Everything about this restaurant is amazing! Our servers name was Martino and he was excellent! 10/10 would recommend.

JUSTIN was a superb server. He described specials and all beefs with mouth watering explanations. We had a hard time deciding because we had so many choices. The service was exceptional and the restaurants energy was contagious. The presentation of each item was magazine beautiful and the meals were so flavorful, we were guessing what the fresh ingredients were. Every item on the menu is from Florida including fresh vegetables and fish from our ocean and meat farmed locally. "A MUST TRY" MICHELIN STAR NOMINATED 2025 and 2026 read more

I can't argue about their food. I had their filet mignon done rare, Pittsburgh style, and it turned out to be totally delicious. It was one of the best I've ever had, with a perfect Pittsburgh char. The beef was from the DemKota supplier, which I had never heard of. But, a quick Google let me know it is one of the most exclusive and best of meat suppliers. Not many restaurants openly let you know where or from whom they purchase their meats. That is probably for good reasons as you may find out you are eating the same quality of meat from the same supplier to Pubiix, or worse. What I didn't like about Daniel's is that they don't respect reservations. We had reservations but got that old "why don't you have a seat at the bar" routine. So we sat, sat and sat at the bar for so long we finally gave up and ordered our meals at the bar. Also, the noise level. I was downright excruciating. We couldn't even have a conversation. So, though Daniel's steakhouse food is five starts, their ambience and comfort level is only a miserable lowly one star; hence my overall rating is three Yelp stars read more

After waiting quite some time to finally visit Daniel's Steakhouse in Coral Gables, I can confidently say it was worth every bit of the anticipation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening spacious and quiet enough for real conversation, with lighting that is absolutely on point. The Experience Our server, Logan, was exceptional. His recommendations were spot-on, and his attention to detail made us feel truly taken care of throughout the night. It is rare to find service that is this professional yet genuinely warm. The Food Everything we tasted was outstanding, cementing its place as one of the best steakhouses in Miami. We started with the sourdough bread and the tuna tartare which had a perfect spicy touch that woke up the palate. For the main event, the Tomahawk 23oz (perfect for a couple) was a revelation. It was cooked to perfection incredibly juicy with a smoky, slightly crispy exterior. The combination of the volcano salt and their signature tomato sauce on the side elevated the flavor to another level. The sides did not disappoint, either: Lobster Mac and Cheese: Hands down the best I've ever had. Baked Potato: Soft, cheesy, and the ultimate comfort food. Salad: Fresh and a nice accompaniment, though the steak and sides are the true stars. The Grand Finale We ended the night with the chocolate cake. It was rich, delicious, and so massive that we were able to enjoy it the next day (and honestly, the flavor was even better the morning after!). My husband and I enjoyed every single bite. If you are looking for a high-end dining experience in Coral Gables that delivers on both flavor and ambiance, Daniel's is the place to be. We will definitely be back! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Justin and Max who took care of us tonight. You MUST try the wagyu experience and potato fonduta (epic spin on mash). As a stickler on customer service, I was incredibly impressed by their care and attention to their guests. Great ambience for a date night! read more

Had a great experience at Daniel's! Weekend reservations are hard to come by without much notice but we snagged a reservation for 8:30pm. The restaurant was busy and does not leave much room for privacy with seating. We were seated promptly upon arrival and the server quickly came to the table. We were provide with options and they displayed the cuts of steak they had. We opted for caviar and chips, truffle mashed potatoes, and 8 oz filet. As for drinks the passion star martini was delicious! Perfectly Balanced, not too sweet or tart. Our server and wait staff remained attentive and were always available or checking in. As for the steak, we both ordered medium but mine came out looking completely different and once I reached center, it was rare. I opted not to send back since I had plenty for leftovers but not sure the disconnect there. Otherwise, everything was great! It's a bit crowded and very busy on weekend but overall, great addition to Fort Lauderdale! read more

A+++++. Lets just say, I went on a Friday night, and returned that same Sunday! Incredible experience, food was superb, service was top tier, from the bar or table, phenomenal, and the ambiance was uplifting, not your typical steakhouse, good music and vibrant. Highly recommend the wagu trio experience. Will return! Recommend making a reservation ahead. It gets busy! read more

Over the last 20 years I have been regularly underwhelmed by the food scene in Fort Lauderdale. I have found most restaurants here to be sub par at best. Frequently I found myself having to travel to Miami or Palm Beach for what I would consider a decent meal. Understandably when I heard about this new hottest restaurant I was skeptical. However I was completely blown away. Easily, the best meal I have ever had in Fort Lauderdale. I would even go as far as to say it would be in my top 10, possibly even top 5. A list which includes many of the famous steakhouses from LA to Las Vegas to NYC, Daniel's leaves nothing to be desired. read more

Daniel's, A Florida Steakhouse - Daniel's martini - Steakhouses Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

5+ stars!!! 1st class dining in every aspect. Service is top notch. A whole team will serve your table. From the captain to servers and bussers, everyone is respectful, helpful, and polite. The food was delicious. We started with steak tartar and crab cake. The crab cake was all crab and the accompanying sauces (including a Meyer lemon sauce) made it different than the many crab cakes I have had in Maryland. We shared a porterhouse, which was plenty for two with enough to take home. The meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We ordered the corn pudding which was decadent. It's like the sweetest, richest creamed corn you will ever eat. Dessert was an excellent key lime pie. The staff recognized Husband's birthday with a card. Two managers stopped by at different times to check in. Tables are close and the place is noisy, so not the place for a quiet date. Overall, Daniel's is a well oiled machine that provides fine dining that until now, I had yet to see in Broward county. Yes, it's pricey, but great for a special occasion. read more

This place is beyond amazing! The quality of the food is top notch, definitely worth every penny! I came with my husband to celebrate his birthday and he was welcomed with a birthday card-- a detail I've never seen before at any other restaurant! We tried the wagyu meatball, the wagyu and pearls and the crab cake (made from really blue crab) from the appetizers and they were all mouth watering but the favorite was the wagyu and pearls tartare which included caviar. From the entrees we ordered the FLORIDA ARROWHEAD DELMONICO 140Z (melts in your mouth, so delicious!) and Wagyu DENVER STEAK 80z --so good! The double baked potato is like nothing I have ever had, so delicious and so different-- no words to describe it. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion!!! read more

It's been a minute since I've written a review, but my experience was phenomenal, so I had to. Had an early dinner this last Sunday. The restaurant was getting busy, we got sat at a really nice table in the middle of the restaurant with a nice view of the open kitchen and the restaurant in its entirety. The valet and staff were super friendly and welcoming. The experience was superb from start to finish. We cleaned our plates-- literally ate everything off the plates. The only thing we didn't eat was the endive garnish and the steak sauce. Food: ** Chicken and caviar - Thank you for accommodating the request (it was not on the menu) - simply outstanding. ** Truffle cacio e pepe- perfectly cooked, just delicious. ** FL NY strip - Wowzers, the crust, rub, and temp was spot on, beautifully cooked. ** Creamed spinach- so good I can't get over it. I'm normally not a fan of creamed spinach, but this was a legit perfect POT OF GOLD. ** Twice-baked potato - had a beautiful crusty potato like a muffin top on the outside and creamy inside. ** Key lime lemon tart - amazing, perfect ratio of graham cracker(lots of it) and filling. Service: The service was top-notch, servers went above and beyond. It was not overbearing or annoying. We did not feel rushed; it was well-paced and on point. Shout out and kudos to our servers-- Geoffrey and Karl, you guys were stellar!! My only complaint would be that the tables are small-- I wish they were bigger. Even for 2 people (we eat for 4 people), playing Tetris with dishes on the table was challenging. Just brilliant and such an incredible experience. I'd put it up there with Surf Club and Hollywood Prime. I will be back soon. Thanks again! read more

A Michelin rated restaurant that deserves a star!! Parking: this venue is in a quasi residential area so there is really only valet parking available. Valet folks were nice and it was not too pricey! Drinks: LARGE selection of wines and spirits...from the very affordable to very expensive!! We some of their specialty cocktails! Food: I generally don't love Michelin restaurants but this one was really amazing. Great portion sizes and delicious flavor! We had the grilled branzino, brisket bao buns, lamb chops, twice baked potato, broccolini and Mac and Cheese! Check out the pics! Everything was great!! Service: very good. Coincidentally, we were served by a guy named Daniel! Atmosphere/vibe: it is not a large venue so it feels very intimate. It was packed. The bar is pressed right up against where you meet the hostess so that is a little awkward. Age group: all ages but no very young kids Bathroom: pretty basic for such a nice establishment Return:yes! read more

The place was packed! Service was amazing and the Passion Star cocktail was SO GOOD! I wasn't able to include the Caesar Salad in the picture but the dressing was 10/10. Overall great experience aside from the Truffle Cacio e Pepe pasta which I would suggest skipping as it was very dry and didn't have much flavor. Aside from that everything was delicious and I highly recommend getting the Crab Cake...wow! read more

Came here for a long-awaited celebration dinner. We made a reservation for four of us and we were led to our table right away. It was quite a small table given how many plates and glasses we each needed so it was pretty crowded and a bit limiting. The service was excellent, our server and everyone else that approached our table were extremely accommodating and friendly. Some people may feel that the level of service here might be a bit overbearing with the amount of people that continuously come to the table to check on you, I personally did not mind it. The food was delicious and there is no doubt about it, however, for the price you are paying, I would not say it is worth it. The best dishes were the twice baked potato side, the filet minion, and the chocolate hazelnut dessert cake (one of the best desserts I have ever had!). This is a great option if you are looking to really splurge and want an upscale dining experience, but I found it more to be a one-time luxury experience. read more

I don't even know where to begin with this review. A friend highly recommended this restaurant, so my husband surprised me by taking me there for our anniversary. We were excited, especially given its Michelin recognition, but unfortunately it turned into one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, things started off poorly. As the hostess was walking us to our table, I noticed several empty tables in the center of the restaurant that would have provided a much more intimate setting for an anniversary dinner. Instead, we were seated in a corner directly in front of the kitchen where the food runners continuously picked up orders. It was noisy, lacked any sense of ambiance, and certainly wasn't the romantic experience we were expecting. To make matters worse, the air conditioning vent was directly above our table. It was, without question, the coldest restaurant I've ever dined in--and I was already wearing a long-sleeved dress. My husband asked if we could move, and although we were given another table closer to the middle of the dining room, it was still freezing. The staff offered me a shawl, which I accepted, and I noticed several other guests wearing them as well. That alone should tell management there's a problem with the temperature. At that point, I honestly wanted to leave, but since we were celebrating our anniversary, we decided to give it a chance. The food was just as disappointing. The pastrami bao buns were mediocre at best--certainly nothing memorable. We then ordered the steaks. One was requested medium-rare but arrived practically raw. When we sent it back, it came back overcooked and well done, making it inedible. The second steak was cooked better, but neither came close to justifying the price or living up to the restaurant's Michelin reputation. Ironically, the best part of the meal was the side dishes--the mushrooms and the asparagus. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that my husband spent nearly $400 to celebrate our anniversary, only for us to leave feeling frustrated and completely let down. For a restaurant with this reputation and these prices, the service, atmosphere, and food should have been exceptional. Instead, it was one of the worst fine dining experiences we've had. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Absolute perfection. From the steaks to the side and dessert. My wagyu flank was excellent and the mushrooms were outstanding. Service couldn't have been better. Jordana and Karl were on point. The place was bustling and a bit loud, but the food shined and the super staff made it a perfect visit. read more

First and foremost the service was exceptional. Skylar and Doug were wonderful. From the minute we were seated we felt welcomed and taken care (think pretty much everyone wished us a happy new year). The food was delicious, there wasn't anything we ordered we couldn't state that to. We started with the bread service and the the blue crab cake which was divine, I preferred it with not utilizing all the lemon curd (I think that's what it was) but the person I was with loved the strong lemon taste. I will note the person I was with hates crab and immediately forgot what she was eating on the first bite. We both ordered steaks, I got the filet minon wagyu flight which was so simple but delicious. Every piece melted in your mouth my party ordered the truffle butter which was delicious but I chose not to use it because the steak was so good on its own. We did get a side of the crimini mushrooms which were plentiful and taste so good. To end the night we got the red velvet cake which was decadent but not overly sweet. Every detail they seemed to take into consideration including the steak knives (the blade had swirls on them, but it wasn't what you would see from Damascus). This place is expensive but for a great night out or a celebration this is a great spot. I will be happy to come again for no reason at all. read more

Caesar was unreal, super flavorful and has a lot of basil, which was delicious. Wedge salad, incredible. Crab cake was great as well, not the best I've ever had but really good! The sourdough bread with the ricotta honey was sooooo yummy and flavorful.

Corn pudding was absolutely amazing, vodka sauce pasta was soooo good, twice baked potato was amazing, needed a little salt. We got the skillet cookie and banana bread for dessert, I wasn't obsessed with either of them, but they were good. Service was great, espresso martini was great read more

Went to Daniel's Steakhouse on a recent Sunday night. Now you all know what a good steak tastes like so I won't a lot of time on that. And the sides were also delicious. But there were 2 things worth noting. First, I ordered their signature martini, the Daniel's martini ($21).You can get it with vodka or gin but the interesting thing is it comes "deconstructed" so you assemble it yourself. I was asked how dirty I wanted it and I said "fairly dirty" and got two tiny vials of olive juice. The woman next to me said "slightly" and only got one. But there was definitely plenty of vodka as you can see in my pic! Also worth noting are the Bao buns appetizer ($24)These pastrami filled, onion and thousand island dressing topped, puffy bundles of deliciousness were amazing! I'd go there just for these. They need them on their D's sports bar menu! Our steaks were perfectly cooked, we had the NY strip ($95 each) which is my fav steak and they came out exactly how we wanted them. We shared the corn pudding (delicious) and the twice baked potato offering. And since it was my birthday we ordered the chocolate cake ($28). They also brought out a comped dessert which I wish they had told us about before we ordered the 2nd dessert as we really didn't need 2! But hey- it's my birthday! The ambiance is nice but very tight- you will be right on top of the people next to you. And if there was one thing that needs changing, it's the entranceway. They moved the hostess stand out of the doorway where it used to be when this was Canyon and positioned it to the side of the bar. There is no room to stand and people were bumping into each other. They need to re think this. It's definitely a splurge place as the prices are high (dinner for 2 with 3 drinks in total, 2 appetizers, 2 steaks, 2 shared sides and 1 dessert was $417 before tip), but the food and service were spot on- everything fine dining should be! read more

Daniel's is a gem. It's truly a five-star experience and is undoubtedly one of the most high-end restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. The bread was delicious, I could've done without the citrus-infused butter but the bread itself was so fluffy. The Wagyu and pearls was absolutely scrumptious, I could've had 50 of them. The filet was really good and seasoned to perfection, as were the fries. The lobster Mac and cheese was good but it was overtly cheddary. I usually really like cheddar but I found it slightly overbearing in this version. Regardless I still ate it up. Finally, the red velvet was everything I wanted. It was classic, authentic, and delectable. I'll definitely be back and it's a great edition to the Fort Lauderdale food scene! read more

We had a lovely dinner for six at Daniel's in Fort Lauderdale. The location of the restaurant is easy to access and they have valet behind the building which is very convenient. The restaurant is open concept with the kitchen being open to the restaurant. The restaurant was completely sold out and I highly recommend reservations. I saw a few people trying to get tables without reservations and most ended up eating at the bar or leaving. Due to the restaurant being so full the only complaint I really have is that it was very loud in there. I do not know how they would correct that, but there were times where I couldn't hear the people at my table speaking. Once our dinner time was progressing and the restaurant thinned out just a little bit, the noise level made a significant improvement. The food is absolutely amazing. Our waiter was very attentive and the time from ordering food to receiving it was impressive considering how full the restaurant was. One of my guests ordered the Australian Wagyu New York strip, and said it was the best steak he had ever had. Another guest ordered the wagyu delmonico ribeye and loved it. I do not eat red meat and there were plenty of options for me as well. I had the red snapper which was absolutely delicious. We also ordered sides to share for the table which included lobster mac & cheese, twice baked potato and mushrooms. For dessert, we had a build your own sundae and the key lime pie. A minor side note regarding the sundae the brownie pieces were fresh baked and absolutely delicious. One more item I have to shout out is their bread. It's part of their appetizer options and I highly recommend giving it a try. They make a butter for the bread that is something I've never had before. It has a touch of salt, a touch of citrus. It's very flavorful and delicious. We really enjoyed our time at Daniel's. Would highly recommend it! read more

The food was good! We really enjoyed the bread service, Rockefeller oysters & cream spinach. Drinks were also great. The steak was a bit tough, but we were warned because it's grass-fed, which we appreciated. The meal was yummy but not mind-blowing. Overall, it was a good meal, but definitely on the pricier end.

The ambiance of this place is very chic and the servers were very attentive and doting. My friend and I went for Miami Spice brunch and enjoyed everything we ate. We got the Wagyu empanadas and kale salad for apps and both were delicious! The kale salad portion size was generous and perfect for sharing, which is ideal if you want to order different things for sampling more of the menu like we did. The pasta alla vodka and branzino were both yummy. I think the dessert menu could be a bit more well rounded beyond just sorbet and ice cream but the swirl ice cream was yummy and came with a small brownie piece to enjoy in unison, which was a nice touch. I ordered a gin drink that was refreshing and crisp. If you're looking for a nice Miami Spice menu, I think Daniel's offers a really great variety. read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Daniel's Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale, and it was truly an unforgettable evening. From the moment we sat down, everything was flawless. The steak was beyond tender -- it melted in my mouth -- and every side dish was bursting with rich, layered flavor. The atmosphere was elegant and softly lit, creating the perfect romantic setting. The private dining area was serene and beautifully arranged. Our server, Nina, was delightful -- professional, kind, and attentive -- and even the managers stopped by to make sure everything was perfect. The service was five-star from start to finish.

I came to restaurant on a Saturday night, around 10pm after seeing it online the previous week. Since I was alone I opted to sit at the bar. I asked if they made caipirinha's, Rodney was my incredible bar tender. He mentioned he didn't think they had the Cacacha rum for it but would double check. When he came back he advised in fact they did not have the Brazilian rum. I opted for a strawberry margarita as a replacement and it was very good. I ordered the 8oz filet with the double baked potato with no sour cream, I was advised that the sour cream was already mixed in. So I opted for just the steak, Rodney suggested the mashed potatoes and said it was really good. His description of it convinced me so I opted to have it without the truffle. The food came out roughly 15-20 min later. The manager I assume (dressed in a suit) stopped by and asked how everything was. Now to the moment of truth, the steak was really good. It had a nice char (super important to me), nicely seasoned. I was very happy. The mashed potato was also very good. Honestly it was enough for 2-3 people, and believe me I can eat a lot of food. A second guy in a suit stopped be and asked me how the steak was (maybe the owner, I'm guessing at this point since he was at the bar most of the time). The food, atmosphere, music, Rodney with his great service were all top tier. Be aware that if you have a hat on you maybe be asked to remove it, no issue there as it is indoors. And valet parking is $10. Mashed potato's with no truffle is $16, filet is $74, and the margarita was $16. Rodney left before I was finished but let me know they his colleague would be taking care of me (they were great too). He suggested I come during the week and that they had a very great happy hour. I think I'll do it. A young lady (red hair and glasses I think), I think she was a server came up to me and said she loved how I "was living my best life", I assume since I was at the bar enjoying a great steak at the bar alone. She was right, great experience. She was super warm and nice. Lastly as I waited for my car some guy pokes me in the back and hands me his parking ticket. I definitely would be back when I am feeling the urge to splurge on steak. read more

I struggled with leaving just 4 stars. I've wanted to go to Daniel's since it opened, more so after its second location took off in Coral Gables. The buzz and the accolades made this a must-go destination, even as the busy Federal Highway traffic blares past. Service was great. The ambiance was nice but not particularly cozy. Food and drink are a premium compared to competitors like Ruth's Chris, Jay's, Prime 112, Ocean Prime, or Capital Grille. Honestly Daniel's food was not any better, and it had less atmosphere. If I did not have such high expectations, this might have been a five star experience. It was simply another one of many. To be sure, my filet mignon was delicious ($78), but not enough in my opinion to warrant its price. That was among the least expensive options. My bearnaise sauce ($8) was atypical, and not in a good way. Rosemary fries ($12) were rather forgettable. My companion had an appetizer, wagyu tartare with caviar ($28), as an entree. It was very good but quite small. Dinner for two was $300 all in, which included one entree, one appetizer, two drinks, and a dessert. A second entree or more drinks would have pushed it to $400. Mandatory valet adds $10. Overall, I found Daniel's to be overpriced within its market niche. Everything was very good, but not great. I wanted to love it, but I only liked it. For a premium price, it lacked any wow factor. Good as it is, I will likely choose another option then next time I want a high end steak dinner. read more

First time at Daniel's for all of us! We've been wanting to try it but overlooked it bc of all the new steakhouses in FTL! We went for NYE and while I know we didn't make the last reservation (there were other times available), unfortunately we were seated at what looked like the very last table in the corner, of a separate room off the main dining area, and while I do recognize "someone" has to get the last table, for the $225/pp I would recommend asking to be seated in the "main" dining room. Every NYE pic looks like we are in a conference room sitting by the exit door and sandwiched near what looked like a storage closet :( . When "our" back room stated clearing out, we asked if others were arriving and they said yes, but no one came, and when we got up to toast at midnight the main dining room had mostly cleared out. It would've been nice to at least enjoy our dessert in the main room or near the bar where it seemed more lively. The service was excellent tho and it turned into a big joke that we were "in the corner". I had a good time but they ran out of the crabcakes which was a main attraction on the prix fixe menu. Also I think $300 for a bottle of Veuve was quite a mark up but I get it - NYE and all. read more

We visited Daniel's for dinner and I left with mixed feelings. This place is Michelin recommended. The food itself was delicious, but the prices felt a bit steep for what you get. Your best bet is to valet in order to dine here if you plan to drive because street parking is limited. And valet is not complimentary. The restaurant itself is cozy and felt a little cramped. We had reservations and were seated shortly after we arrived. But waiting near the reception area was awkward because there's no place to stand and it's right by the bar. The tables are too close for comfort and it was a full house. Once we were seated, our server attended to us shortly and also told us their specials. Overall, the menu had many good options. I like their mission of paying homage to all things Florida and supporting local farms. They also have an extensive wine and cocktail menu. What I find surprising is they charge for bread for $9. You better be making that dough to have some bread here. We skipped on the bread because we wanted to have an appetite to try other items on the menu. We started with the Florida seafood chowder, which was flavorful. I like the sweet lobster and shrimp bits that balance the tomato soup base flavors. My favorite appetizer was the wagyu and pearls. It's caviar with wagyu tartare. Need i say more? The savory flavor of the caviar pairs well with the Wagyu. We ordered a Florida grass fed steak and one steak was enough for the both of us. They slice the steak in pieces for you as well. It's good to pair with different sides. We tried the creamed spinach and crimini mushrooms. The service was attentive and as expected from a fancy steakhouse. One thing that detracted from the experience was our server's constant encouragement to order more drinks. The real standout was dessert: the key lime pie is a must-try. The balance of passion fruit puree and meringue made it just right--not too sweet, not too tart, and a perfect finish to the meal. Overall, Daniel's delivers on quality, but the high prices and upselling make it hard to justify as a regular spot. Worth a visit if you're looking to splurge.
