What People Are Saying About Daniel

If one restaurant in New York can be said to capture the ideal of classical French fine dining, it's Daniel. As a result of chef Boulud's classical training, his east side dining paradise is the most traditional of the city's grand dining palaces; yet it remains careful and modern. Adam Tihany's 2008 redesign imposed simple and elegant modern touches over the soaring columns, carved balustrades, and wrought-iron wall sconces that give the room is neo-classical, temple-like feel. Likewise, the menu, while emphasizing French technique, is pointedly global, drawing on Asian, Italian, North…

Perfectionist
by BrandonScott1978 at Citysearch
Anyone who doubts that Daniel Boulud is a great chef, must have their sweetbreads checked. The man is such a perfectionist, and it comes through in ever dish, and every server. Considering he has quite a few restaurants, it is incredible that he is able to maintain the level of quality that he does. I have been dining her since it opened. The food only gets better, if possible. For special occasions, or a hot date, you will have her at "Your reservations is under???" Guaranteed to be a wonderful, impressive experience.
- Pros: food, decor, service, everything
- Cons: you get what you pay for and you pay for it.

great!

I went there in april 2009 with my fiance. We had the chef tasting menu which was a few more courses than the regular tasting menu. It was AMAZING!!! Every course was different but the transition from one to the next was great. The squab was really good!! We also added a cheese course and our head waiter helped us pick the cheese. I'm not a cheese person, but it was the BEST BEST cheese experience. And the dessert course for me was superb. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and it satisfied me. Oh, and they gave me an additional dessert with a birthday candle! A nice touch.
One more thing to mention--the service was FANTASTIC! they are so attentive and cleaned our table after every single course. really great.
Overall, everything met my high expectations. I had heard great things about this restaurant and it exceeded the expectations.
