    We had a nice time at Daniel’s, and I think it’s a solid steakhouse with a prime location on Lake Union. Food was good, but price didn’t quite compare to the level you pay. Service was excellent. This is a Good steakhouse, but I wouldn’t say it’s a Great steakhouse. Overall a good experience

    I have some uncommon allergies and emailed them the day beforhand. Their ingredients are so clean that I was able to eat every dish for which I had inquired. I brought my work team here for lunch, there was five of us. We ate family style and enjoyed six different dishes. The food was all delicious, the weight staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. This was the perfect option and probably about my eighth time visiting. I will be back again

    Fogo de Chão is one of my favorite restaurants because every time I go, it feels like a little trip to Brazil. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing experience I’ve had so far. The location felt small and cramped compared to others, and I was surprised to see only two Brazilian staff members—neither of whom was my server. Early on, it was frustrating to see several staff members sitting in booths on their phones while service lagged. That said, the meat was great, the fruit was fresh, and the salad bar exceeded expectations. I was especially happy to see cooked mozzarella on skewers and feijoada offered—both of which added a nice touch of authenticity. The limonada was refreshing, though the caipirinha was unfortunately watered down. This visit won’t stop me from going again, but it will make me think twice about visiting this location.

    I had a great celebratory meal here for five people. The food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly and confessional. I highly recommend the restaurant overall, and specifically the roasted cauliflower and hearth bread. The pizzas were super yummy as well.

    Great service and food during our visit for Sunday brunch - I forget our server's name but he was a skinny guy with longer curly hair. He was great. Food was fabulous, and the drinks weren't too pricey for what they were
