    Great entrees - Steak Diane and Poseidon adventure. Tried deep fried artichoke appetizer it was good. Chocolate mouse cake delicious. Small dining area and darker interior. Unfortunately, our table too close to kitchen door and its noises and light.

    Our watress Misty was great. Very friendly and good with letting us know the specials and items we couldn't get. The food was excellent. Steaks were done perfectly. Food portions are large and no one would ever leave hungry. If we are ever in the area, we will be coming back.

    Staff are nice. Food was good, but not great. Steaks were overcooked but still edible and tasted good. One steak ordered medium-rare came out medium and another steak ordered medium-well came out well done. Wine list has some great wines at fair prices.

    We wanted to take another couple out to help show them how much we appreciate them and what they do so we wanted an extra nice location. I kept reading reviews here for Daniella's Steakhouse and decided to try it. We had never been there before. Attached to the Best Western near the NYS Fairgrounds you might just drive by and miss it. When we went in it was a much smaller location than I envisioned. That said, I ended up thinking it was the perfect place. Small and intimate setting with a beautiful interior. I loved the rich dark wood and layout. We were quickly and warmly greeted when we entered and shown to our table. Our server Kim was right there and ready to help us with the menu. Appetizers chosen were French Onion Soup and Poutine. Entrees were Chicken Riggies, Chicken Milanese, scallops, and Poseidon's Adventure - two 4oz filet with scallop and shrimp with a lobster sauce. Every single dish was perfect. Seasoned perfectly, piping hot and right on time and so plentiful I did not finish it all. We also decided to have coffee and dessert so we could sit and continue to enjoy our evening together. Kim listed them all but said her favorite was the almond butter cake with ice cream. I didn't think the meal could get better, but this dessert was perfect. Sweet but not too sweet, warm, and creamy. They definitely lived up to all the reviews I read here and look forward to going back again. Service was perfect, setting was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Then to top it off I receive a call from the owner Charlie Roman today to ask if we enjoyed our visit. He should be proud of his business and all his staff. This is five-star dining at its best.

    For a CAB Prime sirloin the steak had a lot more grizzle than it should but otherwise was cooked to perfection. Our server was outstanding and the owner took time to visit with us and thank us for having dinner at his restaurant. We will be back!

    our food was excellent especially my filet. BUT i was turned off from the beginning our waiter smelled of smoke, like he just got in from a smoke break. Disgusting also our waiter was the slowest one there. he was more concerned with helping the take out orders. We were one of the first sat but last served. Service was poor to say the least

    Daniella’s has been on our list of restaurants to try in our area. I made reservations for Saturday night and our experience could not have been any better. We were seated promptly, our server Misty was fantastic. Our appetizer and meals were outstanding. Charlie came by our table to check on us a couple and times and today he called me thanking us for dining with them. Who does that? We are so impressed. Absolutely will be returning to Daniella’s very soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    Only issue I had with daniella's is their drinks. Big wine list. I asked for a drink list and was given a liston their various alcohol brands. They have a full bar and can make anything you want. I'm not a mixologist and don't want to use my imagination to order something. One other thing. I went here specifically to get prime rib. Of course the "lat" one was ordered right before I placed my order. Outside of those things it was excellent

    Food and service were excellent, but tables were very close together, and the lighting (or lack thereof) required a light to be able to read the menu. A troubling thing is that when I received the check there was a nearly 4% "credit card adjustment" that was a total surprise. I'd say most people eating at a restaurant such as Daniella's where the meals are not inexpensive are most likely to use a credit card rather than forking over $150 or thereabouts in cash, so I'd say this is basically a money grab, which I don't appreciate. I've dined at high end restaurants in other states (and NY as well), spent over $200 for dinner and never been charged a fee like this. I can't say it's a deal breaker, but I'll seriously consider it before I dine there again. It's pretty sad when the food and service can be negated by an unethical charge which isn't necessary.

    Can’t say enough good about Daniella’s. Grateful it’s around. In a world of Chain Restaurants it’s wonderful to have a privately owned and operated restaurant that truly has that neighborhood feel. The staff is top notch!!! Friendly, polite, professional! We have dined there many times through the years and I hope we have many more years to enjoy it!!!

    As soon as we walked in and sat down Daniella's took us back to our younger years when our parents would take us to those local "old time" steakhouses with great food and service. Reminiscent of the wonderful Chicago and New York steakhouses we have enjoyed. The ribeye steaks and chicken cacciatore were great as were the sides, desserts and of course the service. The "icing on the cake" was the next day when the owner called to be sure we had enjoyed our meal and time there. Great customer service at a level you don't always find these days. We will be back!!
