Sonoran Restaurant Week was our impetus to eat here for the first time. Food was very good and we will return. The service was good and our waitress pleasant despite being the only server for all the tables. Totally not her fault the service was a bit slow and I appreciate that she was professional and never lost her cool as I might have in her place. Did I mention she also had to bus all the tables? Not sure if the restaurant was unprepared for Restaurant Week crowds or if they are always understaffed. However we will visit again.

We were overall underwhelmed and a bit disappointed in our dinners at Dante's Fire on a recent Saturday night. The four of us all selected the Flat Iron Steak which was a substitution for the Pork Belly Entree on the Prix Fixe Sonoran Food Week menu. All the steaks had gristle which had all us removing pieces from our mouths as we couldn't chew and swallow it. (Gross!) Three of the steaks were to be cooked medium rare, but one that was thicker than the other two was definitely rare, no medium about it. We asked the server about the delicious looking green foam on the entree, but he could not tell us what it was, instead referring it as something fun! The four desserts were all the same - the strawberry shortcake - but the pieces were cut very unevenly resulting in some dessert pieces being noticeably larger or smaller than the others at the table. The wine and cocktails were tasty. We'll give Dante's Fire one more try, this time ordering off the regular menu.

Appetizer sliders were good. Chicken Marsala portion was large and flavorful. Dessert trip was great for sharing and coffee was robust. Our waitress was patient and friendly.

Food presentation was picture worthy. Ambiance was a little dark, noise level low due to minimal clients, and personally, I felt the food was way overpriced for the quality and quantity. Respectfully to future diners who plan to go here, be prepared to spend more than expected.

Went on a Monday. Food was delicious, as always! Happy hour selections tasty and generous portions. Server did best he could, but he was overwhelmed due to lack of sufficient personnel working that evening (every Monday?). First time we encountered this service problem, as past experiences were always delightful. Definitely will go back, but may choose to avoid Mondays!!
