come here outside of Happy Hour when our team took the admin out for National Administrative Assistant Day. It was relatively busy during lunch, and we ordered quickly, although the server wasn't as quick. We ordered a dozen oysters to share around the table. It was my first raw oyster, and I just couldn't stand it. I'll have to try them again one day but the fishiness really got to me. I ordered the crab cake sliders, which came with two mini crab cake sandwiches. Hit the spot, and cleansed my palette after eating that raw oyster... It came with a side of fries, as well as small tins of Cajun tartar sauce and ketchup. The malt vinegar slaw over the crab cake paired well. I would come here again if I could afford these high prices for pub food... And if service were a little quicker (lunch on a weekday should always be more in and out).
(3)Ed C.
I ate here this evening during a monthly visit to Atlanta while staying at The Westin at Buckhead (it's right next door). This place is a great find and, in my opinion, the quality of food is better than the ridiculously overrated Palm restaurant I ate at last month in the lobby of the same hotel. I had the grilled salmon which, for once, was cooked perfectly along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. While it's hidden from Peachtree Street itself with being at the rear of the hotel it's well worth spending an extra minute or two navigating the busy traffic of Lenox Square situated across the street to make your way here. While I didn't sit outside this time (just a bit too warm) hopefully I'll get a chance to try that out next time. Summary: for the price of a full entree at a generic overplayed chain restaurant you could have a delicious meal here. The service staff is top notch too.
(5)Karin G.
I enjoyed a nice dinner on the patio with some fellow conference-goers. Great location next to the convention center and sports venues. I really enjoyed the Lump Crab and Fresh Berry Salad! It hit the spot and the restaurant gets their seafood fresh, flown in every couple of days. I can't remember the name of it, but they had a great local beer on tap - something Blue Ale? Would have been nice to have the fans on outside, but enjoyed it overall. The service was a bit slow, but I live in the midwest where everything go go go!
(4)Kathleen A.
This place is a fantastic sports bar. I came here with a couple of co-workers while in town for a conference. I did not know what to expect but was impressed the moment we walked up. The outdoor seating has TVs set up so you can dine outside and catch up on sports. Who doesn't want to do that? It was a little warm outside so we decided to venture indoors for dinner. I had booked a reservation and the host happily sat us at our table. He was really nice and made us feel welcome. Our waitress Tess was super friendly and helpful. She let me ask tons of questions and answered everyone of them which led me to ordering one of the best salads I have had in a really long time. Thank you Tess! I ordered the "scheel" aka Dantanna's wedge with grilled Buffalo chicken. Buffalo sauce is one of my most favorite things in the world so when I see it on the menu in a form other than wings, it makes me very happy! The sauce was pretty spicy and was cooled down nicely with the blue cheese. I added some avocado because I am a California girl and that's what we do! We also ordered a side of the bacon braised kale for the table. It was cooked perfectly and did not have the bitter aftertaste I sometimes get at some of the restaurants back home. There is also a cigar lounge in the restaurant. I am not a connoisseur by any means, but my friend is and he said there was a nice selection and the set up was good for chilling out, watching sports and smoking a cigar. I will definitely be back next time I am in town!
(5)Liz H.
A few girlfriends and I sat at the bar for dinner and drinks. Great bartenders, great food, and very attentive service. The manager Rob was awesome! I will be back again soon!
(5)Rihan K.
Great spot to go watch a sporting event, I want here for NBA Finals game it was packed. There food is also good, service was great. I had a burger it was amazing, there fries are also good. Overall a great spot I will be back here in the future when I am in. Atlanta

Great place food is good and reasonable. I had the pan seared trout it was scrumptious!

I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment for my Uncles birthday. Long story short we all had a lovely time, the food and service provided by Aisha was amazing and we will be returning
(5)Little D.
I don't usually write reviews but I think this one should be shared. I went to Dantanna's one night for a couple of drinks with a friend. The next day, I realized my debit card was missing. I knew that Dantanna's was the only place I had been using it so I called to see if it was there. I described it and everything, but the man on the phone said he did not see it. I was sure it was there and no one had been using it so I was confident that I lost it, it was not stolen. The day after I called, I went back up there. A woman was speaking with me (I'm assuming she was the manager) and she retrieved my debit card from the office. I checked my account again after receiving the card back and my debit card had been used twice on Groupon. I did not report this to the manager or police because I had no proof of who the culprit was but all fingers point to someone working at that location. Just don't leave your stuff is all I'm saying.
(1)Sarah N.
Yep, Dantanna's is A-OK. I was pleased with my business lunch this afternoon. I ordered the half sandwich and half salad lunch special, choosing Tarragon Chicken Salad sandwich and the Spinach salad, sans bleu cheese. The salad was amazing! The citrusy dressing was very light and the crunch from the almonds was perfect. A little heavy on the red onion, for my taste but I just picked around them. The chicken salad was good. It didn't blow me out of the water, but was a solid, if basic, mixture of shredded chicken and mayo. It could've used a bit more herbs for added flavor. I loved the bread it was served on- a very fresh and squishy bread roll. Overall I was satisfied once the check came and I got out of there for well under $15, drinking water. Service was quick and competent. The portion was just right for a quick weekday lunch.
(3)Robert H.
Not really great. They seem to be trying to hard and don't know what they doing menu wise. Good wasn't good. Service was ok. Much better options in buck head to spend time and $ here.
(2)Roman T.
After running the Peachtree Road Race we stopped in later that day for a few beverages and some appetizers. We sat outside (they have a great patio) and were fortunate enought to have an AMAZING server, Aisha. She was absolutely terrific. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better server in Atlanta. Funny, smart, great to talk with, she engaged our kids, and we would come back again just to sit in her section. Also, we had a margarita (good) and the crab/artichoke dip (really good) and wings. Food and atmosphere were really terrific but the service was outstanding. We need to make excuses to get down to Buckhead more often. Last but not least, we had some Krispy Kreme bread pudding that should be outlawed in at least 15 states. That good. Highly recommend.
(5)Anthony P.
Dantanna is always an awesome time but this time I had the best waitress i have ever had Aisha keep my drinks full it was almost like she could read my mind when I wanted a new drink I will definitely be back when she is working. All her recommendation were great. A+++
(5)Kenitra M.
I went here this past weekend and had the egg rolls. It was very good. My only con was the lightening, it was sort of dark, but our server was one of the best I have had in a long time. We never had to look twice for him, he was always checking in on us. Not sure of his name, however he did tell me he had been there for 8 years.
(4)Jasmine S.
This is our second time here and this place is VERY underwhelming to say the least. We were here last night for the Ohio State game (go Bucks!) and sat in the bar area. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels to start with. The bacon jalapeno queso it came with was hard and the pretzels did not taste fresh. Hubby ordered a burger with fries and a caesar salad on the side. I got the she crab soup. All things were just mediocre. Hubby loves his burgers and he was not impressed. My soup was ok-tasted like a clam chowder, with 2 small shards of crab. Our waitress was really bad. She was not attentive and we had to ask her multiple times for simple things i.e. silverware, water, condiments, etc. For the prices, you would think that the food and service would be of a better quality. Our last experience was not much better than this...
(2)Ramon G.
So I thought this would be mediocre bar food and that's what I found. I just wanted a light salad after a long night of apps with co-workers. The "salad" was a lump of tarragon chicken on a "bed" of lettuce. Cut to the real: three sprigs of over size leafy greens. Under a bunch of meat and mayo. And a tomato cut in four. BUT they were cool and let me send it back and get something else. And they have beer and basketball.
(3)Damon J.
Love this place had the cowboy cut steak and the mussels it was bomb quiet Sunday no crowd great service!
(5)Kristen H.
Hate to give a bad review, but literally couldn't give this place anything but one star (or less). Came here for dinner and everything was terrible - food was mediocre, service was absolutely horrendous, our order took forever and to finish off they calculated everything wrong on the bill. It's my first time here so not sure if it's a fluke, but won't be returning anytime soon. Might understand on a weekend, but pretty sad for a Tuesday night.
(1)Kami B.
We were visiting Atlanta for a conference and our hotel concierge recommended we try Dantanna's for lunch last Saturday. The food, atmosphere and service were fantastic! Our server, Rocky, was personable, offered (good) recommendations and made us feel more than welcome. For lunch I had the salmon sandwich and my boss has the mahi-mahi. We were both impressed with the food and even more impressed when the manager, Kevin, stopped by to check on us during our meal. The entire experience was so over the top that we even went back for dinner that night! We were lucky enough for Rocky to wait on us again. The food continued to impress and the evening manager, Cornelius, was also fantastic! Thanks for everything Dantanna's! This is a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Atlanta!
(5)sriparna m.
Wow, happy hour here is the greatest . Love their half off appetizers and their classic martinis. Best of all is Kevin, our Bartender. He is very courteous and very friendly, always made us feel comfortable and never lonely. He even remembered my name after a long while, which is not easy to remember. The other Bartender is Derick, another good guy! He always takes great care us always and makes us feel at home! Great place to be in a lot, because of them .
(5)Shivani S.
The best food in Buck Head! I love the pepper Salmon. The food was fresh and delicious! The friendly helpful staff and great price will keep me going back for more! Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys good food and nice ambiance!

I had the misfortune of eating here for a work function recently. The Palm and Del Friscos are across the street, but I drew the short straw and ended up here. This place is so bad that it doesn't deserve the time I would normally spend on a proper review. Here's the lowlights: I think our waiter was smoking crack. I've never been around someone smoking crack, but I'm pretty sure he was smoking crack. Maybe bath salts? At one point we thought we were being punked because he literally brought the opposite of everything we ordered. Order a bottle of wine, you get a glass. Order a mixed drink, you get the wrong one three times. Order a blackened lobster tail and you get a blackened filet. To top it off he would mysteriously disappear at odd times - like in the middle of taking our orders (probably to smoke more crack). You get the picture. Absolute sh!t show. Now the food. To be absolutely fair my filet tasted fine. The problem was that five people ordered filets medium. Two were well done and three were rare. The sides were also wrong and some salads didn't arrive. We cut our losses and didn't order dessert. We brought several issues to the attention of the manager, but he was clueless. Could not have cared less. The final straw was when we left and saw a pile of dead roaches under our table. Absolutely disgusting. Dantanna's needs to be taken out to pasture and shot. Someone please close this place and put them out of their misery.
(1)Inge H.
Had Sunday brunch, Food excellent (had Dantanas Eggs and oysters) great wine and exceptional service! Definitely a great place to go to with friends! Cannot wait to come back to Atlanta to visit again!
(5)Lacey J.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Dantanna's on a Sunday for lunch. There weren't many people there, so we were seated right away. Our waiter didn't have much of a personality but the service wasn't bad by any means. To start off, we got the Mac & cheese and it was absolutely delicious. We both ordered the sirloin- mine with house seasoning with bacon braised kale and sautéed mushrooms & he got his steak Oscar style with garlic mashed potatoes and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly medium and was juicy and very tender. I wasn't crazy about the kale. It wasn't bad at all but I just prefer my kale not cooked so much. The mushrooms were good too. The boyfriend enjoyed his meal as well. His garlic mashed potatoes weren't out of this world, but still good- same with the fries. We will be back!

Best bar/restaurant in Atlanta area! I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and my first time visiting there summer 2014 my bartender Kevin gave the best service I have ever received from a restaurant..I worked as a server so I know good service and Kevin is the man! Explains every drink and food ingredient and gives his personal opinions and favorites on everything on the menu..special guy! I've been visiting ATL just to go there because of him..5th time coming in the last year! Definitely a place to visit and ask for Kevin he'll make your visit worth every second!

I hate giving a really bad reviews but if it were not for our server I would give it a half a star if I could. We were a party of three and here were the issues. The pork chop was nothing but fat, everything lacked salt/flavor, one of the sides were wrong, the Sautéed spinach was served with burnt garlic, the wine was hot the wine glasses smelled of bleach and one of our drinks was not delivered for over 15 minutes. After multiple complaints our server asked the manager to come out and talk with us. He listened, looked and did not even apologize. Our server could not do enough to rectify the situation with multiple apologies. Chris our server was excellent, I question if the manager is even qualified for the position. One of the folks in our party has been here before and promised the server to return as he feels it was a bad night. I would not come back.

Love, love this place!! The braised short ribs are to die for!!! I have been there four times and always get something new haven't been disappointed yet! Service is a bit slow but okay never the less!
(5)Stephanie F.
I absolutely have this place five stars on the food. The food here is to die for. The plates are big and well worth the price. I ordered the Rosemary Chicken which was well roasted & my fiancé ordered the seafood platter. I would def say his plate was better than mine. It had all kinds of seafood with an awesome spicy (soft) sauce on it all and on the side a linguine pasta, that was absolutely breath taking. I love love this place. Def will come back for more!

I really like Dantannas. It's a nice atmosphere, in a good location, with alot of parking, and solid food... think Houstons but with a sports bar element. ATMOSPHERE/DECOR: This is truly a high end sports bar and the clientele solidify this. There's two parts-- the bar area and the restaurant area (and actually there's a cigar room in back too). The bar area is filled with afterwork white collar guys watching the game, the bulk of them were in there dress shirts and slacks, sleeves rolled up, top shirt button undone and engulfed in a game while having drinks. It's a total white collar boys club upfront. The dinner area is chill, with great ambience, medium lighting both booth and table seating. SERVICE: The hosts are always very nice. The servers are nice, but they may have a caveat. For example the last time I was here I had an older man who was nice, but a little clumsy. This time it was a younger woman who was helpful and nice, but had a slight attitude. Those traits just seemed to be apart of there personality though. Because when we got temporary service from others (delivering food, refiling drinks, bringing boxes) they seemed to be more "normal" and friendly. FOOD: So far, its been very good. Salmon -- very good, I paired it with the bacon braised Kale. Made for a delicious dish. Mahi Mahi -- w/ asparagus and mash potatoes. This was a chefs special and it was pretty good, definitely very fulfilling. Filet Mignon -- I'm not a hardcore steak person, but I tasted my friends and it was pretty good. The young lady recommended how to have it made and which rub and sauce to use. (He got it medium, I forget the rub, but I believe it was topped with crab meat and a certain sauce-- he seemed to really enjoy it) Fries-- I just like there fries... perfectly made every time. Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls-- The last time I got them they were amazing, but I was also very hungry. This time they were pretty good. I'll definitely try other appetizers Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Ice Cream-- I've had this twice now and it's very damn good, lol. You feel like a glutton eating it, but it's actually not as sweet as you would imagine... it's perfect. I'll try different desserts from here on out though so I can review those. Bourbon Lemonade-- they added too much ice, but I realize I like bourbon lemonade... a true southerner indeed :-). SUMMARY: I have genuinely enjoyed Dantannas the couple times I've visited. I could see coming here for lunch or dinner, and I believe they're open late night (I've only been for dinner so far). It's a nice spot to have a dinner meeting because it's casual yet fancy at the same time thanks to the sports bar element. We also so Shaq here-- hard to miss 7'1 man though, lol, he stood out mostly because of his jogging suit apparel. You can wear whatever here for sure, there's no dress codes. Alot of business men are up front getting drinks after work and others are having dinner alone before heading back to the burbs. But its not just business people though, its also couples on dates, friends having drinks, etc. Solid 4.5/5 from me as of now. ETC: The one main con I can think of is when I went in February, some of the dinnerware seemed to not be as clean, we had to send some glasses back to get clean ones. So I guess they're more of a 4/5.

It's hard to find all my favorite things under one roof (red meat, cola ketchup, great scotch and cigars) and Dantanna's has them all. Every visit to Atlanta, I make a point to have a meal and cigar here. Does anyone know who the football player is in the men's room?
(5)Kevin Q.
I ordered a flat iron steak with mac and cheese and brocolli. The meat was well cooked and delicious. I'm not sure if it being dry aged made much of a difference, but it was certainly great. Since this is a sports bar there are TV's everywhere. I was there for Game 1 of the 2014 World Series. If you want audio, sit near the bar section, otherwise you can barely hear anything in the standard dining area. I would come here again.
(5)Frank W.
Great upscale sport bar/restaurant. Nice steaks and fresh fish. Daily specials too.
(5)Jon S.
Now this is my new found spot, great place to eat and one of the best humidor around. They have a private area in the rear of the restaurant with lounge furniture and an ample amount of flat panel TV's to view the game on. The bar area is great and has an open air feel to it with plenty of sitting at the bar. It also has an outside sitting area and you can smoke cigars there too. This place came highly recommended and lived up to its recommendations. This was my first time to the Atlanta area and buckhead is the Beverly Hills to the south. Nestled Between large southern estates, I felt like I was in an episode of Atlanta Housewives from all the luxury homes and hoping night life around the area. Do yourself a favor and try Dantannas it's worth it and then cruise across the street and stop by the Cupcake ATM and make a withdraw of a large cupcake.
(5)Kent L.
We visited Dantanna's last year around the time of the World Cup. Even though they had just been roughed up by a very large group of soccer fans, they still managed to have make our visit very pleasant. The food was tasty and the service was great. We even had a couple local beers suggested, which turned out nice. We would definitely go back for a visit!
(5)Bruce P.
Visited for our 31st Anniversary, Gift from our "kids" I am not a big Flounder person, grew up with it- to me it has little flavor, but it sounded so good as the special... It surprised me, it was great. I truly enjoyed the light taste complimented by the crawfish topping. The Asparagus was cooked perfectly, not fibery at all, crisp but not hard. based on my sides next thanksgiving I will be making mashed taters with Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic for the family.
(5)Tiffany C.
Dantanna's has got to be one of my favorite places in Buckhead. The food is tasty and I enjoy the ever changing specials menu. My favorite dish was an Udon and Scallops dish. The Goat Cheese and Marinara appetizer is a must have! I give them a 3 because every time I've ever visited during lunchtime, the service is extremely slow and there's always barely any guest. Also the server is typically the bartender (short hair, African-American woman) and let's just say she doesn't have the best attitude in the world. The have a really good happy hour with great fusion cocktails for $5 AND it lasts until 7:00 p.m.! Thank goodness with Buckhead traffic these days. Overall, I enjoy the food, ambiance and price point.
(3)Rom P.
One of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. Service is terribly slow, unfriendly and disrespectful! Food is poorly prepared and simply unhealthy! Bar scene is the only part of the restaurant that is fair, at best. Impersonal and a "no one cares" attitude about the customer and the food. On two occasions we went to dinner, we felt like we were obligated to kiss everyone's ass to get service and our food. When we complained the lady manager came over and said that's just the way they do things!!! Amazing!!! She should've been fired and banished from ever working in the restaurant industry again!!!
(1)Yashaba H.
This place is awesome! I never had a steak so good! It is a bit pricey, but it's still reasonable considering the area it's located. The service here is good. The sides are delicious as well. They have a nice bar with a great beverage selection. It's not an ideal place for an intimate gathering however, it's very packed and a little too loud.
(4)Eric T.
Outstanding all around....food, service and value. The restaurant is attached to a cigar room and both were great. The place is beautiful and looks like places costing a lot more. The wasabi tuna and the garlic spinach were as good as I've had and very reasonably priced for the quality and decor. Regarding the cigar shop, Mike was very friendly and very knowledgeable. This place has earned my business anytime I'm in Atlanta.
(5)Ashley L.
Aisha was our waiter and she did an amazing job!!!! We had a great time!!! The food was great and the service was just as good!!!
(4)Patrice Y.
The food is excellent and so is the service. I live for their crabcakes! My vote counts because I am the hardest woman in the world to please... :-)!!!
(4)Mebin J.
Actually my rating is 3.5/5 ,but I don't have that option and giving a 3 is too low for this kind of restaurant. Just learned that Dantana was just started in 2003, but it looks and feels more like a matured restaurant. I really like the location and the ambiance.It is really a hidden gem in Lenox ,even though I drove through here 100s of times I just found this one. My checking in here wont disappointment me at all. It's more like a sports bar with upscale ambiance,if they decide to drop the sports label then it will be surely an upscale restaurant. Of course it's not in my top 10 restaurants in Atlanta, but I would like to come back here when ever I am in Lenox mall (This review is not covering the cigar bar ,it's all about the main restaurant) Good - tasty food, great location,reasonable affordable pricing (great plus) , ambiance , service. Bad - nothing much ,but they can improve service or maybe overall professionalism lacking.
(4)Vincent V.
Dantanna's provides the upscale sports bar atmosphere of a FOX Sports Grill or ESPN Zone without hitting you over the head with the big corporate souvenirs and name brands of the other two. The prices are similar and the viewing atmosphere is comparable, but the food at Dantanna's is typically better than the other upscale sports bars. Dantanna's has one of the biggest TV's I've ever seen in the bar. The picture quality is phenomenal, and it's a good atmosphere to get a group of friends together to watch a game. The staff is good, service is much better here than FOX or ESPN Zone as well. The final touch that puts it over the top versus its competitors is the big patio that overlooks Lenox Mall. True, the view is kind of blah, but outdoor seating with plasma screens so you can still watch sports is a winner with me every time.
(4)Roy L.
I go here frequently because of the location and the good food. Good place to take a date if you want to watch sports on your date. Higher end sports bar that feels like a sports bar and an above average restaurant at the same time. The patio seating with the individual screens are a plus and reminds you that you're not at Hooters. I usually order the steak, which is always good along with the gumbo. The waitstaff is kind of slow, but forgiveable. I sometimes just sit at the bar while eating and watching a game. The bartenders are pretty cool too.
(4)Alexis R.
Dantanna's is great location-wise, but definitely on the expensive side. I'd never order a full dinner there, but drinks tend to be fine and their happy hour specials are great (try the lobster lollipops!). It's ideal for after-work happy hours, and it seats a lot of folks.
(3)Rick M.
Great environment, located in Buckhead district... had their Angus Burger and Cherry Cobbler for desert and can only say that it was fantastic!
(4)Falicia G.
UPDATE I met up with a friend here for a quick drink. It was a midway meeting point. Four stars because the bartender was great. He recommended a wine for me, then let me taste it first. Nice! Also, I didn't get to eat any food but, what I saw looked and smelled great. One thing that I didn't like was that they still allowed smoking inside. We were there for almost an hour smoke free, then a few people lit up and ruined the fresh air atmosphere. Definitely a loss of a star on that one, which leaves Dantanna's with three stars. --- Already a little tipsy off that DiSarrano, I headed here with my girl friends to have some fun. One of my girls was having a "Waiting To Exhale" moment so, she wanted to get out of the house. Dantanna's ended up being our choice because pretty much everything was closed. It's a nice location. The bar area is pretty large and spacious and the bartender was cool. He was attentive and knew how to pour the drinks. The rest of the restaurant I didn't get to check out because my butt was glued to the bar. As the night progressed, people started smoking. Yuck! The ventilation system must have been broken because it stunk. Otherwise, this is a cool spot. Not pretentious, just laid back.
(3)Joel D.
I've been to Dantanna's several times for happy hour and always had a good time. Upscale enough to feel comfortable in work attire, but a good vibe for unwinding and plenty of tvs to catch sports scores. I recently ate lunch here and was impressed. I had the burger, but the star was the fries. Crispy and tasty!
(4)Casey G.
I go to Dantanna's a lot in the fall to watch football, so this review is for the bar. I would say they have better food than most other sports bars (the gumbo is pretty good!). Bartenders are super friendly people. It does tend to get crowded, though, for big games...so plan ahead!
(4)MickE S.
I had one of the most OUTSTANDING dining encounters at this establishment with a girlfriend of my a few weeks ago! For a Saturday afternoon of non-stop shopping in Lenox Mall, it was a PERFECT way to end the day! She dined on the Cowboy Ribeye w/Dantanna Rub, sauteed spinach, followed by the peach cobbler (to DIE FOR), and I had the NY Strip w/Dantanna Rub as well, garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus, followed by the red velvet cheesecake by Joshua Johns, who is infamously featured on The Food Channel (and NOW I see WHY!). With the food being of organic fare, the additional sauces actually detracted from the natural marinade of the tenderized meat, which was cooked to ABSOLUTE perfection! The menu in itself was SO very impressive, but our waitress, Allison, and her knowledge of the wine list and overall customer service deserves an EXTRA KUDOS! A DEFINITE reason to visit this restaurant on ANY occasion, and WELL worth the money! Conveniently located to the majority of ALL of the shopping malls and districts of the coveted downtown Atlanta experience, with MORE than enough parking if you time your visit right! I would DEFINITELY include this restaurant as one of the MUST-VISIT spots to hit when in-town for a weekend or entertaining and impressing out-of-town guests for lunch or dinner!
(5)Shalin P.
I've never eaten here but have come here often to have a few beers and watch the game. I really like the atmosphere here- a nice upscale sports bar but doesn't seem stuffy or trendy. The huge main wall TV is awesome too. They also have one of these cool looking simulated screens that seems to be suspended in the air. It also seems to be a big Boston Red Sox bar, which is always a bonus.
(4)Terry B.
Expect great service, wonderful cajun chicken egg rolls and Krispy Kreme bread pudding that will dissolve in your mouth. The wine and beer selection was impressive and reasonably priced. The disappointment came when the roasted lamb sandwich arrived. It was chewy and may have been marinaded in rotten fish.
(3)Andre S.
So, this was my first virginal experience to Dantanna's, and I have to say, I didn't like it. Accompanied by a co-worker, we decided to go somewhere we never been, and well, not to give our hard earned money to a chain restaurant. First of all, the don't order a burger if you're hungry. Thinking I was going to get a mouth watering, burger I could sink my teeth in, I only was served half portion. Come on, seriously, who eats just half a burger?! Were they trying to tell me to watch my cholesterol or something? Secondly, DO NOT get the Asian Chicken Salad! It is full of the thick, yellow iceberg lettuce, unflavored chicken, and a very pungent teriyaki sauce. Let's just say, I'm glad I didn't pay for lunch. My meal wasn't worth it.
(2)Jessica R.
I dined here with a group of people on a Monday afternoon prior to the Saints vs Falcons Monday night game. Everyone liked their entrees. I really enjoyed my crab salad. We sat at the bar and the bartender wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't the worst... I would def go back and think it would be a great place to watch sporting events!
(3)Amit H.
I am definitely a fan of Dantanna's, it a upscale sports bar right next door to Lenox mall. It's a great Happy Hour spot, it is always busy with a good mixed crowd. It's an excellent spot to catch sporting event's especially when it is Football/Basketball season, it is great for college and pro sports the place is always packed on the weekends with fans. The Food is pretty good their seafood is good too, they have a fresh seafood bar with everything you can imagine. I enjoy their burgers a lot, well you can't really go wrong with it plus when i am drinking i rather eat something that will absorb the alcohol rather than eat something that will not absorb much and then you will see me failing on my butt and making a fool of myself. Another thing that is pretty cool about this place is that they have a 300 foot walk in Cigar lounge, with decent selection of cigar's. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bar with good food and a sophisticated crowd.
(4)Liz K.
The name after "Dantannas" perfectly spells it out for you... SPORTS BAR, STEAK AND SEAFOOD. They have a sports bar on one side with huge tv's and the "normal" dining area on the other side. The dining area also have tv's so you don't miss out on whatever is on. The food is good for the price and setting. It's a sports bar, you can't expect much. Lots of fried foods, salads, and steak. Service was great. There wasn't too much to choose from the seafood section though.
(3)Jacob M.
Not much bad you can say. Diverse American options. Affordable. Great TVs good atmosphere.
(4)Kara G.
I'm gonna give this place a no. The vibe is cool great little spot to stop and have a drink or whatever as a first date ice-breaker. The food, well it wasn't great at all. In fact I thought it was a little bit bad. I had the rosemary chicken with sweet mashed potatoes and asparagus. All bland, all average. For the price it just wasn't worth it. And to top it off not one hottie in the bar just a bunch of old horny, married white men, looking for a piece of chocolate. I'll pass next time.
(2)Talib K.
I don't go here much, but when I do, the bartender always remembers me and talks to me like I was just there a few days ago. There's nothing particularly special about this place, but the service I've received has always been top notch. That always worth many return visits. I guess I'm showing my age. The older you get, the less important price and ambiance become, and the more important service becomes. The food is okay, the ambiance is okay, and the smoke can be heavy late night, but the service (at the bar) is great.
(3)Sara S.
they are expensive. i went there for wine and dinner and to catch a good game a few weeks ago and was charged an extra $2/glass for my wine. i didnt notice it until after i had left- but it definately left me with a bad taste in my mouth. i feel as if there is a bit of an identity crisis going on here between the seafood (which is good, don't get me wrong), bar- cigar area- tvs only in the bar area- outdoor seating- and the claim to be an "upscale" sports bar. but its good. they have good food, good service, and you pay extra for both. their wine list is not impressive, and very overpriced. expect to pay no less than $50/person when you go here.
(3)Elena S.
I have always loved Dantanna's. Its always been that type of place that you can go to on a date and have a nice time in the dining room, you can go after a date just to have some drinks and it is also that place that you can watch the game or have a nice happy hour. Dantanna's is all of this. They have wonderful bartenders and chefs. I have to go again but the last time that I went to Dantanna's was a little off, maybe because it was during the week, but I was not impressed. The only thing that was good our trip was the server and the drinks. The regular menu was closed so the only thing that was available was the bar/late night menu and that was only full of bar food. I got the chicken Cesar wrap and my friend got the chicken finger app. My wrap was hard and dry. It came with Romaine Lettuce but this wrap only had the core inside the wrap and that disgusting and completely ruined the expected texture of the sandwich. I could have returned it to the kitchen, but I had already torn it apart to figure out what was so hard inside. The chicken nugget app was decent and the drinks were good. It was a Wednesday night and the only thing that was on was College Basketball. I enjoy Dantanna's it's a dependable place in the Buckhead area that you can always depend on for fun whether on a date or with the girls. It's dependable if you are heading out or winding up the night. I will definitely be back.
(4)Tracy P.
2 Strongbow Dry Ciders, a Rocky Patel Java, and College Football on the patio all on a beautiful Saturday! The perfect place for a getaway from the 'burbs!
(5)Deanna J.
The sports bar theme here is so understated, I barely noticed it until reading Rebecca O. and J.D.'s reviews. We went to Dantanna's during lunch, and walking into the interior immediately brings a soothing quality - thanks to the dark woods and probably helped by the freezing temperature. The large space has seating options that run the gamut from restaurant to bar area (great spots for viewing the giant sports-playing televisions) and covered patio (where we chose to sit, despite the monsoonlike thunderstorm). Well respected for their seafood and steaks, the dinner menu prices would reserve this for me as a 'special occasion' place. Lunch, however, has some strong choices in the $10 - $15 range; I got the 'freuben' - fried tilapia, cabbage slaw, Swiss cheese & Russian dressing. It was fantastic. Greasy, but fantastic. Though the menu says sandwiches come with fries or potato salad, the waiter said any side item can be substituted. Garlic mashed potatoes. Good. Not a shocker since they bill themselves as a 'Surf 'n Turf' restaurant, but vegetarians will find the menu here a challenge. If carnivorous friends drag you here, try the portabella quesadilla or spinach salad. Or just drink lots of beer. I didn't visit, but apparently there's also the Buckhead Cigar Lounge at Dantanna's, complete with smoking lounge and leather sofas. This versatile restaurant is comfortable and works if you need a spot for a wheelin' dealin' business dinner in Buckhead, a place to watch the game or celebrate with a giant amount of steak and seafood. Or even just somewhere to lunch and dish about your coworkers.
(4)Chris H.
Great food, Huge Bar, lots of TV's, actually putting on games people want to watch and not the owners of a restaurant want to have on. Really can not beat this place.
(5)Richard G.
I love restaurants that are consistent and Dantanna's is consistently good. Great fish dishes and always good sides. Reasonable prices. Service is usually good but slipping a little lately. Last couple of times we were in - the waiters seemed absent. But the food makes up for it and the hostess is usually very welcoming. If you are near Lenox Mall hop over (just behind the Westin Hotel). Really great place for a very nice lunch without breaking the bank.
(4)Wendy K.
awww.. so yummy.. so very very yummy.. Drinks...perfect.... they pour heavy towards the end of the night.. Really awesome private party place.. We had the whole place to ourselves.. sooo much fun.. I love the outside area....
(5)Tina W.
I've had an awesome meal here and two alright meals. The wait staff is either hilarious and professional or totally standoffish and bothered, depending on the night.
(4)Russ G.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't like going into a bar to be ignored by the entire wait staff for nearly a half hour, finally ordering a drink, getting it fifteen minutes later, realizing it's as watered down as a rainstorm, then finding said drink cost more than a good steak at some places. This place is the most overrated bar I've ever been to, and if wasn't for the invite from a good friend I wouldn't have bothered going. Having gone, I'll say I won't ever go again. If the horrible service, outrageous prices, and cheap use of liquor doesn't turn you off, consider that the place is a swimming pool full of yuppie douchebags with too much money and not enough sense. It's like a really bad J Crew catalog.
(1)Amy V.
The girls and I hit Dantanna's for our March dinner club. Dantanna's is an "up scale" sports bar. The food was amazing and the service was friendly and helpful. There we so many dishes that looked good that it was really hard to choose. I ended up ordering the lobster/scallop risotto. It was creamy and the seafood was perfectly cooked. (even heated up the next day) I also tried a bite of the battered shrimp. The batter was light and fluffy and the shrimp was juicy. I liked having the option of continuing the evening on the bar side without having to leave or sit at our table. Heading to the bar for "one more" is always a plus. I also love the outside patio and would not mind heading back for a game and drink when it gets warmer.
(4)Scott M.
I have heard about this spot forever, and finally was able to make a trip over. Sports is big here, and they have a healthy crowd during most football games. The service was decent, but the food was blah, I think i had the calamari and some type of little steak appetizer....good, but not great. I cant say its one of the most comfortable spots to watch the game either. Maybe its better during the summer when you can sit outside...I'd give it another shot..
(3)Kevin P.
This may be a good place to have a beer and watch a game but if you are expecting a nice dinner I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I had a fatty flat-iron steak and the waiter didn't seem to care too much. He offered to get me something else but by that time it had been too long of a wait. The prices are high and they seem to want to differentiate themselves from the average sports bar but my experience was that you are just paying more and not getting good food. Too bad - - we had driven by many times thinking it would be a cool place.
(2)T I.
A coworker gave me a gift card to Danatanna's that was about to expire. I hate losing out on anything so "sweets" and I decided to give it a shot, after all its free. The calamari was incredible and the grit cake was a nice touch with the hurricane shrimp. Nice bar-- I will be back.
(4)Dee W.
I've only been to Dantanna's once, and I became a fan. I had a burger which was really good, one of the best that I've had in a long time!
(4)Evan J.
Wow, great food! I especially enjoyed the deep fried, blue-cheese stuffed artichoke hearts. Damn, those are good. I'm deducting one star for the sports bar atmosphere. Too many TVs turned up too damn loud. Otherwise, it's a good place and we enjoyed everything.
(4)Javier O.
The class and sophistication of Morton's meets ESPN zone. This was highly recommended by a bar tender at the Ritz-Carlton. The self proclaimed premier surf and turf sports bar in Atlanta definitely served up a better than expected meal while I caught up on some needed Thursday night Football on their crystal clear HD Plasma TV's. I am surprised this combination never crossed my mind. Everything from mahogany walls to the bar set up and patio made this a truly remarkable eating experience. The lamb chop with sweet mashed potatoes was phenomenal! Luckily San Francisco does not have something similar to offer, otherwise, I could see myself living and working to sustain my lifestyle with Dantanna's
(5)Rebecca O.
If you're an avid reader of my reviews (which I highly suggest if you're not) you're aware of my impending boredom when forced to watch sports. However, if I must be surrounded by sports fans and watching a game, I want to be at Dantanna's. The food is far more upscale than at most other sports bars, and the TV screens are big, which means you can see them while sitting happily at a table -- you don't have to cram your body into a crowd at the bar, although plenty of people do that anyway. Food choices range from surf and turf to a Reuben sandwich, salads and onion rings. Friendly to all tastes.
(4)Darrel M.
Excellent place for happy hour and lunch. I take business associates to this location on a regular basis.
(5)Jason W.
My parents came into town for Thanksgiving, and on Wednesday we decided to try Dantanna's. We were extremely impressed. The food was outstanding, and we had an amazing waiter, Lloyd, who was quick with a joke and had a wonderful personality. The food was cooked extremely well and the service was lighthing quick and very attentive.
(5)Jennifer M.
Reservations? Yes. Restaurant open at time of reservation? NO!!! We made reservations for Mother's Day brunch, which were confirmed by the restaurant via a phone call the Friday before. Between Friday and Sunday, the restaurant decided to open later than our reservation time, yet they neglected to alert us. We showed up an hour before opening, and rather than serve us, the manager offered us coffee while we waited for the restaurant to open. Ridiculous! Especially when one of our party has diabetes and needed to eat at the time of our reservation. The manager did not even offer us anything free (other than the coffee), and gave us coupons only when asked. I will not be going back! Clearly this place is very poorly managed. I would hate to see what the food is like.
(1)S L.
My coworker and I usually come here for lunch because the food is excellent here and it's close to our work. Though the service is pretty slow and not exceptional, but since the food is decent enough to bring us back. Unfortunately, today will be the end of my returns to Dantanna's in Buckhead.... First, our waitress, Jennifer, not only had a poker face on as soon as we got there, she took 3 out of our 6 orders wrong. When we informed her that the orders that came were wrong, she insist that we ordered it incorrectly WITH AN ATTITUDE. BTW, I ordered a full size burger with a cup of soup, and she thought it was a 1/2 sandwich and soup combo... 1/2 burger came out. The 1/2 burger looked so pitiful. i should have taken a picture of it so i have proof. My other co-worker's "crabcake slider" came out with the bread as hard as crouton. We joked that we can use them as Frisbees. On top of the hard as rock bread, my coworker also ordered a full sandwich and a cup of soup but only 1/2 of the order came out. I decided to send my overly cooked (probably under the heating lamp for too long) pitiful burger back and she came back and told me that i should order a medium rare. Fine... if that's how the chef believes... i am not going to argue. But I can guarantee you that the first 1/2 burger was overcooked. My other coworker ordered a beer battered fried shrimp with a side salad. A full size salad came out when everyone's entree came out, but the waitress completely forgot my coworker entree order. GAH.... and when we looked at the bill, she charged 1 full size salad, 1 order of fried shrimp, and 1 crabcake ($18) instead of 1 crabcake slider ($15) . Why should we pay for her mistake. When I brought this to her attention, she gave us the attitude of "what now". I decided not to bring is to her manager at the restaurant thinking it would have been better if I don't ruin other patron's lunch. When i call and asked for the manager, a person named, Jake or Jay answered the phone basically asking me what do I want from him. He told me that NO ONE orders a whole sandwish/burger with a cup of soup. That it is not the on the menu. Really, so what did I ordered that's not on the menu? Enlight me! When I told him that it seemed no one in this restaurant seem to own it up to their mistake (including him), he told me he is the owner Dantanna's and he cooked my burger. REALLY, you really should train your staff better and seriously not to give attitudes when mistakes have been pointed out to you. We did not ask to get compensated, we just don't want to spend $200 and get super pissed at lunch. The moral of this lunch is no matter how good the food is, bad service (and customer service) can ruin everything. Sorry Dantanna's, we will never be back.

Great meal with a better waitress (thank you Megan!). Gumbo is always a good app but glad we tried the Key West style buffalo wings! Fish tacos are served enchilada style which was disappointing despite being tasty. Going to get the bread pudding next time.

I do not have that much to say about Dantanna's. It is yet another mediocre attempt at an Atlanta seafood restaurant. If you have deep pockets (or don't care about the cost/quality ratio), then you will find this to be an acceptable spot. Nothing here is horrible, but nothing here is a shinning culinary masterpiece either. I would say it is best for watching a game or for meeting with the peeps after work. That said - I've usually found the place to be heavy on the sausage (if you catch my drift). The food is consistent and the service never seems to drop below passable or go above decent. Speaking specifically to the food - the menu is a bit disjointed and prices are on the high side. They are technically a "Surf & Turf" spot - so that might contribute to their inability to deliver a streamlined concept. The best thing is the raw seafood platter (if memory serves me right - it runs around $20/person) and none of their other appetizers are particularly noteworthy. Dantanna's fry batter is fairly non-descript and bland. Not surprisingly, the chefs do not appear to be familiar with anything outside of salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and oil. When they try and get fancy, they fail miserably. They stock decent quality product - though for the price you pay, I'd call it highway robbery. Their lump crab and avocado sandwich comes in at $14. I would say it's worth about half of that. Bottom line, there isn't anything here you cannot find a better alternative for somewhere else in the city.

Plenty Of T.V.s and pretty darn good food, I was pleasantly surprised it really feels like they took the best of both worlds with a bar and a classy restaurant. I've been here quite a bit and i've liked everything for the most part the burgers and chops are really good
(4)Eugene H.
pretty average food for the price. the service was also exceptionally slow considering the place wasn't too busy when we stopped by here. nothing special, but if you got time to kill, it's worth a try to stop by for lunch.
(3)Matthew W.
So this place is like an upscale sports bar. Has a huge patio with lots of TV's, drink prices are reasonable, great service, some attractive servers. The bartenders are quick and make great drinks. Food is pricy but there are a few modest priced food items but prepare to spend some cash if you eat a lot like me. Inside look has a lot of wood, think Anchorman Ron Burgundy move- rich mahogany and leather bound books except you want find books there. They have a humidor room to which you can buy a cigar from a pretty big selection of cigars and have a room by the humidor where you can smoke your cigar with other cigar smokes and chill as well if you dont want to smoke it on the patio.

his is another venue that has been 3 different things in the past 8 years. When I was in college this was home to Benigan's, a bar and restaurant where a couple of my classmates made extra cash. Then it became Monty's and I was really sad to see this one go. The stone crab claws were to die for and the bartenders and manager were the best. Now it is Dantanna's, which to me is almost a mix of the two former residents. It is a seafood restaurant that wants to have other options as well. I liked my food but I wasn't overly impressed. The one thing I will commend the new owners on is putting in more TV screens to give this place a more upscale sports bar look and feel. As a stand alone restaurant with no inside entertainment, this venue just couldn't seem to find it's niche. Now at a minimum, Dantanna's can contend with the bar crowd at nearby Clubhouse.

I have been coming here for a while and the best food items are the burgers with a side of their own bbq sauce and the quesadillas because of the different red tortillas they use. Its also good to watch games in the bar area but if the crowd is to big, you cant even think about getting a seat. Overall cool place to hang and the only true sports bar in buckhead.
(4)Jennifer G.
I keep going back thinking its going to get better but I've been 3 times now and have been disappointed every time. I'm sure its great for "game days" and bar food but there are too many good restaurants in Buckhead to go here. The SheCrab soup is way too thick with no flavor, the steak salad was completely dried out and the dessert I had (with a muffin I believe?) was literally hard as a rock. Service and atmosphere were both good however the food is what makes a restaurant I believe.
(2)Jay P.
I have pretty much been impressed with Dantanna's each time I have been. I got the mahi special last Friday night and it was excellent! The apps are good especially the beef carpaccio. I highly recommend the lamb shank, one of the best shanks around Atlanta and I know my shanks!
(4)Kednerlin D.
This place was ok. Went there to watch some NCAA. Lots of people there, a little more upscale sports bar. The food was not bad.
(3)Rachel S.
My husband and I have eaten at Dantanna's on several occasions. The food has always tasted fresh and delicous, with one exception the bread. We didn't care for the bread. As for the desserts, they still have the Jack Daniels cake on their menu which isn't served anymore according to one of the waiters. However, the banana dessert is very good.
(4)Ric T.
Came here on a sunday afternoon, place was packed & loaded with NFL fans, especially in the bar area along the right side when you walk in. On this particular day it seemed everyone in here was a pitiful Bears fan(seriously expected Farley and his cohorts from SNL to show up). Ended up getting a table in the back of the bar with a direct view of the giant projector screen along with that of a fairly hot waitress who looked liked one you would find on milfhunter.com .. Definitely would go back just to have her as my server next time. Friendly wait staff brought us over a strong batch of drinks and some decent appetizers. Order the seafood entrees if you go here, the burger my date ordered was mediocre and nothing to brag about. Drinks were strong and in heavy glasses, bloody marys and pints seemed to be the steady stanby for most the finished(read..fat people) patrons of this establishment. Huge wine list and a nice selection of both domestic & Import beers. Very cool place to watch a game, crowd was a mixed bag of 20-40 years olds. No annoying kids or overly crazy football fans either made for a nice place to catch a game. This is definitely a good spot to go watch the game with your Broad. Also seems like a quick and easy place to bring your mom or even granny for a early dinner.

If you do not get the lamb then don't talk to me. Ohh its good. Its really really good. I don't go in for the sports bar part, but you barely notice unless you are looking for it. I like that I don't have to fight so hard to get my husband to go out someplace 'nice' when I mention Dantanna's. I have had at least one bad experience there so I can't give it a 4 or 5. If I only reviewed the lamb it would be a 7. Yes, it really is that good. Stop reading reviews and just go. And if I am wrong then write your own review. Deal?
(3)Manny F.
3 words: Pork chop heaven! If it was not for the bartender Joey, I'd definitely have walked out; he's probably one of the most courteous in the business and truly treats his patrons with respect and timely service. The La Creme Pinot Noir pairs well with the organically raised pork and a definite must have; this meal was close to the one I had in Chicago. I don't usually rave about Pork chops unless when I have a good time. Beware of laptop totting women that are socially challenged and have "bad energy" - observations from my time watching the game. There was many nice people having a good time, mostly yuppies :)
(5)Tena J.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a sports bar with class and just an all around great place if you wanna stop in to have a few drinks, sit on the patio to watch a game or take your pops out for dinner and finish up with a cigar in the back. I can't say that I've had a bad meal at this place. The blackberry ribs are to die for, lamb shank IS awesome and blue cheese mashed potatoes? Yummm. I personally enjoyed the chicken wings and I'm a chicken wing nut, crispy and hot, just like I like them. And service? For me? Always fantastic. This place gets crowded on the weekends so you might want to call ahead if going during dinner rush.

Cough, cough. We stopped in for a bite during a College Football Game. Cough cough...... cigarettes and cigars cough cough was my impression.

Dantanna's is a very different animal than your average neighborhood sports bar. Gone are the framed jerseys and random home town bric-a-brac. In their place you will find tasteful decorations, calm lighting (no neons), and top of the line projection televison images. the menu reads more like a fine steak house than a sportsbar. Most of the dishes are executed very well. They have a big variety here, everything from lobsters to aged steaks. Other complex dishes include lamb shanks, crab legs, and some nice salads. you can still order a burger or wings as well. the bar fills up quickly on big game days, but the dining room reamains surprisingly comfortable. I think of Dantannas as more of a neighborhood restaurant than an actual sports bar, because to be quite honest this isn't the best place to watch a game--it is however a great place to eat, drink and meet with friends. Parking is free in the around Lenox Lot, do not however leave your car in that lot to go across the way to Lenox mall as your car will be booted within minutes upon you doing so. Look out for the white "rapist van", he is looking out for you to boot your ride!

This is not only a great sports bar wth plenty of energy, but the food here is great as well. Th service is really nice and quick and the waiter that I had was he nicest guy. Good dessert recommendation and he even sat down with me for a second to talk. Very friendly. The appetizer salad that I had was really tasty, as it had so many different flavors with the sweetness of the fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) and tropical fruit to the other flavors of the mixed greens, tomatoes and crab meat. Very delicious. The entree was a special for the night that was was chamazing with pecan crusted pan seared halicut cheeks with sides of mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus with also a side of sauteed spinach. I love my greens. The dish was a hefty portion, but so good. The combo of sweet potato with the halibut made for a killer taste. For dessert, the waiter said that the bananas or the peanut butter mousse cake were the best so I went with the mousse cake just becaue he said it was addicting. It was goo but not the best dessert I've ever had. Very good though. I'll have to get the bananas next time. There are televisions everywhere with plenty of noise abound. There was about a twenty minute wait but that's fine with me. I walked some college football and baseball while waiting. Those crazy Red Sox. TVs everyweher so no worries there. This is great for a night out with some buddies or for a business pow-wow. Enjoy. It's hard to find, but right behind the Lenox Mall on the first left on Peachtree after the mall. Surprisingly, priced very well for what you get.
(5)Nestor R.
Food and service leave a lot to be desired. I only come here because of the terrace and cigar smoking. If the food and service were better, I would be here a lot.
(2)Daniel F.
Food quality is surprisingly high given the somewhat unusual 'high-end' sports bar theme. Food is well proportioned, excellent cooked, and nicely presented. The New York strip I had on my second visit was perfect. Side asparagus (very well prepared, i.e. not overcooked!) and fries (which were fantastic!). Fish tacos on the first visit were tasty, Caesar salad good too. On both visits, service has been outstanding. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Prices are not sky-high, either.
(5)Dj S.
Visited Atlanta for the weekend and my wife wanted me to try out Dantanas since shes eaten there before. I gotta say I was impressed. The restaurant has sports bar feel to it, but more upscale. We started with the sautéed blue crab fingers which were awesome. My wife ordered the chapino, the half order was huge and full of flavor. It had half a lobster, mussels, pollock, and shrimp. It also comes with a big bowl of linguine. No way one person can eat all of it. I had the heart attack burger, this thing is a monster. Two grilled cheese sandwiches with a fried egg and burger between it. To be honest the burger is a little ridiculous. You can't pick it up because everything falls out of it and unfortunately they didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked so it came out like a hockey puck. Overall the food and service is good, price wasn't bad because of the portion size. 4 stars.
(4)Jenny D.
I've tried so many restaurants since I've moved to Atlanta and this one is one I would not bother going back. That is my opinion, my husband on the other hand did like this place and will come back. Here are a few of our points. Ordered crab bisque - too salty in my opinion. However, we did have good experience with the waiter. My husband and I told the waiter we were going to split the bowl of soup to start with and the waiter offered to split the soup in 2 cups to make it easier to share. Kudos to the friendly and professional waiter. Sorry I forgot his name For our entree we ordered - Dantanna's Cioppino - Which is Maine lobster, Alaskan king crab, shrimp, mussels & fresh fish in some kind of tomato sauce. It was very spicy and although it looked GRAND, huge plate, whole lobster, king crab, big portion of everything - I wasn't loving it. I felt the lobster was overcooked, crab too salty and spicy, and way too much fish. My husband and I are big eaters and could not finish our entrée. You should be very hungry if you order this! I think my husband enjoyed this more than I did...although it was very spicy and he is a big fan of HOT food! The place seemed good for large tables. There was 3 large parties going on when I was there. All 20 - 30's looking like they were celebrating someone's birthday, lots of alcohol involved. There is also a cigar bar in the restaurant that my husband has visited a few times. He's says it's a nice place to chill because you can smoke, watch TV and they also bring food to you if you want. But don't worry you won't smell it in the restaurant section.
(2)Theresa G.
I've tried several items on the menu - all amazing! My favorite place to go watch my St Louis teams play when in Atlanta for work. They are always willing to turn the game on since they have several TV's and remember me when I come in, even if it's been a few months. Can't beat great service and great food - whether you sit at the bar or in the restaurant!!
(5)Gary G.
I didn't expect much walking in, the look reminded me of a higher end chain restaurant sports bar. However, my opinion changed significantly after witnessing the efforts of a superb waiter, noticing the prices for the area were actually not the worst, and the food was presented well and pretty tasty! My dish wasn't my favorite, so they were teetering on 4 and 5 stars for me, but who knows, maybe the next visit I'll try something different and bump it up to 4.5! (I'll round up of course ;)
(4)Luckie D.
Why 3 stars......I continue to come here for the patio, the location abd the NFL football games. This IS the upside. Had the bloody Mary bar today it was perfection. The food continues to disappoint. Flavorless wings and a below avg burger. Let's face it this is not the place for great adult food or inspired creations. Dantannas remains a great sports bar struggling with it's identity, who wants to be accepted as a restaurant.
(3)restaurant r.
For a sports bar the food is out of this world! We got in around 1am and found they served until 2am so we tried a few things off the menu. The Reuben was great, chicken sandwich was amazing and the wine list for a sports bar wasn't that bad. We loved the server- she was so sweet! I never expected the food to be good here but I am so happy it was:) We will be back!
(4)Brian J.
Dantanna's in Buckhead is one of my top favorite restaurants in Atlanta. A good friend and I went there for dinner tonight and had a wonderful dining experience. This was my third visit to the restaurant in the past three years. Both the host and our server were very friendly and attentive. I started off with one of their signature cocktails made with tequila, fresh blackberries, ginger beer and few other ingredients that I can't remember. It was delicious. I dined on a thick cut grilled Berkshire pork chop with granny smith apple slices in a bourbon sauce. The chop was cooked perfectly and had that smoky grilled flavor all the way through to the bone that I loved. I ordered the bacon braised kale and a loaded baked potato for my two sides which were both tasty. My friend ordered the peppered salmon fillet entrée which she enjoyed. I ordered the chocolate mousse pie for dessert that was actually too large to eat in one sitting. So I took most of my dessert home with me. If you want a dinner spot that has top chef quality surf and turf dishes with great drinks, then Dantanna's in Buckhead is the place for you.

Very good food! It's an upscale sports bar located in the upscale part of Atlanta called Buckhead. It has a great atmosphere and huge TV screens everywhere. Sort of a combination of 'Ruth's Chris/ESPN Sports Zone'. Service was good, they had to return two of our plates back for wrong side items, but it was rectified in a timely manner. For our appetizer, we ordered a fabulous lump crab cake which was true lump crab meat and not canned minced. We ordered steaks for dinner. The steaks have a choice of different rubs, my family chose the garlic rub. We each ordered a ribeye, sirloin & butterflied filet, all cooked exactly like we wanted it. The garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect. The Mac-n-Cheese had bacon bits which have it that southern twist. Needless to say, our plates were empty :)
(5)Kimberly G.
I absolutely adore Dantanna's! I feel it's extremely underrated. I've been here three times & two of those times, had the BEST steak cooked exactly how I asked. Garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus are both amazing, as well. Love their drinks & the bartenders & servers are all super pleasant & friendly. They have a great outdoor patio, lots of tv's, but the place is a little dark. Great for date nights or just dinner with friends. Sat at the bar one night this past weekend for wine & can't say enough good things about the bartenders. Super nice. I love this place & it's a go-to for dinner. Great location in Buckhead within walking distance of Lenox mall & multiple hotels.

A friend of mine from L.A. was in town for a weekend and felt like having a good steak for dinner, but obviously not at a restaurant that can also be found in California. We turned to good ol' Yelp for a steak place near his hotel in Buckhead, and we came across Dantanna's. Located next to Lenox Square Mall, it was pretty close, so we decided to try it out. At first, we were told we would have to wait a while unless we wanted to sit in the patio area. My friend didn't really care, as long as he got to watch the USC vs. Oregon football game from where we were seated. The patio was spacious and pretty empty - except for the couple that was smoking. Now I don't know about you, but I hate the smell of cigarettes - especially while I'm trying to eat. So, after trying to tolerate the stench for a few minutes, I finally just told my friend that I'd rather wait for however long we needed to wait than sit out here and EAT while inhaling second-hand smoke. He didn't care either way, so I told the hostess that we would wait for table inside. Fortunately we only needed to wait about 10 minutes for a table (after the hostess had initially told us it would be like 20 to 30 minutes). And luckily for my friend, the USC vs. Oregon game was on the screen directly in front of our table. Although I am a Trojan, I was never really into football and didn't care about the game. I was really hoping the steak was good because I just kinda sat there (with my back to the screen) while my friend was enjoying the game. After looking at the menu for a few minutes and being a little appalled by the prices, I decided to order the 8 oz Top Sirloin ($21!!!) cooked to medium temperature. My friend ordered the 14 oz Ribeye ($28). All steaks come with your choice of two sides, and I decided on the Bearnaise Mushrooms and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. I thought the sirloin steak was good, but not the best I've ever had. And I recall that it was cooked more medium-well than medium, but I didn't want to complain to the server. The Bernaise Mushrooms, which looked to be a mixture of two or three different types of mushrooms cooked in the buttery and herb-infused Bernaise sauce, were really flavorful and delicious. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were also very good. However, I could not see how the price of $21 could be justified! To top it off, when I got my check, I noticed that the server had added a couple bucks as an "extra charge" for ordering the Bernaise Mushrooms as one of my sides. The check indicated that it was a "premium side" or something. Funny thing is, nowhere on the menu does it indicate (with an asterisk or separate section) that any of the sides were "premium" sides that one would be charged extra for. So I informed my server, who then had to "check on this" and then came back with the corrected check. I know that Dantanna's is supposed to be an "upscale" sports bar type of restaurant, but maybe that's what I hate most about it. I mean seriously, this is NOT a nice place to go with someone who does not enjoy watching sports. However, my friend seemed to like this place as he got to watch the game he thought he was going to miss AND enjoy his 14 oz Ribeye. Two birds with one stone for steak and sports lovers! Overall, I feel that Dantanna's deserves 2.5 stars. The service was just "meh," my steak wasn't cooked as I wanted it, it was overpriced, they tacked on an unnecessary extra charge, and I just did not like the idea of the upscale sports bar. I feel like a place should be either a nice restaurant OR a sports bar, but it can't be both. Although the food was good, I strongly feel that it's overpriced and would not recommend this place to my friends. I do not plan to return. [Review 008 of 366]

Dantannas is a typical steakhouse. I went here with friends while visiting Atlanta, and I really enjoyed my meal. I was HONGRY when I got here as I had been driving for hours and didnt eat anything so I was ready to stuff myself - and STUFF I did! I got the flash fried crab claws as an appetizer - YUM. I got the 14oz. ribeye - bigger than I normally like it, but oh well. I got it with the Oscar topping, which is a cream sauce and jumbo lump crab with sauteed mushrooms & bleu cheese mashed potatoes. The food was GREAT! The steak was cooked just the way I wanted it - medium. And dessert, yes, I threw caution to the wind and had dessert. Not just any old dessert, but freakin KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING!!!! It was amazing. I was so full, I couldnt finish it, but I loved that I tried it. The service was good. Drinks & food came fairly quickly and the waiter was accommodating. If youre in Atlanta and in search of a great steak - check this place out!
(4)Natascha H.
The food is SO good. I started off with their chicken and artichoke soup - delicious! Then I had a salad - and two sides - don't judge! The Mexican corn was so good. The best part of this amazing meal was the chocolate pie. It just melted in my mouth! Our server Johanna was great as well.. Very professional with great suggestions! Oh, and the take out boxes were cardboard and not styrofoam and I loved that, as styrofoam doesn't recycle. We shall be back!
(5)A M.
Service is not too awesome but food is!! Loved our BCS burger! Oh calamari so fresh and delish (small portion though - too bad), and don't get me started on Mac'n'cheese :| it was Christmas in my mouth!!! Server got better later on... :/
(4)Blake T.
Service was average. The sweet tee wasn't sweet at all, I kept having to ask for another one. The food came out in good time and it was good I must say. Burgers are huge! Nice establishment.
(3)Gina S.
Good food but the service I had from Ashley made this experience OUTSTANDING. So pleasant and professional. I was worn out from a long couple days of travel and work but Ashley reminded me that the power of kindness revives the soul along with a good chicken salad. Huge kudos to thos restaurant for hiring the right people!
(5)S A.
Pretty good BCS Burger. Very juicy! Would be cool if there was a game on. Calamari was very fresh too. They definitely use quality ingredients. I will be back to try other items..
(4)David L.
Came here for the first time yesterday and was not pleased. It was the only place around that closed late. The place was nearly empty and our server was horrible. She never offered us any water, didn't leave any silverware for us, and was nowhere to be found when we wanted to check out. We had to check out with the manager. In addition, Our steaks were over cooked. Don't think I will be back...
(1)Jim M.
Don't sit at the bar unless you are comfortable being hit in the head by the server tray. Even better was when he said, "you arright" and kept walking. Definitely put a damper on the evening.

This was one of the main highlights on my mini vacation to Atlanta. Sports fan, keep on reading. My curious mind wanted something different; I decided to come along and ride on a fantastic voyage to the Buckhead neighborhood. I had Dantanna's on my list of places to check out for dinner. Upon arrival, you'll notice a dimly-lit, semi-upscale sports bar in the center, while restaurant style tables sit on the left-hand side. Oh yeah, and just a couple huge flat-screen TVs right behind the bar. Honestly, I thought the crowd would be a little younger; I had to be the youngest male in the establishment. No, I did not stay around long enough to figure out if this is a Cougars bar. Nonetheless, there was a sexy vibe that could be felt throughout on the Friday night I attended Dantanna's. I fail to remember the name of my bartender/waitress, but she was attentive and friendly throughout. There was another waitress who came in some time thereafter to provide backup, and she was friendly as well. From the menu, I ordered the Buffalo wings. The wings came out just the way I like my wings, HOT. Napkins were drenched, water was gulped, blue cheese was dug into, and I finished a happy camper. The Buffalo Wings were priced a little more than what you can get somewhere else, but I was content on trying something on the menu without breaking bank. It was a safe, but good choice. There was not a big sports game on at the time of my stay at Dantanna's, but I would like to think that it gets crowded here when a good Falcons/Braves/Bulldogs game is televised. Would I come back to Dantanna's? Absolutely. Would I recommend Dantanna's? Of course. Will I find out if Dantanna's is a cover up for a cougar's bar? To be continued.

The atmosphere is great.... I absolutely LOVE this place. Can't wait until I go back.
(5)Thomas W.
The menu is very attractive to those who want something different. The mimosa is a good choice too. The mimosa with tge red bull in it is interesting. It didn't make me feel like I was on an energy high which was great but I want tonight out that the crab cake.............. I had to take a moment. It is PHENOMENAL! I high five the chef or whom ever derived the recipe. I'm a Carolina boy so I know good crabcakes! Now, this thing called a steak. Baby these here people had me at the presentation. It was soooooooooo freaking delicious. The flavors you can vary so far as a rub or marinade etc. I love tasting new stuff but I wouldn't mind a second round here.
(5)Matthew V.
The Salmon is really good.. The service is almost on point.
(4)Yisi L.
This is a standard sports bar in Buckhead area. Like other reviews said there are multiple TVs play different sports channel. Went there for lunch with coworkers on chick-fil-a football game day so it was packed with fans from NC and TN. I had fish taco with mango salsa and asparagus. The fish taco and mango salsa actually taste good; however it was way too soft and wrapped in a weird way so my hands got really messy. Attention: avoid messy food when it is a formal business lunch... The asparagus were too thin and overcooked.

I ate here for dinner Friday night while in Buckhead for a wedding with 2 other couples. They were able to take a reservation for us with just a couple of hours' notice. When we arrived a bit early, we were promptly seated to our table. The ambiance was upscale - great dimmed lighting and very posh. I immediately felt that we made a great choice. Our waitress was excellent, joked around with us as we got lively and recommended an excellent wine for us to go through at least 3 bottles of together (The Pessimist). Apps - crab and artichoke dip from the main menu and a scallop hush puppy over arugula from their special menu. Both were to die for! It was plenty to share with one order of each. Salads - Across our table, we tried the Ceasar, the Wedge and the Arugula & Finocchioni salads and had clean plates with no complaints. Main - I ordered the Carpetbagger-Style Flat Iron Steak ($24). It came topped with two fried oysters, Marchands de Vin & Béarnaise. The flavor was so savory and it was cooked perfectly medium-rare. The special Pork Chop dish was also a table favorite and was a thick cut, generous portion. I got to taste a bite and was in total agreement. Sides - Blue cheese mashed potatoes were a hit as well as perfectly cooked asparagus spears and sautéed mushrooms. I enjoyed my béarnaise mushrooms and sautéed garlic spinach. The flavors in every bite I had at Datanna's were agreeable and so savory. Afterwards, we were too stuffed to go out bar hopping or dancing but were able to manage a night cap at the hotel bar after the short walk back. If they opened up in Dallas, I'd be first in line!

I am in town traveling for work and was looking for something different. I went to eat alone (boohoo) but didn't feel alone as the hostess and waiter (Kevin) were very friendly and fantastic! Kevin let me know where they sourced their ingredients (local farms primarily), not because he asked but because they are proud of this! They are apparently known for their wines, but I enjoy beer instead. They have a great selection of local and craft brews. I started with some hush puppies, they were unlike any I have had before. They were light, came with some greens and a fantastic sauce. The corn inside kept them moist, and they weren't saturated with oil. I ordered the special for that day which was stuffed Ahi Tuna with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted green beans. The mashed potatoes and green beans were fantastic sides! The potatoes were straight forward but well seasoned certainly real/fresh potatoes. The green beans were also fresh and roasted well, served cooked and crisped, not soaking in some liquid. The Tuna was stuffed with seasoned fresh crab, and topped with a peppered hollandaise sauce. I asked for a rare cook on the fish, and it was cooked perfect. It was a generous, thick, cut of Tuna. It was seared perfect, and just barely warmed to the center. The stuffed crab was nice inside, and the sauce was fresh, and just the perfect amount. If I find myself back in Atlanta, I will definitely return.

The only reason I can give this place a two is that the appetizer was good. Other than that, the food took too long before it was delivered which may explain why my fries were cold. My burger was utterly disgusting and it left me with a horrendous aftertaste. My friend ordered the shrimp and said it had no flavor at all. On top of that the waitress was unpersonable and appeared to be put out having to take our order.
(2)Bob S.
The food is good particularly the Braised Lamb Shank. The service is excellent. However once I could not find a seat at the bar however that's what happens at a good restaurant.
(5)Mark M.
The food was very good, but it is noisy. Overall the options for steak preparation, speed of service, and the sweet tea will make me a returning customer. The distracting televisions and close proximity of seating is worth it.
(3)Scott S.
Nice decor. Mostly attentive service. Plenty of TV's. Really good burgers. The only drawback? The fries are terrible. Any sports bar (and that's what it is, albeit an upscale one) needs to offer great fries.
(3)Tristen L.
We sat at the bar and had Lobster Claws which were awesome. Mac n Cheese was okay. Fried Oyster Rockefeller great also. Gloria was our bartender she was very knowledgeable and attentive.
(4)Sarah S.
I'd give Dantanna's 2 stars at best, and only because the food was decent. The atmosphere at 9 pm was awful. We sat in the dining room. If you face the back of the dining room, you are going to be dealing with a disco ball type of light show based on where their projector is located. The back wall has mirrors that also catch the light so it gives off an abandoned bar at 3 am feel even at 9pm. Plus the light ray from the projector hits the mirrors and shines back in your eye. Our server was ok at first. Orders taken correctly and service was prompt until it seemed she got a few too many tables. I know this isn't her fault but she was clearly flustered. The manager then delivered our food to the wrong table, figured it out, picked it up off their table and brought to ours. After waiting almost 10 minutes to see our server to get our table cleared and to get our check, we finally just sat our credit card on the edge of the table to give our server a hint. She grabbed it up, and we expected her to ring our check and return it immediately (the register was 6 feet at most from our table). However, she walked around with our card in her apron for 5 minutes, and even went to her purse to grab cigarettes WITH our card in her apron! Finally she walked back by and I asked for our check and our card back. She seemed to have forgotten completely that she had even grabbed it! Another server was yelling over tables to the host that they were all going out and that she had better come with them! Overall, yuck. Decent food is not enough to save an experience like that.

I initially went with three stars, but had to bump it up a notch because of the service we received from the bartender. Wow, he was definitely on his game that night very friendly and his descriptions of dishes on the menu almost made me want to order one of everything he was describing. This place is definitely the spot for an after work happy hour, as it was pretty busy around 6, and the whole bar area was packed with people watching the games on TV. *read: great spot for singles* The food (Ruben sandwich) was plentiful and pretty good.
(4)Kellie N.
Great place. I love sitting at the bar and having dinner. The after-work crowd is great. The bartenders are very nice and interactive...and the food is really good. I had the wasabi tuna and it was AMAZING! The TVs are great for watching sports while enjoying a cocktail and food. The restaurant side looked nice...I'll have to go back and take friends to sit on that side.
(4)Cherry L.
DUDE, the steak here is AMAZINGGGGGGG holyyyy molyyyyyyy didnt think much of the beer/bar/etc....bc we were here for MEAT! haha I got the 14 oz New York Strip (medium rare plus) and my friend got the 20 oz Cowboy Cut Ribeye (Pittsburgh--blue on the inside & charred on the outside). Both were cooked PERFECTLY and seasoned PERFECTLY. omg I would like some right away....right now..... had a bowl of their she crab soup. it was pretty tasty, but got a few crab shells....so weird....maybe this indicates...the.....freshness of the crab?? but there really werent that many chunks of crab....soooo....hm? -1 star bc of the price.... it was much much much much more expensive than anything else on the menu, both around $30. but really +1 star bc it was so delish.

Dantanna's rests in a part of Atlanta where it is seen and be seen. While traffic can be murder to get there, parking is plentiful and the food? Awesomeness. In a swanky shopping district, I easily assumed Dantanna's was a upscale, "couples only" (my way of saying avg. dish price greater than $25), stuffy, small portion spot. I was fortunately wrong. The restaurant needs to emphasize the "sports bar aspect" because it really is one at its roots. Large projectors, active bar and delicious food with grand portions (almost close to the majesty of Marietta Diner [check them out too!]). It is a classy space, but a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. My only points of gripe are the lack of various menu items (asparagus, broccoli, baked potatoes, cowboy ribeye and skirt steak) and an attached cigar shop which perfumed the dining area with a light rancid smoke scent, of which I am not a fan. However, Atlanta just came out of another mini-ice apocalypse for deliveries and Valentine's day was this past Friday (I went here on Sunday), so the lack of items was understandable to me. Service was quick and friendly for our party of 7 with predominately steak/bigger items. Also, they have a killer rewards program; you can get $25 off your order during your birthday month and points that accumulate to chef-catered dinners, freebies, etc. I love that sort of thing. Not a 5-star for the lack of items and smoke, but a great experience overall. Will definitely be back for the specials and food.
(4)Jake K.
The good thing about Dantanna's is that 1) it's open late; 2) it has plenty of TVs; and 3) it's open late. When you're in town for a conference and other bars chase you out, Dantanna's will continue to serve you well into the night. The layout is interesting - it has a bar...then a ring of bar stools and bar seating behind it. Reminds me of an old drive in movie theater...for sports viewers who drink. I love it. Bar tenders were friend - the only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because when I ordered a crab dip and asked for the large size, I got some tortilla chips and the size of a cup of soup, not a crock like you'll get in other places. Yet I was charged for crock prices. No bueno. The drunk fatty in me needs food, not snacks when inebriated.

This place is a consistent dinner spot for me. The bar and atmosphere of a big-box chain betrays what is really a well thought out and solid menu. It's the perfect place to bro out as a young professional. There are sports screens galore and it's a reliable place to get something tasty and healthful for the right place in the right location at the right time. I think you can't really go wrong, if you have the expectation you're just looking for a solid experience. You don't need to be overwhelmed every time, and sometimes you just want a big hunk of meat with two sides, you know? This being said, I think there are some things you can get and avoid: Get: broiled crab claws. supplement that with a lighter entree (i.e. fish special or salmon). what you could do is also the beef short ribs, easily one of the best choices on the menu. All of the specials are good deals and worth getting--be confident knowing that they're really not trying to rip you off with the bottom-of-the-bucket leftovers. I really believe they try. Don't get: salads are weak here. you can do better at a salad bar if you really know what you're doing. If you need your veggies, there's really nothing nothing wrong with them. Note that the reuben is great, and the seafood cioppino is loaded with hake, squid, and maybe some clams/mussels. I would not really recommend the cioppino as it seems to be stewed with some of the leftover cuts of fish, but then again, that's really what the intent of a true cioppino is. Nothing wrong with it flavor wise, and it is really a good deal. I've eaten here maybe 2 or 3 times a month over the last 2 years.

I appreciate the hours of operation and have certainly been in there late night. This time, I dined on a Sunday, when the Bloody Mary bar is open and you, the customer is allowed to approach and "build your own BM". I did not drink on this day, rather chose some She Crab soup. It is so creamy and wonderful, it's good for a stomach that's not so great or on a cold day. I started with an appetizer, the Fried Oysters. They were okay, too much hollandaise on them and too much breading on the oysters, but delightful still. Chose the cheeseburger, solid! I really appreciated my server who kept my sweet tea full, and when I wanted "just a bite" of a dessert, she rounded up chocolate pieces from the kitchen.
(4)Christina K.
Love this place! Went back there last week with the boss for lunch. He had the burger which from the crumbs he left on his plate was pretty good! And i had the lump crab berry salad. The service was impeccable, always coming back at the right time, leaving us to talk long enough, etc. When she first brought out the plates, I was so happy with my salad, but once I started eating I realized that the lettuce proportion overwhelmed the berries and what little crab there was. I mean, if I'm paying more than $10 for a salad, please give me more than just fluffed up lettuce ok? I'll definitely go back cause the food is just that damn good. Just won't order the salad anymore!
(4)Aleesha W.
I was a first time vistor last night and Nicole our waitress was awesome! Nicole is very much a people person and she made us feel very comfortable. I will definitely visit again. My food was delicious, Nicole was very attentive to our needs and the atmosphere was great.
(5)A.J. C.
Gotta love Dantanna's by the mall. Good food. Great atmosphere. Sports. Alcohol. And hotties everywhere.
(4)Michael B.
After about a year of working across the street from Dantanna's I decided to finally give them a try last week. From first glance after walking in it appears that Dantanna's is an overpriced sports bar, but that is what one would expect next door to Lenox Mall. The prices here are reasonable for the area, and the service and food were great making it worth the money spent. For lunch I asked the server for her recommendations and she suggested the Rubin sandwich, so I went with that. The Rubin was delicious with it tender corn beef on marbled rye with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. The fries that came with the Rubin were just OK; would have been better if they used fresh cut fries that I was expecting from a place like this. Overall, Dantanna's provides a great meal. The food is good and the service is great. I'll be heading back over for lunch soon!
(4)Samantha L.
Over the years, I've passed this restaurant many times. My husband and I finally decided to give this place a try and we keep coming back for obvious reasons. We've ordered the She Crab Soup every time we come here, I think the soup is good, but my husband raves about it! I've had the Wasabi Tuna (rare) with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic spinach - very good dish. I would have really wanted more shiitake-soy glaze on my tuna, but I can live with the way they made it. One of our friends had the Braised Lamb Shank, and he said it was very good. I didn't try it because I don't like lamb. The steaks are also good here, but I've only had it with Dantanna's house dry rub, so I can't really tell you how the sauces are. Overall, our experiences are always good, and I never had a bad experience here, and the service it great, so I will be back.
(4)B A.
Only reason I have it a 2 was the fact they their food wasn't horrid. Another reason I have them a 2 is because they gave me a beer glass with lip prints on it. I will post photo. Don't order the mussels and baked Brie together because you might think your eating the same thing. The fish and chips and burgers are just average or sub par. They do have a nice large selection of beer in bottles not on tap sadly.
(2)James H.
Came here with some friends for drinks after work. Was greeted by a sweetheart named Bre. It was my first time coming here and she made some great suggestions for food and dessert! We ordered some drinks(whiskey,scotch) and a few appetizers. Lobster Lollipops- They were excellent Duck Braised nachos- Need I say more. These were great with loads of duck on them! Short rib stuff peppers.- always a great choice. Main course 18oz ribeye cooked perfectly Pork chop- Was huge and tasted great Venison Burger- The goat cheese was an excellent addition to this burger Dessert...Of course we got the Krispy Kream Pudding. It was pretty large which was great as the three of us shared it. The huge scoop of ice cream on top was a plus. Overall. Bre our server made it a great night. Food was excellent, but prepare to spend some money.
(4)Mary Louise S.
Fabulous food and attentive staff. Had the wasabi tuna and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly! The crab artichoke dip was creamy and full of crab taste. The calimari was delicious and the sauces were a great accompaniment.
(5)Adam Y.
Giant projection screen, the bartender just assuming you want a beer refill, because you do and pouring it and a seat front and center at the bar, priceless. Dantanna's as a pure sports bar gets 5 stars, the main television is a gigantic projection screen hanging over a large bar area, 10ft screen maybe. The large screen is surrounded by multiple small screens playing every game at the moment, ADHD folks will delight in the set up. The reuben sandwich was excellent plenty of 1000 island, loaded with corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut, just a great ratio. The bartender, Steve, gets his own shout out for great service!! Good work Steve, keep the life saving stories coming.
(5)Andrew W.
Pretty good food. Prices seem about right for what we ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. Wait staff seemed like they didn't want us to know the specials, he had to be a speed talker because I caught about half of what he said. I would go back but nicely ask to have them talk a bit more slowly. We are in the south you know.
(4)Greg T.
I eat here a couple of times when I lived in Atlanta and had some very good meals here. I would go back if I was ever in the area.
(4)Ms. W.
I can say I enjoy this place. It's nice, not too pricey, the staff is always friendly, helpful and always readily available for any quetsions or concerns. The margaritas are delicious. Their handmade mixer is by far the best I've had in a while at a restaurant! Whether we went on a good day or the bartenders are just on it, the margarita makes the trip from the 'burbs into the city well worth it! I love a rare steak and some places are leery about serving them and want to suggest a medium well steak...Uhh, I understand the health concerns, but I like a rare steak! I can get a steak the way I like it at Dantanna's. I do not smoke cigars but Honey does so we've taken a "look-see" and he has vowed to return to enjoy a cigar and cognac. I will return again, and again!
(4)Caitlin G.
I like dantanna's, it's a good place to get dinner or drinks, nothing special. My dad would kill me if he knew I wasn't giving it 5 stars since he's basically a regular, but it's not all that spectacular in my opinion. The bar area is huge and has tons of tv's so it would definitely be a great place to watch football games with friends. It does get somewhat crowded however. The dining room area is also really good, and I like the menu. I had the seafood special of the night, I believe it was grouper, and it was really good! Our service was good too, no complaints! Bonus, huge parking lot!
(3)Brian M.
Pricey for the quality of the food. Angus Burger still had some of the hoof in the meat, I spent more time extracting pieces of bone and grizzle out than enjoying the flavor. Fries were old. Beer selection was good but no draft specials. I would recommend going to another place if you have the choice.
(2)James S.
The food here was great! Still has that sports bar vibe but won't give you heartburn like those cheaper places.
(5)Merrill O.
This place is a perfect example of why I always ask hotel doormen for recommendations, versus the concierge, when I'm looking for a sports bar. This place was awesome! Nice flat screen TVs everywhere...even outside on the patio...and they were all tuned to sports. Friendly bartenders that make it a point to shake your hand and introduce themselves when you sit down at the bar, which I thought was a nice touch. Special kudos to the bartenders Rob and Tyler(?) for being attentive without being annoying...perfect service, guys! And the food was also great...always a nice perk at a sports bar, to have tasty alternatives to hot wings and potato skins. All in all, next time I'm in Atlanta for business, I will definitely be grabbing dinner and watching a game (or two) here!
(4)Malcolm C.
For an upscale sports bar this place was terrible. The tuna with crabmeat came with no crab meat and missing the side of sweet potato mash. The manager never acknowledged the problem, just re-delivered the plate. The hamburger had over ten pieces of grizzle that I pulled out. The caesar salad came with a vinaigrette instead of the caesar dressing, effectively rendering it not a caesar salad. And to top it off...the waitress left the dessert menu and literally never returned to see if we wanted anything. A random bartender literally dropped our check off without so much as a word, and that was that. Never saw our server again. After waiting for her we just had to take our check up to the hostess. Overall very disappointing. Maybe an off-night, but most definitely not worth the money. Too many other restaurants that were are better to enjoy...don't waste your money or your time.
(1)Allie W.
What's not to love about Dantanna's? Cute, friendly, personable bartenders? Check. Great food? Check. Nice atmosphere? Check. I went here last night with my buddy for single ladies Valentines. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't overly packed but that all changed within an hour or so. There was about a a 70/30 split of men to women there. We sat at the bar and immediately Rob introduced himself w/ a handshake (which I thought was nice.) While we decided what we wanted 2 of the other bartenders (Eric and Tyler) came over and did the same thing. We ordered drinks (good drinks) and then dinner. I had the Wasabi Tuna w/ asparagus and mushrooms. DeLISH! It seemed to be a popular dish b/c the bartenders high-fived me when I ordered it and I saw most of the men at the bar get the same thing. My friend had the salmon. I didn't try it but she said it was great. We had the Krispy Kreme bread pudding for dessert. I must say that it is heaven on a plate but very rich so it is better if you share it. Everyone was very attentive, funny, and nice in addition to the food being great I am now a fan and will be returning.
(5)Feltonya F.
This place is pretty good. I usually end up making a meal of 2 or 3 appetizers (oysters Rockefeller & goat cheese with marinara) Lol I've yet to actually have ordered an entrée.
(3)Victoria H.
I was so excited about "great food meets a sports bar". The food was alright and the service was terrible. I'm a waitress and understand a couple mistakes, but this was more than that. Asked me two times what bottle of wine I wanted, brought me the wrong one. 4th time got it right. Had to ask for water. Just very disappointing. Even with the cigar lounge, I was not impressed at all.
(2)Monique B.
My friend wanted to go here for his birthday for good real food and the games was on the t.v. Well I can say the atmosphere was great however the server did not offer us the patio which I would have enjoyed and did not realized until we was walking out. The dinner was great! I had the mussels and calamari and my friend had some lobster ricotta dish that he said was awesome. His drink was an apple orchid and I had the seasonal beer which both was great. The downfall was dessert, I got it to go and I had the bread pudding which looked plain and they did not have anymore cream brulee for my friend so he had nothing. The only negative I have for the three stars is after paying almost 100.00 for dinner I had to carry my to go boxes out in my hand because the restaurant did not have any bags and the fact that they ran out of a dessert item for a 8:00 p.m. dinner was not acceptable for a Saturday night. My server Andrew was nice and recommended great options.
(3)Zen I.
In response to David C. of Dantanna's. My review is valid and accurate. I did not bother to read past the first paragraph of your response to my review, because the first paragraph was so bogus, I did not see the point. Your weak attempt to disqualify or down play my review really exemplifies the character of the people working at your establishment. Maybe if you and your staff spent more time treating your customers with consideration and respect you wouldn't have to troll the review sites for bad reviews. I have other things that are way more important to do with my time than to sit online and write reviews. I was reminded of the terrible experience when I was cleaning out my wallet and saw your business card in it. I had meant to write the review much earlier but as I said, your establishment is not a priority in my life. I don't know anyone there in staff or any customers and have only been there once in my life(once too many). So you inferring that I may have an ulterior motive to my review makes absolutely no sense. As I said it was the WORST dining experience I've ever had in my life & that is not an exaggeration. I've been to places across this country and in other countries & yours was the Worst treatment I've ever gotten in my life. So instead of investigating the validity of my review, investigate and properly train your staff on proper customer service instead of giving another customer another reason to speak poorly of you. You can't honestly think people go out to places to have a bad time for the purpose of writing bad reviews-especially on a romantic holiday. Management was just as tacky and ill mannered as the staff was when dealing with the incident, so I'm not suprised at this lame response to my reiew. Work on your people skills.
(1)Michael W D.
I visit Atlanta about once a month on business, and this is usually my first dinner spot. So far, I haven't ordered a single item that was disappointing - I've done the Ribs, the gumbo, three of the burgers and the wings . I've come in groups and I've come alone - didn't matter - great food and exceptional service. I will say don't go on the patio if you don't like Cigars blown in your face - I made that mistake only once. But it's a Cigar place, so I can't hold that against them. I used to own a chicken wing restaurant and someone gave us a low rating once for not serving fish!?!?!? Luckily, no smoking inside, so choose your seat by preference.
(5)Russ M.
I ate lunch here while visiting the Cigar Club next door. They have a close working relationship serving to be a really nice compliment. The server from Dantanna's came into the club to take my order and came back regularly to be certain that I was well served. I chose a salad/sandwich combo, which was very good and a great value. I can hardly wait to go back!
(4)Adam M.
Dantannas is worth it. Although the meals can get a little pricey, I think that the quality is where it needs to be. This is not a place where I'd suggest "blowing it out," but rather a nice Thursday night spot when you dont feel like cooking. As far as being a Sports Bar, I love it. It's got a great selection of alcohol and the TV's are big and well-placed. Also, having the Cigar bar located within is a huge plus. Smoke down a stogie w/ a slice of their chocolate cake and a glass of pinot noir = heaven.
(4)Claudia M.
For a "sports bar", it was ok. Fish tacos are yummy, fries are horrible, mac & cheese with bacon is okay but pretty salty. I think it's a little overpriced. Service was so rude! I'll be watching March Madness at Twin Peaks from now on!
(2)Taylor F.
I have had drinks there many times and enjoyed watching games but not many full dinners. I triied it, I had an unflavorful salmon, bland mash potatoes, and the meal was all around very average. I was disappointed that I couldnt get something I enjoyed as much as wings or burgers or other basic bar food I expected better.
(2)Curt L.
Nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather here in Atlanta. I know the heat is coming. Excellent selection of options on the menu...be it apps or entrees. The burgers looked good but went "non meat" as I ordered the "freuben". A grilled tilapia sammich. Potato salad was my side choice. Portions are big here. Tried the goat cheese app (served with Toast) also...............nothing special there. Lots to explore on the menu here.
(4)Rob O.
Sometimes you can have a nice meal, hang out while friends go to the mall, and all is cool.... That is except for what may at first seem an insignificant detail. Be sure the parking lot guards see you enter the restaurant. If not, your car may be booted and you may be extorted for a $75.00 boot removal fee. Keep your receipt, and call the police. It's the only way to have the boot removed peacefully and without being robbed. Oh..... The restaurant? It's good, but why doesn't the management correct the parking problem? I don't give many bad reviews because there are a lot of very nice places we can choose from in the Atlanta area. But in the future, I'll find a place with good food and atmosphere like Dantanna's..... Without the external hassles.
(1)Stephen B.
Very good food, excellent help from Sean our waiter. My wife had ribeye and i had pan seared salmon and both were magnificant! We finished the evening in the cigar lounge in back but don't worry, if you don't like smoke, you can't smell it even if you sat near the door.
(5)Eric M.
Have visited twice on business for dinner and pleased both times. Good service and food to match. Solo business travel means sitting at the bar, but that is a good thing at Dantannas as the bartenders are friendly and personable, taking the time to shake your hand and learn your name - great touch. Along with the friendly service, the bartenders are very knowledgeable and know the menu backwards and forwards, making for good recommendations. Favorites are the wasabi tuna, fish and chips, stuffed peppers,.and carpaccio. Flavors are spot on and dishes are fresh. All Dantannas needs to get the next star is a true signature dish.

OK FOOD, OK-GOOD SERVICE, LOUD SPORTS BAR, MID-HIGH $, NOT REALLY FAMILY DINING place -everyone ordered steak. Steaks were Ok. Nothing really spectacular. We've had better elsewhere. DH ordered an expensive wine by the glass and it was obvious it had turned as it smelled and tasted bad. Must have been opened, corked and sitting for a while. Server was good, he promptly got another bottle, opened it and poured it in front of us. Good recovery. DH goes here every few months to entertain out of town 'male' clients. DH likes this place. It really is a guy place...everything screams male bonding man cave atmosphere - menu/food items, dark interior, cigar room, a few large TVs blaring sports games (football on when we were there). I wouldn't necessarily say this was a kid/family dining place. It was next door to our Westin Hotel which was convenient. All in all it was an OK experience for our family but we wouldn't come here again as a family. Was crowded and loud on the Saturday night we were there. Lots of very young people, couples on dates, after-work drinking crowd place. I guess it's your typical uppity little overpriced Buckhead Sports Bar.
(2)Jeremy H.
I work across the street from Dantanna's so this is a regular lunch spot for us. The patio is great for nice summer days - they open it up to the inside and also have a shaded part if you need to hide from the rays. The food is not incredible but it's solid - I typically go for a burger, wrap, or sandwich but they have nice steaks and seafood as well. The burgers are really good - I like to get a bleu cheese burger with the fries or potato salad. They have an ok draft beer selection - pretty standard with a mix of domestics and the most popular imports. (think 420, Fat Tire, Peroni, Guinness, etc.) There are TVs scattered throughout, big screens over the bar, and even the patio has TVs all the way around which is nice. Overall, this is a great lunch or dinner place - it's a great place to discuss business over lunch or to come watch a sports game. Solid food, good patio, sports, beer - try it out!
(4)Jane M.
Based on some of the bad reviews, I must have come on a good night. Our waitress was very friendly. We had dinner there, had an appetizer and ordered simple foods, sandwhiches, burgers etc... so not the most expensive entrees. We were still treated nice. The food was pretty good. We'd come back if we were in Atlanta.
(4)Lee M.
You're paying for the location and the name, not the food. Came here with a group after a Yellow Jackets game. The bar was hopping with people watching the UGA game. The food was good, but not worth the price. They do have a few "special" items on the menu you wouldn't find at typical sports bar. We ordered the ciopino and a freuben (fish reuben) to share, as these were highly recommended to us. The ciopino was a major disappointment. Ciopino is supposed to be a good mix of seafood in a tomato broth, it had half a lobster tail, a piece of crab leg about the size of my thumb, one shrimp and two clams. And a ton of overcooked rubbery fish (tilapia?). The broth was good but at the price I'd expect a much better variety of seafood. The freuben was ok, you really couldn't taste the fish at all, it was overpowered by the other ingredients. Sounded like a good idea on the menu, but not so much in person. Another member of our party got a burger, which was good, but comparable to a Chili's or Five Guys at a much higher price. Service was an issue. Our server was aloof, that's the only way I can describe it. She acted like she was annoyed to have our table (Maybe because only two of us ordered beers?). When the check came I put a gift card and my credit card in the book to cover the balance. I watched the server as she picked it up, to be sure the gift card didn't fall out. She rolled her eyes when she saw the gift card. Due to her reaction I kept my eye on her as she walked over to the register. . She swiped the gift card several times, then called over another server and continued to fiddle with it. After a few minutes she walked back and announced to our table (and the rest of the restaurant) "Did you mean to pay for your dinner with this? 'cause there's no money on it." I asked to speak with her manager. When the manager came over she told me, more politely, that my gift card had a zero balance and asked if I had my receipt. Um, no its a gift card, as in it was given to us, so I don't have a receipt. I pointed out to the manager that they probably don't sell people gift cards with $0 on them, so someone must used the balance at some point, right? Was there any way she could check the history so I could know what happened? She said she would look into it. About two minutes later she came back and just said "Nevermind, we're good." So, I have to think the server was not properly trained in using the gift cards, our server ran the balance, but didn't apply it, and then assumed the customer was wrong. Shouldn't the manager have checked into it before embarrassing my party? The fact that they figured it out and the food was decent netted two stars.

FOr an up scale sports bar it good. No smoke unless the patio doors are open then you not only get the cigarette smoke but you get the stinky cigar smoke that is so overwhelming and I have to move from my seat..... But when you want to watch your team play you put up with it I guess. Great wine by the glass picks and beer. The food is good, got the corn beef reuben but get the sauce on the side...trust me... the steaks are good cuts of meat but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money on a steak and suck up the cigar smoke. I'm sure I will be back when my team is on TV but not my TV...

The first time I saw this restaurant I was intrigued by the fact that all of the outdoor tables had their own personal TVs turned to different sports channels. I loved this idea and wanted to give it a try. I finally got the chance during restaurant week. However, when I went, there were no outdoor TVs. I guess they had decided to take them away. We were seated inside. Two waiters showed up, and it was too painfully obvious that one was a trainee. She asked us one simple question..."Have you dined with us before?" And after we said that it was our first time, there was a long and awkward silence. She just kind of stood there and looked at us expecting us to say something more before finally the other waiter stepped in and talked about the menu and the specials. He did a great job, but when he was done explaining and was leaving to give us a minute to look over the menu, the rookie waiter just left without having said another word. We never saw her again that night. It was really strange how that all happened. The food itself was ok, although the desserts were huge! I was only able to finish half of it, and even that was a struggle. Overall it seemed a bit pricey, and if not for restaurant week, I'm not sure I would go again anytime soon.

Overpriced and not that good. Crabcake sliders tasted ok, but so litte crab in them that I had only bread in my hands after 1.5 bites. West coast oyster selection is initially impressive but the servers don't do much to guide you to what's freshest/plumpest/best-tasting for the day. Good wine list, but don't bother asking the servers details, just ask for a taste if you want to know more - the two I approached were completely ignorant about wine and didn't want to be bothered. Lamb burger wasn't bad, but fries were gross frozen excuses for potatoes - for the price they need to put a little more effort into the food, especially given that they bill themselves as an "upscale" sports bar/gastropub. Not quite there, guys.
(2)Amaryllia L.
Came for lunch with a couple co-workers and sat outside on the patio overlooking the Lenox parking lot (yes, this is a good thing). Great customer service AND food! I got the crab & avocado sandwich and it was soooo good! The french fries that came with were also amazing. I'm taking off 1 star since I got sick to my stomach within the next hour and had to take the rest of the day off from work to hang out in my bathroom...however, the crab salad was really THAT good that i'd eat it again any day!
(4)Genevieve M.
Asked if the veggie burger was house-made... server said it was. However, I received a perfectly shaped, ubiquitous gluten, previously frozen hockey puck . So gross and overpriced.

Great service as always! Food is excellent as always. One of my favorite dinner spots!

I've been traveling to Atlanta/Buckhead one week a month for the past 3 years for work. I usually stay at the same hotel and because its close, fairly often I go to Dantanna's for dinner. Since I am usually there alone, I sit at the bar and watch any of the sports they are showing. This place has a lot of TVs...not sure how many, but its a bunch and you can always see the TVs from your seat. This place is an up-scale sports bar. If you like sports and don't want to go to any of the many Irish themed sports pub-type, this is a good alternative. The food is decent, but not great. I've never ordered the steaks so I can't speak to that, but the burgers are decent and some of the appetizers are good (I'm partial to the baked goat cheese). The bartenders are always friendly and in fact, since I go there fairly regularly, they have gotten to know me by name. Not quite like Norm at Cheers, but its nice to be a regular at a bar 2500 miles from home. I'm sure I'll be back to Dantanna's because its close to the hotel and I can watch sports. If I lived in Atlanta I'm not certain I would go out of my way to go there.

Dantanna's has what you're looking for on any day of the week, whether you enjoy prime ribs or an awesome lump crab salad.Dantanna's has an excellent way of creating an upscale sports experience, while still feeling comfortable in watching the game. I would suggest it's the best way to either start the weekend off right or an upscale sports restaurant and bar to hit a late night. I had Sunday brunch there and it was right what I was looking for on a Sunday afternoon. They have a unique upscale brunch menu that is guaranteed to kick off your weekend as well as your favorite game. Menu selections consist of Fried Oysters Rockefeller, Shirred Eggs in Tulips with two eggs baked in crepes with Maine lobster, shrimp and crawfish, and a variety of fresh salads and brunch beverages. What I find so attractive about this place is that you can go with a group of friends after work to watch the game, step out for a date, or grab your girlfriends for lunch to play catch up.
(3)Tunde D.
I've been here twice Loved it the seafood is fresh and you can really taste the difference. The fried shrimp was great the portion was big. The second time I came I sat out side a lil too much smoke but I made it through the night the salmon was awesome.
(4)Stella Y.
Loveee Dantanna's. It's in a great location in the heart of commercial Buckhead. A great place to go after work or after shopping at Lenox. It gets minus one point however for their lack of brews on tap. It's really disappointing how small their selection is. I sadly order bottles when I come here, as they have some cool ales and Oktoberfest. Overall, I would describe this place as an upscale sports bar, because that's exactly what it is. Remove the big screens and shouting sports fans, it's like you're in a semi-fancy establishment. ;) They have some really good dessert and my favorite thing on the menu? Their crab artichoke dip. OMG. It's sooo freaking good.
(4)Betty R.
Dantanna's is great for when you want to watch some sports, but you want a little nicer food/drink options than your local Taco Mac (don't get me wrong, I love me some TM, but sometimes you are just winged and burgered OUT). Watched the Falcons here a couple of weeks ago, and had a nice experience. Good parts: short ribs were awesome, wine list is always great, bartendress Gloria was fun and took good care of us. Bad parts: IT WAS FREEZING IN THERE, and no one seemed to want to do anything about it. Seriously, half the people at the bar were wearing their winter coats. Also, we needed some additional crostini things to go with our baked goat cheese app, and by the time we got them, the app was cold. Bottom line, even if there are some miscues, Dantanna's is a good place to watch sports if you need a change from the usual bar/pub scene.
(3)Shan S.
This place deserves 5 stars. My only problem is that the service wasn't great last time I went. I always sit at the bar or around the bar and the service is beyond perfect. Anyways, now onto why they got the 4 stars. All the food is amazing, I'm stuck on the Organic Mediterranean Pasta. A bit pricey for sure, but a great splitting meal as it is huge. Please ask for extra sauce! You will want it. I also get a side of rolls/bread when I get it. The sauce is not heavy! It is an olive oil based sauce NOT creme based, which allows you to eat a decent size portion and not have to be rolled out. Atmosphere is amazing, lots of TVs and projectors. Location is perfect, right next to Lenox Mall. You won't be disappointed! The steaks look like their specialty so you should prob try them. I'm sure i will one day!
(4)Daniel B.
As soon as you walk in, on the right, there is a bar area with plenty of seating and several huge TV screens with sports playing. Pretty nice if you are there to catch some games. We ate in the sit-down section and ordered dinner. There are a couple projected TV screens in this area. They must have NBA League Pass or something because we were watching a west coast NBA game not on TNT or ESPN/ABC. We got the cajun chicken egg rolls for appetizer (excellent), my friend got the chicken and sausage gumbo soup and fish and chips, while I had the dijon-garlic hanger steak. The portions were generous and all of the food was good, although a little greasy. Service was average.
(3)Christine U.
We went for Restaurant week and it was OK but not worth it. The menu selection seemed good but everything was just a little off. I had She-crab soup, a fillet with a baked potato, and chocolate pie. The she crab soup was too chowdery, you could hardly taste the sherry. The fillet was cooked to the right temperature but the cut was off, I didn't think it was a fillet at first. The chocolate pie was good though.
(2)Adam M.
If you're in Butthead for a business dinner and the attendees are mostly dudes, this joint is a great option to have in your back pocket if you strike out at picking up escorts at Bluepointe or waitresses at Tavern. What? *Seriously questions whether to post that as an opening. Continues* The food here is a little above average as are prices, but it's an "upscale" sports restaurant in Buckhead. I forget the point i was going to make - probably some excuse about being slightly overpriced and how that's to be expected in this neck of the hoods. I'd also suggest Dantanna's for an after-work happy hour locale during a heavy sports season because the bar area TV situation is pretty epic. Seating is spread out stadium style so all seats have a great view of the monster projection screen and dozen or so smaller flat panels. They also project games onto some very futuristic transparent screens hanging in the dining area that so you can rest assured that you'll catch every play as you pretend to enjoy your coworkers story about that thing they did that one time. I've only actually eaten here once or twice, and while what i ate was obviously not remarkable (or else I'd be telling you what it was) that also means i wasn't largely disappointed, either. So there's that. I'm realizing now that this isn't probably a very useful review. So. Pros -TVs galore!!!!1!! -Beers -Some cute girls -Bacon (probably) Cons -You're done with work and still in Buckhead -Excessive stairs from parking lot to door require an inhaler puff Funny, at least?
(4)Tressy M.
GREAT daily specials! Loved the Jimmy Burger!!!! The Cab Sauv wine was terrible.
(4)Stephanie A.
Another dining choice chosen solely by proximity of how hungry one is and how close the dining establishment is (and where one's friends have migrated to after an event) So it was a perfect storm of variables that led me to a sports bar. I said prior to entering If I could see or hear a game I would walk right out. Much to my delight I didn't see or hear anything of the sort. For a Friday night it wasn't uncomfortably crowded. Clean, dark, woody and welcoming. Nice menu! Good service. The food was moderately good and the prices reasonable with a nice range if you're on a budget or want to go all out for steaks. On that note it's good for a group. My group had a good sampling of everything but desserts. The burger got raves. The salad got finished. The surf and turf was licked clean. My fried shrimp was acceptable but forgettable-and had an unpleasant heat, a flavorless heat. Lamb quesadillas were giving off oohs and ahs. I didn't try them (lamb aversion) but everyone seemed perfectly content upon leaving. I will only return if that perfect storm hits again.

Happy to have moved the office to Buckhead! so many new places to hangout at! This is gonna be one of them! Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Incredible Humidor and selection of Cigars! Lunch soup Beef something and half sandwich Avocado and Crab Excellent! Service was a little off today but all in all a go to spot! Short walk from the office!

I don't like giving five stars. Few things make me completely happy. (I relish giving one star reviews - but I'd rather avoid one star experiences) Somehow, nothingless than five stars at Dantanna's seems appropriate. For a place that offers itself as a sports bar, an upscale steakhouse and seafood destination, and even a cigar lounge - success just seems too unlikely. Yet it homeruns on every aspect. With plenty of HD screens, great sound, and fast bar service - Dantanna's is an exceptionally quality sports bar. And if you try to get inside on a Saturday evening, you will find a ton of folks who agree. Plus you can get one of the best burgers in town there while you enjoy the game and a pint. But even with the din, the dining room is quiet and relaxed. I am not a fan of seafood myself, but every person I bring there loves it, especially with a side of their mashed sweet potatoes. The steaks are aged and prepared magnificently, and I haven't had lamb so tasty since I was in Iceland. If you like to endulge in lighting $10 bills on fire, check out the walk in humidor of the Buckhead Cigar Club - located in back of the restaurant. They have a great selection, and a quality smoke completes the steak dinner experience. The clientele is definitely business class, but bar prices and non steak prices are pretty reasonable. And if you can afford it, business class is the only way to go.
(5)Joe H.
20 employees / 10 customers -- nice folks, but this place must be a tax right- off... 20 min plus for 1 doz oysters. Cool music... Go to Steamhouse for oysters
(2)Adam C.
I have since been back to this place several times and quite honestly, the food isn't all that great. Every single menu item I've tried besides the burgers and cheeseburger empanadas is really not all that special or worth mentioning. The service is still very good, they have an awesome patio and the cigar lounge in back is cool. If they could just improve the food quality and provide a better assortment of menu selections, this place could own it.
(2)David T.
Watched the ND vs. UCONN ladies basketball tournament game on their patio, and it turned out to be a good choice. The cheeseburger was excellent, the Reuben looked good, and the PBR was the perfect finishing touch. Plus the service was excellent!!
(4)Jen S.
everything was closed so i decided to give this place another shot and im glad i did! they have a smaller menu selection after a given hour but their menu was decent. my friend and i ended up splitting a bunch of little plates as opposed to getting two entrees which is why i think i enjoyed the meal much more. we ordered the: - she crab cup of soup - crab fingers - wings - spinach salad w/shrimp
(3)Mrs L.
We had Blue Point Oysters (Some of the best I've every had.) Also had an Excellent Ruben Panini & an Amazing Pork Chop perfectly seasoned and prepared. A good place to bring a date. The menu sports a $9 burger on up to a terrific looking cut of grass fed beef at $42. Attire is business casual.
(4)Stephanie H.
We went here for a work team dinner while in Atlanta and yum. If I end up staying in Buckhead again I will definitely come back. I ended up ordering the filet, fries, and asparagus. My biggest disappointment was I asked if the the fries were hand cut and the waiter said they were. When they came out, well, no they weren't. I would have gotten the mashed potatoes instead if I had known that...I had some coworkers get the cioppino, and man I was jealous. Usually it comes like a big stew, but here they serve it on a platter with a little broth and some linguini. And when I say platter, I mean MOUNTAIN of seafood on the 2 person serving. It was a fun time and like I said, I will definitely be back if I end up in Buckhead again. I'll just avoid the fries and get that nommy seafood.
(5)Lauren M.
Solid spot to watch a ball game though it's pretty packed and you have to get there early to get a good spot (or actually any spot is probably more accurate.) the food is good and I'd say it's better than typical bar food-- particularly I had a great salad with lump crab! it is more expensive than a typical sports bar but then again it is nicer/has better food...so that's what you go for!
(3)David B.
Treat a sports bar like a sports bar. Come and order normal sports bar items...burgers, fries, simple things. I made the mistake of believing in the gourmet sports bar concept (this is a fantasy of mine). The tuna was overcooked and I could stomach only half of it. I did order it medium (maybe its my fault) but it was medium well to well done. I had a good time with friends and watched the all star baseball game. There is literally no place in the restaurant where you can't see a TV. Construction on the lower level of the building makes the appearance of the place look less than stellar, however. I will not be back.
(3)Ferdinand H.
I would never had guessed so many people would like Dantanna's so much! I suppose it reflects my general disdain for Sport's Bars. Still, however upscale it might be, the food is not the focus, IMO, and thus the overall affect is lost upon me. That said, it is swank and it has nice screen's. Can't be all bad, I suppose?
(2)Mitzi T.
Cool grill/ high end sports bar atmosphere... The gumbo was tasty and how could I not try the Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding ala mode? Thank goodness I was sharing it, or I'd have easily inhaled all 10,000 calories myself!
(3)Osmond S.
Definitely a fan! Here's a quick list - Very interesting food. I had some strange Crab+Avacado burger which was good. But the gumbo was amazing - one of the best I've ever had. - Good prices - Waiter (Bob I think) was a really cool guy and very friendly - Good atmosphere but still very bar like - Convenient and fast. At least when I went there the service was good and I had no problems at all. Overall, I'm a fan of this place. I would love to eat here all the time, but alas I live in Chicago :( I will be back though!

During a recent outing to Lenox Mall with the family, we decided to break away from the hum-drum restaurants in the mall. As we ventured outside we spotted the sign of Dantanna's across the street. So we all made a mad dash to to it for lunch. We were somewhat earlier [around 11:30am] on a Wednesday and had no problem getting a table. Our waiter was an older gentleman, very helpful but a bit too...well shall we say laid back. He was very straight forward but somewhat lacking enthusiasm. For example, when he mentioned the special for the day he simple said here they are on the daily specials menu. Normally the waiter will read them off with embellishments of mouth water adjectives. But not this time...there it is, read it for yourselves. So we did and guess what...we didn't order any of the specials. But anyway...let's not let the mediocre service ruin the food. So in to the food! For an appetizer we ordered the Crab and Artichoke dip. It was really tasty! There was a generous amount of crab meat and the combination artichoke and cheese was perfect. The only down side was there wasn't enough of it...but it was an appetizer after all. For our entrées my wife ordered the Lump Crab and Berry Salad [Lump Crab, Fresh Berries, and Tropical Fruit over Organic Baby Field Greens, with Raspberry Vinaigrette] along with a cup of the She Crab Soup. My wife thought the salad was wonderful! She loved all the fruit and the crab. She did mention that the Raspberry Vinaigrette had just a bit too much of a honey flavor in it. Now the She Crab Soup...."WOW"! I have to second that wow! I spent a lot of time up in Seattle and this is one of the best She Crab Soups I have ever tasted. The next time I come to Dantanna's I will be sure to order a bowl of it! My daughter and I ordered the Fish Tacos [sautéed fish and shrimp with mango salsa and guacamole]. Now...I have to let you know that I have Fish Tacos at almost every place I decide to eat at...if their on the menu; I order them. So the plate arrives with two tacos rolled up like burritos with a serving of guacamole and some sort of Tzatziki sour cream mixture. Also, there was a small spoonful of the mango salsa placed on top of the two burritos...I mean tacos. Well...they did taste pretty good! They had some spiciness that sneaks up on you. But I have to say...please plate them with a taco holder. I like to put guacamole on my taco....there wasn't any way to do it with out unrolling the taco. Plus the mango salsa was very good...what little there was. Next time please spoon on a couple more spoonfuls. So a bit of constructive criticism to the chef...have one of your Sous-Chefs run over to Lenox Mall and head over to William Sonoma and pick up so taco holders to plate your tacos on. Or change the menu to read "Fish Burritos". Don't get wrong...the entrée was very good...I think the Chef is onto a great dish....the Chef just need to plate it like a taco...so that the guacamole, Tzatziki, and mango salsa can be added to the taco in some sort of logical manner...as to be enjoyed with the taco. Oh, by the way, the tacos are somewhat messy so if you're on a date or trying to impress someone, you may want to pass on these. All and all...the place was a hit. I will certainly go back and at the risk of having something through at me by the chef because I might slip a picture of what a taco holder looks like under the kitchen door.

Another example of how outstanding service can turn a good dining experience into a great one. I used to be a server. In spite of or perhaps because of that fact, I tend to be skeptical of servers that remind me of myself as a server - early twenties, skinny arms, that sort of thing. So I had low expectations for our young, relatively skinny-armed waitress, and she blew me away. As did the helpful attitude I sensed from all the staff at Dantanna's. First, our table for eight was waiting for us when we got there, complete with high chair. The first group of people was permitted to sit at the table before the remainder of the party arrived. I am always extremely pleased with a restaurant when I don't have to wait for stragglers. Second, the server handled the baby situation well. Without being asked, she brought the almost-two-year-old one of those disposable placemats and crayons. The baby's mom asked the server to bring her food out as soon as it was ready, and the server did so, and quite quickly too. Third, when I asked whether the fish tacos could be made without shrimp, she said she thought so but that she would ask. She immediately ran off to ask, and then returned with an affirmative answer. Score! When I asked for a box later, she offered to do it for me, and did so quickly. Fourth, she split the checks without our asking (to my knowledge no one asked), didn't make any mistakes, and was very efficient when running our credit cards. As is probably already evident, I had the fish tacos with no shrimp. They were served with two sides even though the menu suggests you only get one. I picked asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious except for, ironically, the fish. It was too... fishy. It tasted like cheap tuna, but I can't be sure. The desserts looked AMAZING, I'm going to have to go back to try them sometime.

Sports Bar = NO (by Chicago Standards), but fun place for beers, great apps and entrees = YES. We were there on a Wednesday night during the NBA Championship....arrived around 7 (game started at 8) and the restaurant was fairly empty and the bar was 1/2 full (it had been pouring rain)....got a table in the bar and the place slowly filled up. Jephreda provided excellent service through-out the night (even when really crowded) and the food was fabulous! We had the wings as an app (GREAT) and I had the filet (GREAT, GREAT, GREAT). Everyone in Atlanta says this is a sports bar = NO. ONE Big Screen, with 3 smaller screens on each side.....PLEASE come to Chicago to see a sports bar. I will give ATL props for the bar being pretty crowded for the NBA finals......but that is it.....kind of reminds me of Portland and the guys playing a board game during the Trail Blazers playoff game.... Wings HOT (2 @ 9) 18.00 420 Draft (5 @ 4.50) 22.50 Zinf Short Ribs 19.00 (Tom loved these) 420 Draft (4 @4.50) 18.00 Fish and Chips 14.00 (Tony said these were ok) Paulander (4 @ 7.25) 29.00 (excellent beer) 8 oz Filet 28.00 Total - $161.56
(4)Katie D.
Ok, people always laugh at me for this- I always make this my first date place. When a guy asks for suggestions, I mention Dantanna's. Why? If the date goes horribly wrong, at least I can watch some sports in the meantime. My boyfriend and I had our first date here almost a year ago and have been back several times to reminisce. Consistently good food, a great location and an awesome first date place!
(5)Shannan M.
This past Sunday was my first visit to Dantanna's. It was an upscale, cool-looking sports bar with several big screen t.v.'s and a big patio. I ordered the crab and artichoke dip which was actually pretty good! Very rich and gooey...for the main course, i chose the "BCS" burger. No one can mess up a burger, right? Wrong. I was STARVING and I could barely eat 1/2 of it! I ordered it medium, but the middle was more medium rare. My entire bottom bun was soaked in meat juice! Bleh...worst than that, the meat tasted funny. I immediately remembered the "pink slime" phenomenon and promptly pushed my plate back. I probably wouldn't visit Dantanna's again and if I did, I'd stay AWAY from the beef!
(2)Dio S.
This place combines sports bar with a formal surf n' turf. It's pretty unique and convenient. I would say there's slightly more business people on the road in suits here than hipsters, but in any case not your typical sports bar with tons of college kids or locals. It's good for if you want to watch sports and eat more upscale, varied dishes at the same time. Even the late menu retains a lot of the surf n' turf stuff, not just nachos and chicken strips like a lot of places. The food is okay. I hated the philly cheese steak with a passion, but it's a sentiment that I seem to have about a lot of places. The surf n turf dishes are better. Bisque is a little bland. Prices for food is actually quite reasonable consider its location and clientele. Not so reasonable was markup on beers. They carry many good bottled beers, but have a markup that's about 1.5~1.8 times as much as, say, Brick Store a.k.a. beer heaven. Of course, with a cigar lounge on the premise, you might not be drinking beer and opt for the hard stuff instead. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to smoke in a small area and the cigars are marked up badly also. Service is very good. Very comfortable environment and lots of TVs even on the patio. Proximity to prominent Buckhead places. All make up for the problems. Can't say I'm a frequent customer, that's for sure.
(3)Scott P.
The best sports bar on the planet. Big games get there early. Scott is the best bartender ever. He knows the menu like a pro's pro. The food is top notch and so is the service. The outdoor patio is awesome.
(5)Jeffrey C.
Guess what? It was late night on a Tuesday....found myself drinking again with friends...yeah, a Tuesday night. A good buddy and I needed a place with some atmosphere and good food. The Waffle House nearby beckoned.....I shunned it and slipped back to Dantanna's. Was my last trip there a fluke? No, it wasn't. I had another burger...it was delicious. My buddy looked at it and said, "Well, it looks like you ordered the right thing." Oh, yeah, he was right....I was happy. Good little crowd at the bar at 11:30 on a Tuesday. Nice eye candy for both sexes. Surprising note!! You can smoke in the bar late night. Nice for the smoking crowd. If you go, request Frieda....best waitress in the place. !!!
(3)Anonymous P.
LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!! Staff is sooo super sweet and friendly, the service was amazing. Food was phenomenal!!!!!! Had the she crab soup and the tarragon chicken salad.........so so good!!!
(5)Mark F.
It's a nice place. As others note, often I'm alone and sit at the bar for quick service and having other people around. the bartenders here are helpful and knowledgeable. I wasn't starved so I went with one of the nightly specials...Jumbo blackened scallops...I thought great....well, you need to know what Jumbo means, not the same as I've always thought....however, the flavor was great, just a little kick and tasty. But I wanted a little more so I got an order of wings....I got the habanero and mango spicy wings. The sauce was good. Make sure you get a glass of water before you start....after 3 wings it starts to hit. But I didn't ask, the wings are naked (not battered nor breaded) and they say they are deep fried, but they were more like broiled-that's not bad if you expect it. I suggest not ordering the fries...kind of soggy. Based on the scallops, I'd go back and try some of the other signature dishes.
(4)Antonis P.
I've been to Dantanna's several times for the bar, which has a great selection. Last night I went there for dinner for the first time and I was really let down by the food. We started with the wings which were fantastically mediocre. They bordered on dry and the sauce was bland other than just being spicy. I (for whatever reason) thought it'd be a good idea to order the Ciopinno. This was a huge mistake. First off I found 1 dead mussel and the mussels that weren't dead were certainly old as they tasted incredibly fishy. The red sauce of the Ciopinno tasted like canned tomato sauce mixed with dish water and the fish, salmon mainly, (nearly half the dish itself) was obviously old as it had gone grey. Our waitress was very nice and allowed me to order something else. I expected the manager to come to my table, but after 30 minutes I had to ask my waitress to go and get the manager. When the manager finally came, she was rude and suggested that after trying the dish herself, she could see nothing wrong with it, suggesting I was to blame for the problem. My father had a steak which was under seasoned but otherwise fine. I will say that their beer selection was quite good. Otherwise, this was a terrible experience and I won't be going back for dinner ever again. Trust me it's only good for the bar.
(1)Jill S.
Visited Dantanna's last night. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Ordered calamari as the appetizer. It was a bit over fried, so a tad on the greasy side. I was disappointed in the sauces that accompanied the calamari of a cocktail sauce and spicy honey mustard or something...let's step it up a bit and offer some champagne aioli, k?! Anyways, the tables are kind of small so we didn't have much room for our 2 drinks, 2 glasses of water, these huge menus, the drink menu, the specials menu, the salt and pepper shakers and the appetizers...yea, that's a lot on a table! I order the Flank Steak Med-well...I should have ordered it Medium. I asked the waiter how they generally cook their steaks, as you know some restaurants cook more on the rare side so you'll up your temperature or more on the well side so you downgrade your temp. Either way, when I asked the waiter he didn't know what the heck I was talking about and said, oh we cook it how you order it. Ok whatever dude. The grilled asparagus was good, couldn't mess that up and the mashed sweet potatoes saved their rating from 2 stars....they were great! My date had the peppered salmon but he was talking about himself so much that he left about half of the fillet on his plate, so not sure if it was good or not.

Around the corner from my hotel (the W.) Stopped in two subsequent nights. On solo travel, I sat at the bar. The place is dimly lit, and has several mounted TV's with different games. The bartenders are professional and formal. They remember your name and give a firm handshake. Prompt service. The first night I had Wasabi Tuna, rare, with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The food came out lukewarm and I wasn't impressed with the seafood preparation. This IS Atlanta, not really a coastal seafood town. I heard good things about the wings, so I stopped in for a quick bite the next night. I opted for an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger instead, with a baked potato. This time, they redeemed themselves. The burger was delicious, and seasoned pretty well. I wouldn't say this is a good date spot, but definitely a good solo spot or place to watch a game and grab some bar food.

They have a menu more geared towards people who eat red meat and other weird things I only eat chix, fish, turkey so it was limited options for me. The place is nice and always crowded huge tv's for games. I wouldn't go back unless I was just in the area.

Really bad service, it took 10 min just to get a menu and this was a week night. I was seated in bar area so may be different at a table. I called for a manager who changed my server and then they rushed my food out. The sandwich was so-so and the manager didn't comp me anything at all. Not sure I would ever come back but if I did I would sit at the bar, not a table, then I would order a different item. Watch out, some of the items on the drink menu have incorrect prices (my whiskey was $12 not $10 like the menu said). although 2nd server was a lot better, I felt like they were rushing me out the door.

Dantanna's never gets steak wrong. They are amazing. The brunch dishes like the Eggs Dantanna Style is SO tasty! Their burgers are also really good. Great customer service and atmosphere.

After my last disappointing review of Dantanna's, I promised the proprietor that I would visit his establishment again for another try. So after work I walked over and had a very nice steak. It was cooked to perfection, medium/rare and was the best steak I have had in a while. I sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. I would recommend this place highly.

This place is nothing, if not consistent. The concept of a higher end sports bar serving a varied menu really works here. The service is good and never "in your face" to rush you, at least that's been my experience. Their salads, soups and sandwiches are staples of, well, consistency. Their dinner specials rival any of the mid-range chains such as Fleming's. I'm surprised they haven't opened other locations.

The food is worth the bill. Everything was delicious and in good portions. The wait staff was extra friendly to our two year old and kept he occupied with crayons, food, and ice-cream. I will definitely bring my out of town guest here. Plus, they turned the game to my hubby's fav team game... Did I mention how good the food is?

Ok, two of my lady friends and I went for a pamper day, at the spa in Buckhead and wanted to go for lunch to someplace we had never tried before so in checking the area using YELP, I found Dantanna's and they had 4 stars. Although getting there on a Saturday being across the street from Lenox mall was a nightmare, literally sitting 15minutes at one light, we finally made it there. It is an upscale type sportsbar with TV's and a separate dining area if you're not into watching a game during your meal. Our server was Andrew who was very polite and seated us and was more than helpful with my fidgity friend who couldn't decide what she wanted :O. We ordered the appetizer crab dip and it was the best crab dip i've had anywhere! The Fried shrimp I ordered was acceptable (I was starving) but I didnt like the tempura style batter on them that just fell off as soon as you cut the shrimp but the taste was good and my garlic mashed potatoes were AWESOME and flavorful. My friends didnt complain about their food and said it was good. Service was pretty fast also but my order came out wrong however the waiter quickly took care of the situation and made it a non-issue! So this place gets 4 stars for good food and service! I will be back, thanks Andrew! We walked in past cigar smoke which was kind of choking but it was outside and i think this is a cigar bar outdoors so won't dock them for that.

Horrible service...the food was fabulous. Waited over 25 minutes for just our drinks. Service was slow the whole time. Finally ended up getting our bills and they all wrong. They double charged us several times. Also the gave us one bill that said one amount and was charged another amount. No matter how good the food was I would not come back due to the service.

When I first walked in here I was expecting a menu with very high steakhouse prices. Imagine my surprise when I saw a nice selection of items that were in the $10-$20 price range. I ordered a burger and fries. Both were excellent. The only drawback was the wait time between placing our order and getting our food; it seemed a little too long. The waiter was kind enough to break up our bill into six individual checks. I would certainly come back here again.

I came here with my family as my youngest wanted to eat some place she could look out the window and see the Great Tree on Macy's. From the outside, we were expecting a nicer place - this is definately a sports bar - but that's our fault. Sunday night was packed with loud football fans. Despite the noise, we enjoyed the place. Wine was 1/2 off (I guess they do that every Sunday). Crab cakes had ample crab meat and the burgers were suprisingly good. Only let down was a Reuben made with fried tilapia. I love turkey Rueben's, but the tilapia just did not work. The crispy batter is soon made soggy from dressing and kraut. Service was very ample and the menu had some very interesting choices (braised duck nachos!). I would come back.

I've been coming here recently because I've been watching the NBA Finals again. My first visit here was a while back and I only came to check out the cigar room in the back. As far as that goes, it's got comfy seats, good variety of cigars and a knowledgeable manager who can recommend something if you're not an aficionado. I like the design of the bar area but be warned, during game night it's always packed. Luckily there is ample seating in the dining area although you might not get the best view of the tv's. Beer-wise, they've got the usual selection so not much to rave about there. As for the food, I'm not terribly impressed except with their mango wings. I can take a lot of heat in my food and especially love hot wings...and their mango wings are so spicy I feel like I got kicked in the nuts. Their regular wings are just so-so. All in all, I like Dantanna's. Stick to the wings and you'll be alright.

Feeling more like a man-lounge, you should still venture here for awesome burgers. And if you need to watch a sports game, consider this a classier establishment in which to view.

The WORST customer service ever. Our waiter was rude, criticized what we ordered and told us we needed to order more veggies with our dinner. Took a long time to get our drink menus when we asked about the wine they offered. Has a floss pick fly on to our table hitting our drinks and he didn't even acknowledge the fact that it happened yet everyone else saw. Horrible. If you do go, sit at the bar and avoid Milford as your server at all cost!

Great place to meet for business lunch or dinner. Surf, Turf, Cigars, and Wine. TV's are all over, so be careful if you take a date. She might catch you looking over her shoulder for the score. Sit up front to watch people in the bar which is reasonably hip and happening. Ask for a table in the back for a little more quiet. Or you can always do a stogie and cocktail on the deck...if you're into that kind of thing. Food is good but a little pricey. Service is usually superb.

I'm never disappointed by this upscale sports bar. We found it on Yelp and I'm sooo glad. It's a little pricey considering it's a sports bar, but the decor is nice, service is even better and the food speaks for itself. We ordered from the Sweethearts menu (the day before Valentine's Day) and decided on the Suft and Turf. We had 2 6oz filet mignons, lobster tail, and two sides each. We started dinner with THE MOST AMAZING She Crab Soup. It looks like your basic clam chowder but was by far the highlight of dinner. I consider myself a clam chowder connoisseur and that was the most best bowl of clam soup I've ever had. And I live in BOSTON!! Overall everything is delicious. If I could change anything it would be the prices but if that's what I have to pay for great food I'll do it.

I walked into Dantanna's last night with high hopes considering all of the great reviews I've read and heard. The Decor is great... It's upscale sports bar meets raw bar, and steakhouse. We were there for a birthday gathering of 10. With the exception of the horrendous service everything was great. Braised Lamb shanks with Blue Cheese Mash, I was in heaven as I cleaned the entire plate to the last drop of demi glace. My issues lie with the server who took at least 15 minutes for us all to get our first round, completely botched the checks at the end, and just never seemed to be around. I understand parties of several can be pressuring, but we all work in the industry and were equal left disatisfied with the service. Everyones checks were wrong, and he had to go and fix it at least 4 times before we could all be on our way. Overall though I could see the great potential in the restaurant. The food, though a bit overpriced, was all fantastic and received great reviews from everyone at the table. The place is a good mix of class and with several large screen TV's for sports fan carefully placed it could easily transform into a sports bar. I enjoyed my experience, but I would hesitate to take a large group again to the dining room. Maybe next time I'll just sit at the bar or just take only a limited amount of people. ~~~~ After dinner we entered the Buckhead Cigar Bar that can be found along the back wall of Dantanna's. Equipped with a large humidor and several people offering suggestions as well as their knowledge the experience was one to remember. Leather coaches line a narrow room with TV's surrounding each wall. A server comes to take your drink order, and you can stay as long as you want and smoke. The room is actually pretty well circulated as far as air goes, so you're not walking into hazy room of smoke. My friends ordered scotch only to find out that the restaurant/bar was out of most of what the menu had to offer. No Mac 12, or 18 as well as no Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. The birthday girl spoke earlier in the day about how all she wanted was a good scotch and a cigar. It's a friday night at a nice restaurant/bar in the middle of buckhead and you can't provide some of the most commonly requested scotch? Fortunately for me... they had my Guinness so I just smoked and tuned myself out to everything going on around me. I loved the atmosphere provided and would welcome a return visit to the cigar bar.
