Dining at Potente is for lack of better words, other worldly... I was privileged enough to meet some friends there before a... concert and I was able to experience a flavor extravaganza I've never before had. Chef Danny Trace is by far one of the bestchefs ever. His attention to detail and ability to bring out so many layers of flavors in the simplest of dishes is beyondverbal description and only going to Potente and experiencing it for yourself will do. The entire Potente staff is friendly andattentive, fast and a pro at their art. I haven't given any other restaurants this high of praise and I doubt any other willreceive it. Get there. Enjoy it. Spoil your taste buds... It is all worth it. Read more
Amazing service and food. Everything came out hot and flavorful. Also loved that everything came out in tiers so we could enjoy... every course accordingly. The waiter even offered a second course! He split 1 of the top selling entrees 5 ways for me and partyto try. I would definitely come back again for the Cacio Pepe Truffle Spaghetti. It's a classic dish but potente has done itjustice! Grateful to spend my birthday there! I'd recommend making reservations, it's really busy and parking vallet will costyou an additional $11. Worth every penny! Read more
Great service and nice environment. The music played in the background is just the right volume so you can still hold a... conversation and enjoy the ambiance. The cocktails were unique and really impressive wine and liquor selection. Loved theattention to detail on the ice cubes. The cacio e pepe is definitely worth it- unfortunately we only ordered the "taster" whichis a half portion. The fresh truffle and fresh pasta make this dish truly exquisite. We also ordered the scallops and thepappardelle bolognese. These dishes were nice, but expected a better sear on the scallops. And the pork in the bolognese was abit tough and overcooked, a little too busy of a dish with the pork belly and pork rinds on the side. For dessert, the chocolatehazelnut cake was delicious. Overall, a good meal and would definitely come back. Read more
Just had a wonderful experience at Potente. There were 6 of us and every dish was exceptional. The meat was beautiful, the... seafood perfectly cooked and immaculately seasoned. The front of the house was every bit as good: attentive, respectful andfun. This was as good a meal as I have had in years. It's fine dining done very very well. Go there and enjoy every minute.

We arrived for our 6PM reservation and greeted by super friendly valet which was awesome. When we walked in we were instantly... greeted and walked down to our table which was near the bar. My fiancé and I were trying to sit down relax and enjoy a nicequiet romantic dinner but it was one opposite. For a fine dining restaurant I’d imagine people would have class andestablishment would have rules set. There was a lady at the bar just talking on speaker phone loudly to where I heard the wholeconversation from the moment we sat down until we left. On top of the lady at the bar there was a group of young ladies next tous literally yelling over each other even though they were at the same table right next to each other. We only made it breadservice before we decided we couldn’t handle it anymore, it was absolutely loud in there and ruined our date night andprobably one of the worse we ever had while on top of that the bread we received was hard as rock and hurt your teeth when youbit into it. Definitely will not be returning or recommending to anyone. Only reason for a two star instead of a one was becauseour waiter was extremely nice and he helped with the menu for the short bit we were there, also gave a great recommendation fora champagne that was very good. If it wasn’t for the valet and waiter definitely would’ve been a one star. If you arelooking for a nice date night I do not recommend Read more
