Excellent experience at this steakhouse! Visiting my daughter at college and she was in the mood for a good steak so we decided to go here. It started off when I walked in…somehow they knew my name even though it was my first time there. We were seated right away and then greeted by our extremely nice and competent waitress named Kim. Kim was literally one of the nicest waitresses I’ve ever had in my life. She made sure everything was perfect. We had the Sicilian steamers and New York strip. The clams were great and the steaks were cooked perfectly. I mean literally perfectly. To top off this excellent experience I received a call from the owner Charlie just to check in and make sure everything went well. This is the type of old school service that you cannot find these days. This place is a gem and I can’t wait to go again. Highly recommend!

Excellent food and outstanding service in a quaint bistro atmosphere. Wonderful wine list as well.

Our server, Misty, was wonderful! So was the owner, Charlie! The meal (specifically the steak) could not have been better!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Delicious food, incredible servers and a lovely owner! If I am ever in the area I will definitely be returning. Got the NY strip and prime rib they were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, can't recommend this place enough!

We had a group of 7 last night. 6 had never been to Daniella’s before. We were celebrating a couple retirements and a birthday. Morgan our server was amazing. Charlie, the owner was so very nice, made us all feel like family. Made sure our evening was perfect. We had a mix of beef, seafood and Italian and everyone agreed it was the best meal ever!! Everything was cooked and presented perfectly! House made deserts were way on point as well. Amazing!! Thank you to the entire staff for making our night very special!! Sherry, Sis, Dee, Sue, Kit, Pat and Vickie.

We had a to-go order from here of salads, steaks, chicken marmalade and sides. Family thought it was great. The steak was nice, great sear/char and perfect cook inside

We went to celebrate a special occasion and the service was top notch. Easily the most attentive I've seen in the Syracuse area. Charlie Roman (owner) came over to check on us on multiple occasions, offered us a free sampling of some sweet breads they're considering adding to the menu and even called my wife the day after the reservation to say thank you for coming in and to confirm the service was satisfactory. What modern restaurant calls their reservations the next day to follow up? Absolute pure class move by Charlie. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

Excellent service. Our server was Kim and she was nothing short of amazing! The food was plenty and outstanding in flavor. Save room for dessert!

Amazing steaks, Great atmosphere, super people. I love this place. Charlie does a great job. Get the Almond butter pound cake, probably the best desert I have ever had. Best steak in CNY

The most friendliness and warm welcoming atmosphere. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly faces. The food is amazing. Our server Ally was amazing and so helpful. Making our first experience here lovely. The owner is so kind and generous. He kept checking on us and making sure we were having a good time. We plan on coming back for our anniversary. It’s so refreshing how nice and understanding the staff is.

We were their for our 10 year Wedding anniversary dinner it was our 1st time at Danielle's and the owner Charlie and Waitress Kim went above and beyond. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back soon.

This is an amazing steakhouse!!! The service is perfect and all the food was outstanding. I am so happy to eat here and will definitely come again when visiting the area or passing through!

We received first class service from Michael at our dinner with eight people. The ribeye mashed potatoes and iceberg wedge were all delicious. They surprised us with the pyrotechnic dessert for our valedictorian who just graduated. This was my first time here and I will definitely be coming again. Update just went again and we were waited on by Jeff. Impeccable service, excellent 20 oz. Ribeye, wild rice, and an iceberg wedge with blue cheese. Best steaks in Syracuse.

Its a little small inside but WOW. was the food amazing. Seriously the best place we've ever been to. Our waiter was the best I've ever had and the food was incredible. If you're a beef lover HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Yesterday my family and I went to Daniella’s Steakhouse and it was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The owner even came out to greet tables and personally held the door for me and my son as we left, which was such a thoughtful touch. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Went to the fair today and had to stop and show our love for Daniella’s steakhouse. This place is unrivaled in the Syracuse area. Top notch service with impeccable food, waitstaff and ambiance. Charlie does it right! You’re not a guest when you go to Daniella’s, your family! We will go here time and time again and tell everyone we know that it’s the best little steakhouse around!

Fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff. The price was on the higher end but expected given the premium experience. This was my first time going and I will definitely return!

My wife and 2 kids(7&4) went for my birthday this past weekend for my birthday. I tried to call and make a reservation however the phone was busy. Someone called me back within 5 minutes since they saw the missed call and they set up my reservation no problem. When we got there the staff was so nice and accommodating. My 4 year old was obsessed with the birthday candle they do when she saw it brought to another table an asked for one. We told her we would need to wait until after dinner but our waiter brought one out for her anyways which was so kind. He brought both kids Sherly temples so they could feel fancy too since my wife and I had wine. The food was incredible as always. My 7 year old after she took her first bite of steak said “wow, this is powerfully good.” The entire time was so nice and inviting. The cherry on top I think though, on Monday I got a phone call from someone so they could say thank you again for dining with them. That is a level of service you just don’t see anymore. Truly grateful for the staff making my birthday such a great day. They went above and beyond. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!

Wow! What an amazing experience, my waitress was amazing, the food was perfect and the cozy , chique atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. The prices are insane for how good the food is I have spent way more for way less. The best part though was when the next day I got a call from the restaurant thanking me for dinning with them! Above and beyond any restaurant I have ever been to.Thank you so much Daniella's for making my husband birthday great❤️

This is a perfect date restaurant, low lighting, jazz playing, intimate setting, and great food. The meal starts with fresh warm bread with a honey butter, so good it would be easy to fill up on. I got the French Onion Soup to start , the onions could have spent a little more time caramelizing but the broth was fantastic. The main dish was the cowboy cut, 72oz of beef. It was lightly seasoned but was very well cooked, it was ordered medium rare and it came out perfect. Not pictured was the desert, I had the pecan pie and that was the best dish of the night. I almost never get desert at restaurants but I get it every time here. Overall it was a great evening and I will be back.

Another fantastic meal at Daniella’s last night! My husband ordered the Poseidon's Adventure (two tenderloins with shrimp and scallops) which he loved, and I had a tenderloin with a very large baked potato! The portions were so big there was no way I could even eat half of it! We love their food and take my octogenarian parents there often. The food is very consistent…you always know your order will be excellent. Plus the atmosphere is fun and intimate, and the staff is so friendly! I love that they are constantly helping each other out and making sure we are having the best experience! Make sure you make a reservation…it’s always full! Oh..I almost forgot their cocktails…very delicious!

Unbelievably good. Quite possibly the best steak I've ever had. I had the 16oz boneless steak au poivire and it was so tender and and full.of flavor. Nearly melted in my mouth. For my appetizer I had the poutine. The serving was generous and the fries were crisp not soggy underneath the gravy. And the service... The bartender Jeff provided some of the best service I've ever had. Without a doubt one of the top places in Syracuse and I highly recommend a visit when you are in the area.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner and drinks! We had a 50 oz monster of a steak and sirloin tips with a baked potato. Everything was cooked perfectly and service was great!

I gave a 5 star review because the food was fantastic. I was here 2 years ago and the amount of mushrooms, and chicken filled the plate. I was looking forward to more mushrooms. If the food wasn't so good, I would have given it 4 stars.

Amazing food all around, restaurant is very small though causing it to be a rather tight space with a lot of tables. Would definitely call to reserve a spot if you plan on checking it out. Steaks, appetizers and desserts were all 10/10 though

I’ve had the pleasure of dining here a few times and this past weekend my boyfriend and I went to celebrate my birthday. Everything was amazing, the service and food. The owner was stopping and checking in on guests and the server was incredibly attentive. Even setting my leftovers aside due to the size of the table. It being small you didn’t have to shout to have a conversation which was such a nice change. We never felt rushed or that our server was not attentive and I wish I could remember her name.

Daniella’s Steakhouse is by far my favorite restaurant in Syracuse. The food and staff are amazing and Charlie always takes care of us. I will be back next time in I’m town.

I hardly ever leave reviews, but this place is one of a kind. We came for my boyfriend’s birthday and were absolutely blown away by the fantastic service from waitstaff, delicious food and the overall romantic, intimate vibe of the restaurant. I have been living in the Syracuse area my whole life and am sad I didn’t come here sooner!! Will now be our go-to date night spot. Thank you to everyone who made our night so special!!

First time visiting- service was amazing, food was indescribable and portions are more than enough. We celebrated our anniversary and the staff took the time to make note. We will definitely be back!

This was our first time in a long time dining at Daniella's. We were happily greeted when we got there, the waitress was delightful, the food was delicious and the owner Charlie Roman came to our table and greeted us and welcomed us, the next day he called to make sure we had had a good time and enjoyed our food. class act!

High end steakhouse. We didn't have a reservation so we're seated at a Hightower served by the bartender. The bar was busy but he took our order right away and food delivery was hot when it got to the table. Food was fresh and very good. Took a bit to get our check but the man was busy so can't fault him for that. All the staff were great!

Great place,relaxing atmosphere, full of wonderful staff, that made you feel welcome. The owner personally came and checked on us to make sure everything was good and that we were enjoying ourselves. A sense of friendship and caring that's all but forgotten in today restaurants.

My husband and I have been going to Daniella’s the last few Saturdays! Top notch, first class everything! Staff, food, drinks, ambiance! Charlie is the epitome of a local business owner! He knows how to do everything right! Will continue to be our Saturday date night spot!

The staff was very attentive and friendly. Our meals were excellent! It is a great place to go and celebrate our wedding anniversary. Highly recommend! Did not take photos of our meals. Oops.

Dinner was great and served with appropriate time spacing between drinks, apps, main course and desserts. I feel that the scallops were cooked perfectly and the veal was prepared wonderfully. The poseidon adventure added to the veal wasn't necessarily worth it. It wasn't bad but perhaps it pairs better with a steak. Over all, the waitress was wonderful and made the experience that much better. She was down to earth and very experienced. Overall I'd recommend this place as a solid option for a 1st class meal. You'll need reservations. It's a pretty small place in high demand.

First time and it was an amazing visit. The food and service was great. Jeff is a tremendous waiter and made us feel very accommodated.

Phenomenal service! First time out since the pandemic hit in 2020, and Daniela's did not disappoint. The food was delicious--the sirloin special was cooked just right, service was on point, and overall we had amazing time. It was an anniversary dinner, so the dessert (chocolate mousse cake--so good!) arrived with a "bright" surprise, as well :)

We were lucky to get a table as walk ins. Reservations recommended. Food and service was top notch and all of us enjoyed our meals which included one meat, one chicken and one seafood meal. Onion soup and Crab cakes were better than average. Steak and Chicken Francais were perfect.

+1

The food was delicious! We ordered the Delmonico and the daily special grilled prime rib. I asked for the delmonico to be on the rarer side and it was cooked just how I liked it. The prime rib came with a generous topping of delicious mushroom sauce. Both steaks had great flavor and texture.

Reservation Recommended. The restaurant have option for Patio and indoor eating. I would highly recommend for Patio with natural light. In door is a bit dark but the atmosphere is very warm and romantic/high end. Food quality: fast service, make sure asking for SPECIALS. Those are special items off the menu that you wont find. We ordered Shrimp Scampi and 18-20oz of NY strip Prime cut (from Special menu). Seasoning is very good on the steak. Medium Rare through out the steak. Sautéed Mushroom is also very good We also had cocktails. The bill was under $100 for two which is very affordable for the quality. Highly recommended.

My husband and I went out for dinner, thinking I had made a reservation for Saturday night. When we arrived, I realized the reservation was actually for Sunday! Despite the mix-up and the restaurant being incredibly busy, Charlie, the owner, was so friendly and understanding. He assured us he would find us a table, and we were happy to enjoy a drink at the bar while we waited. The bartender, Jeff, was fantastic, he was not only quick and efficient but also warm and personable, making us feel right at home. Just as we finished our drinks, our table was ready. Our server, Amanda, was equally wonderful. She was attentive, cheerful, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. And the food? Absolutely incredible! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, even with the unexpected reservation hiccup. We can’t wait to come back!

Amanda Short (little blond lady) was our waitress and she was amazing. Great personality, kind, polite, helpful and fun!! We were there for our 31st anniversary and it was special. Our favorite place to eat.

We went to Daniella's after a few recommendations from friends. We had been wanting to go for years actually. So, we went there for a birthday. It was fabulous overall. The table was ready when we got there (early) and our waitress, Misty, was absolutely wonderful. She came and checked on us without pressure to "get in and out" but was always there when we needed a drink, water or anything. She was pleasant and we really enjoyed her company and conversation. Then of course the owner Charlie came around and talked to us about 3 or 4 times making sure everything was just right! Turns out we live very close to him. The balance of the staff was hustling the entire night. We also saw some friends there which made it even more fun. We couldn't recommend this place more. It is small but the atmosphere was casual, nice and friendly. Also, plenty of parking! Then of course there was the food. Truly amazing! The filets were listed as 8oz but I believe were closer to 12oz. Cooked perfectly and the mushroom demi-glaze was really tasty! Can't wait to return!

This past Saturday was the first time my sister in law and I dined there. It was the most incredible experience. The staff was fantastic. Our waitress Misty was great . The food was to die for. Charlie was very personable. We will definitely be back!

We celebrated our daughter and daughter-in-law’s birthday. The restaurant was so accommodating and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was absolutely delicious. Some ordered beef, others pasta, and others seafood. No complaints at all. Good sized portions and fresh produce. Thought we were all to stuffed for dessert but had to order that and share between us. They brought a huge sparkler with dessert as it was the ladies’ birthday. Awesome!! Highly, highly recommend for adults, teens, and older children. Eating alone? You can order at the bar.

Food is absolutely wonderful. Service was better than I could imagine. Our server Misty was very accommodating. The restaurant owner, Charlie, stopped at our table several times to chat. We are from Rochester and we took a chance and will definitely be back.

Everything about this restaurant is 5 star quality. The food is perfectly presented and delicious...the staff efficient, welcoming, and professional, the atmosphere is exactly what you'd love for any occasion! We were there for a birthday celebration w a vegetarian family member who LOVED the lobster roll (also my favorite)! Dessert was ON POINT! Drinks/wine/beer also many choices. Thank you for making our evening special!! (Pics include Chicken Fraincais, Pork Chop, Prime Rib)

Great steakhouse. It's in the Best Western down the road from the NYS fair. Amazing service, thank you Lexie. Food was fabulous. Definitely worth checking out. Try the almond cake. Would absolutely recommend. Worth every penny. They take reservations, but fortunately they were slow and we were able to walk in. We stayed at the hotel.

Daniella is a great place. The food was excellent, and the service was on point. Our server Ms. Amanda was attentive and helped us to decide from the menu. The bread, oh my goodness was delicious with the butter ((bread lover). And desert was to die for, lol 😂! The only thing my coffee was a little bit cold and I like my coffee really hot but otherwise, everything was great and the ambiance was very soft and cozy which I really like. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for a great steak at a good price, THIS IS IT. DONT sleep on the fact that it’s in a Best Western…..it’s incredible. A cute, 14 top + bar restaurant with wait staff in ties, soft music and great steak. Good sides, drinks, the whole 9 yards. Don’t be wary- just go. It’s worth it.

Great night out with the ladies! Our waiter, Jeff was excellent, prompt and he had a great sense of humor. Charlie visited our table which added a personal touch. Food was amazing.

We stayed at the Best Western hotel adjoining Daniella’s SteakHouse. Looking out the window, we were surprised by the number of cars pulling up to go into the restaurant , so we decided to try it. The owner Mr. Daniella was very welcoming and the atmosphere inside was warm and felt cozy. Our waitress was super friendly and very personable. We ordered the NY steaks 🥩, Ferrucini Alfredo with shrimps and French onion soup and crab cakes. The steaks were absolutely 👍 delicious , just melted in your mouth. The mushroom topping was cooked to perfection, the French onion soup was nice and thick, very delicious. As for the Alfredo, I cannot find words to describe it except to say it was “mind blowing”. The desert , Almond Buttercake is a MUST try. Everything was very, very delicious. We left feeling satisfied and will definitely 💯 come back again. Eating the steaks 🥩 was like having a. “Religious experience “, the best of the best. I have attached some photos. This is a place that you MUST visit. 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️

Lovely evening, attentive friendly staff. Our steaks were delicious, so tender and flavorful! We hadn’t been there since it opened 20 years ago! We certainly won’t wait that long again. So many choices on the menu, will be going back soon to try more. Thank you Charlie and all your staff for an unforgettable experience!

The food was amazing. The coursing time was on point. Drink prices were fair and the food price matched the flavor and quality of cuts. Great atmosphere, staff, and the owner greeted us generously. Beautifully done.

Sally M

Early dinner on NYE. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious. And still delicious as leftovers. I had the veal parm. The table shared an order of Daniella’s greens also delicious. We each had 2 drinks and tipped generously hence the $100 per person. Shout out to Charlie and his staff.

Alexis

This is one of the best restaurants in Syracuse, NY. I cannot say enough great things about this place. The service is exceptional, the food is phenomenal, and the environment is also amazing. The owner will come around and speak to every single guest in the restaurant. He makes sure that you feel comfortable and welcomed. I love when we get to enjoy dinner here. 10/10 recommend!!

Daniella's Steakhouse: A True Gem Daniella's Steakhouse is a culinary masterpiece that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, including the waiter, bartender, and owner, were incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. Even on a busy night, their service remained impeccable. The food was nothing short of exceptional. The fresh bread served with honey butter was a delightful appetizer that set the tone for the rest of the meal. However, it was the steaks that truly stole the show. They were cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. Without a doubt, they were among the best steaks I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. If you're seeking a truly memorable dinner experience, Daniella's Steakhouse is an absolute must-try. The combination of outstanding food, fabulous drinks, impeccable service, and a warm atmosphere makes it a truly special place. I won't give the surprise away but celebrating a birthday here is also a nice treat.

We had a delicious meal tonight. Our first time at Daniella's. However, it will not be our last! Everything was delicious. The seafood trio for two appetizer was excellent. The strip steaks and baked potatoes were mouth watering delicious. The service was fantastic from the hostess to our server Kim. She was wonderful and super sweet. We will be back

Travis Ruscio

We’ve chosen them for our anniversary 3 years in a row and will most likely be there next year too! 🥩🍷💕 The service was amazing (thanks Don) and food was beyond wonderful! We also appreciate the owner reaching out thanking us for our business… it goes a long way! Cheers to Daniella's Steakhouse for once again going above and beyond!! 💜

ANNETTE BOULWARE

We were greeted warmly by staff and seated early. Our server Kim, was attentive, friendly and did not rush us. The food was phenomenal and ample. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed and informal. Really enjoyed the total experience. The night ended with a personal touch by the owner Mr. Roman, who took the time to inquire about our experience and to chat with us. He took the time to call us at home the next day and thanked us for dining there. Can't wait to go again.

T. Rhett Pinckney

I heard about this GEM and I’m VERY thankful I was! Spreading the word BEST STEAK EVER!! Phenomenal service and atmosphere!! Looking forward to being a regular! Can’t wait to return already! Highly recommended!!

Coline Walther

This was my first time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. We walked in and it was dim, but it gave it a classy atmosphere, a long with the cozy, tablecloth covered tables. My fiance and I shared the prime rib. The portions were so big that we both got full and had some left to take home. Best steak I've ever had! The steak and potatoes were cooked to perfection! I was surprised at how quickly the food came out. I'm used to waiting a long time for food at steakhouse, so like I said in the beginning, I was pleasantly surprised by every aspect of the meal. Our server was Lexi and she was an excellent server. Daniella's also has an excellent wine selection. Will definitely go back!

John

We had reservations however out table was not ready. Not a huge deal because we went to the bar but felt like we were in the way because no bar seats were available. Appetizers were on point, got the calamari, bruschetta, and lobster roll. I ordered the filet mignon with Oscar topping with a side of mash. Also ordered a side salad. A little disappointed because my food wasn't super hot when it came out however the steak was very very good. I can't judge the mash because they were not hot and I never got my side salad but I was so full I didn't tell the server. Would I go again yes. Don't get nervous the restaurant is connected to a Best Western however the atmosphere is great.

Loved the food , one of the finest steaks I have ever tried is syracuse . And you gotta try the tiramisu and creme brûlée because they taste like heaven .

We dined at Daniella’s 2/5/26 for a birthday dinner. It’s our go-to for any special occasion. Charlie greeted us upon arrival and thanked us for choosing his restaurant. Our server Lexi was excellent and we never wanted for anything. Two of us had the filet which was cooked perfectly. One had chicken Milanese and the other had beef tips. Everything was delicious and served hot. In our opinion there aren’t many restaurants that can compete with Daniella’s!

Jeff Von Hendy

Driving by this place you may think it's just another hotel restaurant, but Daniella's offers a premium dining experience all around. I can't say enough about the staff - we had a relatively late reservation and never felt rushed. Dish recommendations felt genuine, and Misty was super attentive despite serving us and the patio. While we weren't at the bar, the bar staff went out of their way to check on us to make sure we were having a good time - everyone really seems to work as a team. The added experience of Charlie checking in the day after to thank us for coming displays the teams obsession with the customer experience. THEN there's the food! The portions are huge - I don't think I've ever seen a baked potato so large. The strip steak was cooked to perfection, and I'll be dreaming of the stuffed mushrooms for a while. Look - this place isn't cheap; but it's a great deal for what you get. Treat yo self. Lastly, the atmosphere is cozy. It's not huge and you're not packed in with everyone. It feels intimate and is a great place to celebrate or just have a date night. At the end of the night the staff said "you have to come back." I'm sure they tell everyone this, but they don't need to: I had made that decision before the entrees landed.

marianne strauss

I have eaten at Daniella’s Steakhouse 2 times now and both times were absolutely phenomenal. The service there is impeachable. Our server, Jeff was wonderful. Great customer service, very knowledgeable about the entire menu and specific questions I had. (Due to severe food allergies ). Also, gave great suggestions as far as food and what his personal recommendations would be for me to try. This brings us to the food…. It is absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection, huge portions and paired perfectly with a nice ambiance. Charlie, the owner/manager is a very special person, who makes Daniella’s a great place to dine, just by the special touch that he does by making sure he goes to each and every table and talks to every customer, as if he’s known them for years! I think that is a very personal touch. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone looking for a special, great place to dine in Syracuse NY. Thank you Jeff and thank you Charlie! We will return for sure!! Marianne

Max Zhuravlev

Came for my wife's birthday this past Tuesday. Our waitress was super friendly and nice. My 30oz steak was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bark. Lobster tail was a perfect topper. Wife's chicken riggies were amazing and she loved them. The peanut butter mousse was absolutely dangerous. Can't wait to come back, thank you!

S Denny

We have been dying to try Daniella’s and now I’m mad we waited so long. We decided to go for our anniversary. We were greeted by Lexi who was also our waitress. She was so personable and knew exactly how to help us decide what we wanted off the menu. She made our anniversary special with a sparkler to the table with our dessert. Our meal was spectacular and we can not wait to return!

Hanna Marcolina

Everything about the meal was great. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they got. Only thing that nobody liked was the peanut butter chocolate cake. It was supposed to be a mousse I believe but it was just sooo dense and rich. Just almost nauseating. I’d avoid this dessert.

Daniella's is a great place to eat for a birthday or special event. They cook their food with precision and care, their staff is polite and friendly and the atmosphere is great, the venue is a bit more cramped than their old location in the my state expo grounds but I still recommend it for the quality of the food.

Cory Crahan

Amazing food! Went there 2 years ago on a whim. Looked like we walked into a wedding reception with a 1 man band. Stuck it out and stayed. Service was amazing! Food was even better! Staff was very professional and nice. 2 years later went back and found they were in a new location. Had to sit in overflow seating at 7:30 at night which was a dressed up hotel continental breakfast area. Dont let that fool you! Service was amazing! Food was perfect! Drinks were great! Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back again! I was with a party of 7 and we all felt the same way! Expensive but worth every penny!

courtnee Babin

The food was Amazing!!! And the staff was so pleasant. Can’t wait to go back!!

Robert White

THE best restaurant anywhere for steaks, seafood and pasta! Excellent food and service. Even got a picture with Charlie the owner! Bravo!!

Kimberly Varner-Caldwell

From the moment my husband and I walked in, we were treated with the best hospitality. We are from out of town and found this gem on our map. Jeff, the manager, was able to accommodate us with a table because reservations are definitely recommended. He treated us with a desert because he felt he didn’t get our drinks to us in a timely manner. Morgan, our waitress, was very sweet and gave the best service. My husband had the Delmonico steak which was out of this world. I had the Aztec sirloin and it was fantastic! I always need A1 steak sauce and I did not need it for my steak…that speaks volumes. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We will definitely make it a point to return whenever we are in town!!! Jeff and Morgan…thank you for the best hospitality anyone could ask for.

Jon Allen

We chose Daniella's to celebrate a very special occasion. The ambiance was perfect in the small but cozy dining area. Our server, Misty, was fantastic. As for the food, we agreed that everything was DELICIOUS. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered. We thought the cost of our dinners and drinks were more than reasonable for how good our experience was. Definitely highly recommended. Great for celebrating something special.

Great food!- we had steak, pasta, shrimp, crab, and lobster- it was all good. The seafood was very fresh, and the steak tender. The cocktails and dessert was wonderful. The waitress and owner made our night pleasant. I would give this place a 4.5 out of five stars. My gripe is that the portions are so incredibly big! It's a little expensive to eat here but worth it. You won't regret it!

It's a cozy little restaurant tucked in a Best Western building. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, but a little snug. Food is a bit expensive but portions are amazing and the quality is incredible. The staff are very friendly and they make sure you feel welcome. Make sure you make reservations before going!!

I love Daniella's. I've been here many times and I always love coming here. It's a very welcoming space. When you enter the dining room, you feel like you walked into someone's house. It's a very cozy place. I've been here for dinner with my family; my favorite thing to order is the steak. All of the food I've had here has been fresh and flavorful. This is one of my favorite dinner spots in the area. I can't wait to stop back again soon.

The first time I went, I ordered the 40oz ribeye steak bone-in. It was the best steak I've ever had in my entire life. So after a month, I went back and ordered the same thing. It tough and dry. I don't know why they're inconsistent. I'm not sure if I'll be back.

Good food. Pleasant staff. A little bit dark and intimate. Great meal. Wonderful service. Not a huge place so reservations are very helpful. My steak was fabulous.

Food was excellent and our server was very attentive. Portion size was on par (may be a bit over the top on the potatoes; portion was huge). Steak was perfectly cooked/seasoned. Nice place to celebrate a special occasion. Room was rather dark and small, but after a while your eyes get accustomed to the lighting. Dessert (chocoate mouse cake) was large enough for 3 of us to share - and it was delicious!

Oakley Burke

4.4⭐️ was the rating hubby and I came to. Steak and potatoes were amazing. Veg was pretty standard. Dessert felt like yellow truck pre-made and slapped on a plate. Was yummy but kinda disappointing. Didn't try the seafood, but what other people ordered around us look great!

Brian Logee

We went here on January 7, 2026 to celebrate our anniversary. This was upon the recommendation of our daughter and son-in-law. We knew it would be pricey but figured it was a special occasion and why not get something really special. Unfortunately, it really wasn't. I will say that our server was wonderful and the food was was very good; the steak in particular was very good. But I've gotten food that was just as good at restaurants that are a third of this price. I was surprised when we were informed by the server that salad and vegetables were not included but could be purchased as an add-on. At this price point I would expect salad and vegetable to be included in the cost of the meal. Our server tried hard to make things special for us. At the conclusion of our meal she brought out a cup with a bright sparkler in it to celebrate our anniversary. It was a nice touch. But when I looked to see what unexpected treat had been brought out, the sparkler was just stuck into a cup of coffee beans, presumably to keep it in place. I had expected a little scoop of vanilla ice cream or a small brownie but nothing was in the cup but coffee beans. If you add in the fact that the restaurant is in a Best Western hotel and isn't a whole lot bigger than your average high school classroom, there just isn't much that is special about this place. $150 for some bread, steak, potatoes, coffee, and a sparkler. We did not order drinks, appetizers, or dessert. Good quality food and a very nice server. They say you get what you pay for. Can't speak for anyone else, but we sure didn't. Disappointed.

Disappointing Anniversary Dinner My wife and I made reservations at Daniela’s to celebrate our 24th anniversary, expecting a great evening. Instead, it was one letdown after another. Despite plenty of open tables, we were seated at a tiny rectangular table for two — positioned vertically and right next to the front door and hostess stand. Once the plates were down, there was no room for anything else. Not a great setup for a special occasion. I ordered the Delmonico steak medium rare, and my wife had the teriyaki salmon. The food came out in a reasonable time, but my steak was completely raw inside — not rare, raw. The waitress agreed and took it back, but it was another 10–15 minutes before I saw it again. My wife’s salmon got cold while waiting so we could eat together on our anniversary. When my steak came back, it was medium rare inside but completely charred on the outside — black and bitter. The mashed potatoes were good, but the mixed vegetables were bland. My wife’s salmon was just average. I figured dessert might redeem things, so I ordered cheesecake (about $12). It was soft, barely chilled, and not at all like a proper New York-style cheesecake. Afterward, I emailed the management to share my experience. The owner left me a voicemail but never returned my follow-up call. Between being seated in the worst spot in the restaurant, a ruined steak, cold salmon, and a disappointing dessert — followed by no real response from management — I can’t recommend Daniela’s. The waitress tried, but the rest of the experience was underwhelming from start to finish. This was my first time trying Daniella's, but over the last few years I've sent business associates gift cards for Daniella's as thank yous. That's definitely going to stop.

Restaurant food was not done right , my Demonico steak was done medium instead of medium rare, I asked for right temperature , 2nd was little better but was charred a lot on of edges ( not used to see this type of grilling) and super salty. I had to scrape the top and add same water to have it edible. It was our wedding anniversary dinner we did not enjoy. Food was expensive. Expected someome coming from management to talk to us but there was none. Place was recognized as very good in reviews , unfortunately we were disappointed.

I am a steak lover and I go around to local restaurants that serve good steaks. After reading all good reviews, decided to try out Daniella's. I came with expectations based on all those reviews. It was my first and the last time! Firstly, steak comes with potato only. If you want some vegetables - you have to order separately. Secondly, while ordering I mention that I would like the right medium, not bloody inside. The waitress told me that she will pass the cooking message to the kitchen. I proceeded patiently waiting anticipating a good steak. It took 40 minutes to receive it, considering we were one of the first people to get seated. Alright - good steak takes time. I was fine with that. What I received was beyond disappointment. You can see the pictures for yourself. The steak was SO OVERCOOKED and tough to cut that even waitress felt embarrassed. She took a liberty to return the steak to the kitchen to recook which took another good 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the vegetables and potato became cold (obviously). Now the atmosphere - it is very cute but extremely small place. You feel like the people at the next table about to put their elbows on yours - that how tight it is. I like my personal space and felt very uncomfortable. Not to say that the place had the draft of the coldest air, because they had all the doors open - to the kitchen, to the corridor, plus periodically the entry door as well. In my opinion Daniella's is overrated. I have been to several places and made the list of my favorites if I wanted a GOOD STEAK: Santangelo's in Liverpool, Mohegan Manor in Baldwinsville, and Texas Roadhouse in Clay. All these restaurants only use PRIME quality steaks, not Choice quality. It was another great restaurant in Fayetteville - Arad Evans Inn. Unfortunately, it closed.

I asked for my steak to be well done I dont like any pink and it was sent back and took 20 mins to get it back didnt even want it then never came back and asked if we wanted more water or dessert not up to its usual for sure

1 star only for the food, everything else about it this place was rough. Im going to be as thorough as I can since I know this place’s reputation, and you can decide for yourself. Tried celebrating a belated Valentine’s Day with my gf, had a 630 reservation, arrived 15 mins or so early and was seated right away. We sat for nearly 10 minutes and with no waitress or anyone making introductions, not even someone to fill our waters. We finally had our server come to take our apps and drink orders, and even try to get us to put in our entree orders. We let her know we wanted time to decide and to enjoy our dinner with cocktails and apps first. About another 10-15 mins go by, still no drinks. But here come the appss. Lol, never seen a place where it takes 15 mins for a glass of wine and an Old Fashioned. So now no news on drinks, but our server decides its time for entrees. Lets us know about a special for NY strip, which we both love and want to have. Both order the same exact order, NY strip medium with mashed potatoes. Place is now getting more busy, so obviously in Daniellas mind its okay to rush your patrons only when its convenient for them. Drinks finally come, and then about 10 mins later server lets us know that there is only 1 NY strip left. So my gf graciously changed her order to a filet, cooked same way, medium. Thanks for offering something you dont have. As all this is going on, a fellow patron, elderly man, is clearly in distress at one of the larger tables. To the point where this now has everyone’s attention in the restaurant. His wife called 911 but the staff is insanely slow to react to what is clearly a medical emergency. They ask if an ambulance was called, and they attempt to call themselves but lo and be hold dont even know the proper address. A male server, who was bartending I believe, goes to check on them and seems satisfied knowing theyre not choking because “your talking to me.” This employee then BEELINES it to the table next to us to check in and ask if everything is alright. Like, my guy, read the room! All the patrons are focused on whats going on, and Daniella”s is focused on making sure orders are still getting in. I think they came over briefly to give the man a rag or napkin. Me and my gf are already on the fence to stay since we know an ambulance and probably stretcher are about to come thru this tiny space. Our food arrives, and it looks good. My gf cuts into her filet and the middle is completely blue, even though we ordered medium. This was the final straw, as clearly they are rushing everyone out the door and cant even stop to support a man having a medical emergency. As soon as we could locate our server again, we asked for boxes and the check. This was right around when the stretcher came in for the man to be taken out to the hospital. Genuinely hope he is okay. My advice to Daniellas would be to stop rushing people, clearly you know your food is good and people enjoy your restaurant, but if thats the case seriously consider a larger space. No one in a place deemed a “steakhouse” wants to be another table waiting to be flipped when the patrons are clearly expecting a steakhouse experience and just to enjoy the atmosphere. People are hanging all over each other, the bar area with10 seats had another 5 standing in the background. You can save me your phone call as well, I dont need it. I have been here a few times before, and every time it has gone down less and less in quality. This was my last time going here.

If I could have left negative stars I would have. This wasn’t my first time coming here. My boyfriend made a reservation for us on Tuesday Feb 17 because I was out of town on Valentine’s Day helping my mom who just got diagnosed with cancer. This experience was awful from start to finish. We arrived about 15 minutes early, we were sat and no one came over to give us water or take a drink ordered for about 10 minutes. We ordered drinks (old fashioned and a glass of wine) and our appetizers and the server seemed like she was pushing us to give our entree order but we insisted on waiting. If we go to a nice steakhouse we expect to be able to take our time and enjoy a nice long dinner. Well the appetizers came out and we still didn’t have our drinks. When the drinks finally came she wanted to take our entree order. We both ordered the special, the NY strip and about 10-15 minutes later we were told there was only 1 strip left. I ordered something else. At the time the food came a family of 4, with 2 kids came in and they sat at the bar…WITH THE KIDS. This was taking up space for other couples coming in and seems highly inappropriate. After this an elderly man at another table loss consciousness. Paramedics were called and they came to take him on a stretcher. No one seemed to know what to do. We asked for our entrees to be boxed up and we left as soon as possible. I ordered my steak medium because when I have eaten here before I’ve ordered medium rare and the steak came raw, bloody and blue. This steak was cooked under medium. I guess it didn’t matter because due to the events that night no one asked us how it was. We will never be going here again.
