Great for Wilson standards. Few good places to eat, and this is one. I don't think I've had anything I disliked.

Best Reuben sandwich ever! Wine was delicious and prices are great. The wait staff was friendly and helpful.

So happy to have found this gem for an early dinner. Service was great! Great selection of wines and food delicious! Definite repeat!! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. Socially distanced of course! read more

Went on wednesday night 6:30. Was full so glad we made reservations we were on time and table was ready for us. They have put in some nice partitions between tables that are great isolation from others. Wednesday is half price wine night enjoyed a great bottle of wine for 12 dollars. The shrimp cocktail was perfectly cooked. Manhattan clam chowder was fantastic and we shared a shrimp and grits. The grit cake was crispy and flavorful with big shrimp and sauce over top. I will definetly be back read more

Have been here several times now, just keep forgetting to post a review because the food makes me forget about everything else! Daniel's is fine dining that won't break the bank and without the stuffiness that usually goes with it. Everything we've had has been great. I have to recommend the duck - perfectly cooked and the sauce is just the right pairing. But don't skip the specials- if the rosemary crusted lamb is offered, go for it!!! One of the best executions I've had. And if you like foie gras, their's is spot on. The staff is excellent and very friendly. They definitely make you feel right at home. This has become my wife's and my date night location. read more

The food was amazing and the customer service was great. Everything was fresh and delicious in the pasta and the bread was amazing! Thumbs up read more

Great menu excellent food Everyone is friendly/helpful my go to place for cocktails and food

Tried to dine at Daniels on a busy Friday night. We stood at the hostess desk for over nine minutes without anyone acknowledging us. We decided that our business would be more appreciated elsewhere. Sorry the hostess was too busy talking with her friends to actually do her job. read more

Excellent. The name says it all. Casual fine dining. Great service from Savanna and the food was perfect. We had the pork chops and ribeye steak, no complaints. Put this on your list. read more

Great service! The young woman that served us was outstanding (joyeux lundi - go to France!) Good food and wine. I had the filet and it was definitely angus beef as advertised. Well prepared, good risotto and asparagus. Hubs had crab cakes that were good. The only downside - there was a bad smell when we walked in. I almost left but we got used to it and glad we stayed. I hope they fix that. read more

We had a large group dinner ~ 25 people and we preordered from 4 entrees choices. Once we were seated, we order a few bottles of wine and appetizers came out pretty quick. The service was a little disorganized, not everyone got drinks and food came out at different times. I got the pecan crusted chicken which had green beans and mashed potatoes. It was very good and I pretty much cleared my plate. Others got the shrimp and grits which looked fantastic, I would have gotten that if I wasn't allergic to shellfish. read more

It sounds pretty snobbish but initially I thought "Wilson? A great (not bbq) restaurant in Wilson?" But the reviews were good, so on a trip from Wake Forest to Greenville we stopped for dinner. Why can't some places get SIX stars? Or how about 5 Stars Plus? This little place was amazing, I'd give it six stars. Lots of polished wood, with neat screens in between the tables. Made for a cozy private dinner. The food was amazing. We went with another couple and each of our entrees were superb, absolutely superb. My wife had a pear martini that was ungodly good. Emily took amazing care of us and she was delightful. Wonderful genuine smile, attentive without being pushy. I could not have been more impressed with this gem of a restaurant. We can't wait to go back! read more

If I could give 0 stars, it would be more appropriate than even 1 star. While the food at the restaurant has been exceptional over the years, good luck even being able to taste it. I arrived as a party of 1 just before 6pm. The hostess started going through the reservations for 6:30pm, 6:45pm, and 7pm and hem and hawed about even seating me. There was 1 person on the patio, and few cars in the lot. However, the "possibility" of others showing up 45 min to an hour after I did prevented me even being seated. So moral of the story - Walk INs are NOT allowed if this hostess is at the door. Horrible! Good luck staying in business when you won't seat a customer who chooses to stop to eat at your establishment. They may never return. Doubtful I ever will. Sad since I know and respect some members of the owner's family. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is consistent and the food is also great. May I recommend the asparagus bundles, angel hair pasta, and cajun chicken and pasta. read more

Excellent experience, food very good as well as the service. Great Brisket fajitas and key lime pie.

Went to WIlson from Farmville for a nice dinner. Daniels was available for outdoor dining so we took it. After looking at the menu we decided on the Filet Mignon and the Duck Breast. While waiting for our order we enjoyed teh scallops over creamed corn. The meal was fantastic BUT our server was a let down of the whole meal. She apologied repeatedly for forgetting to place our order and we ended up waiting for over 45 minutes after our appetizer for our entree. No compensation just a lot of apologizing. Very disappointed that we were not better compensated for a wait that was entirely the waitress error. Not sure if we will return and be forced to wait excessive time even though the meal was excellent. read more

This is the second time I've visited Daniels. I was not happy the first time, but decided to give it a second chance. Honestly, I would have been better off at McDonalds. At least Mickey D's get you food fast and with good service. My colleague and I waited 1 1/2 hours for our food, and just when I had given up, they came running out with our meals. Personally I'm not sure why the table next to us received bread- we did not, cocktails were another long wait, and I was so disappointed with the entire experience, I left without even eating my dinner. Walking out and being offered "fish to go" at $24.00+, I think I'll pass, not only this time, but anytime in the future. I'll have a fish sandwich, fries and a shake- at least I know I'll get my food. NEVER again. First time, bad- second time, substantially worse. 5 thumbs down! read more

This is a good restaurant, and it is worth the try. The restaurant is esthetic by its simplicity. The bread is warm and very good. They have only one choice of soup, but it was really tasty. Furthermore, salads are really pretty and good. Overall, the food is excellent, the presentation is good, and the service is nice. However, the restaurant is fairly expensive if one doesn't want to eat a salad. read more

Sent question by email and received a prompt reply. Made reservations for our 16th wedding anniversary. Arrived on time and was promptly seated by courteous host and greeted immediately by really wonderful server. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Food was excellent. Well plated and delicious. Now for the god part. The question that I asked in the email was that since this was our wedding anniversary could they do something special for desert such as a little cake. Well they did, it was just a wonderful touch. A memorable experience. We have been there before and we will be back. read more

The staff a Daniels was kind enough to squeeze us in on Saturday evening and it was well worth it. We sat at high top in the bar area. Our server was busy but very attentive. The food came pretty quickly and was perfect. I would say that the restaurant is casual fine dining and look forward to our next visit. read more

Daniel's is consistently excellent. The service is impeccable, the food is delicious and imaginative, and the craft beer selection accommodates all palettes. Daniel's is the only restaurant we go to regularly that has never misstepped, and we go every couple of weeks. Wilson's fine dining landscape is sparse at best. It's nice to find water in the desert, and Daniel's serves that purpose well. read more

I heard about this place a couple of months ago and honestly, it was time for me to have fine dining in Wilson. My last and I did our research because we made plans to visit on her birthday, which was 7-28. We made a reservation of 5 for 6pm. Let me be honest, I didnt give a DUCK about anything else on the menu but the pan seared duck with cranberry port sauce. Yummy! We walked in on time and was seated almost immediately. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu details. Again, I just wanted the duck. The inside was nice, the chairs were sturdy which is always great for me and the temperature was great as well. While we waited on our food, we were served hot bread with some kind of hot oil for dipping. I order a small Caesar salad. We all ordered the sweet tea. I thought the tea had way too much ice in the glasses to the point that it wasnt tea anymore. Yuck! Our entrees came out 15 minutes later than they should have been out. People came in after we sis and got their food earlier. Shame on you Daniel's Casual Fine Dining. The food finally came out and the duck was so good. They came with small potatoes instead of them being mashed. I crushed it anyway. There are groups of duck just roaming around my property every day. They better find somewhere else to hang out because they just may be my nextduck dish. Overall a great experience. I will visit again. read more

I love dining at Daniel's. The staff is friendly and truly care about their guests. The food is always awesome and Daniel always puts together creative and delicious specials. They offer the best soups in Wilson, always scrumptious! My favorite place to enjoy lunch or a great dinner. read more

The food here wasn't too bad. I think the combination of mac & cheese with a ribeye is a little odd. I just assumed the mac & cheese was awesome, but nope, it's below average. The steaks were cooked well and taste pretty good. All in all it was a good experience. Our waitress could've been more attentive. read more

Daniel's Casual Fine Dining was a wonderful discovery in Wilson, NC. I love quaint chef owner restaurants and Daniel's did not disappoint. We started our meal with Panko encrusted Oysters with a spicy lemon aioli. My husband had the mahi mahi special of the day. I was thrilled with my pork tenderloin medallions stuffed with sundried tomatos, gorganzola, basil, and walnuts. The shallot cream and balsamic reduction we both beautiful and delicate. Our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. LOVED this place and will certainly be returning. read more

The shrimp and grits were excellent! Nice taste with fried grits on top. The ran out of sweet tea mid dinner which was disappointing. Overall, very nice little find in Wilson NC! read more

It was a great experience, I've lived in Wilson all my life and have never been before. Someone who lived out of state took me there on a date. read more

We love Daniels! Customer service is always wonderful! The food is delicious! My favorite is the pork chop with brandied apples, potatoes & green beans! read more

So we went with a group of my bridesmaids and were turned away at the door because they didn't like a girl with us. No scene, just wanted to grab drinks and Mel was the nastiest, rudest interaction I've ever had at a restaurant. I highly suggest anywhere else in Wilson. read more

Love Daniel's! I generally have the Pan Seared Duck with cranberry port sauce when we go for dinner. It's awesome! All I would change about the meal is add some butter to the mashed potatoes. The Grilled RibEye is tender and tasty like a steak should be. No added sauce is needed. Again the only thing would change is add some butter to the mashed potatoes. Oh! The blue cheese and apple salad is a must!!! Don't pass it up. Sometimes I go at lunch just for this salad. The cost is comparable to many of the chain steak houses but the food is sooooo much better. Its casual dress so you can go in a nice pair of shorts and shirt. The service is really good and there is a covered patio for having a relaxed meal. Go, just go. read more

Got a side salad plus a crab cake with a side of sweet potato fries for a quick semi healthy meal and it was delicious!! I would go back for crab cakes for sure - YUM. read more

We went here for dinner, and the first thing you will notice is the mood that is set. It's a calm setting that provides a professional theme. Their menu is a bit on the small side, and may not satisfy everyone. They have full blown entrees and smaller dishes. I had the BBQ Brisket Quesadilla. It was an interesting meal to be sure, but I found that the barbecue sauce they used along with the sheer amount of it masked the flavor if everything else. It was satisfying nonetheless. For desert I had the fried cheesecake (for those who abuse their cheat days). It was stand out in the fact it didn't have the aftertaste that often accompanies fried food. The waitstaff is kind and attentive, they are easy to work with in the event of a problem. All in all, I would definitely return. Although future visits may be limited simply by their small menu, running out of things to try is a definite concern for regular customers. read more

Daniels is my go-to place when I want great food, atmosphere, and want to be treated like a Queen! So of course I go there a lot because I want that all the time! I have used their meeting room too, and they took great care of me, and turned my small meeting into an event. Their efforts, was a positive influence on my clients, and reflected me as a smart business woman for holding my meeting at Daniels. Patty Holt pbBETAR read more

Excellent food and service. That says it all. Wait staff very cordial and knowledgeble of menu. Atmosphere great. All that might be added is a little violin or Mantovani music in quiet background. read more

Please check your bank account before you leave bill came to table and I was writing in tip realized something was off on balance of gift card I used....went to website to check it my card was already charged a 20% gratuity a party of 2...when I asked the waitress also manager they swore they could not explain it why it did that they said ticket was not closed out until we signed it that they ran it for the amount show ed on receipt, if the amount wasn't exactly 20% I might have believed it....Had I not checked the waitress would have pocketed a $20.00 tip, Food was good but don't take my money without my permission.... read more

We went for lunch and the menu is simple and has some good choices. I got the Rueben with a side salad, wife got a burger, they were great. This place looks like it would be great for dinner also with several beers some craft on tap. The atmosphere is nice, maybe some small changes with table placement would be a recommendation. Overall great experience! read more

The food is awesome! I have eaten there numerous times and it is always delicious. The the appearance of the food is so inviting. My favorite is the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. My husband loves the Sea Bass. You really need to go and try Daniel's. read more
