Dan Tana's West Hollywood Reviews
Dan Tanas is 10/10.
Maître D is the best of service is amazing. Bartender makes a killer espresso martini. You're not going here for the best food even though you'll finish your whole table you're going for the fun, don't come if you don't like
What an over priced, lack luster dining experience.
The chicken parm was tasteless obviously frozen chicken with can poured marinara and the cheapest over cooked pasta you can get from Sysco foods. Might have been the place to be in the 60's but should be closed down now. Dark and very small insi

I visited Dan Tana's last night, hoping to have a nice homemade Italian dinner. I ordered a full course, giving all the changes this restaurant to perform. It was a disaster. Every dish was a mass product; I'm certain that each dish had a c

Went to dinner there since it was next to the Troubadour for a show we were going to and was not impressed with the food. We ordered $30 shrimp cocktail, but the sauce tasted like ketchup and the shrimp was rubbery. The Caesar salad was probably one

While the walk-in wait felt a little long for a weeknight, the service caught up fast. The portions are big and the wait staff was friendly and quick. The vibe of the restaurant felt like an old school Italian spot in NYC.
Always happy to stop in and have one of the best in Beverly
Always happy to stop in and have one of the best in Beverly Hills/ LA top restaurant. The sauce is great and the service is out of this world.
Never again.
Overpriced as hell for mediocre food. I'm also not going to pay those prices for drinks I can get 1/3rd the price of over at the Drawing Room. Ordered a martini that tasted like rubbing alcohol, so filled to the brim the server spilled all along
Good food! Terrible service.
..it was my best friends birthday. Started strong...food was late---Wrong order...initial server disappeared. Got charged for "unknown items" and when I tried to communicate with the left over sever, he ignored me and walked away. Waited fo
Disappointing Tasteless Food
Terribly disappointed in the food. Lacked flavor (ordered Shrimp Scampi and Scallops) plain noodles and broth. Very surprising considering this is a historic restaurant.

Dan Tana's is an institution with quirky decor and service, and I would go at least once for that factor. We got a veal and chicken Parmesan, a green salad, a side of garlic cheesy bread, and a couple of glasses of Chianti. Both of the parmesa
Not worth going to unless you're chummy with the maitre d'.
You will then jump anyone's reservation and get a prime table. I saw this happen to many parties ahead of and those who came after us. We were seated outside which has its own vibe but I'm sure everyone's there to sit at a checkered ta
The little yellow house on Santa Monica Boulevard
For my first fine dining experience in Los Angeles, where else would I choose that Dan Tana's? For more than six decades, A-listers have flocked to this Los Angeles hotspot--and not just for the legendary chicken parmigiani. Dan Tana, a soccer p
This place is tiny but cute.
It reminds me of old Hollywood. The waiters were like built in comedians which made things fun. He had us laughing a bunch and engaging with the table across from us. I like the old Hollywood charm this place has. It can get crowded fast though

Before arriving I watched the 50th anniversary video on You Tube and I was immediately taken in by the spirit of this place. Hollywood luminaries, regular folks, kids, now adults, sharing memories of memorable meals. So we walked in, the place was
In LA for a family thing.
We made reservations here because it hit all the notes on history and old times. Even with reservations we had a 10 minute wait or so and had to sit on the patio loosing a little of that ambience we were after. Now here's the thing...the food w

Sadly it was overcrowded, overpriced and the food was unforgivable. There comes a time when a deep and sincere reinvention is needed and reputation tarnishes beyond repair. Regulars may still be loyal and that is honorable, but that location deserves

I had a reservation for 8:45 PM tonight, but unfortunately, we never got to try the food. Upon arrival, the host was absent from the front desk, talking in the back of the restaurant for at least five minutes. Other employees saw us waiting but did n
We came for our anniversary.
We've tried to get in here for awhile, but we like to sit and the bar, and this spot is so full of regulars, that's almost impossible. The place opens at 5:00 and when you walk in at that time, the bar is already full. We finally made a r
This is small, family type place right on Santa Monica Blvd.
Food is great as are the drinks. They don't use a computer system for booking reservations so you have to call ahead. Service is spot on with seasoned waiters. Celebrities with their families do go here.
TERRIBLE OVERPRICED, BURNT FOOD, IN A NOISY CRAMPED SETTING.
Regrettably, the food at Dan Tana's it’s not only overpriced, but seriously bad. The melon and prosciutto was not ripe and hard as a rock. Left uneaten, The Caesar salad was watery and tasteless. Left uneaten, The veal cutlet Milanese was

Last night my girlfriend and I went to Dan Tana's, and for those in a rush, I'll save you the time and simply summarize my experience by saying it was not good. I know that this place is a neighborhood staple and has been open for decades

Outstanding in every way! Food so good you'll think you're in Italy. Old-school professional service. And a crowded busy New York style atmosphere.
Horrible
Horrible experience. What a waste of a birthday dinner. The food just okay it's not Italian it's American/ Italian crap. Spaghetti with a spoonful of tomato sauce on top. If you enjoy being in a room surrounded by a lot of very old, loud w
A decent, if over-priced, experience.
Let's talk about Dan Tana's. This is an LA 'institution' that has been around forever. It is small and intimate and, at least when I went, very crowded. I had a 7pm reservation for 1 on a Friday night. Arriving early, I was seate
I can now cross it off my list
This is one of our foodie friend's favorite restaurants. This was my first visit. Our friend ordered for the table so that we could all enjoy a little bit of everything, family style. Overall, all the dishes we ordered were good to very good. No
Now, thatsa Italian!
This was the second time we've eaten here and it was great! We brought my daughter who really loves Italian and she was quite happy with the Manicotti. I had the Veal and the wife had the Lasagna. All were excellent and seriously tasty. I recom
Beware of the Outdoors
The food was OK, and the service was good, but you don’t go to Dan Tana’s just for the food and service. You go for the atmosphere. Eating in Dan Tana’s can be great fun: boisterous, warm, retro old Hollywood. That’s what we expected when we
Graduation dinner that we ate at Fabs.
This was my son’s graduation from college dinner so the four of us were celebrating. We checked in and they took us to a table outside (used to be the parking lot). I said we would like to be seated inside. And she said ok pls wait here. We waited
Just a total loss and weird experience!
My husband and I were on holiday from Canada for the Eric Clapton Hollywood Bowl Concert and had heard that Dan Tana's was a unique' Old Hollywood' restaurant that we should check out. I booked a reservation on the phone two weeks pr
Simply the best
Dan Tana’s still is the reigning best night out in Los Angeles. The food is amazing albeit I always order the same thing, Caesar Salad, Fried Mozz, Chicken Parm and Cappuccino Ice Cream. We laughed, we ate and we will come back again.
Awful
We wanted to go here because we had a romantic dinner at this restaurant many, many years ago. It was our first time returning since that night. Sadly, the restaurant has changed. And not for the better. While the decor looks unchanged in 40 years,
Beware! Not as great as you might think!
I ordered the shrimp scampi. Unfortunately, the dish lacked any flavor and is prepared like a soup with noodles. Where’s the butter flavor? None! The menu does not explain how this dish is prepared. Our initial greeter at our table who took our ord

Iconic! Legendary! Hollywood! First- Reservations a MUST if you go during prime time. Okay, you might get lucky and if the host likes you, you may (or may not) get a seat at the bar and have your meal there. Second- Don't be late! there is a 15 min

This was my second time in West Hollywood, and I took the opportunity to check out Dan Tana’s with my family. I love venues enriched in Hollywood history, and this one had plenty of hype. The waitstaff were great, and I really liked the old-school

Best food ever! You can savor the flavors and enjoy each bite. The salad is to die for, as well as the garlic cheese bread. It's hard to be hungry for the main course, but you can't go without it. Loved the chicken Parmesan and family atmosphere.

Embarrassment to Italian cuisine and culture
If your idea of good Italian fare is Olive Garden; if you enjoy making a reservation weeks in advance only to wait an hour to be seated and another hour for your food to arrive; if you like rude, seemingly inebriated waiters; if you enjoy a menu that

Nasty bathroom, nasty carpeting awful service! Seating of people of color. Prejudice service, awful waiters and dirty outside carpet. Wouldn't recommend at all.
Unexpected poor meal
After waiting 30 minutes past our reservation time, we were seated outside, opposite a doorway to the bathroom, under 2 heat lamps and a bright light. Requested new table, waited another 15 minutes before being seated inside. Got shrimp scampi appeti

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dan Tana's West Hollywood at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dan Tana's West Hollywood page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Dan Tana's West Hollywood to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dan Tana's West Hollywood!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
