Damenti's Restaurant

Visited your restaurant today. We have been meaning to try it for a few years. Honestly, we were very disappointed. 6-7 items on the menu were not available at 6pm? Waitress was very nice and understanding but I don’t thing we will be back. The food we were able to choose was very good, however we had to change our decision as so much was not available. As locals, it felt like a very expensive place but at $15 for one peach martini, a little to rich for my taste. The main point is the lack of availability just didn’t measure up

First time at damenti’s very disapointed with the food Very pricey for what we had 40$ for linguine with clams won’t be back

Dinner reservations at damenti's last night. Waited for one half hour for drinks and they came out one at a time.
Appetizers over a hour came out and sat one a table across from our for 20 minutes before being served. Needless to they were not very warm.
Waited for another hour for the main course to come out but never did, because after the couple, who were seat 50 minutes after our got ther main course it time for us to leave.
Damenti's is now off our list for bad service and customer respect for which there wasn't any.
Reservations were for 6pm and walkout at 8pm. No main course in sight.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. The “ice bar” is $10 for admission to see some lame ice sculptures They are severely understaffed and we waited an hour for very simple drinks. Several in our party of 12 waited for 2 hours. There was a hostess who acted like the owner but really had no real authority. Drinks and food were not good at all. We will never be back. For fine dining prices I expect good service and food.

Excellent

very expensive sub-par food, horrible service, and to top it off, our waitress was sick. never going back!

We had a little after wedding dinner celebration last week with a larger dinner party of 9 people. We had 2 amazing waitresses that I’m truly sorry I did not get their names, but they went above and beyond for our party. They even set up a separate table for my wedding cake and had to-go containers for our party to take cake with them. The food was amazing and the atmosphere clean and so nicely decorated.

Keep in mind. Damenti's vision is high end dinning. So that means the food should not be pre made or frozen ever. As a local i have been here before. The food use to be just that fresh and High quality cuts of meat. Let me start with half of the menu was unavailable. I had rack of lamb. The fat wasn't trimmed season lacked flavor the meat tasted old the cook temp was almost correct. Garlic mashed potatoes didn't taste like garlic just butter. Calamari wasn't cleaned before breeding stringy bits trough out this also was un seasoned. The (shrimp scampi style?) Either its scampi or not. Boxed pasta Was over cooked. The frozen shrimp was cooked till it was like rubber. Soda was watered-down. Staff is untrained unable to describe menu items and confused as to what was in stock. Not sure what happened here but save your money find something else. The food doesn't reflect high quality by any means. $140 for 2 people. For a meal that should have cost $40 don't make the same mistakes i have.

Not a great experience at this restaurant, right from the hostess to the food. 40$ for a small piece of salmon that wasn't cooked well and presented on a plate without any seasoning, garnishing or sides. Way Overpriced for what this place offered in terms of food, ambience and service.

It's like if some guy had money so he bought a restaurant and let his angry daughter with a modern art degree decorate it. $50 NY Stip that tasted / looked like a one you would get for $15 at a dinner. Staff and service were good.... everything just felt pretentious and WAY overpriced.

My Delmonico was very good, good to a almost perfect rare as I requested. My wife had the scallop scampi topped with crab meat. She requested a side of Alfredo and the waitress had no problem going back and asking the chef to make it. I would return without question when me and my wife want a nice night out away from the kids.

Wonderful surprise. Came up as a suggestion so glad we felt adventurous. We really loved the service ,ambiance and food.
The coconut shrimp is delightful.

Food was only okay. especially for the high price. Benito's in Hazleton makes a much better veal parmesan. This had too much breading to veal and the sauce was on the sweet side. And the sauce on my wife 's beef stroganoff was *WAY* too sweet. We had to switch halfway through or she wouldn't have eaten. The house Cabernet was very nice. Their famous blue cheese salad was nice as well. Overall, a disappointing anniversary experience that we won't be repeating. In all fairness, we have friends who absolutely love and recommend this restaurant. It is what it is.

We love going up to Damemti's. We go every time we're in Hazleton. The seared scallops were amazing and the meatloaf we get every time. You MUST try the shrip app. Safe to say we'll be back twice a year every year.

The staff is also wonderful. They always remember my grandmother by name and are so sweet to her and her guests.

We stopped by on the way to The Poconos. Found it randomly and boy were we lucky! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We all loved our meals. They had homemade applesauce that the kids said was better than ice cream! The owner came over to chat with us briefly and share a bit about the restaurants story. If you’re driving by you should be sure to stop in! We’ll be back!
