The Black Sea bass and Wagyu was my favorite. Priceless 4 course and cocktails. Their dessert was mind blowing. Can’t wait to come back and indulge. Will have to experience the tasting menu as an appetizer.

The experience was truly unforgettable. I hadn't set high expectations for the place or the food, but I was blown away. The service was exceptional – a cohesive and knowledgeable team. Our server had been there for an impressive 15 years! Opting for the 4-course prix fixe menu with premium wine pairing exceeded all expectations. The wines were paired exquisitely with our dishes; special mention goes to the champagne that arrived as a palate cleanser. The food itself was a work of art, bursting with flavor and evident attention to detail and quality. The dessert, a sorbet dish, was a revelation – its unique preparation led to an explosion of flavors in your mouth. As a delightful surprise, they treated us to an additional cake (a mini masterpiece) to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was both visually stunning and decadently delicious. Kudos to the Pastry chef, but honestly, the entire team at Daniel deserves applause for creating an exceptional and truly unforgettable dining experience. I awarded the atmosphere 4 stars, with no reflection on Daniel's part. The dining room offers an open setting, but unfortunately, due to a boisterous table of women, many of us experienced some visible discomfort. The volume of their conversation and screeching was quite noticeable.

The food was absolutely delicious starting with appetizers. Fish was amazing but I’m most impressed with the rose petal sauce with the pork chop! The melon dessert was absolutely amazing as was the rose dessert.

First time dining at Daniel. While the food is extraordinary what stood out most was our primary server Magalie. Her name means Pearl in English and she is a precious gem. She explained each dish and helped with my struggle over the dessert choices. Magalie's table side preparation of the foie gras was perfection. The restaurant is quiet for relaxed conversation. Of the four courses my favorites were the spot prawn tartar, and the soft shell crab tempura. The amuse bouche trio of leeks was so delicious and beautiful to look at. I look forward to dining here again.

This is a 2* Michelin restaurant which once was a 3* owned by one of NY's most legendary chefs. It truly deserves its' status. It was a rainy day and we came early in case of traffic. They accomodated us in the lounge and I had a nice glass of port while I waited for our dinner reservation. Really comfortable chairs and very elegant in a classic building.
We had spot prawns tartare which were exquisite with the uni. We also had smoked sable fish vichyssoise with ossetra caviar. The mild sourness of the soup balanced the strong flavor of the fish and the caviar was a highlight.
We shared a very rich and intense foie gras that was pre-seared then flambéd table side. This was a highlight of our meal. The soft shell crab tempura had different sauces and accents that elevated the experience.
Some of us had swordfish which was a work of art and others a strip loin that even if it was rare, didn't taste bloody and was really tender. I could imagine it was prepared sous vide before it was seared.
Dessert was a work of art. We had 3 different plates and forgot the names of the dishes.
To end a wonderful night we had chocolate sticks including one our server arranged as a hashtag truly #exquisite.

Excellent fine French dining experience with very skillful and attentive service. All of the dishes we had were delicious and interesting. I was particularly impressed by the frog legs and the beef. The flan was a really great dessert as well - very flavorful and only minimally sweetened. It definitely deserves its two Michelin stars in my opinion.
