    Everything was, in the words of my friend Goldilocks, just right—classy without trying too hard. attentive and friendly service without being overbearing. The steak lunch was everything I like—perfectly tender, juicy, and cooked exactly how I like it along with some duck fat fries and starting with a creamy clam chowder that hit the spot. Definitely coming back for another lunch soon.

    We booked Daniel’s to celebrate our son’s 22nd birthday. It did not disappoint. We had a wonderful evening. Our server Nicole was so kind, funny and made our evening special. The manager, also came by at some point and spoke to us awhile and even shared some funny Husky/Cougar jokes with us. I’m sorry we didn’t catch his name but he was also very pleasant. The food was delicious from the, bacon wrapped scallion appetizers, to the clam chowder, and Caesar salads. For our main meals we had the Filet Mignon Oscar style and rib eyes one with. Lue cheese topping the other plain with mashed potatoes. Drinks were also on point as well as the after dinner drink we had with a wonderful complimentary birthday coconut ice cream dessert. 100% would recommend Daniel’s for any occasion!
