My husband and I went to Dana’s last night for our anniversary dinner and had the most amazing time. First off we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and I was really digging their music selection. Our waitress Alana was so phenomenal and was so helpful when I was asking for suggestions on drinks and food. I ended up getting the cocktail which she suggested called the Big Wheel and it was so yummy!! As for the food we were blown away. Our favorite was definitely the baked feta but every bite of food we had here was delicious!! We will definitely be back and thank you for a wonderful night!!

Excellent service and high quality delish food and drinks. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back. We wanted to order 2 more baked French Feta to take back to Wisconsin...that's how good it was! The Grasshopper dessert was a sharable size, perfect to share with my husband after dinner

Wonderful bar service and great fries. I came in Sunday night and despite them being busy the fries were both crisp & fluffy as well as perfectly seasoned. Everyone behind the bar was very attentive and and friendly, Bri especially was a standout and provided a stellar experience for me and my party. She was incredibly personable, friendly, and attentive. Not once did my water glass end up empty and I received my food very promptly. Absolutely stellar service from her in particular but as well as from all the rest of the staff. 10/10 & id happily come here again.

We have been so thankful to find this venue open and remade. It is such a great atmosphere. So we decided to go back and hold a business meeting. And how need it is to be served by the same beautiful service from Chanel. Check out some of these pictures and videos from our time. We even tried their giant shareable drink that I highly recommend. It had such beautiful hidden treasures in each sip. And when you find a new spirit that you may not find elsewhere, in the room next door they have a way to shop. Reservations were easy to make and accommodate. There's specials are out of this world including the photographed Scottish eggs. I look forward to my next time back to see what we can create! Thank you so much for rejuvenating this treasure.

My wife and I went here for date night a few weeks back. I got the steak and potatoes. It was very good. Steak was cooked how I like it and the hash brown complimented the steak very well. My wife got the lobster ravioli and it was fabulous! I had a few bites for myself and I almost regretted not getting it. I hope it ends back on the menu soon, and when it does we will be back for more! Regardless we will be back to try their other offerings. Food was great and so was the service.

Myself and 2 friends/co-workers came in for dinner. We had a lovely evening. The "Welcome Cocktail" was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. We ordered the Escargot for an appetizer. For dinner, we split the Côte de Boeuf and ordered every side on the menu. Everything was fantastic! The steak took centerstage, but the caramelized fennel, broccoli, macaroni, and mashed potatoes (so creamy) were all delicious and cooked to perfection! I really appreciate that this establishment is 21+! I can't wait to bring my husband back for a date night.

I had the pleasure of dining at Dana’s with a few friends last night, and it was an unforgettable experience. Each dish was a symphony of flavors that left us momentarily speechless with every bite. We opted to share a variety of dishes, and each one was a delightful surprise. The cooked feta and the chicken, in particular, were phenomenal—simply exquisite! Though I am not one to indulge in cocktails, my friends couldn't stop raving about the unique concoctions on offer. They mentioned how perfectly the drinks complemented the flavors of the food, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal. Dana’s is a culinary gem that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

We have been waiting a few months to come and heard mixed reviews. I am not one to find the bad in a situation, so we went in with open minds. We knew it would be smaller inside but the "booth" was half a table and the 4 of us had to crowd around it. They definitely dont give large plates so we never felt to squished, but if you don't prefer close seating, dont sit there! My old fashioned was very good. The menu can be a little confusing on what is an app and what is an entree. The baked feta app was really good and I highly recommend if you like salty food. My burger was good and the pasta was very dense with a variety of seasonings, including mint which is an interesting twist..We will probably wait to see what they do with their menu..feels reminiscent of The Golden.
