Dantanna's

Dantanna's Restaurant Review:

Shunning the sports bar label, Dantanna's describes itself as an "upscale sports restaurant," offering several areas where diners can watch the game---at the bar, outdoor patio or in the cigar lounge, which features leather sofas and a walk-in humidor. The fare is surf ‘n’ turf with a twist. Definitely go surf with the appetizers, such as the crisp calamari which offers a nice blend of rings and tentacles. A sampler of seafood brings out a delectable West Coast oyster, a top-neck clam, cracked crab legs to be dipped in a butter sauce, and cold shrimp. When it comes to beef, we found the steak, although announced as dry-aged beef, and its accompanying demi-glace sauce lacking in character, but not so the Zinfandel-braised short ribs bathed in a blackberry-barbecue sauce and served with blue cheese mashed potatoes. Not ready for prime time beef? Check out the superior salmon, just one of several fish selections. Sauces are structured for either fish or meat, so you can select what suits. The wine list includes many interesting choices, with plenty offered by the glass.
