This relaxed Chelsea Market seafood restaurant in the Montrose/Museum District area is adorned with family photos and area coastal maps. The food focuses on fresh local seafood and the signature garlic remoulade sauce of chef/owner Dan Nix, who cut his restaurant teeth in some of the area's most successful seafood spots. Menu standouts include smoky gumbos, stuffed flounder, shrimp Creole and sandwiches such as slow-cooked pot roast with Swiss. Fried shrimp, fresh-shucked Gulf Coast oysters, po'boys and crab dishes shore up the Cajun offerings.

Poor service from server, great service from busser...
by Fitness001 at Citysearch
My girlfriend and I were the first ones to walk into Danton's when they opened at 11am today. We have never been and decided to try something different from Pappa's Seafood House, a place we love. We were greeted and seated by the busser, after standing inside the front door for about 2 minutes. Long story short, our waitress didnt greet us with a smile and barely attended our table. The busser brought us the drinks and entrees. It took a long time to get our waitress' attention to get ketchup and cocktail sauce and she didnt even come by after the entrees were served to asked how things were.
We ordered 2 crab bisques(not exactly the way we fancy but was okay with tabasco and crackers), the grilled Halibut with mixed veggies and dirty rice(the fish was EXCELLENT along with the sides), and the stuffed shrimp with dirty rice and onion rings(the shrimp was okay, with tabasco).
I regret not getting the names of the awesome busser and the terrible waitress. We did however make it a point to pay our 20% tip directly to the busser and give the waitress nothing.
- Pros: Pros: Excellent Halibut, attentive busser
- Cons: Cons: bad/little-to-no service from waitress

Great "Gulf Coast Seafood". Period.
by goodgrubber at Citysearch
Great gumbo / oysters / shrimp / scallops / salads / wine specials. We prefer the bar setting - great atmosphere and personal knowledgable service. We applaud Dan, Kyle, and staff for obvious love and commitment to customers.
- Pros: No better Gumbo
- Cons: never had one!

Great place for oysters
by fun2dine at Citysearch
We've had dinner there a couple of times. They have great gumbo and the best fried oysters I've ever had. They have good food, nice atmosphere, and very good service.
- Pros: Best fried oysters in town.
