Daniel's Broiler - Lake Union

We were greeted at the front door and seated promptly at a lovely window table.

Maria was our waitstaff and performed wonderfully by first offering a starter and drink. She was knowledgeable about the options available in the wine and drinks - we started with the 10 year old Whistling Pig Rye in a Manhattan. My husband had the classic Caesar salad while I had the beet, arugula with goat cheese salad - Yum! Dinner was the grass fed filet mignon with broccolini followed by the peach slices with a cupcake size butter cake and just the right amount of vanilla ice cream to share.

Our water was replenished frequently with dishes whisked away as needed.

Jen stopped by our table to check on our dining experience. We chatted. We found her delightful, warm and friendly. Enjoy the Dervish in concert!

For our date night, the dining at Daniel’s was perfect! We will come back another time.

Too expensive for the food quality offered. Staff shows a not so welcoming attitude towards foreign people who speak with an accent, who don’t dress stylish.

The only issue we had was how long it took for our check to be rung, otherwise everything was outstanding. Very impressed with the waiters menu knowledge and recommendations. The drinks were a perfect combination of sweet and tart. I loved the view from the windows as well.

It was very expensive. My 8oz Filet mignon wasn’t very flavorful or tender. My son had the Delmonico & it was good but not worth the amount paid. The last time we came 3 Yrs ago it was better. I wish for the amount it had been phenomenal. The upside I had a great evening & conversation with my son.

It was awesome!

after arriving 10 minutes early we were seated 15 minutes later then our reservation. and then we were seated in a heavy traffic area for the wait staff.

For the price, I could have been made happier with better seating location, and more punctual seating.

It was nice to sit by the fireside, table wasn’t ready even though I made reservations through here, but was able to get photos taken with my daughters. Didn’t like the fact all parking was Vallet.

Great place for fantastic food and great atmosphere>

We had the filet mignon, lobster, and prime rib. The filet mignon had a little burnt flavor but was raw in the middle. The lobster tasted good and was quite large. The prime rib was also too rare but had a good flavor.

The mandatory 20% on top of their hiked prices made a minimal meal expense of $120 per person seems quite overpriced. Service was fine. Value has gone down for the prices they charge +20%. Won't be going back where I don't have a say in the tip and$60 for a piece of salmon and $75 for a small steak.

Service was poor- it took over an hour between being served an appetizer and main course. Numerous excuses about a mistake in the kitchen but no explanation. Steak was overpriced an unremarkable in seasoning and flavor.

Superb service and quality of food. Servers were super attentive without being intrusive. It was a great experience, and we highly recommend Daniel's Broiler!

An excellent meal at an excellent location. The views were especially good since the rains stopped. My wife enjoyed the king crab and she thoroughly enjoyed it. My filet (Piedmontese) was one of the most tender I have ever enjoyed, and, I normally have 2 a week at various places. Highly recommend.

Came here for a belated Valentine’s Day dinner. Pretty much what you would expect from a high end steak house. Ambience was a bit old fashioned and stuffy, not really our style, but my partner wanted a good steak, which she got. Service was great, lovely views of the boats on the lake and all the food was very good. But expensive. Cocktails were so-so, wine was very good.

Service was great but we were placed one foot away from the other tables beside us. It was so close I could not talk to my husband because it felt like everyone could hear our conversation and I didn’t want to disturb other customers.

Went on a date here for Valentine's Day, and food and service was amazing! A little pricey, but well worth it in the end. Highly recommend!

Honestly as a seattle native this is sad.
I grew up with Daniels as a staple but the overall cost for what you get was shocking!
Beyond over priced for what you get.
Not to mention they sat us at a table that our legs were unable to fit under. No joke I’m 5’10” slender female and I’m the one that asked to be moved. We then watched them sit countless couples at these short tables - all also struggling.
Two steaks and a bottle of wine 400 dollars. Nothing that QFC wine dept and Costco steak couldn’t solve for 50 dollars. On top of that our reservation was 30 mins late.
That being said the service staff was kind and great. Clearly over extended...

Service was good, steaks and mashed potatoes were delicious. There was no background music like some other steak houses have. Live piano music goes a long way with ambiance.

Food and service were great for Valentine’s Day. The parking situation is much to be improved upon. There is paid parking lot but the parking app doesn’t work for the lot and there isn’t any other way to pay, which results in being forced to use valet or park far away. The table we received was very small in size and in height.

A beautiful view ialways enhances the experience of a nice restaurant and Daniel's Broiler on Lake Union does not disappoint in that category, or any other. The food was exceptional quality, perfectly prepared and exquisitely displayed. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find we could carry on a conversation without having to raise our voice at any time. From appetizer to desert the staff showed attention to details without interfering in the romantic experience we had hoped for on Valentine's Day.

Ran out of prime rib and rib eye.....

I was not especially impressed with my meal of sea bass. The Caesar salad was good and my husband liked his lamb chops. Overall overpriced.

This was our first visit to Daniel's Broiler but have heard advertising of how special the food and service are. The service we experienced was as good as advertised. We were greeted warmly at the start including an explanation of the meat and seafood choices. Our server Savannah was friendly and did an outstanding job with our menu selections and making our anniversary celebration special.

Great spot for a birthday or anniversary celebration. Food is high quality and service is good.

OVERPRICED food, nothing special or superior, usual taste for double price

It was good, the added 20% and I felt I was expected to tip more ($20) plus $12 parking and $5 tip to the valet, the experience was overpriced.

We love to go to Daniel's for special occasions and we always to ask for Maria if she is working, she takes great care of us.

We enjoyed Daniel's and we go quite often for drinks/happy hour. This is a review of dinner. We ended up each having a martini in the bar while waiting for our table. Once seated, we each had a glass of sparkling rosé. We ordered oysters on the half shell to start, which were small but good. For dinner, we decided to split the New York steak (ordered medium rare) Oscar style. We also got 2 glasses of cab. Throughout the whole ordering process, we felt as though we were trying to be overly up-sold, even confirming a different, more expensive steak than we asked for. Once the steak came, it was ok, but definitely did not live up to our standards. It wasn't as tender as you would expect and my fiancé had a couple shells in her crab. When it was all said and done, the total bill was almost $300, including the automatic 20%. We don't have a problem spending that much, but felt that it was not a good value. I recently went to Butcher's Table and felt the quality was far superior for a similar cost. We will return to Daniel's for drinks in the bar, but we will not be going back for dinner.

Ordered the Daniels cut filet mignon and it was quite the disappointment. Lacked flavor and my medium rare was near medium well around the edges. Our waitress was outstanding!

Excellent service, awesome food! Definitely expensive but totally worth it on a special occasion.

The amazing service made the delicious food taste even better.

Service wasn’t great considering they automatically charge 20% to your check.

Excellent service from start to finish. Delicious food, best scallops I’ve ever had and the wagyu steak absolutely perfect.

Beautiful place, outstanding service, great food, the staff really make you feel like a VIP.

I love Daniel’s and have gone many times over the years. We went on Sunday night 1-26-2020 to the South Lake Union location to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and sadly for whatever reasons things were not good. The service was extremely slow, and our server was good and did her best When things are mediocre and there is an automatic 20 percent tip, you are tipping for poor execution and that is not the way it should be. We ordered appetizers and they came quickly. We waited about 10 minutes after the appetizer plates were cleared to place out dinner order. It was another 35-40 minutes before the dinner arrive. During the wait, the man at the next table called the hostess over and I heard him tell her (as did everyone in the restaurant) that they had waited 45 minutes for a Salad and a piece of chicken. I ordered my steak Medium Rare and when I was asked to check it, it was medium and I did not want to wait again to get the steak properly cooked, so I said it was fine. The steak had sat in the window as it was not sizzling hot. Food to me was not up to Daniels’s standards it left me disappointed. It will probably be a while before I return.

Wonderful evening with spent with good friends.

As always, our evening at Daniels on Lake Union was marvelous. Though it is pricey, we indulge ourselves for any special occasion.

Decent food but heard different servers telling different customers about the 20 %
service charge automatically charged to bills. Some said the restaurant didn’t share a portion with the server. Some said a portion went to them And the balance went to restaurant so not sure how I feel about the inconsistency.

It was a wonderful experience for a special occasion! The value though... $13 for a glass of Rosé, $83 for steak and mashed potatoes, $6 for SAUCE! It was all delicious but dang, it's expensive. We will likely be back for our next big celebrations (milestone birthday or anniversaries).

Slow service and felt nickel and dimed. Party of 4 we were charged a 20% service fee including on the $8 valet charge which we were asked if we wanted our parking “validated”. My husband has been unhappy with the value/service at Daniels our previous couple visits. This was his last straw.
