I really don't know where to begin. This was a once in a lifetime experience for myself personally and my family. This was a celebration of my wife's, and my 70th Birthday which we had been planning for over the last year. To say it met our expectations is an understatement! From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, from the greeting, and the seating all personnel at the restaurant went well over the edge to making this experience undoubtably never forgetting. And when I say we will never forget it is an understatement. I first would be remiss in not singling out our very professional and attentive staff that waited/took care of us. We need to give credit to the following staff members, Alan, Humberto, Roderick, Maria, and Laura for their very caring and making sure that our experience was something we would never forget. Now from a food standpoint, as someone that has been in many Michelin restaurants around the country and world, this one has definitely hit it out of the park. We did a mixture of the 3 and 5 pairing tasting menus and to try and describe each dish would not do it right. We all could not believe the quality, taste, and presentation of all the dishes as well as all the add Ons totally unexpected. It was topped off by a great presentation and desert for our birthday with a signature plate with our names on it in chocolate. Very extraordinary. Can't recommend this enough for anyone who wants to experience a gastronomical experience and first-class presentation of what a restaurant should be.

This is a very special place. The meal was perfection and quite inventive. They managed my dietary needs. Jorge who managed our table primarily was thoughtful and helpful. No one was obsequious.the atmosphere is warm. Dining here is an event in itself so would not make other plans. We had a tour of the outer area of the kitchen this year which was a nice touch. Be intentional, make this reservation, and soak it all in.

What a fantastic place. We went for a long walk in Central Park and decided to try to get in here on a Saturday night. Kind of underdressed for the occasion and didn't have much hope. But we got a seat at the bar, which is lovely. Everything we ate and drank was exceptional. I got the red mullet, my wife got the salmon, all great, as were the desserts. The bread and butter -- salty delicious French butter -- also really good. Finally, the service at Daniel is a level above. Just extraordinary -- friendly, attentive, knowledgeable. Overall, excellent experience. Can't wait to go back and will make a reservation in the dining room next time.

My husband and I dined here for dinner yesterday to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The food was incredible, but what made it an absolute five star experience was the exceptional service. Daniel Boulud’s restaurants never disappoint. So glad we celebrated our anniversary at Restaurant Daniel.

Exceptional experience We want for a birthday with another couple. They were able to tailor the tasting menu for a vegetarian experience and it was equally as good. The tasting menu and selected wine were perfect. The most memorable were the white cosmo to start, the black truffle risotto on the tasting menu, and the quail egg. They really set it up perfectely. The staff goes above and beyond.
