My son, who is not from the area, made a reservation here for his prom date, and there was absolutely no disclosure that you had to be 21+ to enter. While it might be mentioned somewhere on their official page, it was not listed on the direct reservation website he used. This completely ruined what was supposed to be a special night for him. Very disappointing and completely avoidable with better communication.

First time visiting Fort Wayne and was told to come here for an after flight dinner and drink and glad I did. Food was extremely good and the service and drinks were top notch. I will be visiting here again as I visit FW in the future.

There are a few 1-2 star reviews mentioning high food prices and too much ice in drinks. I don't care, I love this place. I'm no high roller so I don't usually get a meal here, but it's a cocktail bar anyways and their drinks are genuinely top tier. Bartenders take their time (in a good way) crafting beverages and their signature list is really cool. I'll eventually have purchased every drink on the menu, but not there yet. Trio-dip fries are really tasty as an appetizer.

A Cozy Evening at Dana's: Where Classic Meets Creative
I recently visited Dana's with a chef friend on a Tuesday evening, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The restaurant has a dimly lit, cozy atmosphere, but it also carries an upbeat energy that makes it feel vibrant and welcoming. Despite being comfortably busy, we received just the right amount of attention from the attentive staff.
We opted to sit at the elegant marble bar counter, which turned out to be a perfect spot to sample an array of small plates. The Salted Brioche was warm and pillowy, an ideal start to the meal. The Steak Tartare was perfectly seasoned and melted in the mouth, while the 'Nduja-Stuffed Olives offered a savory, spicy punch that balanced the richness of the other dishes. The Caramelized Fennel was a surprising standout, offering a sweet, delicate flavor that rounded out the meal beautifully.
The cocktail menu featured inventive riffs on classic drinks, each one artfully crafted and full of flavor. Dana's offers a perfect blend of creativity and comfort, making it a great spot for an evening out.

Between the 6 of us we sampled quite a few things on the menu and everything was delicious. Jackson and Sandra provided excellent service. The cocktail menu is worth exploring also!

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!!

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!
Really a great place to celebrate. Great food! Great lighting.We had the Duck and the chicken dishes. It was a family style dinning so we were able to easily share. We definitely will be going back!

I recently visited Dana’s and was disappointed by their inability to accommodate my citrus allergy. The bartenders told me that due to cross-contamination risks, my only options were a beer or vodka soda. While I appreciate the concern, other bars in Fort Wayne have managed to provide a safe space for me to enjoy a wider selection of drinks.

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.
