Daniels, A Florida Steakhouse - (Near Fort Lauderdale, FL)

5 /5 Dan Boback: I’m not sure what else can be said that hasn’t already, but in our experience, dinner at Daniel’s on 1/6/26 was absolute perfection, and may have been the best dinner I’ve ever enjoyed in my life. Just a terrific choice of appetizers and we selected the burrata with fresh tomatoes. Absolutely stellar and off the charts delicious. Wish I had taken a photo because the presentation was equally perfect as the dish itself. The main selections were difficult to make. But we ultimately chose the Wagyu filet and the regular 8oz filet. Both were superb, and the Wagyu was perhaps the most delicious cut of steak I’ve ever had, and yes, I’ve been to Sizzler. We enjoyed the truffle mashed potatoes as our side, and then topped it all off with the skillet cookie that was simply unreal. Felipe, our server (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly) did a fantastic job and was full of information on everything on the menu. He respectfully suggested I change my original selection to the Wagyu and I’m incredibly happy he did. We love visiting upper end steakhouses across the country and Daniel’s is currently at the top of that list. We will return to Fort Lauderdale just to have dinner here again. Kudos to ownership, management and a great kitchen staff on such a fine establishment.

5 /5 Andreina Zambrano: From the moment we arrived, Daniel’s Fl Steakhouse exceeded every expectation. The valet service was impeccable two polite and very professional Latino gentlemen welcomed us with warmth and courtesy, setting the tone for a truly special evening. I loved how the experience begins even before stepping inside, with that elegant and attentive service that makes you feel genuinely valued. We were seated in a beautiful spot the table was perfect, and the atmosphere was the ideal balance between relaxed and vibrant. Our server was wonderful, taking the time to guide us through the menu and share his recommendations. I started with a margarita that was simply delicious. We shared bao buns and meatballs, both full of flavor and perfectly prepared. My husband ordered a steak I tried a bite and it was absolutely divine, cooked to perfection. I chose the rigatoni Bolognese, a classic Italian pasta that was comforting and full of authentic flavor. Everything we tried was outstanding from the presentation to the flavors and the overall experience. Daniel’s offers elegance, warmth, and a refined dining atmosphere that makes you want to come back again soon. Highly recommended a true gem in Fort Lauderdale.

5 /5 Bryn Berkowitz: The easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Finally Fort Lauderdale has a true fine dining experience. The attention to detail is second to none when it comes to the service. When I was sat, I was offered a black napkin instead of their standard white due to my dark colored outfit, and they also offered me a shawl in case I was cold. I have never seen such considerate service in any restaurant in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. They noticed when I placed my bag on the booth and immediately brought over a bag hook for the table. This area boasts plenty of fine dining restaurants with price points on the menu that are similar to Daniel‘s, if not more expensive. But none of them have set themselves apart in the realm of service nearing what Daniel’s had done last night. We chose to go here because so many people have told us that it was a great restaurant, and we decided to try it out to celebrate a birthday. It could not have made the night feel more special. And I can also appreciate the relationship that the restaurant has with the farms from which it procures its food. We enjoyed everything we had and would highly recommend the Florida burrata, the crabcake, and the milk bread for starters. The truffled potato fonduta was out of this world; there’s no way we can’t order that the next time we eat here. The portion sizes are generous, we were left with plenty to take home with us. And the banana bread for dessert is a must have! We were surprised when our server, Doug, told us it was gluten free. You never would have known and it’s nice to have an inclusive item on the dessert menu. Only two suggestions. First, (and I’m aware it’s a steakhouse, so you get what you sign up for) would be that there is little variety for an entree outside of beef or red meat. With only a couple of fish options, I’d love to see another dish like a porkchop on the menu as well. Second, the music choice stood out in an odd way for us; I expected maybe some light music or even live music but were surprised to be listening to pop music, like She Wolf by Shakira, when having a nice dinner. If live music could ever be incorporated into the restaurant, I think Daniel’s would be the pinnacle of fine dining (it’s basically already there). Outside of that, Doug was attentive and knowledgeable. We were made to feel welcomed and special. And we will certainly be back to try a few other menu items that piqued our interest. Of course, we will be telling people they need to try Daniel’s for themselves. Thank you for a truly memorable and exceptional experience

5 /5 Jojo F: 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 sidenote 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!

5 /5 Gia R: Such an amazing place to go out to. Not only do they have a fine dining steak house but they also have a very nice sports bar ! The steak house is so good, Its an intimate experience and everything was so good, the filet is tender and good quality. The lobster Mac is chefs kiss and the twice baked potato is a fan favorite. They even have a soft serve machine for a topping on your dessert It is alittle chilly in there but rest assured they hand out shaws while you dine so ur comfortable. The Cesar salad is also very authentic they even use white anchovies which makes It even better. Our whole experience was amazing Kassandra was so helpful getting us in for a birthday reservation and all our waiters were so kind and professional
