Daniel is a truly wonderful experience from the moment you enter the door until the moment you leave Each course is a gastronomical delight! The presentation is incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed each dish, including the “surprise” dishes sent from the chef. The Pennsylvania Zucchini was amazing. The Manchester Quail “Farci” was unusual and delicious. Javier was our waiter and was gracious, helpful and attentive. Be certain to get the Arriba! Thank you for a delightful, memorable evening. We will be back!

We live in Puerto Rico, but whenever we travel to New York, we have to go to this restaurant. Over the years, it has become a very special place for us. We've celebrated birthdays and anniversaries there, and the experience has always been exceptional. This past weekend, we celebrated my husband's birthday, and they didn't disappoint. The food, the wine selection, and especially the service were outstanding, as always. Daniel will continue to be our favorite restaurant in New York.

I took my 18 year old son, one of his friends, and my 16 year old daughter here for their first fine dining experience while on vacation to New York City. The food was outstanding and the service was unforgettable. The staff was attentive and took time to get to know us to better understand our experience and our needs. My unique alpha gal allergy was accommodated for flawlessly. It was an experience that we will never forget and I hope I get the opportunity to return.
