   I’ve visited This location several time & this was one of the WORST EXPERIENCES to date Made a reservation for a First Date requested a Wi die table arrived on time & seated in a table @ the corner of an open section. Several window table were open and once seated the waiter took a drink order and came over as if to rush our dining sequence. I asked Matthew the bus set if he could inquire if we could bb mover to an open table along tur window and the host said No A few moments later the couple sitting next to us was moved to a window table we requested. The next couple seated again at the table next to us was also moved to a large booth in the corner that seats 6. Later another couple seated in the same table next to our was also moved to a window table that sat 4. This wa an obvious inappropriate treatment of a guest. My friend ordered an alas w/ blackened salmon and the salmon entree cane extremely charred no blacken seasoning and well below standard. The hostess a host came by to correct the problem & instead of removing the entree she took a pair of tongs and reached over the food This is such That professional treatment of a guest that could have been avoided with the proper attention and care the waiter was no where I sight for quite some time. I noticed he had tables across the room where he remained for quite some time u til I signaled the busser to have him come to our table. Again when he sis arrive we felt like his attention was not on our table but somewhere else. We asked for the remainder of the entrees to be boxed separately but the came in one box. I asked for the check & gave the waiter my credit card to not prolong the wait. I’ve visited this Daniel’s Broiler location for several special occasions and felt unwelcomed and treated I the poorest manner, well below industry standards This was a Special First Date occasion that was very disappointing as a Real Estate pro. This need some attention

   The food is very overpriced and the theme is butter. So much butter on everything. The steaks are solid, but way too expensive (some at or over $100) and coated in butter or other overpowering sauces. Add to this the butter was pooled all over the accompanying food, not good. The apps are also cheaply made for the price, little value. Calamari was small and let’s try grilled vs all that batter. Shrimp salad was sad, tiny shrimp and they were obviously pre-frozen, no flavor. Sauces on everything, heavy and unhealthy. Kids meals also, so basic for what is trying a nice place. Finally, the food was slow, took so long for main courses. This place needs a fresh menu, solid re-strategy. Won’t be going back, so many better, more delicious options in Seattle.

   Maybe because it was a late )8PM?) reservation but we felt incredibly rushed the whole time. Not offer for a second cocktail, bill served with dessert. Disappointing for Daniela’s.

   We reserved an early time for dinner. The host asked if we were there for a special occasion which we were not but nice to know for the future. There were just a few diners so the noise level was low which we like for conversation. Our server was fantastic. He made us feel like we were his only table, and he had a great smile! All five at the table enjoyed their meal and the desserts were yummy.

   It was a pleasure to be able to celebrate retiring at Daniel’s. What an amazing dinner. Everything was superb. The bacon wrapped scallops were so good, filet was cooked perfectly and the salmon was so flavorful and melted in my mouth. We will look forward to our next celebration there.

    Daniel’s used to be one of my favorite classic steakhouses. I even worked at the Bellevue location in my youth so I understand their standards of service. I don’t know I keep going there because they don’t care about the service anymore and the food is no longer consistent. Even worse the service is awful, yet there is an automatic service charge of 20 or more percent. Literally the staff and management don’t care. The Bellevue location is the only one that is still consistently good service and food wise. It’s like they’re not the same restaurants. Don’t bother wasting your money or time at the Leschi or Lake Union locations. If they’re both still around a couple years from now I’ll be shocked. Lake Union used to be a great location but now it’s sad…Leschi the service is actually worse than Lake Union and that’s saying A LOT.
