Great experience, great food 6/20/2005

Absolutely Phenomenal! 6/7/2005

From the opulent dining room to the delicious food and impeccable service - I highly recommend for a special night out! we went all out for the grand tasting menu with wine pairings (pistachio crusted foie gras was out of this world!) and were not disappointed. We never felt rushed as the waitstaff was excellent at not clearing our wine glasses until we were fully finished with a pairing. Even saw Chef Boulud walking around the dining room and got a tour of the kitchen. Pros: beautiful restaurant, delicious food, impeccable service Cons: very expensive more

Best of the Best 5/11/2005

Having dined there several times, I say without equivocation that Daniel is the best upscale restaurant in New York. I can find no fault with any aspect of the cuisine, of the ambience, or of the staff. Daniel himself treats each patron as if he or she were the only perosn in the place, as he has done since he started the place more than a decade ago at his 76th Street location. Whether it is the full blown tasting menu (let them decide the wines, but do not miss the Cuvee Daniel Champagne or the specially bottled Pinot Noir from Oregon), a bite of chese at the bar, a salad or a dinner, you'll be hard pressed to do better. Pros: Food, Service, Wine Cons: None, None, None more

A true delight. 3/17/2005

We were truly spoiled on this night. Not only was the tasting menu divine (all except the amuse, not what I would have expected), but the service was impeccable as was the skill of the sommelier who matched wines perfectly with the fair. I still need to call him back and find out what that sweet wine was that he suggested. What was really amazing and what added to our experience was Chef Daniel came out and chatted with us for quite a while. Pros: Food, service, wine more

Exceptional 3/1/2005

I went to Daniel for a special occasion and was thrilled that dining at Daniel made the special occasion even more ""special"". Service and food were exceptional. The wait-staff was attentive to all our needs. The food was very tasty and sublime. The only draw back was the dessert, I expected better dessert from Daniel. But over all it was an amazing experience. I have been to Daniel a couple of times and would definitely continue going. Pros: Service, Food, Wine List Cons: Dessert more

EXCELLENT!! 2/3/2005

The service and food was amazing. My bf and I got 100% service plus we received a dessert on the house to celebrate our anniversary that evening. This is definitely a must try place. Pricing is a bit steep but worth every penny of it. more

Wow! 1/30/2005

I went with a party of four for a business dinner. We had the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Each course was accompanied by a new bottle of wine. Both the food and the wines were extraordinary. Very flavorful dishes with excellent wines to match. The service was top notch -- better than I expected. more

romantic classy 12/9/2004

My favorite date spot to impress a girl. The wait staff are like best butlers, who can tastefully make you feel like a million bucks. Great loaction. What can beat the upper east side townhouse? The food is amazing. Try DB Modern too. Pros: food, service, ambience more

Perfection 12/7/2004

Before I went to Daniel, I had my reservations... But it's all true, from the food to the service, perfect. Daniel himself came over and made a special 5 course dinner for me and my girlfriend. If you are looking for a perfect evening for that special occasion. This is THE PLACE. Marcus, the man in charge. There is a reason why he is highly regarded in this industry. Marcus and his staff, very professional and warm. They serve you together as a team. I have been to many resturants paying thousands of dollars and by far this is the cream of the crop. Pros: Food, Service, Drinks more

Daniel does it again 11/4/2004

We're lucky enough to have our wedding anniversary in October, so this year we had the chance to partake of fresh shaved white truffles in abundance at Daniel. The incomparable aroma and luscious flavor made the additional supplement only a fleeting pang in the wallet. My husband and I visit Daniel as often as possible--as often as the budget allows, that is! Superb dining, awe-inspiring wine list (in bound volumes!), Daniel himself is charming, and service is always at your fingertips. While it is admittedly very expensive, I simply cannot fathom these bitter reviews I'm seeing. Please don't pay any mind to the ""advice"" of ""foodies"" who can't spell foie gras. Pros: Superlative, Fine Dining, Gracious Service more

overpriced and disappointing 11/1/2004

Did the tasting menu with wine pairings. From the stone cold butter to the soggy amuses to the miniscule servings, Daniel was truely disappointing. Tastings were so small and parsimonious I was unable to get a repeat of the flavors when they all came together. There were a couple revelatory moments but for the money I paid it should have been an evening of revelations - it wasn't. Service while professional was dogmatic. There are better, more satisfying, high caliber NYC restaurants. Cons: , dogmatic, stuffy more

The best of the best 10/1/2004

This was one of the finest restaurant experiences I have ever had. Service beyond imagination, in elegant, beautifully thought-out surroundings, as well as ethereal food. We had a four-course meal that included a celery root salad with apple gelee and a paper-thin slice of Granny Smith apple. Magnificent. a ""Duo of Beef"" in red wine which I found dee-lish but salty. The Roasted Black Bass w/ basil-tomato compote fennel and orange glaze was the highlight for me. Simply awesome. Save up and go for a special occasion, or invent one. You'll never have a more heavenly evening. Pros: impeccable service, elegant decor, amazing food Cons: , super expensive, no valet parking more

An experience to remember 9/13/2004

While the food is certainly not as interesting as Jean Georges, the service will blow you away. The food is still excellent, just not on the same level as Jean Georges and others. You will feel like royalty - the service is simply on another level. more

Magnificent! 9/4/2004

Food was out of this world; yes it is expensive but worth every penny! service was wonderful, not warm and fuzzy but attentive. great ambiance. can't wait to return!!! Pros: food, ambiance more

Worst place for a private dinner 9/3/2004

Don't even consider Daniel for a private dinner. I tried to organize my 40th birthday party and was willing to spend $200 per person. The banqueting manager took 10 days to reply to my inquiry and then totally missed informed me. When I finally got a hold of the General Manager (not his voice mail box), his excuse was we are busy. Not worth the money or the hassle. Many better places in New York to get superb food and GREAT ELEGANT SERVICE. Cons: , ATTITUDE, NOT GOOD FOR GROUP more

Eyes Wide Open 8/23/2004

Everything you come to expect from fine dining was there: the decor, service, and food ... five stars and then some. I went with a group of 4 people who arrived at different times so some us go to know the complimentary Relais and Chateaux brochures casually placed on tables throughout the restaurant (I still use the book today to plan trips, one of which was a trip to France). We spotted a well known celebrity who went to the kitchen to thank the chef. The waiting room, the dining area, the food, the whole experience could best be described as opulent. Pros: Beautiful Rooms more

It's all about perfection 6/26/2004

Everything about this restaurant is perfect to the smallest details. Staff is extremely knowledgable with elegant manner, something that is often lacking in the city's best restaurants. I consider our waiter ""connoisseur"" more than anything. It's definitely an old-fashioned restaurant. It is for people who like and appreciate a perfect, classic dining experience. Pros: Classic, Elegant dining room, Exceptional staff Cons: , Relative high noise more

Wonderful room, very mediocre food 6/17/2004

As a visiting foodie, I poured over all my resources to select an ultimate NYC dining experience. While the room is stunning, the food at Daniel was extremely mediocre. Would not make the top 15 in San Fran. The price for the quality was horific. For a place with a fabled wine list, the wine pairings featured Daniel labeled wines from various vitners. Black Angus was substituted for Kobe, yet a $15 surcharge was still applied. If you're a foodie, STAY AWAY! This place is living on reputation. Pros: Setting more

Much better French food elsewhere 4/8/2004

If you're a New Yorker and know good food, don't try Daniel. For one of the most expensive restaurants in NY, the food was very bland and not enjoyable. Whatever you do, don't order the duck - terrible. Go to Le Caravelle or Cafe des Artistes for a much better meal at a lower price. Pros: Good Service, Pretty Room Cons: , Loud, Very Expensive more
