My first restaurant will always have a spot in my heart. Go for the tasting menu with wine pairings and let our excellent team of chefs and sommeliers guide you through an enchanting meal.

Top notch services. Professional, friendly yet not too formal. If you are getting the 4-courses menu. Highly recommend the foie gras but avoid the Wagyu.
MariApril 23, 2016
This was a fun experience but I'm not sure the 7 course tasting menu is worth the price tag. Everything was good and perfectly presented, but I wasn't blown away by any of the dishes.

Daniel by Chef Daniel Boulud is 5 star everything. The space, the service from the front desk, the bartenders, waitstaff, everything is executed perfectly. Each course and bite of food is breathtaking

Service, food, ambience--this place is amazing. Came for a special occasion & tried the 4 course tasting menu. While it's only four courses, they fill you up with other goodies during your meal.

Fine dining at its best 👌🏻 The 4-course menu offers a wide-choice of options. We loved the “wagyu beef with chanterelles, sauce Bordelaise”. For the show, order the vodka flambé’ed Foie Gras 🔥

Think you're done with the tasting menu? Think again. The desserts just keep coming (including this one which came with its own packaging, devoured in the cab ride home)
EddieJanuary 24, 2016
The food was perfect, they offer a 4 and 5 course menu as well as single choice if you sit in the lounge area. By far the best restaurant I have ever been to. The service is amazing.

One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had. The staff was friendly, and the food presentations were like a work of art. Very expensive, but I think it‘s okay with once in a lifetime experience.

The tasting menu is a classics tour de force. Delicious, ambitious, and it just keeps coming. Maybe not the most modern by today’s standards but soul satisfying. Surrender to Daniel!

Incredible French restaurant - experienced flavors and textures I never thought existed. Good for verrry special occasions :) cocktails are top notch, I enjoyed the "pass the buck".
Clara Ximena MontealegreSeptember 17, 2014
Get the three course tasting menu! Then you can add extra appetizers or desserts a la carte if you want to try more plates! Absolutely unbelievable food and service!
Andy WangOctober 4, 2014
Do yourself a favor and order a white cosmopolitan. 7 course meal is the epitome of glutton; recommend you skip lunch if you plan to go for 7 course. The same goes for your entire table
Jeffrey SilverNovember 7, 2017
Wonderful Restaurant in NYC. One of the finest. Attention to detail and service is truly top notch. The food is sublime and I would go back time and time again. Wine is bible to French classics yeah!

From chicken in a pig bladder to truffles in puff pastry to duck a la presse—I always leave inspired to reconnect with my classic French roots at Daniel. Viva Daniel Boulud! Read more
Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014
A variety of menu options, including the standard 3 course prix fix and a number of tasting menus, are available at Daniel. With superb service and well-executed plates, and it's a guaranteed success.

A New York institution if now a little past it’s prime. Nice atmosphere and well done, if safe cuisine. You could certainly do a lot worse.
Sadik Aydin PhotographySeptember 4, 2015
Great taste, great hospitality, and professionalism. You are at the right spot. Thanks to my wife for great birthday diner :) Enjoy!!!
Summer IzkovichJune 29, 2014
Boulud clan, hits French cuisine out of the park with this UES spot. Their tasting menu is something that everyone should try at least once, as is their extensive list of wines.
The Corcoran GroupMay 19, 2010
If you decide to go a la carte, try the meyer lemon royale with sea urchin, followed by the slow baked arctic char and if you have room, the warm guanaja chocolate coulant is a must!
Neli ParchikNovember 29, 2014
The sea bass is spectacular! Also, I highly recommend the White Cosmopolitan - ice ball with a live orchid inside it! 😯💛
NY WaterwayAugust 2, 2012
One of the best French restaurants in Manhattan hands down. The food is so beautifully presented and ACTUALLY tastes as good as it looks. Incredible place! Save room for desert!

The lounge provides a more diverse dining experience than the restaurant. Service/attention to detail was on point. The amuse bouches were inventive and delightful.
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013
Time to celebrate with the special 6 course tasting option. Include the Black Sea bass in your order to get an incredible light fish covered with delicious syrah wine sauce and crisp from tempura.
Douglas EllimanJuly 23, 2014
An elegant and high-end French eatery. The staff is always friendly and conversational. We love the eight-course “Grand Tasting,” which is paired with wine flights!
KhalillouJuly 25, 2015
1 of d best restaurants I've ever tried! Sensuous & sumptuous experience splurging in a 6-course menu w/ wine pairing. Superb in all d ways!!!
Brian TothDecember 12, 2014
Tasting menu is one of the best, service is impeccable, and presentation is excellent. A great dining experience
Wilson ZhouMay 1, 2014
Daniel Boulud and executive chef Jean François Bruel, Modern French with an American bent, Oven-baked black seabass with Syrah sauce, cauliflower cromesquis, potato Saint-Florentin, red ribbon sorrel.
New York HabitatDecember 7, 2011
This Michelin rated restaurant makes for a great special occasion dinner. The best value is had in the 3 course prix fixe, or you can splurge for the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing.
Daniel ChvatikDecember 30, 2014
Great French restaurant, always a special occasion. I would pick Bouley if I had to pick between the two but Daniel makes for a lovely evening as well.

Since 20years my first visit at daniel. Still hands up 🙌🏽 da best place in Manhattan. Daniel is simply da best. As well Eddy and Jean Francois thanks so much.
Sara ScornavacchiMarch 11, 2013
One of the best in the city, but not my favorite. Service can be a bit stiff- hard to get them to crack a smile. Food is very good.
Tiffany & CoJune 1, 2011
It is one thing to be in love. And quite another to be in love and seated in one of the world’s greatest French restaurants. A sumptuous and sensual experience by celebrated chef Daniel Boulud.
Gretchen RobbinsOctober 8, 2016
A restaurant of class and distinction- gorgeous room, beautiful dishes and one of the best sommeliers in the business.

Recently lost its 4-star NYT rating (four-course prix fixe $135, wine pairing $75-135) http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/24/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-daniel-on-the-upper-east-side.html

Spectacular. Try the four course menu, let the chef choose them (any restriction must be said before) and surprise yourself.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
Authentic French cuisine and a perfect spot for a romantic night out. Don't skip dessert here - the pastry chef is outstanding.
Jesse AtkinsonAugust 28, 2017
What is there to say that hasn't been said? Incredible but expensive dining experience. Is it worth it? I dunno. You have to make that choice yourself. But it is incredible.
DRAZNovember 18, 2015
The food was beautiful to look at, cool place for people watching. Food was ok, yellow tail in yuzu stood out no need for dessert as they give u many mini desserts at the end.
Premshree PillaiAugust 19, 2013
Beautiful food, warm dining room, low sound levels, hospitable service -- these are attributes hard to find in a New York City restaurant. Daniel manages to get all of them right.
Rachel LovingerJanuary 8, 2014
Amazing food, amazing service. Everything I've had here is delicious, but the artichoke ravioli is one of my favorite dishes of all time.
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012
Nobody delivers the full-on French haute luxury experience quite like Daniel Boulud. From the moment you step through the revolving door, you'll finds yourself expertly cosseted, regularly delighted.

The place it self was very beautiful, nice to just sit there and enjoy. I loved the bead there and the good was good too.
Will ScottFebruary 8, 2014
One of the World's Top 50 and definitely worthy of it. Go for the Cosmo with white vodka and terrine for starter.

Request the soufflé dessert upon sitting down at your table (or in your reservation) otherwise you'll be robbed of the experience bc it's not listed on the menu
Leif E. PedersenNovember 13, 2018
This is it! The top of the top in service, ambience and food! Find the money and go here - you will never regret !!!!
