| Dear Friends: The press often refers to Casa Dante as "old school". This designation upset me in the past, but I have a new philosophy about it. Most of the large chains try to recreate a feel and atmosphere which we have as a matter of course. Oak and Mahogany panels, old world charm, professional staff & Maitr'd. They get it right sometimes, but you can't beat the real thing. You can't beat 40 years of getting it right, and great food!. We had a fun-filled evening with Julian & Dominique last Saturday night. If you haven't experienced Casa Dante with entertainment, start with them & our food, of course. J & D are warming up for the New Years Eve Bash in which they're the featured entertainment. We are accepting reservations in the main dining room and front dining room for the evening. Book now as time is getting short! Thanks for reading and see you soon!

Did you know? |
Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink.
To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously.
When a guest trusted his host, he would then just touch or clink the host's glass with his own

quote of the week "it isnt food if it's served through a car window" Michael Pollan Not sure if I agree with this entirely. Have had some great local food served in unusual styles in our travels. But I get what he means.
