    Great food -- and Susan brought it out. Fall Cobb salad was creative, delicious, and large, but not ridiculously so. Alice B breakfast was tasty as well. The server gladly modified dishes to meet our needs. Outside seating was relaxing and quiet for our Sunday brunch.

    This is our second time here and it was just as delicious as the first. We did the Petite Mezza (sp?!) which is a lot of food. The flavors are not just your basics. They pop with freshness and intensity. Advice—a lot of food comes fast. Ask them to pace the meal, and ask for serving spoons before the servers disappear! Great cocktails, too. There was a super singer in the lounge. She enhanced the experience.

    We have been eating at Daniel's Table for about 15 years and his food is great. This time we had the Calamari Sauce, Cape Grim Boneless Rib Eye, the short rib and the dates. He has speciality wines and I always allow him to choose the red wine. This is a dining experience and you will be seated so that you can see him prepare the meals.
