Restaurant Summary
Located in the heart of Manhattan, specifically on the upper east side, Daniel captures the essence of fine dining. The restaurant oozes opulence that cannot be overlooked. The grand two-story restaurant is a marvel of old-world charm with its deep mahogany wood, high coffered ceilings, and fine detailed tapestry. Awash in a muted, rich palette of gold and white, the space exudes an air of sophistication and elegance that is second to none in New York City.
Not only is Daniel a visual feast, but the culinary experience goes unmatched. The establishment's culinary genius, Chef Daniel Boulud, reigns supreme in the New York City fine dining scene. The cuisine could best be described as French contemporary, with a hint of tradition infused with modernity. Daniel's menu is seasonal, with frequent changes to reflect the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
Some of the signature dishes include Black Sea Bass in Syrah Sauce, a delicate combination of bass and red wine reduction, creating a balance between the robust taste of wine and the lightness of fish. The Foie Gras Terrine is another standout on the menu, a mélange of flavors playing together in perfect harmony. Lastly, a must-try is the Duo of Beef, with the meltingly tender braised short ribs combined with a perfectly seared beef tenderloin. Each dish is not only a culinary delight but also a piece of art, presented in a way that is visually stunning.
Daniel is not just about food. It has an impressive wine list, spanning the globe with a focus on French wines in sync with the cuisine. The sommelier ensures a wine for every palate, every dish, and every occasion.
In conclusion, Daniel is more than just a restaurant - it's an experience. A treat to the senses, it offers world-class cuisine, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that transports you to a world of luxury the moment you step in, making it one of the top dining venues in New York City.
