We had our company dinner here this past December, and the food was excellent. The service was quick, and the open bar service was friendly.

Great Celebrations!

Daniel’s is a very versatile location for everything from date night, to celebrating a special event. The dining room with its amazing views of Lake Union is the perfect setting for a celebratory dinner – birthdays, anniversaries, holiday gatherings. Food is cooked to perfection, and then served by experienced, attentive waitstaff who stand tableside while you cut into your meat and make sure it is cooked to your liking. Their specialty is steak and you will see why when you taste the wonderfully tender, flavorful New York, heavenly with the addition of the peppercorn brandy sauce. The lamb is melt-in-your-mouth amazing and seafood is fresh and delicious.

The bar is a great choice for a date. Get cozy and pull up a comfy overstuffed chair by the fireplace. There is an early as well as a late happy hour, seven nights a week, where you can enjoy half price appetizers, and great deals on beer, wine and martinis. Try the steak strips, popcorn shrimp, and depending on how things are going, the oysters on the half shell. Live entertainment in the piano bar is offered on certain nights for even more ambience.

For your very special occasion Daniel’s also has elegant private dining rooms on the lower level with their own private outside deck. Or just hold an afternoon soiree in the piano bar. The catering staff is amazing with a range of budgets!

The best place for a special occasion

by LeDo at Citysearch

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

Wow - $171.00 for this?

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
