    My first restaurant will always have a spot in my heart. Go for the tasting menu with wine pairings and let our excellent team of chefs and sommeliers guide you through an enchanting meal.

    Top notch services. Professional, friendly yet not too formal. If you are getting the 4-courses menu. Highly recommend the foie gras but avoid the Wagyu.

    This was a fun experience but I'm not sure the 7 course tasting menu is worth the price tag. Everything was good and perfectly presented, but I wasn't blown away by any of the dishes.

    Daniel by Chef Daniel Boulud is 5 star everything. The space, the service from the front desk, the bartenders, waitstaff, everything is executed perfectly. Each course and bite of food is breathtaking

    Fine dining at its best 👌🏻 The 4-course menu offers a wide-choice of options. We loved the “wagyu beef with chanterelles, sauce Bordelaise”. For the show, order the vodka flambé’ed Foie Gras 🔥

    Service, food, ambience--this place is amazing. Came for a special occasion & tried the 4 course tasting menu. While it's only four courses, they fill you up with other goodies during your meal.

    Think you're done with the tasting menu? Think again. The desserts just keep coming (including this one which came with its own packaging, devoured in the cab ride home)

    The food was perfect, they offer a 4 and 5 course menu as well as single choice if you sit in the lounge area. By far the best restaurant I have ever been to. The service is amazing.

    One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had. The staff was friendly, and the food presentations were like a work of art. Very expensive, but I think it‘s okay with once in a lifetime experience.

    The tasting menu is a classics tour de force. Delicious, ambitious, and it just keeps coming. Maybe not the most modern by today’s standards but soul satisfying. Surrender to Daniel!

    Get the three course tasting menu! Then you can add extra appetizers or desserts a la carte if you want to try more plates! Absolutely unbelievable food and service!

    Do yourself a favor and order a white cosmopolitan. 7 course meal is the epitome of glutton; recommend you skip lunch if you plan to go for 7 course. The same goes for your entire table

    A New York institution if now a little past it’s prime. Nice atmosphere and well done, if safe cuisine. You could certainly do a lot worse.

    A variety of menu options, including the standard 3 course prix fix and a number of tasting menus, are available at Daniel. With superb service and well-executed plates, and it's a guaranteed success.

    Boulud clan, hits French cuisine out of the park with this UES spot. Their tasting menu is something that everyone should try at least once, as is their extensive list of wines.

    If you decide to go a la carte, try the meyer lemon royale with sea urchin, followed by the slow baked arctic char and if you have room, the warm guanaja chocolate coulant is a must!

    The sea bass is spectacular! Also, I highly recommend the White Cosmopolitan - ice ball with a live orchid inside it! 😯💛

    The lounge provides a more diverse dining experience than the restaurant. Service/attention to detail was on point.  The amuse bouches were inventive and delightful.

    Time to celebrate with the special 6 course tasting option. Include the Black Sea bass in your order to get an incredible light fish covered with delicious syrah wine sauce and crisp from tempura.

    An elegant and high-end French eatery. The staff is always friendly and conversational. We love the eight-course “Grand Tasting,” which is paired with wine flights!

    This Michelin rated restaurant makes for a great special occasion dinner. The best value is had in the 3 course prix fixe, or you can splurge for the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing.

    Great French restaurant, always a special occasion. I would pick Bouley if I had to pick between the two but Daniel makes for a lovely evening as well.

    One of the best in the city, but not my favorite. Service can be a bit stiff- hard to get them to crack a smile. Food is very good.

    The food was beautiful to look at, cool place for people watching. Food was ok, yellow tail in yuzu stood out no need for dessert as they give u many mini desserts at the end.

    Request the soufflé dessert upon sitting down at your table (or in your reservation) otherwise you'll be robbed of the experience bc it's not listed on the menu
