Had my birthday dinner here this year and really enjoyed our first-time visit. We really couldn't have picked a better spot, it had been raining all week, and we got a little break during dinner to enjoy the sunset across Lake Union. Perfect evening. Towards the end of our dinner, my husband asked for a small dessert with a candle to wish me HBD, and to my surprise, other people at the restaurant joined in on singing me Happy Birthday. It was such a nice touch. Most folks here range from friend groups, business meetings, lots of dates, celebrations, and even just casual walk-ins. We understood why locals talk this place up so much. It really is a PNW gem. The steaks were amazing, cooked to perfection, melt-in-your-mouth, and worth the price tag in my opinion. The service was also amazing and friendly. The restaurant feels luxe but not too stuffy, which is what we were expecting. This place is surprisingly good for casual walk-ins. It's what you make of it, I think, and there are very few places that can have such a high range. We'll definitely be back! read more

DANIEL'S BROILER @ LAKE UNION I came here for a friend's birthday, and this was honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had. I don't usually go out to steak restaurants, but this is definitely a place I would come back to. Their mashed potatoes are absolutely amazing. They're so soft, creamy, and flavorful. I also ordered the filet mignon, which is around $80 to $100 depending on the location, and it was phenomenal. The steak was cooked perfectly and definitely lived up to the price. I also really loved the vibe of this place. It's beautiful, located right on the lake in Seattle, and offers such a gorgeous view. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating, especially with our large party. The service was excellent, and they did a great job making sure everyone had a great experience. Overall, this is definitely a spot I would recommend if you have a birthday coming up, are celebrating a special occasion, or just want to enjoy a really good steak with a beautiful view. read more

Coming from Hawai'i to Seattle in February was already an experience in itself...I thought I anticipated everything lol but I was mistaken and showing up to Daniel's Broiler in South Lake Union while completely underdressed for both the weather AND the more what seemed like a fine dining atmosphere was another story entirely ! It was around 36-40 degrees outside and I was FREEZING. I honestly think the staff initially thought I was either lost or just trying to escape the cold for a moment lol. But as soon as I mentioned I was meeting a friend for dinner, they immediately welcomed me in and treated me wonderfully. Once they found out I was visiting from Hawai'i, nobody paid any attention to my very-not-fine-dining outfit anymore and instead sympathized with my struggle against Seattle winter weather . And honestly? The food absolutely made the cold worth it. I ordered the filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and it was cooked beautifully -- tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a high-end steakhouse experience. We also shared the Wisconsin cheese curds, which were dangerously good and disappeared very quickly from the table. Daniel's Broiler definitely falls into the upscale/fine dining category, but what I appreciated most was that it didn't feel overly stiff or pretentious. The atmosphere still felt approachable and welcoming, especially for travelers and visitors who may not look perfectly dressed for the occasion after battling Seattle weather all day. The ambience was elegant but comfortable, with beautiful views overlooking South Lake Union and the Seattle skyline. It's the kind of place that works equally well for celebrations, business dinners, date nights, or simply warming up with a really good steak after walking around the city all day. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but expected for a steakhouse of this caliber. My filet alone was around the $80 range, but portions, quality, service, and overall experience made it feel worthwhile for a special dinner outing. Service throughout the evening was attentive, professional, and kind without ever making us feel rushed or out of place. If you're visiting Seattle and craving a classic steakhouse experience with great food, scenic views, and genuinely welcoming service, Daniel's Broiler is absolutely worth considering -- even if you accidentally show up looking like a confused tourist escaping the cold like I did . read more

Started off great. Scallop, clam chowder and lam chop were all good. Stunning view and very welcoming service. Bone-in rib-eye. A big failure. Steak is way over charred. Manager told me that's how they prepared it. I understand the fat and seasoning can burn and bring up sharp bitterness, especially on the edges. But to have it unbearly bitter, that it ruins even the middle cut, is just not acceptable. How you prepare is not an excuse. If the food comes out this bad, then it's a failure. And the denial earns straight zero stars, especially at a prime steakhouse. Then got a free celebration dessert for birthday, which was very nice. The steak earns zero stars and the rest pulls back one star. read more

I was craving a good steak and seafood and Daniel's Broiler sounded like a good option. There's a few parking spaces for restaurant guests, but the rest of parking you had to pay. We were able to grab the last reserved parking spot. We didn't make reservations but we were able to be sat down within a few minutes. I liked that they had their steaks on display so we can see the marble . We were sat next to the window over looking the pier. We saw the local raccoons run around. We started off with the bacon wrapped scallop and jumbo prawn. The table also had a couple bread rolls and salted butter and I had the lavender martini. The bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly. The bacon was thin , yet not over cooked and crispy, which paired well with the scallops. The scallops were flaky and tender. The jumbo prawn were huge, the avocado wasn't necessary. I ordered the Wagyu ribeye cooked medium rare and the garlic mashed potatoes. My partner ordered the Daniel's filet mignon, cooked medium rare with garlic mashed potatoes. Upon delivery of our steaks , they had us cut into the middle for doneness. My ribeye was delicious, as well as the mashed potato. My partners filet mignon was burnt. Which was unfortunate because the middle was a nice rare. I tried a piece of his filet mignon, and I could smell the burnt steak and it tasted bitter from being burnt. Overall, the scallops, ribeye and mashed potatoes were great. But for the price , it was very very spendy, especially to get a filet mignon that was burnt. read more

So stoked to have Daniel's open on Thanksgiving and the course menu was wonderful and allowed us to relax and enjoy a non-stressed dinner! Our server was totally helpful and made the experience that much better too. For starters they offered a nice relish tray and of course we had a nice bottle of wine - Diet Coke for me as the DD for the night - to go with dinner. The dinner started off with their signature chowder followed by a filet mignon and two New York steaks with their famous garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini. We finished off the night with a couple awesome slices of cheesecakes and a pumpkin pie too. Love the ambiance of the SLU location with a great view of Lake Union and the surrounding cityscape. All in all we'll be back again for Thanksgiving and I'm sure several times in between! A hat tip to Daniel's! read more

No issues with the staff. The spicy chicken sandwich and steak sandwich was too expensive to be so bland. I can't justify the price and quality to come back. read more

Our company rented out one of the private rooms here for a dinner. Drinks were pretty bad here was the consensus of most of my coworkers. My steak was pretty rare despite requesting medium well. Vibes were alright, definitely gives a fancy feeling, but in an old school way. Not sure what a regular dining experience would be like here, but I probably won't be back to try. read more

Daniel's broiler to me is like your classic fancified steakhouse. The ambiance just has that extra oomph due to being situated on the forefront of slu. Don't get me wrong, the views enhance the experience, but where it falls short would be the food itself. I can only judge based off the cocktails, sides and entrees I was able to try. The filet mignon ordered medium rare I received wasn't as succulent as other filets I've had at other locations. The meaty flavor quality was decent but couldn't stand on its own. Definitely needed a supporting cast like the mashed potatoes and broccolini. I actually enjoyed the mashed potatoes. I think the grated Parmesan was a nice touch of funk and flavor. Broccoli had a nice snap/crunch to help with the dynamics of the meal. Dinner rolls were served toasty and warm. Great soft interior with a good solid crust on the outside. The salad was also solid I enjoyed the espresso martini that was made for me. Not a menu item but can request to have it made. The Manhattan was a cocktail menu item better than their old fashion. Overall I would rate this place 3.5-3.8 I do think it warrants a visit because my experience might differ from anyone else's. read more

Daniels broiler is a Seattle staple. But this visit changed that for me. Customer service was lacking and the prices are through the roof. On top of all that, there is a mandatory 20% gratuity for all party sizes. I am just so over Seattle businesses price gouging their customers. It would be one thing if I received elite service and food quality/quantity, but the food isn't anything to write home about. read more

Daniel's Broiler - Lake Union - Bacon wrapped scallops - Steakhouses Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Daniel's has been on my list to explore for some time. The location stands out with the lively view of Lake Union and the piers with the many beautiful boats, and sunsetting sky (in colors) on a clear day/evening. What better day than Christmas Eve? I opted to park in the handicap spot and found that it's a pay by the 2 hour kind of parking lot. Please note, there's some complimentary Daniel's parking down below, so a short walk up an incline. This was aggressively brought to my attention right upon entry into the restaurant, rather than a hello, how are you, or other greeting. -0.5 For two, we were seated in a booth with a view of a table of 6, and the marina. It was great! The lighting was perfect as the sun set, the lights came up a touch but remained quite cozy. The service was quite stellar until the end, though a tad robotic from the main server. Felipe brought bread and still water - he was great! So kind and funny to chat with momentarily. Our main server was very straightforward and efficient. At the end, we felt rushed to leave and were given the leftovers very quickly with a quick "thank you for dining" and after informing us of the "tipping situation" was long gone, never to be seen from again. Kind of rude, given the overpriced food and low maintenance table. For the food - Appetizers: -popcorn shrimp came in a movie style box with foil. Charming!! It was undercooked, so a bit gummy. The sriracha sauce and lemon aioli were divinely fresh and homemade. Could have sent back but it was busy and slow to begin with. Instead of slow, I'd say relaxing. -ahí tuna was incredibly flavored by the grill and very tender and fresh! These are both happy hour specials so I'll be back to have this again in the bar. There's also a main ahi that looks similar so I would potentially try that if I return. Mains: -I tried the Piedmontese filet and it lacked the meaty forward flavor described to me. It was also quite undercooked (rare instead of medium rare). I normally wouldn't mind but it was kind of strange. It came with just a baked potato that was dry. I expected a piece of broccoli or asparagus. I went elsewhere for Christmas and did get just that but not trying to compare here. -My guest enjoyed the lamb and found it to be larger in portion than expected - until he realized it was very fatty. We all know how lamb can be, but I believe this one was on the fattier than usual side. It tasted great and came with mashed potatoes. +side of the creamed corn was good, not a standout but worked well with our dishes. Dessert: crème brûlée was a good size and good. Wine: roerder estate brut for $60 felt like a ripoff. Overall: felt like everything was a touch overpriced, service was good and helpful in understanding the menu for a first timer. Recommendations (lamb and ahi) were superb. Front desk could work on demeanor and outfit choices, one gal could barely breathe and just felt underdressed for the vibe this restaurant gives. Though beautiful, just not what I'd expect to see here. Will I return? Maybe for happy hour, or if someone invites me I would aim for a plate vs a steak. There are better steaks around town that are priced much more competitively than here. read more

Clearly Daniel's is one of the best steakhouses in Seattle. So, obviously that means you get what you pay for, and it is worth every nickel. From food to service to location, it is top notch. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. They were super tasty and tender. I especially enjoyed the chargrilled taste and the simple but perfect seasoning butter. It was so good that the meat tickled my taste buds. My tummy sung with joy. The veggies and appetizers were amazing and also cooked to perfection. The dessert butter cake was heavenly and moist. We arrived at the opening time, so we had this special place to ourselves for an hour. The ambiance was simply amazing with soft music playing in the background. This place gets busy really fast, therefore I always make reservations well ahead of the day I plan to visit. I also commend the staff. They were all professional and attentive and they made a special occasion that much more sweeter. Our main host was Daniel who was so knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations and tended to our every need. Daniel's Lake Union is awesome! I wish I could eat here every single night!! read more

Of course the lake side view is great. Took a lake cruise to the public dock where we were dropped off Good steak house experience. Sides are good, service is very attentive. Steak is cooked well. Standard leather interiors, moody lighting for the right atmosphere read more

So there was a lot here that could have went better, but there was a lot that was good. First, the fact that I, as an adult, cannot order a double bourbon is the dumbest thing EVER!! This took them down to a never come back for me. Then, two of the three of us got a steak for $120 and those ones were not very good, at all. One had to be put back on the fore, then came out like a piece of leather. I got the $80 filet and it was great, but the fact that the other two just weren't good was very disappointing. Carlos did a good job of taking care of us, but got off to a really bad start with the 'we don't do doubles of bourbon, and didn't get much better. read more

We decided to try more steak houses and decided to try Daniel's on Lake Union before catching a show in Seattle. Was over all disappointed to say the least. Bill came to $230 after mandatory/automatic 20% tips. We ordered one glass of mid priced wine, one cocktail, ceasar salad, and 12oz regular filet. $230!!!! Prices are out of control. All of that should easily have been around $180 out the door and should always included parking. The good: Steak was very tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Good flavor and juicy. Service staff were very nice and attentive. Manager was was nice and checked on us. View out the window was nice of the lake/docks. Garlic mashed potatoes were excellent, but I would advertise on the menu they are garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes as the cheese taste (which I love) was very prevalent. The bad: Paid parking is ridiculous when spending this kind of money, there should be some kind parking refund/validation. Our dark and stormy drink had way too much lime juice and was a bit weak for that price point. Wine severely over priced. The Caesar salad was good but no better the a Costco Caesar salad (except the croutons). For the price we paid for the steak, a vegetable and side salad should be easily included. And the ugly: The juice is so not worth the squeeze here. Restaurants really need to get away from this automatic 20% gratuity thing, not sure where that BS came from, but it's not good. Like if we had walked away paying $180, that would have been much more fair for what you overall get. You only get TWO (!!) shrimp for $18!! Also of note, much of the decor/accommodations are getting pretty run down. Wooden table edges all scratched or with many little chips. Chairs handles very neglected, scratches and chips. The leather seating in booths and chairs are obviously very faded and worn. Corner edges of the booths have dark spots from where hands touch to leave the booths (gross). I kept my rating at a generous three stars due to nice staff and the actual steak was good. read more

Attentive service, great views, convenient parking, everything on the menu is delicious! Please remember to pay your parking fee at the reception desk otherwise you'll be surprised with the $62 ticket when you go out to your car after you eat! read more

We went to dinner tonight for the opening of Restaurant Week. I've always enjoy this location for summertime happy hour on the patio, the view is great. Tonight was no different, the food was very good and prepared as requested. The service was above and beyond from the moment we walked in the door. I wish I would have got the name of our server as he was great. They check every steak to make sure it's prepared as ordered. Tony, the general manager, noticed my father was having difficult cutting his steak related to some medical issues. He very politely asked if he could have the chef carve his steak for him. He had it carved and back to the table so fast that we hadn't even started our meals yet. The compassionate and respectful manner in which he addressed the situation will keep us coming back. Thanks Tony, you have a great team there! read more

Amazing food and service, thank you to Kevin and Molly for making our birthday celebration so special!

We went to Daniel's Broiler, after an afternoon on the water and it hit the spot. The restaurant was surprisingly crowded for a Monday evening but we got our table after a short wait at the bar. The service was quick and attentive. My steak was perfectly done and I thought that the server inviting me to cut into it to make sure it met my expectations was a nice touch. The sides were good but none really stood out. The only thing I found odd was how eager the staff seemed to clear the table. In a couple of instances, food that we were still working on disappeared. Overall, it was a great experience and I expect that we will be back. read more

Me and my partner visited for Valentine's Day, and were surprisingly unimpressed. We were expecting a high-end meal, but received an overcooked steak and bland calamari. I would brush it off if this was a $30 to $50 meal, but we paid $300 for a bad appetizer and an average steak. We told our friends and they shared similar stories, Daniel's quality is slipping. I will give credit to the waitstaff and location, both were very nice. read more

Daniel's has been on the Seattle "To Do " list for over 20 years, so I won't leave a negative review I'll just do the neighborly thing and offer the gift of feedback. Service is mediocre at best and if I said the food was Hit or Miss- I would only be telling you a half truth. I was surprised to see the once Grande Dame of SLU has fallen so far behind her competitors, even cosmetically. #schwatzbrothers Please don't let this restaurant become just another part of Seattle's Past. Even the interior is exactly the same as 20 years ago. Heartbreaking read more

OMG First of all let me share this to start I had my wedding reception her and the experience was superb and amazing. The food was so delicious. We had choices of ribeye, lamb chops, salmon and chicken and I had the lobster tail. All were cooked to perfection! Well seasoned as well. The service was exceedingly great. Very patient professional friend and accommodating in all aspects. Our room was lovely, good set up, lovely soft music . All my guests raved and shared they enjoyed themselves and were so pleased! read more

I will start off with the positive first. My server Hailey was amazing. The end. lol Now the negative. I ordered the delmonico and it was cooked medium like I asked , but had absolutely zero flavor. Even with the garlic butter they put on it no flavor at all. I ordered the bake potato, you could tell it was cooked properly once before but apparently didn't sell and it was reheated in the microwave. The potato skin was wet and soggy. Oh the wedge salad was ok but I mean it's a wedge salad. Oh and the icing on the cake which they don't tell you about , they add a 20% service charge onto the bill and they claim all of the money stays with the restaurant and that the staff are paid by the restaurant better wages but feel free to tip more . So you pay the restaurant extremely high prices for sub standard food and then they charge you an additional 20%. I should have read the other reviews before going there and I would have noticed that management doesn't respond to positive or negative reviews. Don't recommend going here there are better places for better prices I'm sure. read more

This is my go to place for a nice happy hour environment. Nice HH prices for food and drink. The drinks are amazing!!

I guess I don't understand the parking lot situation here. I parked, I couldn't get the site to accept payment and walked to restaurant. Then I was told it is often inoperable and if I should return and find a ticket on my car, I could bring the ticket back to the restaurant and they would handle it? That said, we got our meat on for a birthday celebration and things were fine. Temps were good and the food was solid. Staff could have been a bit more friendly, given we were there for a special occasion, but we were fine for the evening. read more

The food is amazing, but it is so expensive not to mention a 20% tip that is added onto the bill that you cannot do anything about. Not to mention there's only like six parking spots otherwise you have to pay for parking on top of it trying to get down to Seattle with the ship canal bridge closure it's just too much. I'm not going back. read more

The restaurant has limited free parking and the parking app you need to use to pay for parking is not user friendly. My six half scallops were rubbery & the sauce was oversalted at a bargain (NOT) price of $60. Michelin prices in a diner setting. Service was hovering and intrusive. We went because my Partner got gift cards for Christmas, and it was still expensive. I will never be back. There are so many other quality restaurants in Seattle, don't waste your time and money. read more

Birthday Celebration! We were seated at a table which faced a service station with cutlery and a computer contained in a metal box. We ordered an appetizer and stressed that we wanted it before our main dishes to enjoy our cocktail. Got to give them credit for fast service, but before we knew it our steaks arrived. Oops, our server forgot to submit our calamari. We were promised a complimentary dessert. We don't eat desserts. Our steaks were meh. My husband's was inedible, full of gristle. The pepper sauce was salty, lacking flavor. Salad filled with yummy ingredients was tasteless. For the amount of money we paid, we were super disappointed. read more

The filet mignon steak strips and beer were solid -- definitely enjoyable. But the mushrooms were pretty mediocre and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. What really left a bad taste, though, was the automatic 20% service charge -- especially after reading the fine print that says 100% of that charge is kept by the restaurant, not the server. That's sketchy. It feels wrong for a restaurant to decide for you how much to tip, not even mention it upfront, and then keep the full amount for themselves. It's a poor customer experience when you're charged something without your consent. read more

A warning to all. Went there for Valentine's Day. We were seated in an area that had clearly been opportunistically converted from a banquet room to a room stuffed with small tables. It was so stuffed I felt like we were sitting with the people next to us. The tables were so small we couldn't open the menus without moving things around. I felt like a child at Thanksgiving who had to sit at the kids table. My wife was bumped in to three times before we discussed leaving or asking for a new table. We ended up asking for a new table as it was Valentine's Day and we knew there would nothing but fast food available that night. In short, the food was good, the service was so extremely watered down we felt abandoned , the ambiance was worse than a cafeteria while the price was the same (expensive), with a mandatory 20% tip. If you're going to flood your floor with extra tables do NOT expect your diners to happily paying full price for a discounted experience. Also, we parked in front, asked the staff if the spot was OK (I literally pointed out car out to them), they said it was perfectly fine where it was parked, and we came out after the bad dinner to a ticket. They said "sorry, it's Seattle and not us. I explained to the manager that the staff ok'd the specific spot and I got nothing! This was a $340 night that left us feeling taken advantage of, deceived, unappreciated and played. read more

Let's just start with the fact our bill was 800.00 plus tip for two people. I knew this was an expensive place which is fine but it should be an outstanding meal, and it was not. Our drinks included 2 glasses of wine and 3 cocktails. My daughter got the wagu steak and I got the bone in ribeye Oscar style. Pros: Nice booth for 2 Server was very nice Nice view Good bacon wrapped scallops Good Brussel sprouts Cons: The meat was oversalted. The Oscar sauce was seriously oversalted. The lobster mashed "upgrade" cost $18 each...I was expecting to see some lobster chunks Ok fine none but then they tasted bland. When the server brought out our steaks it was like she already knew they were undercooked and stood there saying cut them open to see if they are cooked right. Fine. Nope..on the raw side. She apologizes and returns with a Mgr who puts the new plates down in front of us asking we cut these open...it felt intimidating to day the least....not the experience we were hoping for. They were cooked right on the outside but inside they were overcooked. We gave up at that point. I relied on Open Tables 5 star reviews. I really wish I would have checked Yelp. This place would be good for cocktails and appetizers. Skip the steaks. read more

Here's an improved version of your review for better readability and clarity: "The food was, as always, outstanding, and the ambiance was great. We visited for a New Year's Eve dinner and everything was going well--until just before midnight. Two minutes before the countdown, we received our dessert and asked if we could step outside to watch the fireworks. The staff asked us to leave our card as a precaution due to previous walkouts, which we did. However, when the fireworks ended, we found the doors locked and struggled to get back inside. To make matters worse, the waitress had already packed up our desserts and removed my glass of wine. This was not how I wanted to start the new year! The manager eventually offered to have our desserts remade at the table, but by that point, the damage was done. The experience left us all with a bitter taste. As leaving I went to the toilet, there was no toilet paper and looked trashed...very unusual. It's truly disappointing to have such an unfortunate experience at Daniel's, especially on a special occasion like New Year's Eve, read more

This place is a good special occasion place. The food is excellent and the service is superior. The parking situation is confusing and the pay by phone process different than most other parking lots. Leave extra time for this nonsense. The booths are good for two people or two adults and two kids. For four adults it is very crowded. So ask in advance to not be in a booth if you're a party of 4. Otherwise this place is a good place to go if you're not thinking about the price tag for your dinner. read more

Hi, folks. Here I am tonight at Daniel's Broiler on south lake union in Seattle Washington. Had a wonderful dinner tonight celebrate my nephews college graduation. Not a low end place by any means.

Maybe this review will help their stars. Been to Daniels many times and it's extremely pricey but you know this going into it. So expect to drain your wallet! We ordered it all! From drinks to dinner. We pretty much rolled outta there cause we ate so much. We had a nice table overlooking the water. Can't go wrong with SLU views. The service was great as expected and nothing to complain about. The filet mignon was perfect and just the way I like it. The ahi tuna was the best dish and I want to say it out beat the steak for me. I'll go back and sit at the bar just for that dish. We also got salads but didn't get a picture. The Brussels sprouts were too sweet so that was the only complaint but everything else was a delight. read more

Just don't! Total rip-off in terms of value. Was compelled to go at the request of a birthday celebrant. A small steak was over $100.00 and average in taste according to him. For the price, it should have been a sublime experience. Most galling was the imposed 20% service charge which was not disclosed on the bar menu that two of us ordered from. It was written on the dinner menu which was not what two of us used. We are locals and I would estimate that the experience was about 100% overpriced for value received. And the imposed 20% with sales tax on top of it was a total surprise. I did not want to force the issue on the items ordered off the bar menu and as a personal protest I will never go to a place that imposes a service charge. It was my intent to tip 10% on the pre-tax bill given the over-priced entree. Having just returned from Europe where tips are not a thing, I was especially off-put by the experience. Only by collective action by diners, will we ever stand the chance of aborting the abuse of diners financially. From looking at other reviews I see that mine is not an outlier. There are so many better options in the area and city. read more
