My Two Cents

Recession Dining

It's always easier to do the wrong thing, it seems. In the midst of a devasting recession which has hurt our industry and many others, it sure is tempting when a new supplier wants to pass along a cheaper alternative of some kind. It's a troubling but common practice in which we dont partake.
Not so prime beef; frozen fish; on the turn vegetables and so on. Keeping a standard when many are losing theirs is a tough road to follow. But we, and many others like us, keep at it. We still produce the best we can offer with little variation ( save climate and supply conditions ) and many of our customers know and appreciate that fact.
So next time you're dining somewhere and the shrimp tastes a bit "iodiny" or the beef isn't so tender, remember what I wrote here.
Someone once told me producing the highest quality product, ultimately, is the cheapest in the long run. When you factor in the gain of customers; respect of your peers; and the sheer pride derived from being the best that you can be!

Happenings at Casa Dante


  • Casa Dante's Wine list has received a Wine Spectator Award for 2012 and as a thank you to our loyal patrons, all wines on our list will be sold at half price on all Tuesdays in August with your dinner. Thanks again!
  • Make sure you take advantage of our Recession specials, next segment below...we know that driving here plus tolls is quite an expense these days....see below so we can help you have a great meal at Casa Dante!
  • Much more fresh fish and healthier choices on our menus. As you may know, our fish is always fresh, never frozen. We have many vegetarian choices and, of course, our meats are the best cuts available. " The veal is like butter" she exclaimed!
  • Our first wine dinner of the season will be in October. For those of you interested please check our website,  or see us on  FACEBOOK
  • We are taking Mondays off during July and August instead of our usual Sunday closing. Most of our friends who go down the shore on weekends come back early enough to want dinner on Sunday. We're here for you!


Great Recession Specials
I've reintroduced this section because even though were easing out of this "great recession" there are still many out there who struggle paying high gas prices and increased tolls and the like. As such, see the following "deals" for those of you who have read this far down:

  • 10% discount on parties of 4 or more Monday thru Thursdays....but you need to print and present this to your server...thanks for reading
  • Make a reservation on Open Table ( links above ) and get discounts, points and notices

For those of you who "friend" us on  Casa Dante Facebook, you know that I take photos of food and goodies at my table and post them. We use our "like"FACEBOOKto notify events, parties, holidays and the like. But our "friend" page is reserved for my own messages to you...usually involves food.....my friends love these...some of you who have moved to far away places ( Florida, North Carolina, California etc ) really seem to appreciate them.
If you're on Facebook, check us out. We'd love to see you there!
