We went to Daniel's Broiler for a romantic celebratory dinner. My husband had the bone-in (tomahawk) ribeye with baked potato and I had the 8 oz Filet Mignon with garlic mashed potatoes. As always, the steaks were amazing...smoky, crusty, tender. My filet was just a bit underdone in the middle and they took it back to fix it. We also had a side of the crispy brussel spouts which were sweet, spicy, and savory. My husband has the Whiskey Old Fashioned which was one of the best he's had. It's always extremely expensive, but a worthwhile treat. We will be back, but only for special occasions.

We had a pleasant experience having breakfast. The server was polite and friendly. We enjoyed the food and did not mined the high price to have a quality food. However we were surprised by an extra culinary charge! There should have been an explanation of this frivolous charge.

We went on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, we liked everything we ordered. Even the frite dipping sauce was amazing. Service was friendly and prompt. We ended up not sitting outside, but if you do, it seemed pretty chilly out there.
