Daniel's is ridiculously expensive. The smaller filet mignon is $36. A party of two won't get out of there spending less than $100, even if you go light on the alcohol and skip dessert. But that's not the way to do Daniel's. It's all the way or not at all. Get the filet. Get a salad. I don't like the chocolate-dipped strawberries filled with grand marnier, but get them anyway. You'll have to get a smaller apartment, maybe work a few extra weekends, but it will be worth it. From the crispy-crust-soft-insides bread to the incomparably tender and flavorful filet to the amazing service. Save up, get hungry, and tip well.
