Way Uptown is Dante’s Kitchen, a bright, sunny restaurant with an unusually high concentration of culinary talent. Chef-owner Eman Loubier earned his stripes, cooking for a decade at Commander’s Palace. Now at the helm of his own place, he cooks from the heart, blending New Orleans, Southern, and international flare into his dishes. Even the General Manager Neil McClure has culinary chops. When Dante's is closed for lunch, McClure sets up shop with his own brand of smoky barbecue. And Pastry Chef Kristyne Bouley was the woman in charge of the sweets at Donald Link’s empire, and in the kitchen of Dante’s, she nails creative desserts and a must-have composed cheese course.
