The chicken alfredo was great, I loved the bread on the side aswell. The service was top tier and lovely. However I do have a complaint about the water and soda that I was served. The Coca-Cola was very flat and unappetizing the water was also not good it tasted metallic and had a strong unpleasant aftertaste. read more

Cafe Dantorels - Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine - Cafes Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came for brunch on Saturday and had a pleasant time with the family. We had a large group and were able to all sit together on the patio. Service was great, and the restaurant is setup well. The price of the drinks was a bit high, but the orange juice was fresh, and latte was good also. We had the chicken pesto crepe, crispy chicken club, kids chicken strips, kids cheeseburger, and our other family members also got soup, steak and eggs, Nutella crepe, salad, and drinks. We loved most of the food. The chicken crepe was a bit dry, added some pesto and it was a bit better. The chicken strips tasted exactly like 1990s McDonalds chicken nuggets - but twice the size. The crispy chicken had the same nuggets as the kids meal in a sandwich with bacon and it was good. Steak and salad were also good. Nutella crepe was very tasty as well. Recommend. read more

Stale bread me once? Annoying, but fine. Stale bread me twice, after a $60-plus tab? Now I'm officially cranky. The missus and I popped over to Dantorell's today for soups, salad, and a couple cold ones. She ordered the squash soup, I went for the chicken gumbo, and we split a Fuji salad. I was hungry, like "I could eat the table" hungry, so I ordered a baguette and an extra. First bite? Stale. I politely asked for a fresh one (or focaccia if they were out), assuming "fresh" was a universal bread-truth. ...It was not. Round two: stale again. At that point, I felt like I was in a carb-based prank show. And the chicken in the gumbo? Think "cotton ball that went to the desert." Sad times. For context, we decided to give the place another shot today after a hit-and-miss history, hoping this visit would remind us why we liked it in the first place. Instead, it just... landed flat. Like, stale-bread-flat. To be fair: service is always great and the place is clean. We've had solid meals here before, but also some misses--and today landed firmly in the "letdown" column. Here's hoping next time the bread is fresh and the chicken isn't auditioning to be drywall. read more

A Curtis Park institution, Cafe Dantorels has been serving a "wide-ranging menu of American-style cuisine" since they first opened in July of 2012. Their welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible food are what they are known for. I love meeting my family here for brunch! As you enter, you self order at the front register and are given a number, you seat yourself and they deliver your food fresh to your table. This occasion I ordered the banana bread French toast. With mascarpone cheese, banana, chopped bacon and topped with strawberry sauce and roasted honey almonds. I also ordered 2 sides of bacon and a small freshly squeezed OJ. This combo was perfect and large portions, I ended up taking half home. The freshness of produce and the quality ingredients keep the crowds coming back again and again. I love this neighborhood restaurant and you should too. read more

First off, I love Cafe Dantorels. The ambience here is so cute, relaxed, and the outside patio is nice with a fire pit table. Parking is easier here because it is in a neighborhood. They have specials, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are a verified venue for Untappd app. Their lattes are always good and they have seasonal drinks. They have cocktails and beer for those that want to enjoy them with their food. Service is always pretty quick, even when they are busy. Seating is first come first serve after you order which can be a bit difficult during busy hours but I haven't really had any issues when I have come here. Food is delicious and they have something for everyone. read more

The restaurant itself so cuteeee. Was able to get a table outside and was perfect to enjoy the warm day. The steak sandwich was delicious and the avocado toast wasn't toooo bad. The strawberry splash cocktail was almost there and the toast just needed a little more salt. Definitely give it a try when in the area. read more

The food and service was amazing! The California crepe was delicious, and the waitresses were so sweet and friendly!

We wanted to try a new place and found this cute restaurant that also offers outdoor seating. We had their brunch and would not recommend the banana bread French toast because it's a slice of banana bread which is very heavy and very sweet and tart! I saw banana and french toast and I was wrong. The potatoes were my favorite for the Benedict. I think it's overpriced. You line up to order, pay, take a number and they bring out your food. Would like to come back to check out their lunch menu if we happen to be in the area. read more

Stopped by for breakfast at Cafe Dantorels on a Sunday morning around 9am, wasn't very busy but as soon as I ordered and sat down the line became long..so come before 9am if you don't want to wait in line. The food doesn't do much wrong but also doesn't leave a lasting impression. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming enough, with plenty of seating. I ordered a regular egg breakfast which included 2eggs+potato and toast...but does not include Bacon? It's disappointing that a breakfast order doesn't include the bacon...I had to order a side of bacon, which I never have had to do in any other breakfast restaurant. The menu has a decent variety, with all the standard brunch staples--pancakes, omelets--but nothing really stands out. The sourdough toast was okay, though a bit hard. My friend had an omelette which he seemed to enjoy, giving the place 3 stars because I really think a breakfast meal should include the bacon. read more

Nice offering, good atmosphere... parking can be a bit hard but definitely worth a visit

Food: 5/5 Drinks: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Seating: 5/5 Parking: 2/5 I came on a Monday around 5:30pm in October. It was not busy with only a few other patrons. There is a very small, private parking lot in the back that could fit 6-7 cars at most. Otherwise, you'll have to do street parking which most around is 90 minutes only from Mon-Sat, 8am-6pm. I found some street close street parking that was 2 hours from 8am-6pm. The first impression as you walk up is it's very pretty as it's decorated with lots of plants. There is so much shaded outdoor seating along the sidewalk and a large outdoor patio. The weather was still hot so there were water misters to keep it cool on the sidewalk seating. For the patio, there are ceiling fans. There is so much seating indoors from booths to cushioned chairs, all very comfortable. The music is moderately loud. It's cool and conditioned inside I even put on a jacket. The ambiance was nice and casual to bring friends, families, or dogs and hang out or even study for a long while. Note that none of the seating seemed to have outlets. As you enter, there's a menu at the door and when you're ready to order, you pay at the counter. Then, you grab a number and can sit anywhere in the restaurant. The service was very nice, conversational, and provided my food in a timely manner. There is a self-serve water station. Besides providing your drinks/food and picking up your dirty dishes at the end of the meal, no one really checks in as it seems more of a self-service style. The tables are kept clean. I sat by one of the many tables next to the windows and there were some flies on the windows but they didn't bother my food. I don't blame the establishment, it's hard to control for bugs when there's a lot of plants and there are multiple large doors constantly being opened. For drinks I ordered an iced Matcha Latte with soy milk. Per the sign at the counter it looks like partnered with Temple Coffee to make the drinks. Personally, it does not taste made with authentic matcha powder as it is very sweet but I still loved it. For food I ordered the Brie & Candied Bacon Burger (comes with regular fries) that was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. It was delicious and you can choose how cooked the patty you want. I also ordered the Curtis Park Fries which were not too spicy and deliciously saucy. I think the food was delicious and will definitely return to try other items such as the crepes. Overall, a great casual place to spend some comfortable time at. A bonus is they are open very late (until 10pm). read more

Very cute restaurants in Sacramento. We arrived and it was pretty packed. It took almost half an hour to order. You have to order up front and they give you a number. Lots of food and drinks to choose from. Overall a great place for lunch. Highly recommend the Bacon candied burger. read more

Much improved. They have switched to table service (used to be menu board, order at the counter). Stopped by on a whim and had a burger which was quite good. In fact we've been back twice. The outdoor seating and patio are lovely. Putting this place back on out restaurant rotation after a long hiatus. read more

I had reviewed the menu on line and knew I wanted the salmon sandwich. I couldn't access the direct site because my phone said it wasn't secure. ‍When I got there, the cashier told me it wasn't on the menu anymore and said they wouldn't make it on request. Some websites still show it on there and it's not like they didn't have the ingredients. She wasn't very friendly and just had this I don't care look on her face. No apologies or empathy. I ended up ordering the portobello burger and it was very tasty. I've worked in restaurants and public service all my life and some employees need training or find another job. read more

Their seasonal steak and veggie plate is really good. Dairy free. Rice was light and fluffy. Veggies were grilled perfectly. The seasoning was spot on. Came with a nice Caesar salad. read more

The food is amazing and you'll always get great service here, first time I've tried a coffee from here and it was great as you can see in the picture I had already taken a drink And licked off part of the whipped cream lol .

Cafe Dantorels is a great go-to lunch spot, but be prepared for the crowd--it's always packed during lunchtime. I've been here in two separate occasions and by 1130am it was already packed! You pay for your food first, and then they bring it out to your table, which adds to the quick and casual vibe. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, with a self-serve setup for water and utensils. The back patio is my favorite, offering a cozy area with a relaxing water fountain feature. I've been here a few times, and it's consistently a great spot. The choice of music however is interesting. I wasn't offended however, the choice of music most likely is not appropriate for young children. The food is solid, and the variety keeps me coming back. This time I got the burger and fries and can never finish it. Parking can be a bit tricky, with only street parking available, so plan ahead! Check them out! read more

Went here on Friday July 3rd for lunch with my coworker, got the crispy chicken burger. The fries were meh, the chicken was meh, the bun was soggy AF. Not going back. Pretty bland, nothing special. read more

I'm actually a little surprised that this place isn't rated higher than it is. We showed up on a Sunday at around noon, and there was a LINE to order food at the front. The seating outside was full, but indoors had plenty of seating. I wasn't a fan of the wait honestly, so if there was more than one person working the front, that would have been great. The food portion was great though! The potatoes tasted a little more bland than I wanted and the eggs were overcooked (rather than runny sunny side up), but I still enjoyed the meal. I ordered a Salmon Benedict and my partner ordered a burger. I think it's a great option for Sunday brunch especially when there are lines everywhere else! read more

Cafe Dantorels is a solid 4 out of 5 for me and easily one of my go to brunch spots in Sacramento. It is in Curtis Park, and the whole vibe fits the neighborhood perfectly. Chill, welcoming, a little upscale but still very comfortable. It has that local, community feel that makes you want to come back. I have been coming here for about a year now, and it has been consistently good, especially compared to places like Crepeville. The quality is just a step up across the board. For me, the La La Land crepe is the move. I pretty much get it every time. It is flavorful, well balanced, and just hits. They do a great job with their crepes in general, and you can tell there is more care put into the food. The coffee drinks are also excellent. Whether you are getting a latte or something more specialty, they know what they are doing. It pairs really well with the whole brunch experience. Another big plus is that they carry pastries and cake slices from Freeport Bakery, which is a huge win. Those desserts are legit, and it is nice being able to grab them in the same spot. Menu-wise, there is a good variety. Crepes, breakfast options, coffee, pastries, a little bit of everything. It is the kind of place where you can come back multiple times and not get bored. The only reason it is not a full 5 is that while it is consistently good, it is not necessarily mind blowing. But it does not need to be. It is reliable, well executed, and a great overall experience. If you are in Sacramento and want a quality brunch spot with a chill vibe, Cafe Dantorels is definitely worth checking out. read more

This is not a bad brunch spot, breakfast spot or lunch spot in the Sacramento area. Every time I've been here, I have enjoyed myself, the selection of food and drinks along with the environment. All of the people who work here seem to be very nice and have good customer service. There's street parking so you shouldn't have any issues there. This is also a good spot to walk her bike too if you are in the surrounding area. I do recommend that you check this place out for a good meal and good drinks read more

Such a cute spot with a really aesthetically pleasing ambiance, definitely perfect for pictures and a fun brunch date with my girls. The service was okay, it felt more like a self-service style since I had to get up and ask for things myself, but the staff was still very nice and friendly overall. Now the food, the Lemon & Saffron Salmon was so good. I would absolutely come back just to have it again. I also tried the pumpkin spice latte, it didn't really taste like pumpkin, more just cinnamon, but it was still okay. Overall, a really pretty café with great food and a cozy vibe. I'd definitely return, especially for that salmon! read more

We stopped at this place thinking it was just a little café with some light bites and pastries, but it turned out to be a whole restaurant. We were just going to have coffee here while we looked for somewhere to eat so it worked out that it was a sit down restaurant. The inside huge and the outside has some really nice shaded seating. The menu is really big and for being a little café, they have some weird menu items like pasta and steak. Which kind of threw me off a little bit but anyway they looked good but we did not get any of that. I had the tuna melt somebody else had the burger and the other two had the chicken salads. Everything was actually really tasty. Came out quick, fresh and warm. The fries were really crunchy and well salted the onion rings were fresh onion rings. You can tell they were hand cut, theythey were so good and crunchy. The tuna melt was just a little too toasted for my taste. It ripped the inside of my mouth up and was actually difficult to eat so I only had half of it, but everybody else loved their meals. The chicken was very, very tasty and well seasoned. The salad wasn't overly dressed and the arugula is fresh. The burger was perfectly cooked for what the person ordered and all of the toppings were also fresh. The only thing that they complained about was that it wasn't spicy and it said that it was gonna be spicy but other than that, everybody loved what we had. Will definitely go back. We did not have any coffees or pastries, but they all looked really good read more

The restaurant was interesting -- looks more like a cafe, but they serve full on dinner inside! We went for my friend's birthday dinner and we felt overdressed there. It's extremely casual. Although we did see a baby shower being hosted in their outdoor patio area. I had their fettuccine with shrimp. I ate it all. The shrimp (prawns) were small, but I thought it was still tasty! I would order it again. I had a lemon drop and that was delicious! read more

This place is a beautiful cafe to go to with friends for brunch. the portion is sufficient for the price, the food is pretty decent and the service is on point there! Any drink you get here chai, coffee, down to the water is bomb! To be fair they infuse their water with cucumber and other herbs. I had the Brie candied bacon burger and the Curtis park eggs Benedict's. The fries for the burger meal were yum, and the burger was delicious but a little dry and needed more sauce. The eggs Benedict' was good but could do without the tomatoes. It made it a little soggy . All in all great experience ! read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. Ordered and paid at the counter, including a tip. After our food arrived we never had a server stop to ask if we needed anything or even a thank you or good bye when we got up to leave. We were the only ones there! All of the servers were visiting each other. Almost 70 dollars for breakfast for two and lousy service. No thank you. read more

$58 for two crepes, a fancy coffee and a soda? Yikes!! Based on that alone I am not sure if I will return for a while. Atmosphere is nice, friendly staff but crepe really just had way too much cheddar cheese in it. Kinda overwhelmed the rest of the flavors, making it taste less Mediterranean than I would have liked. Banana bread latte was very nice and being able to sit outside and enjoy a nice Spring afternoon saved the day. read more

Nice place and overall tasty food but service is terrible. Group of 9 of us came for brunch on a Sunday, waited maybe 30min for 7 of our meals.... And waited another 30min for the missing chicken tenders and a burger (all while other tables around us continued to be served after arriving after us.) went in 3 separate times to ask 3 separate staff about our missing meals and only got "they're still working on it" in reply. No apologies, no visit from manager, no discount or comp'd anything for the hassle. Avoid. read more

Dinner for 5 of us after a live theater show at the near by Sierra 2 arts & community center. Food is decent. Portion sizes are huge. Prices are reasonable. What any one will expect for a wait on-line to order from the cashier, get a number and sit at a table for the food to arrive. Food was placed before us soon after siting down. Dining room is industrial / funky vibe. No romance here, just utilitarian. Employees are young and cheerful. American style menu that is heavy on the salads with a protein on top. Cake slices are humongous, moist and flavorful. Wine / beer / soft drinks selection is plain jane variety with a glass that will satisfy just about everyone. If you are hungry in Curtis Park and have a big appetite you will enjoy Dentorels. read more
