"Daniel" Manhattan, New York, 10021 I am very fortunate that this was my second visit to the famous French master chef Daniel Bouluds restaurant in NY. The first was undoubtedly memorable but the second was even more so. The beautiful dining room has a quiet buzz which was full of beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes....... and as for the food - undeniably excellent in every aspect as was the Professional service of the staff who tended to our every need. 10/10

I was lucky enough to be able to secure a booking so we could enjoy a wonderful meal for our last night in New York. The service was attentive without being intrusive and the meal was simply spectacular. I was spoilt for choice of dishes, I eventually gave in to the delightful seabass with shiraz jus. The extensive winelist is a little very expensive but, the selection does include more affordable selections. I highly recommend this venue and will certainly visit again during my next trip.

I'm not even sure where to begin?! We arrived, post-Broadway, at 10.45pm to a full, buzzing restaurant. It looked gorgeous and we felt very privileged as we descended into the main restaurant from the swanky Upper East Side street above. The service was unfailingly helpful and friendly; we immediately felt like old friends. The food was... beyond description. From the amuses bouches to the after-dessert truffles (homemade), everything was delicious. Not cheap, but worth every penny!!!
