   I have ben to Daniels many times...always great till this time. I ordered the Lobster Bisque (great) and a Shrimp Salad. The salad had so little dressing on it I couldn't identify what it was (and it was a blue cheese so I should have known). Also, the calamari we ordered for appetizer was good but the sauces were not. I have always thought of Daniels as a very nice place...definitely dress up a little (even if nice shorts on a nice day like we had). I was really surprised to see a table of younger people who were in their bathing suits. I'm not a prude but I think that is not really acceptable attire for that restaurant. Daniels has always been spendy but this time it seemed really overpriced. For 4 of us it cost over $450. And that was with each of us having only one drink, 2 of us having ony bisque and salad, and 2 of us having a dessert. I was very disappointed as it was a celebration of two birthdays.

   We enjoyed our birthday celebration (for two) in a party of 4, seated outside on a lovely evening overlooking the lake. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. The service was considerate, so overall it was a nice experience, except the prices were much more than I expected. Google suggested the prices would be about $50 each for the basic entrees, but the prices were much more than that. For 4 people, only one having an alcoholic drink (beer) and one having desert, the total including a 20% auto-applied service charge, and tax, was $468. We have patronized Daniels Broiler a few times before, but not in the last 2+ years, but we probably wont be going again unless we win the lottery.

   The restaurant was very old, table and chairs were not impressive. They could have covered up the tables with a white tablecloth.

    Very expensive for what you get, prices 20% more than at comparable restaurants. Apparently focuses on steak, but I’ve had better steaks, for less expense, than here. And it took a very long while to get our meals, which were basically just steak and potatoes. The view is nice. But it doesn’t compensate for the food and expense.

    Everything was great. The steaks and the service were both top notch. Franklin was our server and was like one of the family. The location on the lake was a beautiful spot to celebrate our anniversary. Daniel's is definitely expensive, but we don't get out to fancy dinners too often. Loved it. Thanks

    Rating Daniel's feels like rating the Ritz-Carlton. You don't need to rate or review something that's class leading :). Was perfect as always. Attention to detail, quality of food and service is impeccable!

    As always, outstanding steak house. Great views. I'm sure the pandemic has hurt their staffing levels. Services was slow. The mashed potatoes were cool by the time they arrived to the table. Steak was excellent. I'm not crazy about mandatory 20% tip for a party of 2, but I guess that's the way it is nowadays at nicer places.

    I've never been to Daniels this was my first experience! the Staff was extremely Friendly, the food was beautiful and well prepared although the bread was very chewy and hard to bite or tear through and I felt I had to chase down our waitor to get a water refill multiple times, I was hoping the atmosphere was a bit more classy/quiet as the noise in the dining room reminded me of a Red Robin. All in all it was a nice night but not a 5star experience.

    We had a wonderful meal, punctuated by a double rainbow at the peaceful lakeside setting. Franklin was an excellent waitstaff, present and prompt without being overbearing. Gave us great advice on selections, including bacon-wrapped scallops and popcorn shrimp. Abeja cabernet sauvignon from Columbia Valley was an excellent value recommendation from Franklin and worked well with our meal options. Steak in many forms (petit filet, delmonico's and rib eye) were outstanding, as was the ahi tune. The king crab was passable but not worth skipping an excellent steak. Wonderful desserts finished off the evening with coconut fudge sundae (for the birthday girl!) creme brulee and deep dish chocolate chip cookie, We will be back for the next special occasion!

    The food quality, presentation and service were excellent due to the earlier dinner seating we selected. Recommend booking early for the best view table and service. As our reservation was for 5pm, as we were finishing at around 6:30... it was getting busy and waiter and dessert took a bit longer..

    It was a girlfriends lunch for three. The restaurant had only the one menu and entrées were priced for high-end dinners ($49). That’s just too much for lunch. We chose salads ($16.99) and they were fine. We ordered the steak strips appetizer to share, something we all recalled from past Daniel’s experiences. The dish was $25 for a very tiny portion of steak. It was delicious, but they weren’t strips, they were tips. And we had enough for two small one inch tips each. Shocked by the price and portion size. It’s a beautiful place and we enjoyed ourselves and our waitress was very nice. But the entrée prices for lunch and the appetizer cost for the portion bummed us out. A damper on an otherwise nice experience.

    As you see, another of my regulars (from happy hour at the bar days before COVID-19 !). Ana told me to get a steak, so got a steak sandwich. Exceptional quality, besides the excellent service. And best view in Seattle! I miss the regulars. Oh, certainly some have moved, left Seattle… perhaps some will return when happy hour returns! I started here on TDK, Panasonic, Sony expense accounts decades ago. And later a regular for birthdays, anniversary and any special occasions

    My steak and my wife steaks were both over done. We both asked for medium rare plus and they both came out with almost no pink. We had our active 3 year old son with us, so we didn't have time to wait for a replacement steak. Disappointed to not get the exact steak we are looking for when paying top dollar. Didn't Daniels used to have you cut into the steak in front of the waiter to make sure it was cooked to your liking? What happened to that?

    Go for the water views but be prepared for the prices. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops, clam chowder, ceasar salad, ribeyes, chilean sea bass, and king salmon and everything was good but not outstanding. The ribeyes were not medium rare and while they had a nice flavor the quality of the meat was not exceptional. I would say if you were very particular about your steak you would be happier elsewhere but those other steakhouses don't have the amazing water views and for a special dinner out with visitors from out of state that was really important to us.

    Service was okay…. On the slow side. My rating has to do with the price of the food and the ambiance. For a restaurant that charges very high prices, I was expecting a LOT better that what we paid for. The tables were rickety and seats uncomfortable. We were sitting outside. The prices were high for food that was good but definitely NOT great. If I want to go someplace and pay top dollar… go to Canlis. Then you can have an experience worthy of a $100 plate. I won’t be back.
