Daniel's Broiler

We stopped by for a quick bite—something between lunch and dinner. John was an excellent server, the food arrived promptly, and everything was delicious. Our only complaint was the parking attendant, but that’s a separate issue. We would definitely return to this location. Note: If people actually go on the website beforehand, they would know there is a 20% service charge which I think all the servers fully deserve based on the service here.

This was my first experience at your establishment, and let me just say—it was amazing from beginning to end! The ladies at the front were so sweet, always smiling, and made me feel welcomed right away. Our waiter, Daniel, was not only hilarious but also super knowledgeable about the menu, sharing so many positive recommendations that made choosing a breeze. What impressed me the most was the entire staff's attentiveness. They paid close attention to every guest, ensuring everyone had a great experience. Now, let’s talk about the food—my steak was cooked to absolute perfection! It was juicy beyond imagination, a real testament to the incredible talent in the kitchen. Hats off to the cooks for such a memorable meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Five stars for sure! I can’t wait to come back.

Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Food was good, but not great in my opinion. The sea scallops were very good but the rib eye steak was average, rather underwhelming, especially for the price. Value— while a nice experience with good food and great service, the value for the money is not good at all. You can find a similar experience at much better prices at several restaurants in the metro Seattle/Eastside area.

We sat outside near the window giving us a very nice view. Our food was prepared perfectly making our meal as delicious as it looked. The waitress, Ally, was very attentive without being overly attentive and made excellent suggestions when we couldn’t decide. Everything about this meal and experience was perfect!!

When I think of Daniel's broiler, I lean toward a bit overpriced. Then I get there, talk with the wonderful staff, the food starts coming out and I remember what it is im buying. The best dishes, with the most incredible staff, are all worth it. From the lobster bisque to the calamari to the perfectly cut steaks to the great wine choices. It's all amazing, and if you're the indecisive type, the waitstaff are more than willing to answer questions and guide you to that perfect dish.

Celebrated our 32 year anniversary here and it was great. The steak was the best ,the waiter did a great job and the special dessert was amazing. Definitely coming back again.

Perfect ambiance overlooking Lake Union. We only had appetizers because the entrees were all over $80, but we were very satisfied with 4 appetizers for 2 of us. Favorite was the filet mignon steak strips in an incredible soy-sesame sauce. A close second was the bacon-wrapped scallops - full of flavor and with a rich sauce. The brussels sprouts were delicious and spicy, but not as good as those at Matadors. The artichoke hearts were ok but like most fried food the subtlety of their flavor was overpowered by generic fried food flavor, and the sauce was very mild. Great service - attentive and unobtrusive as you'd expect in a top-dollar place like this.

This is now my second time going to a highly rated steakhouse in Seattle, ordering medium, and getting an almost blue steak. I appreciate them asking us to cut in the middle, but it was disappointing to find it very rare. It had to be sent back after I took a bite to make sure. The seasoning also was bleh. Why should we pay so much for a piece of meat that is just alright? Do yourself a solid - order the seafood.

Daniel's has been on my list to explore for some time. The location stands out with the lively view of Lake Union and the piers with the many beautiful boats, and sunsetting sky (in colors) on a clear day/evening. What better day than Christmas Eve? I opted to park in the handicap spot and found that it's a pay by the 2 hour kind of parking lot. Please note, there's some complimentary Daniel's parking down below, so a short walk up an incline. This was aggressively brought to my attention right upon entry into the restaurant, rather than a hello, how are you, or other greeting. -0.5 For two, we were seated in a booth with a view of a table of 6, and the marina. It was great! The lighting was perfect as the sun set, the lights came up a touch but remained quite cozy. The service was quite stellar until the end, though a tad robotic from the main server. Felipe brought bread and still water - he was great! So kind and funny to chat with momentarily. Our main server was very straightforward and efficient. At the end, we felt rushed to leave and were given the leftovers very quickly with a quick "thank you for dining" and after informing us of the "tipping situation" was long gone, never to be seen from again. Kind of rude, given the overpriced food and low maintenance table. For the food - Appetizers: -popcorn shrimp came in a movie style box with foil. Charming!! It was undercooked, so a bit gummy. The sriracha sauce and lemon aioli were divinely fresh and homemade. Could have sent back but it was busy and slow to begin with. Instead of slow, I'd say relaxing. -ahí tuna was incredibly flavored by the grill and very tender and fresh! These are both happy hour specials so I'll be back to have this again in the bar. There's also a main ahi that looks similar so I would potentially try that if I return. Mains: -I tried the Piedmontese filet and it lacked the meaty forward flavor described to me. It was also quite undercooked (rare instead of medium rare). I normally wouldn't mind but it was kind of strange. It came with just a baked potato that was dry. I expected a piece of broccoli or asparagus. I went elsewhere for Christmas and did get just that but not trying to compare here. -My guest enjoyed the lamb and found it to be larger in portion than expected - until he realized it was very fatty. We all know how lamb can be, but I believe this one was on the fattier than usual side. It tasted great and came with mashed potatoes. +side of the creamed corn was good, not a standout but worked well with our dishes. Dessert: crème brûlée was a good size and good. Wine: roerder estate brut for $60 felt like a ripoff. Overall: felt like everything was a touch overpriced, service was good and helpful in understanding the menu for a first timer. Recommendations (lamb and ahi) were superb. Front desk could work on demeanor and outfit choices, one gal could barely breathe and just felt underdressed for the vibe this restaurant gives. Though beautiful, just not what I'd expect to see here. Will I return? Maybe for happy hour, or if someone invites me I would aim for a plate vs a steak. There are better steaks around town that are priced much more competitively than here.

A warning to all. Went there for Valentine's Day. We were seated in an area that had clearly been opportunistically converted from a banquet room to a room stuffed with small tables. It was so stuffed I felt like we were sitting with the people next to us. The tables were so small we couldn't open the menus without moving things around. I felt like a child at Thanksgiving who had to sit at the kids table. My wife was bumped in to three times before we discussed leaving or asking for a new table. We ended up asking for a new table as it was Valentine's Day and we knew there would nothing but fast food available that night. In short, the food was good, the service was so extremely watered down we felt abandoned , the ambiance was worse than a cafeteria while the price was the same (expensive), with a mandatory 20% tip. If you're going to flood your floor with extra tables do NOT expect your diners to happily paying full price for a discounted experience. Also, we parked in front, asked the staff if the spot was OK (I literally pointed out car out to them), they said it was perfectly fine where it was parked, and we came out after the bad dinner to a ticket. They said "sorry, it's Seattle and not us. I explained to the manager that the staff ok'd the specific spot and I got nothing! This was a $340 night that left us feeling taken advantage of, deceived, unappreciated and played.

I guess I don't understand the parking lot situation here. I parked, I couldn't get the site to accept payment and walked to restaurant. Then I was told it is often inoperable and if I should return and find a ticket on my car, I could bring the ticket back to the restaurant and they would handle it? That said, we got our meat on for a birthday celebration and things were fine. Temps were good and the food was solid. Staff could have been a bit more friendly, given we were there for a special occasion, but we were fine for the evening.

Enjoyed nice Dinner in front of lake union view , our waiter Daniel was Great & very Helpful

We went to Daniel's Broiler, after an afternoon on the water and it hit the spot. The restaurant was surprisingly crowded for a Monday evening but we got our table after a short wait at the bar. The service was quick and attentive. My steak was perfectly done and I thought that the server inviting me to cut into it to make sure it met my expectations was a nice touch. The sides were good but none really stood out. The only thing I found odd was how eager the staff seemed to clear the table. In a couple of instances, food that we were still working on disappeared. Overall, it was a great experience and I expect that we will be back.

Daniel's has been on the Seattle "To Do " list for over 20 years, so I won't leave a negative review I'll just do the neighborly thing and offer the gift of feedback. Service is mediocre at best and if I said the food was Hit or Miss- I would only be telling you a half truth. I was surprised to see the once Grande Dame of SLU has fallen so far behind her competitors, even cosmetically. #schwatzbrothers Please don't let this restaurant become just another part of Seattle's Past. Even the interior is exactly the same as 20 years ago. Heartbreaking

My husband and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and the hosts and waiter were all very sweet in wishing us a happy anniversary. Our waiter was Daniel and he was awesome! He gave us recommendations, let us take our time to order since it was our first time, and was very attentive to us. We ordered Cesar salads, Filet Mignon, Ribeye, and Broccoli! For dessert we got the chocolate decadence cake and banana pudding. The waiter offered us free coconut fudge sundae since it was our anniversary but we had our heart set on the other desserts. Holy smokes, it was so good. We were so stuffed and so happy! Only downsides were parking was confusing. But when you walk in they have a map. Problem is their parking lot fills up quick so be prepared to pay for parking. And unfortunately there was a loud party of 10 or so guys and they were really rowdy and loud but that's not exactly the restaurant's fault. Just drunken guys on a Saturday night.

This used to be *the* restaurant in Seattle, but now it feels more like an overpriced Applebees. Now, the food is still excellent, but the service leaves a bit to be desired. First of all, the parking situation is insufferable. Only about a quarter of the restaurant's own parking lot is actually complementary parking, the rest you have to pay for by the hour. It's not that the parking is expensive (about $6 for the duration of dinner), it's having to go through the nuclear launch sequence rigamarole of paying for parking on an app that no other parking service in the city uses. Seriously Daniel's...we drop hundreds of dollars on dinner, just fucking pay for our parking, or lump it in to our bill since you've already tacked on a 20% service charge (that apparently only 10% goes to your server, BTW). For a place that you're guaranteed to drop at least $300 on dinner, it's just bloody petty and damned inconvenient. Despite having a reservation for over a month on Valentine's weekend and the restaurant not being more than half full at the time, the hostess - who seemed like she could barely be bothered to do her job - seated us at the coldest, darkest table in the whole place. I'm not sure which steakhouse god we offended to get this treatment, but I don't understand what we did out the gate to warrant getting the dunce table, which she admitted was "hit or miss". WHY DOES A RESTAURANT OF THIS CALIBER EVEN HAVE A "HIT OR MISS" TABLE? If so many people don't like it, get rid of it! We requested to be moved and were, and the remainder of the evening went fine, but we hadn't even opened our menu before this place pissed us off so badly that we might never want to spend our money here again. Damn shame, but for how much you pay just to dine here, you'd expect to not be treated like this.

Daniel's offers remarkable steak and an impeccable dining experience. The ambience is high-end, and the service is top-notch. It's a wonderful place for a special occasions, and it's a lovely spot to take your favorite clients. I hope to visit again soon.

OMG First of all let me share this to start I had my wedding reception her and the experience was superb and amazing. The food was so delicious. We had choices of ribeye, lamb chops, salmon and chicken and I had the lobster tail. All were cooked to perfection! Well seasoned as well. The service was exceedingly great. Very patient professional friend and accommodating in all aspects. Our room was lovely, good set up, lovely soft music . All my guests raved and shared they enjoyed themselves and were so pleased!

It's been a while since my husband and I ate at Daniel's on Lake union. Parking was easy and free. The views are charming especially on a clear warm day. Our drinks were delicious and our appetizer of popcorn shrimp were mighty tasty. My husband ordered the seared ahi with fingerling potatoes and that was a light flavorful dish. He enjoyed it very much. However, my delmonico steak dressed with burre blanc sauce with crab meat and asparagus was not how I ordered it. It was well done. I had cut the meat in the middle and it was red but as I was talking to husband and tried to cut it it became well done. I'm not sure if they let the meat rest or not. The waitress mentioned that they had a new cook and since the cut has a bone in it, it's rather difficult to tell. So they made me another one. They also gave me a scoop of mango sorbet while I waited which was nice but by that time my husband had already finished his meal. The 2nd meat was still not medium rare but it was red and I was hungry. The meat was red and well in different areas. We did complain again and the reason I am giving them 2 stars is because they comp'd my meal and both our drinks and appetizer.

The food was great. service mediocre, nothing but coming to take the order and then someone else dropped off the food. I wouldn't say bad, but also not great. The Ambience was terrible. The table we were sat was too close to the other table and every time someone walked by they would have to ask me to move or they would bump up against me. We asked for another table and were moved, and that was better. Then, we got to our car and it was ticketed. We specifically asked prior to parking and were told that was fine to park there. This used to be a fine dining experience and the prices would indicate it still is, but this is not the service we were expecting.

I always leave here happy. Excellent service, delightful drinks, and delicious food. Great for a date. Also been here with friends and kids. A Seattle classic on Lake Union. There is a patio too; love the outdoor seating option.

My ex husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here on Friday night. Great location right on South Lake Union with plenty of parking (pro tip: if you park in a spot that has a sign that says "Reserved Daniel's Broiler", it's free). Interesting decor, but overall nice ambience. I was super impressed by the service, especially our server Molly! She was such a joy and made our dining experience a 10 out of 10! Food was lovely (get the mushrooms), but the bread was unfortunately underwhelming.

This place is a good special occasion place. The food is excellent and the service is superior. The parking situation is confusing and the pay by phone process different than most other parking lots. Leave extra time for this nonsense. The booths are good for two people or two adults and two kids. For four adults it is very crowded. So ask in advance to not be in a booth if you're a party of 4. Otherwise this place is a good place to go if you're not thinking about the price tag for your dinner.

Let's just start with the fact our bill was 800.00 plus tip for two people. I knew this was an expensive place which is fine but it should be an outstanding meal, and it was not. Our drinks included 2 glasses of wine and 3 cocktails. My daughter got the wagu steak and I got the bone in ribeye Oscar style. Pros: Nice booth for 2 Server was very nice Nice view Good bacon wrapped scallops Good Brussel sprouts Cons: The meat was oversalted. The Oscar sauce was seriously oversalted. The lobster mashed "upgrade" cost $18 each...I was expecting to see some lobster chunks Ok fine none but then they tasted bland. When the server brought out our steaks it was like she already knew they were undercooked and stood there saying cut them open to see if they are cooked right. Fine. Nope..on the raw side. She apologizes and returns with a Mgr who puts the new plates down in front of us asking we cut these open...it felt intimidating to day the least....not the experience we were hoping for. They were cooked right on the outside but inside they were overcooked. We gave up at that point. I relied on Open Tables 5 star reviews. I really wish I would have checked Yelp. This place would be good for cocktails and appetizers. Skip the steaks.

The view was amazing, the food was incredible, and the service was top notch. I've been on this spinny ball for awhile, and I can confidently say I had the best meal and best cocktail in my entire life at Daniel's. Do yourself a favor and get the cocktail with the floating flower. So good!!

The service was great up until the food arrived. We came here because it is a steakhouse! We ordered the A5 and it was $190. The first steak that arrived was not med-rare as we asked for, so we sent it back. But before taking it back, our server tried to convince us that for that particular steak, it was cooked fine; strike two. When the second steak arrived, it lacked flavor. We had to add salt and pepper to the steak. For $190, I should have it cooked my way and flavored so well that I don't have to add anything to it. We ended spending $600 here and let me tell you! Never coming back, I DO NOT recommend this business, and definitely would not be waited on by Daniel who tried to convince us we were wrong on meat temp. This is not a steakhouse, it is worse than outback. You want good A5, go to Cuerno Bravo in Tacoma!

Maybe this review will help their stars. Been to Daniels many times and it's extremely pricey but you know this going into it. So expect to drain your wallet! We ordered it all! From drinks to dinner. We pretty much rolled outta there cause we ate so much. We had a nice table overlooking the water. Can't go wrong with SLU views. The service was great as expected and nothing to complain about. The filet mignon was perfect and just the way I like it. The ahi tuna was the best dish and I want to say it out beat the steak for me. I'll go back and sit at the bar just for that dish. We also got salads but didn't get a picture. The Brussels sprouts were too sweet so that was the only complaint but everything else was a delight.

First time at this location and it was nice. Food is excellent as usual. Fliet mignon is my go to here and for dessert I tried the coconut ice cream and boy it was fantastic! Our three year old was with us and she loved their burger and fries. Didn't get a chance to take pictures :( but trust me and go first the first Daniels Broiler, you will not be disappointed. Service was great as well! Look forward to going back soon!

Where to begin??? No warm welcome from the two hostesses! The bar was empty (it was 6pm on a Friday, thought it would be a great spot, given a Friday night!) Pricing was insane!!! the martini was made incorrectly twice, the $25 4oz steak bites tasted like the inside of a dirty refrigerator and the brussel sprouts were drowning in a sweet pepper sauce, unsure of what I was actually eating as the sauce killed the vegetables! All of that for $75 and the automatic 20% was thrown on the bill! the bartender Mike, never pointed that out!! RUN from there!! Hang up and call another steak house! So sad!!! I had heard this was a staple in Seattle

Daniel's is always reliable...yes, it's expensive but it's a steakhouse with great seafood and drink selections. You'll enjoy the decor, service, ambiance, food, and drinks. The Lake Union location is ideal on a sunny evening to watch the seaplanes land; or for a winter night.

One of our favorite date night spots in Seattle. Never knew the dress code included casual which made out very convenient as we were out in town all day, really wanted to enjoy dinner here, but thought we'd be underdressed. The food from appetizers to steaks are always incredible. The drinks are even more incredible, but nothing beats the scenery. Will go here every time we're in the 206!!!

My family visited Danis Broiler last weekend for dad's birthday, everything was outstanding! From the moment we walked in and throughout our dining experience everyone made sure we got the best experience possible. Food was top notch as always! Thank you Daniel's Broiler staff for making my dad's birthday a memorable one

A classic fine dining spot! My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary and had a great time! We were seated with a view, as requested. We ordered the crab cakes and oysters for our appetizers, we both got the rib eye for our entree, the butter cake and espresso martini for dessert, and lastly, a glass of Pinot noir and their signature lavender martini. As much as this night was amazing, there is some feedback I need to say-- unfortunately. - when we have gone anywhere else for our anniversary, especially a place known for fine dining, we are normally greeted right away and left with a card or a "Happy Anniversary!" on one of the dessert plates. Sadly, we only got a "Happy anniversary?" and it was already after our appetizers were given to us. - the AC in there was blasting (keep in mind, it's December!) and our food got cold super fast. It made the steak less enjoyable and the marbling started to harden. - the cocktails were very weak-- almost like juice - our waitress checked on us maybe once throughout the whole dinner (2-3 hours) As much as the experience was still good, I don't think our experience was worth the price.

I was disgusted when I got the bill, and there was a 20% service charge automatically added on. Being a business owner myself, I wanted to know what the service charge was for . Most people would assume it would be a 20% tip for the server, but I didn't, so I asked. Our waitress informed me that only 10% of that 20 was her tip, and the other 10% went back to the company. Today, I called the manager, and I asked him specifically what the other 10% was for. He told me it was to pay for the "paid family leave" and "sick pay" that the state of Washington now forces all businesses to pay into. Not only is it obvious that they have raised their prices to cover higher cost they have a hidden expense that you are not told about that is automatically put on your bill that does not include the extra tip you need to tip your waitress unless you only want to tip her 10%. His remark to me was "they make enough money in tips" Of course they make enough money in tips because 30% of your bill is going to go for service fees and if you want to tip like the average person you're going to add another 10% if you notice what they're doing to make sure the waitress actually gets what's the lower rate of a tip of 20%. I will never go to another Schwartz brothers owned restaurant.

The location used to have a happy hour that was fun and a great value, we went recently for dinner and we're disappointed in the food, Caesar salad was not great, the Calamari was good, steaks were cooked nicely had a very charred exterior which to some degree is nice but I noticed more char than is pleasant. I would say that for the location it is nice for a special occasion if you can have your business or a wealthy friend take you but for me I would not go back. I prefer the steak at Red Cow if I want a classic steak experience. The food was good not great and for this price I Woolf expect great food. I would give the service high rating because the servers and host were very friendly and attentive, just lost stars for flavor and value.

Back in the day, Daniel's Broiler used to offer the best Happy Hour in town. A fine dining restaurant with upscale food for reasonable prices. Prawn cocktails, steak bites, bacon wrapped scallops, popcorn shrimp, fried artichokes...all spectacular! Plus the view can't be beat looking over South Lake Union while airplanes land on the water's surface and stand-up paddle boards paddle by. Returning five years later (post-COVID, of course), Daniel's no longer offers Happy Hour. Understandable. Yet the customer service has gone wayyy down. I went to make a reservation on OpenTable and only outdoor seating was available. We decided to just show up and Lesley at the hostess stand couldn't have been more unpleasant. While I know her job can be difficult and stressful being the "gatekeeper", she lacked tact and customer service. I showed her OpenTable not allowing reservations inside. She claimed that she isn't even seating customers outside but indoors was full from reservations--later I did see people on there outdoor patio. Initially she said she will see if a table for two is available, then without much time passing said she spoke to a manager and they won't have a table available for 3 hours (8 pm). Although they could have had staff call in, there were plenty of vacant tables visible. We decided it wasn't worth going back and forth and ended up sitting at the bar. The waiter wasn't extremely friendly or helpful. Thankfully we were familiar with the menu and ordered are "go tos." The manager walked past multiple times without checking in. From five years ago I had my Daniel's Broilers rewards card which has now gone electronic to an app and become attached to a phone number. Prior to moving I thankfully transferred my points into a gift card. We paid for our dinner using up our balance with no interest in returning after this experience.

Daniel's is the place to go when you need outstanding food, impeccable service, and great ambiance. It is an awesome venue to celebrate a special occasion. They have a great menu selection. I tried the Wagyu combination consisting of Japanese A-5 and American Snake River Farm filet mignon. Both 4 oz steaks were tender and very tasty. The bacon wrapped scallops were the best I've tasted. They were prepared to perfection. The food here is simply amazing. Expect to pay more for high quality food. Daniel's Broiler is one of the best steak houses in Seattle.

Everything was amazing. Steak is tender, Brussel sprouts and wonderful flavor with a little kick of heat

It was my first time here and I came with friends who used to visit here a lot in the "good 'ol days". The restaurant has a nice location on south lake union and the patio looks like it would be a great place to sit. We were told it's full, when we check in even though when we looked out there were only a full tables full at 4:30 in the afternoon. We came for drinks and appetizers. I ordered an $18 margarita and honestly this was one of the worst margaritas I've had in my life. Others in our group also commented their drinks were just average. For $18 you can get much better drinks in the city. For food we ordered calamari, steak strips and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail used 4 really large shrimp and had a tasty cocktail sauce. The steak strips were tasty but this is a VERY small appetizer for $30. The calamari is just below average - small portion and not a great taste. My biggest complaint with this restaurant is the 20% gratuity which is automatically added onto the bill. I don't love these auto-adds, but it is what it is. My biggest problem is the restaurant retains all of the tips and chooses to pay employees a salary instead. This shows in the quality of the restaurant service you receive. The employees are nice but you aren't getting the service you'd expect from a premium restaurant. I'm addition our server didn't mention the gratuity was included when she dropped off the bill. There are so many better restaurants in Seattle. Don't waste your time here.

3.5 if I could. 5/5 for service. I will say their service was exceptional - our waiter was friendly, attentive, fun to chat with and really took care of us. 3/5 for Food overall. I came here for my birthday dinner and I am a big fan of steaks. To start, I got the scallops wrapped in bacon. They were good. Then, I decided to splurge and get the top A5 Waygu steak. 4 oz. for $140. Definitely hurts the wallet but I thought if I was ever going to try it, I might as try it now. I was....not impressed. Was it good? Sure. It was tender and marbled perfectly and moist. Have I had better steak? I feel like I have. I would also not say it was worth the $140. Thankfully, my partner got the 12 oz filet so I was able to share some of his meal and I was able to get full. Again, that filet was just fine. We also got the brussels and was disappointed at how not crispy it was. For dessert, I got the deep dish chocolate chip cookie - which was just a chocolate chip cookie in a mini cast iron skillet. Comes with a small scoop of ice cream and a shot of milk. I mean, it was fine - it was a warmed up chocolate chip cookie. Nothing so special. I was pretty disappointed at the dessert menu and this was the only thing that remotely caught my eye. Since it was my birthday, they did give me two macarons in a little box to go. That was a nice touch. I think everything was good, just not great. And for the price point, I just expected much better food.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely date night here! The ambience is on point and seafood + waterside view is hard to beat. We enjoyed crafted cocktails, oysters, and king crab legs. This place feels like it was made for romance! The staff are all very eager to greet you with a smile and five star service. Which is to be expected, since it's an expensive dinner. But we don't mind paying the extra bit for the experience. It just means we'll go here as a treat rather than for a casual dinner.

Not sure about their other locations, but for this one I would say it's environment over food. Seafood is good (and service is fantastic) but I would have a pretty high expectation because of the price tag. The fish was a bit dry, and the veggies on the side way too salty. View is great, though!

The service was not great. We arrived 15 mins early and they told us we had to wait even though 2/3 of the restaurant was empty. We were the only group waiting in the foyer...after 20 mins someone came by and took us to a table. After being seated we waited over 10 mins until finally someone came by with water. Another ten minutes before our waiter arrived. No acknowledgement by the waiter but the water server kept apologizing. The food was good, but for a $200/person evening it didn't leave any of us with a lasting impression. Too bad. This used to be a standout. I'd recommend trying elsewhere from now on, as the overall value does not appear to be there like it was in the past.

Went here for our anniversary cause we've been here before and it was delich. Off the bat, one of my pet peeves at restaurants is waiting even though we had a reservation. It was only 5 minutes but still. Food is good but if you were looking at the prices you'd think you would be eating at Canlis. I've been to many steak houses in seattle for way cheaper so not sure if this is just for the view or what. Also if I pay 20 for one cocktail it better be banging. Our server Jose was awesome. If you're eating for two expect to pay 200-300.

We were here out of town, and this place was recommended for my husband's birthday. The service and food was amazing . The views from the patio beautiful! The dessert was almost gone when we remembered to take a pic. It tasted like a girl scouts "Samoa cookie" Not even sure what it is called.

This remains my favorite steakhouse of this area. Yes, I have been to pretty much everyone in Seattle downtown area and I am a steak lover. Why would any steak lover go to a steakhouse instead of just cooking them themselves? After all, you can get pretty much the same food experience for less than half of the price. I routinely spent over $100 per person at steakhouses, and much much less at home. My steaks and wines are no less, mind you. The answer is generally the side dishes, the ambience, and other entree choices. Surprising, what I used to think aged meat was the reason, no longer. You can season your own meat for 24 hours and get pretty much the same effect. Otherwise, there are now places to buy dry aged meats. We had Brussel sprouts and calamari, both excellent. Steaks were perfect, but we expected that. I really like the slightly charred smoky aroma and tender center. They pre-cut the steaks for us to share. Extra point, the George Town beer selections were excellent. Of course, you got to try their cocktails, particularly bourbon-based ones. Alas, we did not have the capacity for desserts. Combining all, Daniel's Broiler is worth that money.

Huge let down. Way over priced for super mediocre food. Super disappointed. Daniel's need to take a hard look at everything they do and revamp their model. Scallops were like rubber. Steak was pink in the middle with brown edges. Potatoes were cold and lacked flavor and the brussel sprouts were cold too. For the prices they charge they ought to be outstanding. Oh and be prepared to be charged a 20% service charge. That is their versions of the tip that rewards mediocre service. If you're looking to spend a lot of money and want great food go to John Howie. Honestly I would take a steak from Denny's over this place. So so disappointed with the entire experience!

We've come here a couple of times. It is always busy. We waited some minutes this time too. We didn't have a reservation. I was amazed this time it wasn't that crowdy. They put us at the end in the same floor but it was divided with glass. I think this was marvelous because it felt quieter and intimate. They had booths and tables near the windows. Perfect view to the Lake. Service was very nice. Always busy but friendly. We went there for a drink and ended up with various appetizers, meal, and more drinks. Just had yo wait a bit yo get our order ready. We had the ahi tuna which was good, shrimp was big but a bit spicy for me, chicken and fries, but the best were the Rockefeller!! Very very tasty! I had to wait a but because they were very hot. We also had the cheesecake and the peach cake. Let me tell you, I was expecting kind of a cobbler. I was a little disappointed when it arrived but it turned to be very good! It only had 2 slices of peach bit the vanilla cake had some kind of caramel inside. Amazing. Sweet but didn't care. I could really feel the vanilla. Worth it. Irish coffee was a bit liquidy for me but their cocktails are fantastic!! I liked better the bourbon one than the other with pineapple. But everything was delicious!

I ordered delivery, specifically the Fried Calamari and the Filet Mignon Steak Strips. The Fried Calamari was ok--though a bit greasy. The Filet Mignon Steak Strips were so poor--in quality, but especially in quantity. They were not 'strips', they were 'chunks' and there were 10 meager pieces...so small! We took a pic of them, but apparently cannot upload it here. We wouldn't have paid $5 for them, much less $25! And one was all gristle. We've ordered this exact food from them before and each time it's gotten worse. NEVER AGAIN!!

I think we easily could have gotten the same quality food at several other Seattle restaurants at half the cost Nothing was spectacular which is what I expected (spectacular food) at the prices they charge Update: the next night we went to a famous seafood place down the street and had a better dining experience at HALF the cost!!!!

Daniel's Broilers is an upscale steakhouse located on Eastlake with a nice view on the water way. This site is great for a date if you want to bring that special someone with the intention of impressing them. The service was on point and the wait staff made sure all of our needs was quickly attended to. The food was delicious and the meats was cooked to our preference! The price is definitely high, so be prepared to bruise that wallet!

Daniels is a great steakhouse that broil sear their steaks and finish it at the right temperature for the customer. If you like a great smokey taste with your steak this is the place! The seating is really nice and overlooks lake unions. Ask for the view! Overall this was a great experience. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for which is notch service! I would definitely recommend and will be back.

Deciding not to travel for my birthday due to COVID and craving lamb, I was pleased to find Daniel's Broiler offered it and found it was a perfect chance to try Daniel's Broiler. Their Australian grilled lamb comes with 3 huge lamb chops (which are essentially 6 mini chops combined at other places). The only thing heftier than the lamb is the price ($60), but in my opinion it's worth the price tag with how big the cuts are and how much meat you get. The garlic mashed potatoes that accompany the dish perfectly balances how rich the lamb is. The red pepper jelly was interesting, not overly sweet or spicy. To this day my taste buds are trying to determine if I liked it or leaning towards 'meh'. For the price of the lamb, I do wish there was some sort of veggie side as well included. To make up for this, I went with the crispy brussels sprouts (okay, confession, they had me at bacon). While tasty, for $14 I wish they gave you some more. The amount received would have made sense for a Happy Hour price. Because of this, I'm deducting one star. Overall, I'm pleased with Daniel's Broiler and will definitely return for their lamb and for some of the other items on their menu. They do offer takeout and are available on some of the delivery apps.

This is another shot that have never disappointed me. Let it be in Seattle, Bellevue, Leschi. All locations had exceeded my expectation. I have spent many birthdays, graduation parties, countless happy hours and dinner dates and always leave with great memories. Now recently we spent mothers day here. We luckily got a table on the busiest day of the year. The view of the water is just superb. The service is always top notched and the food is always on point. The service is always pleasant and they know how to make your experience much better than the last. A great happy hour spot as well. Cannot wait to spend more time here.

Eager to go out for a date night we made a reservation for the patio seating here for a nice SLU sunset view. Unfortunately the evening we decided to do this was the same evening a gaggle of older ladies from NJ also happened to be here and it highlighted just how bad the accoustics are in the outside dining area of this DB location. The three of them created such cacophony that we could not hear each other across the table. Aside from how loud it was it was also very cold on the patio so if you choose to dine outside, bring a blanket and wear warm clothes! Our server himself was a little hard of hearing so coupled with the loud table behind us we had to yell back and forth just to hear each other in close proximity - it was jarring and unpleasant to say the least! We complained that the table nearby was really loud and he lamented he felt the same but did not offer to move us to another table or inside. I figured they were all full up inside and there were no other options. On top of the grating environment the service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant appeared to be. The loud ladies behind us had a female server who was super attentive and their meal moved along quicker than ours. The food here was very good so that should not be overlooked. I love the bbq shrimp and the food was everything we had hoped for. As we were leaving I was surprised how empty it was inside. Had I known there was seating available inside I would much rather have enjoyed our meal inside where it was quiet and warm. For the luxury cost you pay plus the required 20% service/gratuity this experience didn't quite meet my expectations. Our bill was $140+ and it just wasn't a pleasant meal - it certainly didn't feel like it was worth it.

We visited this place on a Sunday afternoon. There is self-parking at the restaurant and once inside, we were seated immediately. Ask for a seat in the back since the view of South Lake Union there is spectacular on a sunny day. However, this place has really increased their prices since the pandemic. There are no more happy hours and any steak entrée can easily be over $100. In terms of taste, it is 3.5 stars. Therefore, considering the price, it is not good value. In summary, if you are looking for good food, you can find cheaper options elsewhere. If you're looking for a good view paired with great service, then this is a viable option.

Excellent service but the food was disappointing. The filet mignon was charred and tasted like a burnt piece of meat. The pork was good but the sauce was so salty that it was uneatable.
