The food is beyond exceptional & the service aligns with the same standards. I have never had a bad meal at Dante's. I love that they source everything locally. That sets this restaurant apart from most others. A nice touch was that the owner catered to us when my brother came home for a surprise visit. He 'hid' him at the bar while our family & friends were arriving. He had great conversation with my brother, just like family - he knew how important this evening was for us. The waitress we had was all part of the plan, as well. It's nice to feel like more than just a 'customer'. 10/10 highly recommend Dante's!

We came for Friday dinner, and waited about 15 minutes for a table. Our waitress was super friendly and it was fun to see a local spot so cozy and busy.

They had my husband's favorite beer on tap, Maine Lunch, something we don't get to see on tap often. I had the Strawberry Fields. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. My daughter ordered a lemonade and she was offered about 5 different options for flavors. We shared the chicken tenders. We chose to have them tossed in barbecue sauce with blue cheese on the side. Perfectly cooked, crispy, sauce was great. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We are not from this area but if we are back in the area, we will be back!

First, I have only been here once and it was on Thanksgiving. Our reservation was at 12:15. We got…read moreour meal at 12:45 (without the side salad - that came after our meals). My friends' son got a cheeseburger - without cheese. I think our server misunderstood when he said, "I would like a plain cheeseburger". He didn't want tomato, lettuce, or onion, but he wanted a cheeseburger. The kids menu didn't include the same veggie sides - the kids wanted corn but that wasn't allowed? I got the baked stuffed haddock, a baked potato, and squash. My friends all got the turkey dinner. You didn't get butter with your baked potato unless you asked for it. (Maybe this was a way to save money and supplies?) One friend ordered the baked potato with butter and sour cream. Perhaps they didn't have sour cream and just didn't want to tell us. I found it interesting there were no dinner rolls. We ordered dessert around 1:10 pm. We waited; and waited. Come to find out - our dessert slips had been lost. My friends' daughter ordered chocolate ice cream with whipped cream and she got chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. My bill was correct. My friends - not so much. This review is challenging because I always spend the holiday with my family but I just moved back to the area and was graciously invited to lunch with my dear friends. They were so busy and I know we are all grateful to have had this option of eating out on this holiday. I felt bad for all those people waiting to be seated because they were so behind schedule. We were seated at 12:10 and left at 14:00. Maybe this was a test run for the owners of the restaurant. Practice makes perfect! Thank you for your kindness and meal. The seafood stuffing was very good. I enjoyed the grape nut custard pie, as well. I wish you all a happy holiday season. The staff were kind - just overwhelmed. We had a great time, though. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing for us.

That's why I haven't been back for years until I recently went to a group event there. The meals I saw in the group still looked like something from the frozen foods section of the grocery store. But I had opted for a Reuben sandwich with an upgrade of onion rings. Surprise, surprise!!! The reuben was excellent! Plenty of fresh tasting corned beef and overall very tasty. The onion ring upgrade from fries was $1 and the rings were likewise excellent. The reuben alone was $19. I can recommend the reuben at Strafford Farms, but nothing else. There are far better options available in the area.

The place has ample table seating, booths, and seating at the full service bar. There is also patio sidewalk seating in front of the restaurant. The place still resembles its predecessor with the same colors paint scheme. The bar offers a few draft beers, wine, mixed drinks, and cocktails. The TVs (not on) are still over the bar and there is a digital jukebox too. The limited dinner menu in July 2025 offers alfredo pasta primavera, roast chicken, baby back ribs, blackened salmon and prime rib and desserts (cheesecake & chocolate cake). While the weekend breakfast buffet is active, the late night breakfast buffet was on pause until the UNH school year resumes. The pricing is moderate. I stopped by the Blue Flame for dinner recently. The place was not busy on a Wednesday evening during the summer. I was seated at a table near the front window and requested an ice water. For dinner, I ordered the Blackened Salmon ($24.99 plus tax) served with garlic/basil mashed potatoes, green bean almondine, hot rolls, and a side salad. The side garden salad came out first with dressing on the side, served in a small bowl with a mixed leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots. The Blackened Salmon entree and hot dinner rolls came out next. The blackened salmon filet was a good size, served hot, tender & texture flaky, slightly spicy. The garlic/basil mashed potatoes were hot, soft and chunky. The fresh green beans with almond slivers and butter were a bit lukewarm though. The 2 dinner rolls were soft and chewy. After I finished and cleaned my plate, I was presented with the check which was $27.11 (cash)/$28.06 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, a good filling dinner on a slow evening. I will have to come back for the late night breakfast buffet and hopefully their dinner menu would have more choices.
