We went to Dante (at the Sonesta in Cambridge) during restaurant week. When they posted their restaurant week menu, I was excited because most choices were from their regular menu. The atmosphere is great and the service is wonderful. We had a fantastic waiter that knew the menu and preparations well. I started with what seemed like the healthiest first course, cauliflower soup with smoked scallop. This was a butter and cream dream. This was not "healthy", but it was delicious. Rolfe started with something (I forget what it was) that was essentially pulled duck. We loved it. Cheryl got the antipasto - which was also great. They pay attention to the littlest details.
For the main courses (restaurant week features 3 courses for 33.08) Rolfe got the hanger steak, I got the 'chicken under a brick' and Cheryl got salmon. All of us were happy with the portion, flavor and accompanying stuff. We split a 'side' of roasted summer squash and leeks. We all opted for the same dessert course (boo hoo - no sharing) of panna cotta with hazelnut chocolate. I have to learn how to make this. Anyway... I want to go back soon. They make interesting cocktails and the wine list is good too.

BTW - I finally found out what 'hanger' steak is and why it is now showing up on everyone's menu.
