Exquisite food is priceless, but... 12/2/2002

My first dining experience at Daniels was wonderful, the food was wonderful... I will run out of time and space to describe the entire 5 course tasting menu that I enjoyed last night. Few points I would like to make though. For such a highly rated restaurant it DOES fall short on Service, Ambience and if you want to talk about money... Value. There is definitely a crowd of regulars that frequent the restaurant, the VIP, and they are certainely treated differently. The atmosphere is snooty, and so are many of the waiting staff. If you want BEST value, top notch French cuisine, a wine tasting menu to die for, selec cheeses, and the best romantic setting, go to CHANTERELLE!! Pros: Food, Daniel Bouloud Cons: Prices, Setting, Captain with attitude more

SUBLIME 11/21/2002

It was my boyfriend's birthday and had heard great things about Daniel. All of them were true, the three course meal for $85 was great for the electic selection. Wine selection was amazing. Service was Unbelievable. They overheard us talk about his birthday and brought out a dessert with a candle in addition to the 2 we had ordered. Truly sublime food, wonderful service and superb attention. Ask for a booth. Pros: People Watching, Wine List more

Bring the bank but it is worth it! 11/12/2002

I was visiting New York and used the citysearch to find a good restaurant. I was very impressed with Daniels and it was the highlight of the weekend. The service was simply awsome and the food not only tasted good but was elegant in presentation. Pros: Excellent Service, Food Cons: Price more

Bravo! 11/12/2002

Had a wonderful meal here recently. It's been a few years and I am still very impressed by the taste and innovativeness of the cusine. Service was very attentive. Who else is better in New York? Well, I have yet to try Alain Ducasse. Ah, someday... Pros: food, service, ambience more

Such an experience dining in this very elite restaurant. Garlic bread is perfect.... Pros: food is very tasty Cons: expensive more

Magnificent 10/15/2002

My wife and I recently celebrated our 20th anniversary with a weekend in NY and dinner at Daniel. We couldn't have chosen a finer restaurant. The restaurant is romantically decorated in red, the staff was professional, friendly and attentive to our every whim. The food was magnificent as each mouthful was better than the last. Highly recommended. Dinner for two, champagne and tip was approximately $400.00. Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance more

Boulud at the top of his form 10/7/2002

This restaurant is not only gorgeous, the food is magnificent. Every aspect of our dining experience was superb. Top-flight cuisine, amazing wine list, wonderful service from a helpful and courteous staff. And, for the money, an excellent value. We will definitely be returning. Pros: Gorgeous Room, Amazing Wine List, Magnificent Food Cons: I don't live in NYC more

wonderful 9/22/2002

expectations were high so there were a few disappointments (i.e. mistake on the check, overly salty morels stuffed with foie gras) but overall, Daniel's dishes are revelations in taste. Service is dramatic and romantic but you really feel that they want you to spend more than you're willing more

Rip off 9/7/2002

Recently, I went to Daniel and was extremely disappointed. I was surprised because the last time I had been there it had been amazing, but it was a long time back when the restaurant was still located in the Surrey Hotel. This time, I ordered the tasting menu and the only two dishes I enjoyed were the squab and the sorbet. For $120 (without wine) it was a major rip off. Cons: food wasn't fresh, obsequious service more

Exquisite 8/20/2002

A must go for a once in a lifetime treat!!! It's absolutely magnificent for impeccable service, lush decor and most importantly, the most exquisite food that one has ever eaten. It is pricey, yes, but it's definitely worth it because, like I said, it's a once in a lifetime treat! more

The Best!!! 8/11/2002

This place is the best in the city. I have never eaten anything as great as this was. If you can get a corner table you can see the entire room while eating in elegance. The staff was so friendly and attentive. It is really expensive, but you have to come here. more

PERFECT FRENCH!!! 8/3/2002

This is the best of the best overall french experience I've ever had in NYC. Decor, Service & best of all, Food - all great!!! Everyone on staff was in perfect form and attitude. Then again, if a party of 6 were to spend ~$1800 plus 2 bottles of wonderful vintage reds... I'd expect everything to be as perfect as can be for that kind of $$$... more

Attitude re-adjustment needed 7/31/2002

Empty tables waiting for the rich and famous while we were kept waiting over an hour beyond our reservation time (and we even showed up early). Worst of all, the Maitre d' did not care. If the money you spend is meant to be for the overall experience, then Daniel is a waste. There are plenty of excellent restaurants that treat you with respect in the city - don't bother with Daniel Cons: Service, Maitre d', Attitude more

Un-Happy Birthday 6/28/2002

Last year I took my girlfriend to Daniel for her birthday. Major disappointment. The main course was oversalted, the waiter was perfunctory, and it took 45 minutes! for the cheese course to arrive. When we kept asking about the hold-up, the headwaiter finally came by and said that there was only one cheese cart in use that evening and it would be awhile. The best measure of food is its memorability. i don't remember a thing from that evening except how poor the experience was. Never again. more

Mainly an ""experience"" 6/10/2002

I'd been wanting to dine here for the longest time. While the dishes were certainly well executed, I was not impressed with the lack of flavors. (Apparently I ""missed the point"", as others have told me that Daniel is about bringing out and celebrating the NATURAL flavors of food, and not overpowering them). But for $125 p/p (no drinks), I prefer less bland food, and more FLAVOR. I will say however that the desserts were AWESOME. Atmosphere, while elegant, was way too formal for my liking. All in all, I was glad to have gone, but wouldn't return. To give you a sense of my taste ""level"", I'd prefer Gigino, Gascogne, Isla, Calle Ocho or Bouley. more
