The Scene – Known for a gorgeous view of the water, the large windows and spacious interior are warmed up with a copper-hooded fireplace and lush draperies. A roomy bar caters to the happy-hour, cigar-and-scotch crowd. In both areas, the bustling servers do their best to keep up with a crowd, and mistakes are patched up with a smile. – – The Food – Steaks can be dynamite: The rib eye is charred to the deliciously rare side of medium rare--as is the enormous 24-ounce porterhouse that arrives at the table sizzling. But steak isn't the only way to go. Four double-cut…

The best place for a special occasion
by LeDo
Our first visit to Daniel?s was for a birthday celebration (a party of two on a Thursday night). The waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. We were seated at a both that had a nice view of Seattle's waterfront and city lights. The entrees were perfectly timed/spaced. We had read the reviews and were prepared to look for free public parking, high-end prices and not to expect birthday cake. Our dinners (filet mignon, lobster, New York steak...) were cooked perfectly. The lights were nice and dim, and to our surprise the waiter used a small flashlight to ensure that our steaks were cooked to our liking. We got another very pleasant surprise at the end our meals - we received a nicely presented chocolate mousse cake with white chocolate flakes and a lighted candle, the waiter even sung along to Happy Birthday with me - how sweet:) The atmosphere was cozy ? you could hear the live piano music and the bar-life in the background. Overall, we would go to Daniel's again for any special occasion. Our waiter, Thomas, really made the evening special.
- Pros: Service, view, location, menu choices, ambience
- Cons: Charge for parking

My husband & I went here for Thanksgiving dinner and I have to say the food wasn't even mediocre. The service was great - we had a fantastic bottle of wine, and they accomodated our request for a table with a view, but the food wasn't even as good as we could have gotten at Marie Callendars and cost 2.5 times as much. My turkey was dry and lukewarm and my husband's prime rib came out cold and cooked medium (bordering on well done) when he had asked for it medium rare. He returned it and got back the same piece now hot, but completely overdone. The 'creme brulee' for dessert was a thick eggy custard; at least the pumpkin pie was palatable. Neither one of us ate our whole meal, nor did we bother to take anything home (very, very unlike us). Luckily we had a gift certificate because if we had actually paid for that food, I probably would have cried. I'm really surprised by how unappetizing that meal was - it wasn't like the place was packed with people (there were a few empty tables that i could see) and the food wasn't anything unusual. All we wanted was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to make up for being far from family, but instead we got good wine and good service but horrible food. I will definitely not eat there again - especially at those prices.
- Pros: Great Service - Fantastic view
- Cons: Food is terrible

The best joke ever...Avoid on ALL days!
by sanjinj
To begin with,Daniel?s Broiler is NOT a top-notch steakhouse at all,especially not in Seattle;the Metropolitan Grill has the best steak in town.Anyway,my first and final visit to Daniel?s Broiler was last night;my girlfriend and I were celebrating our birthdays so we invited ten of our closest friends for a dinner.I was disappointed immediately after arriving at Daniel?s Broiler with their valet parking employees and rules;I had a better customer service in Les Schwab a day before.I was mad when I was told that I have to pay $5 for parking or to go somewhere else and park my car myself.I was embarrassed that my friends will have to go through the same regime so I had to organize parking for everyone before they arrive,I paid for each car.The second disappointment was our small table; there were 12 of us sitting at the table for six.It was hard to move and impossible to fit all plates,glasses,and vine bottles at the same time.The food quality is average,I had a better steak from Costco,and for this reason prices are absolutely ridicules,too high for nothing.Atmosphere was fine except for the air-conditioner blowing ice-cold air directly at our heads,I wish I had my hat for skiing last night;everyone was freezing,after complaining to our food server the air-conditioner stopped for a moment.Our food server was nice but semi-professional and the biggest disappointment came from him at the end of our dinner.At some point he asked me what is the occasion and I told him that we are celebrating our birthdays.Through my experience from previous birthday parties at Hilton and Four Seasons I was expecting that he will come back with a small cake or bottle of wine on house,and this felt really nice,but the best joke ever was that he brought as two little empty plates with small candles burning in the center.For a moment a felt so embarrassed and everyone was stunned,but then I started to ironically laugh to break the silence. Wow...that was so creative - thank you.
- Pros: Live piano music
- Cons: parking, food, ambience, too cold.

Know Before You Go:
For camp appeal, the glass-topped piano in the lounge can't be beat. And if you get there early, you can actually eat on it.
