Had an absolutely incredible evening at Daniel. I have been here before, but this is actually my first time writing a review, and this experience absolutely deserved one.
From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, polished, and genuinely welcoming. The food was exceptional from start to finish, beautifully presented, refined, and memorable in every way.
A special thank you to our host, Maynor Garcia, who truly made the night feel extra special. He was attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. He even gave us a tour of the kitchen after dinner, which was such a unique and unforgettable experience. Seeing the team behind the scenes made us appreciate the restaurant even more.
Daniel is already known for excellence, but it was the hospitality and personal touches that made the evening stand out. Truly a world class dining experience and one we will remember for a long time. Highly recommend.
We had a solid experience at Daniel. We did a five-course prix fixe menu. Each course came out perfectly. I enjoyed the seeded bread and our server packed up 6 pieces for us to take home - I was pleasantly amazed. On top of that, we were invited for a kitchen tour, which made the evening even more memorable.
So, I finally made it. After a botched attempt a few visits ago, when I messed up the reservation. And it has lived up to expectations. Have been a fan of Daniel Boulud since I started watching his After Hours. Having seen him and his kitchen in action on TV, I was therefore particularly thrilled when I was invited to peek into the kitchen after dinner.
My meal started with quail and foie gras, which combined to provide a balanced taste and texture. The warm appetiser was scampi and sweet breads, both favourites of mine but never companions on the same plate.
I particularly enjoyed the poached sturgeon. The fish was cooked just right, bringing out the sweetness of the fish and the firmness of the meat. I also enjoyed, unexpectedly, the rabbit ravioli that followed.
My meal ended with a chocolate dessert. It was a light rendition that brought my meal to a pleasant end.
What a spectacular experience. I’m blown away by how nicely we were treated by the staff at Daniel. So happy I chose to have my birthday celebration here. The team went above and beyond to make my day so special. Top notch - can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!
Had our anniversary dinner here. We chose the 5 course dinner and it was great. Food was delicious and service was amazing.
If you have a small appetite like my wife, 5 course might be a lot. She was full by dessert. All of the dishes were amazing.
The server was great and provided good recommendations and later gave us a quick tour of the kitchen.
