Slow service, cute inside but food is subpar. I think they could do better with more experienced servers who actually care about their jobs

We've tried Danielle's Scratch Kitchen twice now. I want to give them five stars but their price point versus serving size is what keeps stopping me. Last summer was our first visit. Seven of us all enjoyed our meals. We tried a little bit of everything, had top notch service and talked about the visit for a while. Only one leftover box went home that night. Fast forward to date night with my husband this winter where we ate every single bite wishing we had more. With one pop and one water, our bill was $75 with a reasonable tip. No alcohol, appetizer or dessert. Two pasta entrees. Service was good. Nothing memorable like the first visit, but we weren't left to rot in a corner so I appreciated that fact. Maybe serve some bread to help soak up the delicious sauces? I don't know, but a couple tweaks to add some perceived value and this could be a regular stop. read more

I have eaten lunch at Danielle's several times, and each time I had the same impression -- food good, service good, ambiance nice . . . but I just didn't feel like I got my money's worth out of the meal. I find the place a bit pricy, in other words. I just didn't come away feeling like I got $X worth of food / experience. It's a quality place and I recommend you try it. The decor is attractive and the service is friendly and helpful. I'd like to try Danielle's for dinner sometime to see what those meals are like. Just be prepared to pay up a bit, and see how you feel about that at the end of the meal. read more

Fantastic meal! Loved the ambiance, food and service. We dined in for a late lunch after having our nails done nearby in the same shopping center and enjoyed the burrata and HH drink specials. After 2p there is a $4 discount on apps and drink specials after 3p. Great wine list too! The burrata was by far one of my favorite dishes! A must order! We also enjoyed their salads with salmon. Crisp, fresh and perfectly dressed. The amazing salmon was cooked medium and delicious! We plan to come back to explore more of the menu for a double date. Check out the patio area too! So beautiful! Definitely a wonderful spot to enjoy Italian cuisine classics with great company. read more

Really expensive for mediocre food. Limited menu. But they got us right in without a reservation and the waiter was nice and attentive.

Family came here on our way from Denver to Colorado Springs! We just had a handful of apps, drinks, and shared dessert! Most importantly the smoked Old Fashioned Cocktail was amazing! They used Eagle Rare bourbon folks. IYKYK! My friends and I make OF'd at home and so I asked the bartender to show me how he made it. Pretty cool to be able to watch the process!! The bar was ! Food, calamari and crispy coconut shrimp were fine, nothing special. Veggie flat bread was amazing! Salad, very good. Apple crumble cheesecake with whipped cream was magnificent! Don't pass on it even if you are full. Lol Atmosphere and setting is super nice too. Go here y'all! I highly recommend it. Plus workers there are super nice, happy, and chill! read more

We love this place! Great food, extremely friendly staff. We have two toddlers and they are always so accommodating.

It was my first time here and if I had the option to give 3.5 stars I would have. If you're looking for fairly priced homemade Italian food I'd recommend this. Overall the food was good and you could tell it was made from scratch. It has a pleasant atmosphere for dinner. The only issues I have with it is that it took almost 30 minutes to come out. Along with our server Vanessa being non existent for most of our service and not being very pleasant. I don't like to mention names but I wouldn't want someone else to suffer the same fate that we did. I had to ask the buss boy for a to go box and our check after being done with our food for over 10 minutes. Regardless I still enjoyed it and will be back. read more

We started with the Buratta and enjoyed it. Very fresh. We then followed with the flatbread and enjoyed them both. Nice lunch stop.

So good! If you're looking for authentic Italian food that is made to perfection, look no further. They make all of the pasta (minus penne), and sauces from scratch! Stretch their own mozzarella as well! The food was fresh and flavorful. We had the Chicken Gorgonzola which was so delicious! Make sure you add a chicken breast. Our table also had the Eggplant Parmesan and it was the best any of us have had. Great seasonings and the eggplant was perfectly cooked. You need to come here! So delicious! read more

A great lil place off the beaten path, the FOP was awesome, they have great drinks... I recommend the Palm-a-rita... a taste of sumner. We had the shrimp scampi and the halibut both had delicious sides. The attentive staff helped with both indoor and outdoor dining. This a hidden gem, great food, chill atmosphere and friendly staff. They also have great desserts... we had no room. read more

We had one of the most amazing dining experiences here and can't wait to come back!!! First, we sat on the patio which had a beautiful ambiance. We were greeted promptly by our server, Danielle, who was phenomenal the whole time. She was incredibly attentive and made good conversation throughout the meal. My husband got a margarita to drink and said it was tasty, try it! All the food was fresh and delicious the shrimp scampi was a good portion size and the noodles were buttery and excellent. The village pasta is a good choice too, I liked how it had sausage and a meatball! read more

The ambiance, service and food were all note worthy and consistently delivers great value

The food was very good. The service not so much. One diner in our party received their meal approximately 15 minutes after everyone else. The waiter admitted he had entered the wrong item and was "rushing" the replacement entree. All the other diners in the party had almost finished their entree by the time the final one was delivered. There was no apology from the restaurant, other than sorry I put your order in wrong. read more

Nice ambience. Good service. Great menu & delicious food. Very kind to comp our dessert for my birthday. Recommend & will be back! read more

Great tasting food and always have available seating when the patio is open! Not inexpensive! Good service and easy access to parking!

We were looking forward to spending our afternoon with this restaurant after our massages at Woodhouse. We all have history working in restaurants and history in management positions. We were very disappointed in the catering abilities of this restaurant. The birthday girl turns 30 and the were out of simple syrup (on a freaking Friday), out of her appetizer and the pork of her main entree. So she could order nothing she wanted. The meals we received were great but overall it was a terrible experience. read more

Service took forever and i had to ask the hostess for a server. A really nice place in a great little area with a great cocktail menu. The food was just okay, my Benedict wasn't anything to write home about and the potatoes felt like they were packaged. Overall it was an okay experience. read more

They have a menu with enough variety but small enough to be manageable and ensure quality. Service is always a joy to deal with. They come up with some very interesting cocktails - I'm more a neat bourbon guy but here I let them surprise me and it is always good. Love love love all the chicken dishes. The patio is a great place for happy hour. read more

Food was delicious, server was delightful and ambiance was just right. We went for a girls night out and we are planning to go back again.

Everything from food to service was great. Our group tried a variety of entrees and nothing disappointed! The smoked old fashions are amazing. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Came here for a work lunch this week, and I was glad we chose this restaurant. The decor was very pretty, and the service was great. I had Danielle's Chicken: lemon butter sauce, sautéed spinach, potatoes, and green beans. The chicken was moist, potatoes perfectly seasoned, and the green beans cooked to prefection. Everyone at the table cleared their plates, which is always a good sign. The next time I'm down in Castle Rock, I'll need to make a stop here to try more of the menu. read more

All the flavors made me think that this could be how my food would taste if I ever figured out how to grow and use an herb garden. Lol Chicken Marsala had very rich almost caramelized flavors. The steak was delicious and tender. Spicy Ranch wings weren't spicy at all but were yummy. Last the chicken parmigiana was just ok. The spaghetti it came with was very good. All good sized portions and the service was attentive and kind. read more

Not great. Got the chicken Marsala- the chicken was extremely dry and tasteless. I requested pasta instead of potatoes- that wasn't possible even tho it's an "Italian" restaurant so I was offered risotto. It was white rice with scallions. Flavorless as well. My friend who we went with also got "risotto" with her over-cooked halibut. It too was just over-cooked rice of which she requested salt for. My husband got the pork osso bucco. He was satisfied with that. We waited a long time for our food. Not sure if it's because of his pork that all the rest of us had over-cooked protein, but I would not recommend this restaurant. Plus- it was entirely too hot in the restaurant... read more

As much as I would like to keep this place my little secret it's too good not to share with friends and family! Food and service are amazing! We always take our little kids and it's kid friendly as well as perfect for a date night. Definitely our new favorite spot! read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I've eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. Most importantly, the place is normal (which is rare these days). read more

Way over priced. Food was lacking the sauce described on the menu...and the meat was dry. Small servings for $40 plus dollars a plate. The side salads were fresh but makes you wonder if they are loosing money and cutting back. Service was good and pleasant inside read more

NOM NOM NOM! They may have THE BEST crab cake egg benedict I've ever had! Albeit we'd just got done with a hike and were rather ravenous, the blend of flavors and consistency was pure perfection! The crispness of the crab cake batter was light, crunchy, and soooo tasty! The crab meat was amazing, and the hollandaise sauce was AMAZING! I usually don't care for much hollandaise because it can be too thick, creamy, and overbearing, but the chef here at Danielle's Scratch Kitchen perfected it! I swirled my English muffin in it and was in heaven, haha. My friend loved her veggie frittata and we both shared some amazingly fresh French toast (had to satisfy the sweet tooth!). The breakfast potato accompaniment was dusted with Parmesan cheese that gave them a nice, unique flavor. Not to mention, they were cooked PERFECTLY! Crisp on the outside and just the right amount of softness in the inside. The only 2 reasons it didn't get 5 stars are 1) their meat selection is super limited - only pork products. So if you try for a little healthier meat option and avoid pork or red meats, you might be let down. And 2) the French toast was just a little too dry and firm. It still tasted good though! Oh!!! And I can't forget - their customer service was top notch! Super friendly and perfectly attentive and timed. Way to go Danielle's Scratch Kitchen! You have 2 new fans! read more

We visited Danielle's for August dinner club. I started with the house salad with fresh vegetables and just the right amount of balsamic dressing. I chose the Southern Fried Chicken with potatoes and green beans for dinner. I could have eaten every bite, but I took some to go to save room for dessert. Crème Brûlée *chef's kiss*. I've already told a few friends about this place, and I'll definitely return. read more

The chicken Marsala is amazing! Will def be back for it. Almost everything we have had here is cooked to perfection. The only thing I don't recommend is the Chicken Picatta. It lacked in lemon flavor and was very bland. read more

We've gone there for many years for the Salmon Piccata. The last two times, the taste was terrible. The risotto was so salty it was inedible. When we told the server, she said they've been getting many complaints. Our burger was also almost too salty to eat. Seems like they've gotten a new chef lately and the food taste and quality have declined. read more
