Dante West Village

Beyond its signature brunch, the draw here centers on Martini Hour and specific pours like the Rhubarb Spritz and a highly praised Bloody Mary. The kitchen focuses on lighter bites; standard-sized avocado toast is best paired with a scone if you have a larger appetite, while entrees like pasta and burgers get more mixed reviews. The space carries a warm, classic West Village energy, but it comes with a slow tempo. Guests should plan for potential lags in drink service, with cocktail orders occasionally taking around 25 minutes to arrive.
