Daniel’s Broiler

Daniel’s Broiler manages the rare feat of being wildly overpriced and deeply disappointing. The steak? Tough after two bites—chewy in that “did we anger the cow?” kind of way. For a place that brags about beef, serving meat this rubbery should be embarrassing. The mashed potatoes were somehow worse: aggressively salty, gluey, and gummy, like they’d been sitting under a heat lamp since the Bush administration. Comfort food should comfort—this felt like punishment. And then there’s the staff. Dismissive, cold, and uncomfortably biased in how they treated guests. The vibe crossed from “bad service” into something much uglier, and it was impossible not to notice. When you’re charging premium prices, the bare minimum is basic respect—and even that was missing. Daniel’s Broiler trades on reputation alone. The food doesn’t justify the price, the service doesn’t justify the attitude, and the overall experience leaves you wondering how this place is still coasting on a name instead of quality. Save your money. There are far better steaks—and far better people—elsewhere like: 1. El Gaucho 2. John Howie Steak

Went here to celebrate mom’s birthday and thought it was a great way to celebrate her since the service was great and the food tasted incredible! Ordered the ribeye steak and it was very juicy and tender. For appetizer, ordered a lobster bisque, which was very creamy. The chocolate cake dessert was by far my favorite! A bit sweet, but it was a great cake with great chocolate flavor. The setting is also very aesthetic. It is on the pricier end, but if you buy the gift cards at Costco, you can save some money.

The restaurant is nice and the staff attentive. Parking is available in the garage or at the hotel if you want valet. I really wanted to love all the food, but some items did fall short such as the Ribeye. I am not a huge fan of gloppy stuff on top of my steak... just salt and pepper. I would go somewhere else for a steak. Other items were good, I just wasn't blown away by the food. I did enjoy the dessert assortment. Give it a try. Make up your own mind. Ask for what you want.

Horrible experience!! Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We had a reservation but still waited over half an hour over our reservation time. The host was rude. The server wasn’t paying attention to what we requested so the food wasn’t prepared as we requested. Had to ask for bread. Then the server forgot where she put the cake. Then of course the manager didn’t care. Will NEVER return!!

I went here for my birthday and I have to say that this place really hold up to their reputation of having the best steak in town. I got the steak platter with wagyu and it was the most tender, and flavorful steak I’ve had in a while. Everyone in our table enjoyed their meal. It was a plus that everyone was so pleasant and accommodating. I continue to recommend this place and looking forward to dine here again in the near future.

Love the view. Went for a quick bite. The menu sadly have steamed clams which I really was carving. A good Chardonnay.

Daniel’s Broiler delivers a classic steakhouse experience with upscale ambiance, city views, and polished service that many diners enjoy for special occasions or memorable meals. Steaks here are a highlight, and my favorites include the Piedmontese Filet Mignon and the Flight of Filet Mignon, a sampler of different filet styles both praised for their tender texture and rich flavor profiles. I like the beefsteak tomato salad as a refreshing starter, and from the dessert menu, Daniel’s Butter Cake is a standout sweet finish. The favorites keep me coming back, making repeat visits feel worthwhile despite the restaurant’s premium pricing. The quality is excellent, the service is great, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm with stunning views of the Olympic mountains, downtown Bellevue, and the Seattle skyline. Overall, Daniel’s Broiler is a go-to Bellevue steakhouse for those seeking classic cuts and indulgent desserts in a refined setting, especially if you enjoy filet variations and rich, flavorful dishes.

As a person of color I did not feel welcome. The host implied that I might be stealing orders from them when I already stated my name for the order and had uber eats open. The manager gave me the most glaring stare like, “what are you doing in here, boy?” Would not spend my money here again: $50 for some dry, overcooked beef…

Thoroughly impressed with this place! The patio has some really great views of Seattle which honestly really help the experience here. We didn't make a reservation so it was seat yourself in the bar area around 7 on Wednesday which was fine! We managed to snag a great table on the patio that was quiet and private and our waitress paid great attention to us which was awesome! I got the margarita to drink which was simple but effective. We also got some of the cheese curds to try as an appetizer which were quite delicious! For my entree, I got the strip with fries and we also got some other sides like the Mac and Cheese and asparagus which were also great. I loved that they asked us to cut open our steaks to make sure they were cooked to the temperature we wanted. Overall, I can't argue with good food and good vibes. We were here with work so price wasn't our big concern but I do think the prices were semi-reasonable. Is this an everyday restaurant? No but I think for a special occasion this would great. We can't forget dessert also! My espresso martini was stunning and the creme brulee and butter cake were delish! Overall, a delicious meal and I can't complain!

Good views, live music is great. A bit upset there are so many Mariner fans that they can't even get one TV at the bar to show NBA basketball, but I get it, local pride. Steak is good, they ask you to cut it to make sure the temperature is there. They use prime beef, I feel like the cut is not too generous, maybe 1 inch thick, so you don't get all the medium rare goodness that you might get from a thicker steak. They generously use butter so the steak is a bit drowned in it -- felt that prime cuts are good enough on their own. Mashed potatoes are very good and creamy, but yea a lot of butter. $108 spent with tip and tax and no drinks for a ribeye steak. Honestly not sure if it's worth it for that price.

Very amazing service! The food and space were so perfect and spectacular! Would definitely come again and recommend!

Came here with my husband because I was craving steak. I've been here before and had relatively good experiences. This time I can't say the service was that great. We had to ask for bread otherwise I don't think they would have brought it. Our server was not particularly attentive or friendly. Our steaks were slightly overcooked but we didn't feel good about having them re-made. Overall I still like this place.

I love coming here for celebrations, today was my birthday and I had a wonderful experience. I got the lavender martini, ribeye with mashed potato's and crispy brussel sprouts. Lavender martini was delicious and sweet! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was enough to share with my sister. Crispy brussel sprouts are a must and are perfectly crisp, sweet and a lil spicy everytime! The dessert was one of our favorites as well, the coconut ice cream is creamy and the glass has a thick layer of chocolate sauce & crispy coconut flakes covering the sides so every bite can have toppings. Our waiter took care of us well and has a lovely voice, he sang for me when giving me the dessert. The decor & 21st floor views are beautiful as well, and seating is very comfortable.

Tis the season, to celebrate a new year, with great friends! January is especially important, because it brings in new beginnings and perspective, in life! We were lucky to be able to celebrate our dear friend's birthday, at the beautiful Daniel's Broiler Prime Steak & Seafood ( @danielsbroiler ), in downtown Bellevue, WA. It's nice to be able to view the city, all lit up, atop the 21st floor! It felt like we were above the rain! It's so cozy, with top of the line service! We enjoyed scrumptious steaks and seafood, along with incredible appetizers and decadent desserts! This is why I've been going here for years! Their Bellevue location is my favorite! Happy Birthday Qween!!! We love you heaps!!! #DanielsBroiler #SteakandSeafood #Bellevue #Seattle #localfavorite #dinner #birthdaycelebration #dearfriends #supportlocal Instagram : @NelzLovesIt

I am in awwww of Daniel's Broiler. My in laws were coming to town for the weekend and we made reservations for Daniel's before going to see Tran-Siberian Orchestra. We have always wanted to try Daniel's Broiler. We went there and were pleasantly surprised with the attentiveness of the staff, we didn't have to ask for a refill , like EVER. There was someone right by our table , keeping an eye on us and refilling our water, without us needing to ask. I love the fact that when your food comes to your table, there are like a crew of staff who bring these little flashlights and shine them into your steak, when you cut into it, and they ask you if you are happy with the way it is cooked. If all is good, they leave, if you are not happy with it, they will take the meal back and remake it. Without hesitation. It's fairly quiet and you get a nice view of downtown Bellevue. We were so impressed, by the service, the amazing food and the overall experience, we decided to make reservations to Daniel's Broiler for Thanksgiving Day and we brought our kids . If you are in the Bellevue area and want some amazing food, make reservations to eat at Daniel's Broiler! You won't be disappointed, I promise. (Oh yeah and guess what? The bathrooms are so nice, clean and classy, I love the napkins or hand towels or whatever they are, in the restroom that have the Daniels broiler logo.)

The food here is sooo good! I have enjoyed everything I've tried there! The steak literally melts in your mouth! I enjoy my steak "blue" and it was amazing! The drinks are good too! Everyone is so nice and attentive! Be ready to spend some money though, it is totally worth it, in my opinion!

We go about once a month and usually in the lounge. Angie is our favorite waitress but overall the service is impeccable. Food is consistently good. I'm always full when I leave but never feel gross. Kudos to kitchen!!!

Server John was polite, cordial and attentive. Food expectations were, well, disappointing. Afilet mignon was ordered medium and arrived rare. But I would rather have undercooked than overcooked. It was taken back to cook a little longer. The steak was returned flipped over. Upon turning it over I saw why, it was well charred. The busboy removed my roll from the table and then asked, while walking away, "were you done with this?" I wasn't but I am now. I used to love coming here...

It's always a treat and delightful experience dining at Daniel's Broiler in Bellevue. The ambiance is beautiful especially if you make it there a little before sunset. The views are alluring as you see the rays hitting and illuminating the buildings in an orange glow all around you (definitely get window seating!) The service is always after the satisfaction of the guest and this time was no exception. Maria did a wonderful job in making sure our meals were perfect. Her smile was most hospitable and her care to detail was evident. Our dinner was excellent (as always) from filet mignon to the lamb chomps! It's an exquisite dining experience when visiting Daniels, the old world charm never ever gets old. Will return again, and again and again!

Note: This review is for the Private Dining section food of the restaurant. We attended a private party on a Saturday night with about 30 guests at the restaurant, and the Cascade Room was the perfect setting for the occasion. It had an intimate vibe without feeling cramped, and the large windows overlooking downtown Bellevue provided stunning views, especially on a clear night. The menu was preset, but we had some choices to make--soup or salad, protein, and dessert. Since it's a steakhouse, I went with the clam chowder (which was fantastic, and exactly what you want from a Pacific Northwest chowder), and my husband opted for the Caesar salad, which was fine but pretty basic. For the entrée, we both had the filet and a dessert sampler. While the filet was definitely a high-quality cut, it was under-seasoned and a bit too raw for the medium-rare we asked for. For that price, I expected it to be spot on. On the bright side, dessert was outstanding--honestly, I'd return just for that and a cup of coffee to finish the night.

I live this DB in the sky. My best tip for here is sit in the bar, no wait and full menu. The service is great. 4 stars because the food is overpriced and just OK, nothing spectacular. Vibe is boomer statehouse.

Good steak! My boys and I love steaks! My wife said her lamb was a little dried. Love the dessert and sparkling drink

I ordered UberEats from here and cannot stress how disgusting the food was. I think this is my first ever 1-star review on yelp. The "filet mignon steak fingers" entree cost $25 and came with literally less than a LeanCuisine amount of food. Like half of a LeanCuisine at best. See the picture -- this was after eating ONE piece of steak and TWO bites of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were hardly the size of my fist, and there were like 10-12 tiny cubes of steak in there. The sauce was way too salty and everything was drenched in it because there was so little actual food in the container (I'd say 75% of the container was empty -- and it's tiny to begin with!). Not to mention, the food tasted AWFUL. I am pretty sure the steak and whatever milk product they used in the mashed potatoes was rotten. Maybe that's why the sauce was so strong -- to cover up the fact that this food is SPOILED. Absolutely disgusting, please NEVER order food from here.

Went to Daniel's Broiler for our 31st anniversary this year. I've been there a couple of times before but hadn't ever written a review. Food: as always food is delicious! We started with the scallops w Sambuca butter on a crostini and the wedge salad which we shared. My hubby had the 16oz porterhouse which was incredible flavorful, delicious and rich. He added the full baker and a side of the crispy Brussels Sprouts. I had the Alaska Halibut which was prepared so perfectly. Slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There was a black bean and garbanzo bean hummus spread on the plate. The black bean hummus was a bit dry. And the artichoke salad was fresh, and crunchy. They brought us a complimentary dessert for our special celebration. My husband said it was very very very good. Coconut ice cream, topped with toasted coconut and a fresh layer of fudge in the glass w 2 chocolate curls. Service: Lyndsay (?) did a fabulous job. I have a lot of food allergies (don't come at me I still like to go out to eat). She was very knowledgeable about the menu and which items might have one of my allergens. What she wasn't sure about she went back and confirmed. I greatly appreciated that and had NO cross contamination as the kitchen and our server were very attentive and careful. Aside from her attention to my allergens she was friendly, good timing and was great at making recommendations. Also the maître d' wandered thru the restaurant. Very friendly up beat and dapper guy with a big smile. The only down side we arrived about 20 mins early. Traffic was light. But ended up waiting 30 mins to get seated. Folks came in after and got seated before so that was a little frustrating. I didn't see anyone leave before we were seated so wish they would have sat us closely after we arrived. No explanation and I had to ask if we were getting seated soon. Ambiance: we had a booth that faced the lake and was during early evening so we had a beautiful view. Talk about golden hour. Nice music playing and the restaurant always has a pleasant middy vibe. 4 stars due to wait and no follow up by host staff and the hummus was a little dry

Above-and-Beyond Service at Daniel's Broiler Last week, after a long stretch of travel and staying at the Hyatt, I was tired, homesick, and just wanted a good meal. I went to Daniel's Broiler, where Emilia was my server and Clark was the manager. Both made my evening exceptional. The food was delicious, but what truly impressed me happened after I left. I had purchased a pair of sunglasses earlier in the day and left them in the restaurant in a bag. I didn't realize it until after they had closed--and by that point, I had already flown back to Florida. When I called the restaurant on Monday, Clark told me that Emilia had found the bag and set it aside for safekeeping. Not only that, she even offered to go to the post office and mail it to me at no cost. That kind of thoughtfulness and follow-through is rare these days. I can't thank Emilia and Clark enough for going above and beyond. This is the kind of service that turns a good restaurant into a great one. Highly recommended!

We love going to Daniel's Broiler and sitting in the bar! The service staff is always so wonderful, and we have a great time. We got engaged in December and went to Daniel's right after to celebrate, and now we go celebrate all of our special occasions there. The food is great, and well worth the price. This location also has a great view, and the piano players are always so good.

One of the best steak house in Bellevue. Great location and d great view. My son requested his birthday dinner here. I get to enjoy as well. They have great steaks. Friendly staff.

I wish I could remember our servers name but she was really great. I am pregnant at the moment and she suggested I try this really good pomegranate mojito. Everything pictured was tasty. We tried the bacon wrapped scallops for the first time per her recommendation and loved it. The lobster mashed potato is a must, it's super creamy and flavorful. You'll get stuffed just from the sides/appetizers so the price is definitely worth it plus the view you get while dining in.

Popped in for a late dinner and we were seated in the speakeasy, the bar was loud and we didn't have a reservation. The speakeasy was a nice option and the views weren't spectacular because we overlooked a parking lot but we were 21 floors up! Service is good and friendly but we did have a bit of a wait for our food. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was massive, you can also tell the cut of beef was a higher quality. My partner got the crab legs with aioli and they were good- super fresh. She also got a seasonal salad, I imagine it was fine....i was too busy eating all the fries to bother with her salad.

Ordered the Daniel's Cut Filet Mignon medium rare. For the price I was expecting this to melt in my mouth. One of the worst steaks I've had. It had gristle (elastin) throughout where it made it very hard to chew and swallow. I had to spit out a lot of it because it's like chewing on a rubber band. The garlic mash potatoes were dry and the Caesar salad was lemony. The only good part was the server. She did an awesome job. I would not come back here again.

Ate there two weeks ago The brussels sprouts were out of this world my friend and I went into the bar and we sat at a table and there was music and we both had I had a hamburger she had a hamburger I have to admit it was super delicious I'm definitely gonna go back and the service was excellent

The atmosphere was beautiful. The food however was dated and prepared properly. I had the salmon and it was overcooked. The service was exceptional but the food was not worth the price.

The food was good, but not incredible. The experience was lack luster and overpriced.

This location is in a shared building with the Hyatt Regency and 13 Coins. There is valet or self parking. The restaurant does validate if you self park. If you are in the parking garage you will go to level 1 and head to the 2 banks of elevators to go up to Daniel's. The views from the bar and around the restaurant are beautiful especially on a clear day. We were a larger group of 8 so they put us in the board room which is a private room. It's nice and quiet and allowed for conversation to flow. The view from this view is more of downtown Bellevue. The waiter was great, he was personable, efficient and professional. We got several appetizers, I enjoyed the crab legs as they were already cracked so no work to be done. I split the filet trio and we each got a salad and side and it was the perfect amount of food. I really enjoyed the Caesar salad, the dressing was excellent. I thought the tomatoes with the wedge were too big for that salad. The Piedmontese filet was my favorite of the trio. It had the perfect flavor. The service, the views and the food are reasons to come back.

It's best to make a reservation, but even if you don't have one the food is WORTH the wait. Thursday night there was live music playing in the background -- views of Bellevue were gorgeous. It's my second time here in 18 months and everything is incredible, from the drinks to the service. And WOWWW the food is so good. Ahi tuna was phenomenal and the steaks were the best as always. I definitely recommend for a special occasion as it's pricey here.

I don't normally leave reviews, but I feel like this experience needs to be shared. During our visit to Daniel's Broiler, two meals arrived undercooked -- a ribeye and a king salmon. Sadly, I didn't realize the salmon was undercooked until after I took a bite and noticed that something was off. The server kindly offered to have both dishes cooked further (these things happen), the real concern came when I started eating the salmon after it returned. I noticed a thin white string that strongly resembled a parasite. I showed the server, they took it to the cooks for inspection, came back and said that if it were a parasite it would be moving. However, this is incorrect because if the salmon was previously frozen or cooked to its recommended temperature, the parasite would no longer be alive... I appreciate the server's friendliness and effort to make things right, but this completely ruined my appetite. Two out of three meals being undercooked at the same table makes you question how often this happens. I'm sharing this not to be harsh, but because I expected far better quality control from a restaurant of this caliber.

The views are lovely and the food is reliably good. Same Daniel's quality steaks at all the locations. Also, Daniel's has the best sides! Yum! The service is always excellent as well.

The food was delicious and cooked well. The service is also high quality and prompt. The overall ambience is fancy and this place is good for a date night or super formal meeting.

I've been patronizing Daniels for almost two decades. Usually Daniels is a nice experience - excellent food and service in a classy setting. I've not visited much over the past few years - normally only for a late-night dinner as the Seattle area seriously lacks options to dine after 8:45pm. Daniels has changed since COVID, however. And this change is with some of the primary waitstaff service. Last visits over 18 months, the waiters have been sloppy, inattentive and rough around the edges. Definitely service not consistent with the menu pricing. Sommelier and support staff has been fine. But for a $150/person dinner, I don't believe the overall service is where it needs to be. Other observation is that in all of my visits since COVID, the restaurant is below 50% capacity. This is for business lunches and dinners.

I really enjoyed myself. The price is up the service is on point. The quality of steak was not the best tenderness. Bellevue 21st floor

Came here only because we had a gift card. It's a beautifully modern place with welcoming staff. Ambiance is romantic-ish. We weren't very hungry and chose to try an appetizer and share a main dish. Prices are up there! We didn't dare order steak. Although I wonder if that would have tasted better since that's their specialty. GRILLED AHI TUNA-server took initiative (unwelcomed) to split it in half for us. I would have much more preferred to share off one plate so I could see the full presentation meant for this dish. It tasted awful. So much unnecessary pepper. The orzo was weird with strong feta flavor. Neither of us wanted to eat this dish. To my surprise, the server took it off our bill. Bacon wrapped scallops came out room temperature. The scallops are well cooked. They were served on top of toasted hard bread which was hard to eat together and just did not make any sense. The sauce had a strange flavor and after taste. However, I'll admit that my husband didn't mind it and finished this dish. Im a scallop snob. It's the dish I order at any fancy place. This was my least favorite scallop dish in over a decade. Disappointed in such a prestigious place to have food that was very unimpressive. Would not return.

I thought the ambiance was pretty with a great view of the surrounding area. My dinner was good as was my drink but if I'm being honest the SURPRISE 20% service charge I was required to pay ruined the experience. I did not see it in the menu (possibly overlooked) or was I told by my server. This is a sneaky business practice that needs to be changed and restaurants should be required to tell the customer upfront about these hidden costs. It's one thing to be paying for a meal on a personal card but now I have to explain to my company why I charged an asinine amount of money for my dinner on the company card.

We came here to celebrate a special birthday in our family, and many of us ordered the filet mignon and the ribeye, both of which were excellent and out of this world. We had a private room, and the service was absolutely incredible. Would love to come back here by myself sometime And try out the regular dining room. Thanks to Daniel's Broiler for making this an incredible experience overall.

Had the best dinner with experience at the Bellevue location! We arrived 20 minutes prior to our dinner reservations, so we grabbed a drink at the bar where they had a live pianoist playing some smooth music. Table was ready on time and seated by the window as requested in the reservation. Our server Ellen suggested the bacon wrapped scallops which were absolutely delicious. With our steak dinner, we ordered the cream corn Aldo suggested by her and that paired well and delicious as well! We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday in which he received a chocolate and coconut flake martini glass with ice cream AND that too was so delicious. Quality of the service, food and drinks was outstanding fung and made the celebration even better!

Sat in the lounge, the piano bar could be heard and was fun. We sat in the corner and the window view was nice. Service was really good for being a busy Friday night. We ordered the filet flight, shrimp cocktail app and wedge salad with filet. House old fashioned was good not great, the wine selection was the same. We enjoyed the dinner and atmosphere it was relaxing and fun.

- star one for prices that are over the top. It's a fine dining place but $78 for the bottom rung is a stretch, and $140 for top tier...I mean..come on now. That comes with a potato, if you want another side add ~15. Cocktails start at $18 so bring your cookie jar. But 4 stars on the rest - Pricing, great steaks, well cooked, attentive staff, selection, not materially different than a Flemings in terms of atmosphere but better than a Ruth's. I enjoyed my meal here, but doubt I would go on my own nickel. It's just too pricey in comparison to other also excellent options.

We went for Happy Hour last week. The Bloody Mary was amazing so was the prawn cocktails and ahi tuna.. they were all do. Enjoyed the personal service and the outstanding scenery of city of Bellevue from the 21 floor. Love the joint and will probably go try their dinner at my next visit.

Perfect night with the perfect food and people. We should've reserved an earlier time, closer to the sunset to get full experience but we were still able to get some of the city lights in on this 21st floor. Service was very fine. Waiter kept trying to upsale their food but we couldn't eat that much. We got their specialty drink of the night, bacon wrapped scallops, 30oz bone in ribeye, 16oz ribeye, and cheesecake. The drink was very sweet. Otherwise no comment on the rest of the food, it was incredible. Total came out to be $350 but we had a $200 gift card from a friend so we only actually paid $150. I would be happy to come back if that was what the meal was priced at but $350 is a little too much and so this might just be a place for special events.

We have been long-time fans of Daniel's Broiler and we've tried many high-end steak houses around the Seattle area and Daniel's Broiler continues to be our favorite. I usually order the same thing--filet mignon with fully loaded baked potato. The filet is always cooked to perfection and they make sure it is by you cutting into it with a flashlight on it. Great customer service. Last time we arrived on a Saturday night without a reservation and of course, they were booked but bar seating is open and there's lots of it. It was a little loud with the live piano and people signing for fun. So, we happened to notice the spirits lounge and asked about it. The Spirits Lounge is to the left of the bar, is quieter, more relaxed, but still serves the full menu. We sat in there and had a great experience. We shared a few apps, Caesar salad, drinks and the steaks. The hot fudge sundae with coconut ice cream and a fudge lined glass with toasted coconut is quite possibly the best dessert ever. The general dining room is kid friendly because it's noisier so if your kids are well-behaved it's totally fine. We've had a few big group dinners here and everyone leaves happy. We've also had Christmas Eve dinner at the Seattle one and had a great experience. Just book ahead if you know you want to go on a weekend or have a big group.

Great service, and steak. The drinks were good in general and the waiters were helpful and provided options. For starters I had the wedge salad which was tasty, but simple and small. The bread rolls were nice, warm, and fresh. The ribeye was the highlight, tasty and cooked to the right temperature, the side of mashed potato and broccoli was ordinary, but hit the spot. The salmon on the other hand had too much butter which overtook the flavor and it was maybe a bit too cooked. The crème brûlée and lemon bar were ok.

You can't beat the view atop the world here. Excellent food and service. The ribeye steak was to die for.

Fantastic food and extremely attentive service! Unfortunately, it comes at a price point that's a bit too high for my liking. I ordered the delmonico steak and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. The fried cheese curd appetizer and the butter cake were also great!

First things first. Our server was nice and did a great job. The food was also real good and the view was amazing. Still, we left a bit let down. When we made our reservation (on line), we were asked if it was a special occasion. We answered that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. When the hostess sat us, she asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and we told her it was our anniversary. A few minutes later, our server asked the same question. The meal ended without the anniversary ever being mentioned again. We didn't expect a free meal or anything, but after all the questions we thought we'd be seeing a complimentary dessert or perhaps a glass of bubbly. Nothing. (Although a couple across from us appeared to get a celebration dessert). Maybe we were forgotten or maybe they don't count same-sex marriages. Whatever the reason, it made the evening end on a blah note.

We went here for my daughter's 18th birthday. I absolutely love the service, food, and view. Several people checked on us and made sure everything was top notch. Our waiter, Sicily (I think), was very helpful and patient as we asked questions about the menu items. They gave my daughter a free ice cream dessert at the end. With all of that, the only negative point we have is the 20% automatic tip added to our bill. This was a frustration before we came into the restaurant so we were already prepared. Our party was only 3 people which if we had a larger group, I could understand this a little more. Our bill was over $400 and the automatic tip was $67.... our wonderful waiter didn't see any of it since corporate apparently keeps it all. That is truly unacceptable. Our hope is that Daniel's Broiler changes this policy as it only hurting their own employees. There is an option to tip above the 20% so your server sees some but this is crazy to us when we already are spending a high amount for our meal. Sadly, this will be the last time we eat at DB until we have the option to tip the amount we feel is fair and it goes to our waiter/waitress directly. There are other steak houses to choose from until then.

Wow! We had a private dinner here for our company New Year's party and everything was fantastic! Our servers were so professional I always felt like my glass was full and everyone was debonair and kind! I tried the 16 oz prime ribeye and it was cooked a perfect medium rare just like I ordered! I also tried the salmon with beurre blanc sauce and it tasted fantastic! No fishy flavor and pillow soft! I also had a few bites do the garlic chicken I and it was fantastic! I haven't been here in years but I already can't wait to come back!

Daniel's Broiler is on the 21st floor and over looks Lake Washington and downtown Bellevue. We did however need to close our blinds because the sun was super bright. I'm sure if you were here for sunset- likely a stunning view. Service was fantastic- starts right when you walk in with the hostess. Our server was knowledgeable about the steaks and their aging process, as well as the different cuts. We started with a cocktail, I tried the rose cocktail- delicious. We are at a time when cocktails are now the price of an appetizer- which is pretty disappointing. We shared the scallops wrapped in bacon, fantastic- really delicious. I ordered the "Flight of filet mignons"- I'm going to be honest that I did not notice the difference between the three- one was a house, one from Italy, the other was Wagyu. The creamed corn stole the show- top 10 sides I've ever tried. It was our 21st anniversary and our server brought us over a frozen fudge coconut dessert- it was great! Overall, great meal. I will admit I thought items were overpriced.

I have been here a few times and I don't have any complaints. I will say, before I say anything else, in my usual long winded way, that this isn't the place to come for flavors and fusions or anything like that. What you will get here is proteins, lightly seasoned, very traditionally prepared in the American style and cooked in correctly. Each protein, from seafood to white meat to red meat has been cooked right for me. So if you are not craving a flavor experience, but just a good stake, this is the place to go. That's not commonly my vibe, to be honest, but when I want simple, good, protein plates I know where to go. And the service is always good. I won't say exceptional, because I have eaten at many places, but good. Like I said at the beginning, no complaints. Located in downtown Bellevue in the Hyatt hotel, location is ideal with a great view of the city from the 21st floor. Free parking. Great atmosphere. Menu covers appetizers, soups and salads and proteins. They have a beef and other protein section. Their cocktail menu is a one pager but their wine and spirits list is a book. They are kid friendly. They have a kids menu and I noticed a kids changing table in the bathroom. Expect to pay like $100 per person if you are doing a drink, appetizer and an entree. For reference, my husband and I spent about $380 on the two of us for an appetizer, two entrees, four drinks and two desserts.
