Profile

The sleek lounges at chef Dante de Magistris's namesake venture fill early with beautiful people sipping creative (and thankfully not overly sweet) cocktails and nibbling on alluring, if slightly pricey, “tastes” such as the mini clambake, which comes with an andouille sausage corn dog, and melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi, similar to the gnocchi that made de Magistris a draw when he cooked at Blu. The small plates are also available for sharing in the restaurant, with its outdoor patio and panoramic skyline views. But save room for entrées, which for once are as good as the starters—try the succulent guinea hen—and desserts such as the heavenly and very grownup ginger float. Note: The restaurant is closed weekdays 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.-5:30 p.m. On weekends, it's closed 11 a.m.-noon and 3-5:30 p.m.

A couple of friends and I had dinner at Dante restaurant in the Sonesta Hotel and the food was spectacular! The chef came out to ask us how the food was and even gave us a great pairing wine with our food. I cannot thank him enough for making this a wonderful dinner to share with great friends!
