Editorial review from Citysearch 10/16/2012

Dinner for two was a whopping $350 but I would go back in a heartbeat. We opted for the tasting menu and I'm so glad we did. The braised short ribs were the best I've had in my life, the scottish pheasant terrine was fabulous. The service was impeccable and not stuffy at all. And the decor is stunning! I felt like I was dining in a Venetian palazzo, sumptuous deep-red velvet drapes, lovely and gargantuous floral arrangements. Do go for a special occasion if nothing else. It's so worth it. more

Perfect For That Special Occasion 2/14/2012

Went to Daniel with my boyfriend (thanks, honey!) for our anniversary and it's super-fancy and elegant. The service was amazing from start to finish, but perhaps a bit too formal for my taste. The meal was exquisite, down to every detail. I wouldn't go here often but if you're celebrating a big event or special occasion, definitely splurge and go! more

Delicious and auspicious 7/18/2011

One of the classiest and best restaurants in the city. A five-star experience, all the way. more

Exceptional 4/22/2011

Always a delight to dine at Daniel. The service is superb and the duck is amazing. Although pricey, it's something nice to treat yourself from time to time. more

Best French in New York! 1/24/2011

We have eaten many fantastic meals in New York City, but the food at Daniel, the whole experience really, was more than memorable and highlights were many. Our favorites were the scallops appetizer on the seasonal menu, and the braised cheeks of veal on the main menu, both of which were unbelievable. I almost didn't want to eat the last bites because I didn't want to be finished with the dishes. That I will never be able to prepare such flavors and textures makes me a bit sad. We enjoyed unique cocktails in the bar and my champagne mojito was delicious, For dinner, we had Lounge Seating, which was beautiful and cozy, with an army of attentive waiters. The prix-fixe 3-course dinner was a lot of food. A fresh pea-themed tower of treats arrived as we read the menu, the bread basket made several rounds about the room, and the main portions were sizable. I had read a review that said to save room for dessert, and we were glad we did. The chocolate guanaja was excellent, and as we enjoyed cappuccino, trays and baskets of tiny complimentary sweets paraded out of the kitchen: hot, fresh madeleines and tiny yuzu pastries were really fine. more

Worst three star restaurant ever experienced! 7/12/2010

I have visited several 1-3 star restaurants in Europe and I can't understand how Daniel is regarded as a three star restaurant. I spent $1000 on a taste menue for two. First it was only eight courses - I'm used to at least 12. The selected wines were good but out of the eight courses only one gave me a close ""wow"" experience. For a three star place ALL courses should give me a ""wow"" factor! Also one of the corses was ordinary duck/goose liver - what is that??? Even though it's good I can buy my own can of goose liver... Another thing, we didn't wear our best but ok because we travelled light on our way to a djungle tour in Costa Rica. We were kind of treated like second class people. One recommendation: Spend your money elsewhere! Pros: good bread Cons: over valued, not even a one star more

Restaurant Daniel on Behind the Burner 6/1/2010

I love Restaurant Daniel. Behind the Burner (. com) has some great stuff about the chef and the food. yummm more

Perfectionist 11/30/2009

Anyone who doubts that Daniel Boulud is a great chef, must have their sweetbreads checked. The man is such a perfectionist, and it comes through in ever dish, and every server. Considering he has quite a few restaurants, it is incredible that he is able to maintain the level of quality that he does. I have been dining her since it opened. The food only gets better, if possible. For special occasions, or a hot date, you will have her at ""Your reservations is under???"" Guaranteed to be a wonderful, impressive experience. Pros: food, decor, service, everything Cons: you get what you pay for and you pay for it. more

the best 10/2/2009

the nicest looking food on plates, and the best quality you can ever imagine. the service is to die for, and the atmosphere is phenomenon. every single thing you put in your mouth made in at the restaurant. and the best thing, is daniel his on kitchen cooks every night.. Pros: best upscale restaurant in town more

great! 5/19/2009

I went there in april 2009 with my fiance. We had the chef tasting menu which was a few more courses than the regular tasting menu. It was AMAZING!!! Every course was different but the transition from one to the next was great. The squab was really good!! We also added a cheese course and our head waiter helped us pick the cheese. I'm not a cheese person, but it was the BEST BEST cheese experience. And the dessert course for me was superb. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and it satisfied me. Oh, and they gave me an additional dessert with a birthday candle! A nice touch. more

The best. period. 2/25/2009

If you are looking for excellent original, and frankly, orgsmc food? Visit Daniels. The food is amazing and the service is the best in NYC. My husband and I have been here several times and we have never been disappointed. Worth every penny Cons: Preferred original decor, not so much a fan of the new modern decor more

Recommended, with some reservations. 12/16/2008

We came here for dinner, with a reservation (a must). We were seated immediately, but told that we would have to be out within two hours for the next seating. Also, because we had an early dinner we could not be seated in the prime area as those seats were reserved for the 8 p.m. seating. As a result we had to sit on the side and be routinely bumped by waiters carrying food back and forth. We had the tasting menu, which consisted of five courses and a dessert. The five courses were excellent and most were quite creative. Overall, they probably proved to be the best dinner we've had in New York. The dessert, however, was terrible. It was not just subpar, but essentially inedible. Luckily we were not very hungry at that point. The wine recommended to us was made at the Restaurant's vineyard and was very good. Having left the restaurant we discussed the meal and decided that although it was an excellent meal, if was five times the price of our next best alternative and the minor improvement in quality was not worth the price. It is, however, a beautiful restaurant with excellent food and may very well be an excellent idea for a special occasion splurge. more

wonderful 11/26/2008

In a known for its restaurants, Daniel is a stand out. I wish the menu were more extensive, but everything on it is amazing. Its the kind of restaurant where you're sitting back thinking you've had a perfect dining experience . Wine selection is very good (with a very good sommelier). Reservations are a must. A favorite for more than a decade. more
