Noura S.July 14, 2016From my personal experience.. The food tastes fine!! It is more of how artsy the plates are which makes it an upscale "Resto"
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010A classic French restaurant at its best, its famous chef adds unusual twists and influences to traditional techniques. If a full-course meal isn't your style, dine a la carte in the lounge.

Jym BenzingOctober 12, 2013Get the tasting menu & indulge! Our captain Melissa was amazing & made the epic eating experience go beyond our expectations.
Jon B.November 27, 2016Do the tasting menu with full wine pairings. If you cannot afford the full experience, then don't bother doing a la carte

@JaumePrimeroNovember 10, 2011Few restaurants can fill the dining room during an economic downturn. Daniel has firmly positioned itself as a gastronomic institution worldwide. The white Alba truffle tasting took my breath away.
