    The service and food were fantastic - fried oysters were excellent and the bolognese was also quite good. The room is very attractive but the noise level can get a little boisterous especially with a few large groups in the room.

    A friend recommended Daniel George for lunch, so we made a reservation for my husband's birthday. It was a great decision. Although parking was a bit of a challenge, a short walk was fine on a beautiful day. They seated us in a quiet area and we were well served. There were enough food options but not an overwhelming menu. We both had the hamburger steak with onions and 2 sides, for around $15! The lava cake with a candle was the right touch for the birthday. The decor of the restaurant was light and friendly. I'd like to come back in the evening with friends, but would definitely do lunch again.

    A great trip to DG. It is on the expensive side, but the service was excellent -- great teamwork by the staff. We were glad that we got there early. Above, I have recorded the noise level as moderate. A more complete description would be that it was quiet when we arrived, but was starting to get too noisy for quiet conversation by the time we left (which was probably around 7:30 PM). So: early if you want a quiet atmosphere, and later if you want something more lively.

    My wife and I are highly disposed to enjoy our visits to DG. We have many fond memories there (post-engagement supper, learning we were expecting our first child, etc.), and we went to celebrate her birthday. With the need for a babysitter, we don't get out nearly so often so this was intended to be a nice surprise for her. Our experience was -- fine. The food was very good, but the waiter was arguable brusque, certainly removed. It wasn't what we expected. We had to leave sooner than expected, but I had the impression that was just fine with Daniel George. Maybe once we're both in our 60s--and if we buy 2 bottles of wine--we would get the service that we remember fondly from when we lived nearby.

    Daniel George is a great restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed dinner with my friends. We had an early reservation. I had a slight sense of being hurried. Also, my entree was not as hot as I would have liked it. Next time I will make plans more in advance and get a later reservation.

    We went on Valentine’s Day, so maybe it wasn’t the best night to judge, but was underwhelmed with the food for what it was. The appetizer was fairly good, entree was just ok, and dessert was not good. Felt overpriced.

    Although I made a reservation we were seated in the bar. Our waiter was very inexperienced and kept laughing and looking around. The service was slow, our waiter never checked back with us to see if we needed anything and our food and drinks were not served together. When we did request another drink, it took forever. Our food was very mediocre to be generous. I don’t believe anyone at our table enjoyed their meal. We took ours home for the dog. It was extremely disappointing and we will not be returning. It should be noted that we have eaten here a number of times. Definitely not worth the price or our time

    Table was next to kitchen door and was freezing every time it opened. Table next to ours was 4 women who must have been hard of hearing (or they wanted to be heard outside). Wait staff was pleasant but hard to get her attention. My date was under impressed for how expensive the meal was. However, the food and drink were excellent!
