Terraza Rooftop @ Daniels: Came here expecting more-relaxed premium--left feeling like I ordered "fine dining" from Temu. We had a 9:30pm reservation for the upstairs restaurant/lounge concept (smaller menu + cigars), and the very first thing we heard after sitting down was essentially: "Just so you know, the kitchen closes soon." Not exactly the welcome you expect when there are two seatings and you've booked an actual reservation. From that moment on, the whole experience felt rushed and oddly... apologetic? Plates were cleared like we were in a speed round, yet the service itself was slow. The food plating looked more "late shift assembly" than steakhouse polish. And multiple times we were reminded our drinks were "coming from downstairs," which started to sound less like an explanation and more like a slogan. High prices + low-touch service is a tough combo. I wanted upscale lounge energy. I got Temu premium: looks like the brand, but the experience arrives... different. In a city with so many options, this will not stand the test of time. read more

This is definitely a perfect example of fine dining! My first visit to Daniel's and I found it delightful. The sourdough bread is to die for, you MUST order it! One loaf feeds 4 and is accompanied by a rich creamy ricotta with honey. Or very fine olive oil if you prefer. My appetizer was the burrata served with tomatoes and drizzled with basil and olive oil. It was delicious and could easily feed two. The branzino was saved from blandness by the compote of olives, capers and grape tomatoes with a lemony base. For dessert I chose the mango/passion fruit sorbet which the perfect ending to my meal, though my friends raved about the soft swirl ice cream served with a brownie bite. Our server, Carlos, was amazing - attentive, professional and very attuned to the needs of his customers. Other staff assisted as well to make our first experience memorable. Bravo! read more

I was actually very excited about this place and trying it out for the first time. I let myself get convinced about going here after so many 'food influencers' tried it and I fell into the Instagram clout. My waiter was phenomenal, very attentive and nice Some items were actually not bad. That is why I am even leaving a 3-star review. Going to the highlights: Cocktails were great. Order the bread - It was fresh and the butter was fantastic. The sides were pretty good too. The lobster mac and cheese and corn were great. I wish I would have ordered the Baked Potato because that looked spectacular. Now on to the bad - We ordered the Ribeye Medium Rare and it was extremely subpar - Not juicy and no flavor. I had to Add the steak sauce for it. My friend and I finished it out of pure hunger not taste. We ordered this very odd - Chefs creation foie gras appetizer and the flavors were just conflicting with each other - sweet, salty, savory, sugary, it was just a bit confusing of a taste. The dessert options were a nice touch. They sent over a few of them which was nice as it was my birthday but still overall, I expected a much different experience. It's a steakhouse and the most expensive thing we ordered was the ribeye and it failed to deliver. It actually made me appreciate Perrys in the Gables and their cowboy ribeye - That thing ALWAYS hits. The marketing department and promotions on Instagram deserve a lot of Kudos because without that I may have never gone through the door. I hope it gets better one day just don't always fall for the instragram foodies. read more

Six of us went to Daniel's for Miami Spice, and we were all amazed. It's a beautiful restaurant, and considering it was Sunday evening, the house was full. Dinner was superb. Everyone's drinks were even beautiful. My Aperol spritz was just a tad too weak on the Aperol, though was still good. I ordered the tiger shrimp as an appetizer and they were huge. I also had an oyster Rockefeller and it was great. We ordered the bread, and my picture says it all. It tasted even better than it looked, thanks to the delicious buttery spread. All six at our table ordered the fillet and potatoes. Since the meal included no vegetables (a definite flaw, to me) we ordered creamed spinach for the table. It came in a big pot, and every drop got eaten. So the dessert part is what lost that 5th star I so wanted to give them. Even I wouldn't serve company ready made dessert, let alone ice cream or sorbet. Neither the menu nor servers said anything about it being home made, like they'd raved over the bread. The dessert got no acclaim. And the soft serve portion was larger and came with a brownie, while my little lemon sorbet looked rather...little. Very anti-climatic. I just didn't "get" this ending to a fabulous evening. read more

Finally got around to Daniel's and they did not disappoint! They certainly made us feel like VIP. From the call to modify my reservation to the hostess team and the servers, Eric and Paola, were all great! The ambiance was bright, busy and run smoothly. For starters, we started off with the bread and honey butter, and it was a great start! We didn't want to get stuffed with carbs, so we got half a loaf. Next, we had the shrimp cocktail (thanks Eric), Rockefeller oysters and Caesar salad to start and they were delicious. The red snapper and lamb shank were our main course selections, but I thought the lamb stole the show. It's served over well seasoned and creamy polenta. We added the lobster pasta and it was delicious and certainly had lobster within the dish and on top. I had a great mocktail; the watermelon one was refreshing and the ginger one had more of a bite and I loved it! The soft serve was ok for me, but the birthday dessert was a hit! 5/5 and be sure to make a reservation. We're glad we made one because for a Tuesday night at 6, the place was slammed from the bar to the main dining area. Check them out and enjoy! read more

What a fantastic night, complements to the chef and the entire team (el dúo dinámico) Came in to celebrate my sister in law birthday and we had a fantastic night, pretty much closed the restaurant. The moment you step in they make you feel welcome and the entire night is all about you. Our severs were fantastic. The food amazing, thank you chef. We had their chips and caviar with homemade onion dip, this was so so delicious. I would go back just for this. Their sides are so yummy, the truffle whipped potatoes beyond delicious. A fantastic restaurant great for a date night or a celebration. Will go back 100 times it is that good. read more

I am writing to provide feedback regarding our recent dining experience at Daniels. While the service itself was great and I have nothing negative to say about the staff, we encountered several issues with the timing and quality of our meal during my wife's birthday celebration. Our primary concern was how quickly the food was served. Although we understand the requirement to provide the complete order upfront, the courses were not timed correctly. The appetizers arrived one after another without giving us a chance to finish a dish before the next one appeared. Consequently, our dinner felt extremely rushed and was over within an hour. We were unable to enjoy a second drink because all of the food was already on the table. Furthermore, the meat courses arrived cold. We chose not to send them back as we prefer not to do that, but it negatively impacted our experience. To finish the evening, we ordered the $36.00 cake, which was so hard--as if it had been in the freezer--that we simply cut a piece and took the rest home. Expected a better experience for such a special occasion. I hope this feedback is helpful in improving your service timing and food quality. read more

I was Looking forward to eating here, and not afraid of paying for good Service or Good food, and a good atmosphere. I was very disappointed. This place is so loud. We could not hear the waiter. After he repeated specials twice, I just gave up. I think he realized, and then brought us the steaks for us to see first hand, because he realized we couldn't hear him. I ordered a Lychee martini Really that's not that hard. There was a leaky in it, but you could hardly realize that it was a lychee MARTINi. We ordered the tomahawk with the sides of the corn pudding, and the lobster The quality of the meat was fine. However, if I am paying close to $300 for a steak. I want it to be hot. On a positive note, the sourdough bread was downright amazing, and they served it hot however, they don't make it in house The corn pudding was good, not great and the lobster, while it clearly had a piece of lobster on the top and significant amount of cheesy sauce. It had very little taste. The, but even the piece of lobster on top of it seemed not to be as hot. As if they cooked it separately. They have an accident, wine menu, which they also did when they were Fiola, but I could honestly say that I drove 30 minutes for an extremely expensive meal. That wasn't worth half of what we paid. The dessert was very delicious. Chocolate hazelnut Cake. It was flavorful, and the consistency of the hazelnut and chocolate mousse were great. It was served quite cold, indicating to me that at some point, it may have been frozen. I know it didn't change the taste. I don't think this is made in house. read more

5 stars all around for brunch! Great service by all the staff, but especially Jose V. Highly recommend the caviar nuggets, steak and eggs, and can't forget about the soft serve dessert. I've been many times for dinner but will be adding in brunch to my rotation. read more

Great service, superb wine list, delicious bread, but the meet quality and confection was dismal...

Had a fantastic dinner at Daniel's! We ordered the bread, wedge, crab cake, hanger steak, wagyu NY strip, double baked potato, vodka pasta, banana toffee cake and cookie with ice cream. First of all, service was great! Andres was kind and helpful. Loved having him with us and he gave very good recommendations. As for the food, it was very good! But I fear the place has been so hyped up that I set a mental bar a tad too high. Don't get me wrong, all delicious, but I wouldn't say mind blowing or anything like that. Bread: good, sucks that it's something extra you need to pay for though Wedge salad: good, it's a wedge, nothing crazy Crab cake: very fresh, but WAY TOO salty Hanger steak: excellent, loved the chimichurri it came with Off Menu Wagyu NY Strip: (apparently the cows were fed chocolate?) this was insane, melt in your mouth and delicious Twice baked potato: good, again, it's just potato Vodka pasta: super creamy, yummy Cookie with ice cream: good, nothing crazy Banana toffee cake: super yum! Overall great! I definitely recommend you try it out. Not sure who was the older gentleman that handed us the final receipts at the end, but he was a little bit rude and dismissive. Seemed to have a French accent? Anyway, not the case with Andres! He was just lovely, big kudos to him! read more

Very fire. Expensive but worth it. Excellent service - easy in and out bc of South Miami location. Skip Sunny's come here. Steak is a must pasta I'd skip next time. The baked potato and foie gras were awesome. Dessert was somewhat limited read more

From the moment we walked in, the experience at Daniel's was exceptional. We were greeted warmly, and the hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. The hostess, Stefany, stood out immediately! she was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel genuinely valued from the first interaction. She guided us with ease, checked in throughout the night, and set a level of care that carried through the whole visit. She alone is the reason I will be back (coming from someone who works in fine dining as well). Cristian and Ricardo matched that same standard; professional, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. Drinks, courses, and table needs were handled smoothly without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. They made a point to be present and engaged, ensuring every table was satisfied and that the atmosphere stayed comfortable and elevated. The food was excellent, but what truly made the night memorable was the service. Stefany, in particular, was the highlight. Her warmth and attention elevated the evening beyond just a dinner. Daniel's is the kind of place where the staff doesn't just do their job.. they take pride in creating an experience, and it shows. Highly recommend, and I'll absolutely be returning. read more

Such an amazing dinner! WOW. As a picky new yorker living in Miami this lived up to my expectations. Our waiter Augustine went above and beyond, and had the best recommendations. The ambiance is great, and the decor is very classic steakhouse. We enjoyed the miami spice menu, and some a la carte items. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and paired well with bearnaise sauce. Rockefeller oysters and the regular oysters were delicious. Regular oysters had an amazing passion fruit sauce on the side. The bread and the whipped ricotta were a 10/10. The lobster mac n cheese and mushrooms were good but nothing too memorable, I will be coming back but trying new sides. Overall, one of the best dinners I have had recently, a must go! read more

So close to five stars. When I review a place, I usually start with superlatives, if there are any. The best something I've ever had. My wife and I went for our 22nd anniversary. Having gone previously when it was Fiola, it was a great option for our celebration. Obviously, the place is doing great. I couldn't get a table almost two weeks in advance at a regular dinner time of 7, and no dining room seats were available. I was given an option of outside or bar lounge. Chose the bar lounge. We were 15 minutes early for a 6:15 reservation, and were seated within a couple of minutes. The staff was super attentive and polite, great personalities and proud of what they do. I started with an espresso martini with Padrón XO, and it was excellent. My wife had the Palomarita. It was really good, with a lot of flavor from freshly crushed jalapeño. They showed up quickly, beautifully presented, and yummy. We ordered the raw oysters for a starter. Just spectacular. Super fresh oysters on a bed of ice with two sauces, a cocktail sauce and a sweet sauce. I wasn't a big fan of the sweet sauce, but my wife was. The cocktail sauce, however, was obviously their own homemade with freshly grated horseradish. Superlative unlocked- the best cocktail sauce I had ever had. Then my wife had the wedge salad. Now, I'm not a salad guy, but this was by far the best salad I had ever had. Think about this- they make their own blue cheese, the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The cherry tomatoes (which I normally hate)) were insanely good. The best part was the warm pancetta. Hunks of them that were so good. I didn't plan to have more than a taste, but I couldn't stop poking at it. Superlative. The best salad I have ever had. On a recommendation we ordered the wagyu station strip steak, and split it. For sides, we got the truffled potatoes and creamed spinach. The steak was soooo good. Lightly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The meat was tender and had such great consistency. After having a couple of pieces, I tried the accompanying chimchurry sauce. Oh. My. Lord. What a combo. Superlative, the best chimichurry sauce ever. It had diced onions that just took the flavor to the next level. So good. To finish, we ordered a bottle of Flowers Pinot Noir (one of my wife's favorites), and just had time with her and I talking about our lives. My wife said she was ready to go, and that she couldn't finish the bottle. We gave it to the patrons next to us, who were very grateful. It took some time to get our check. We kept trying to flag down our server, who would serve the table next to us but walk away when we tried to get a tab. It took 20 minutes to get the check and another 10 to have her recover it. Then the valet- there is no way to get the valet to bring your car around unless you are at the stand. We tried. Ended up spending another 10 minutes to get our car and go. All in all, ready to go took 40 minutes. That was the main detriment to our experience. Food is great. Service is great until you're ready to leave, but a great environment with excellent music (straight yacht rock). You'll dance in your chair, you might sing along, you'll probably close your eyes as you eat. Well worth it. read more

I'd been wanting to come since it took over Fiola's space. Glad we tried it during Miami Spice otherwise we would've been disappointed twice. For 60.00 p/p it was just ok. Nothing memorable, zero inspiration- food was bland and just blah. I gave it 3 stars because the place is pretty, clean. service was decent and they didn't forget t my birthday. Glad we tried it. read more

Daniel’s - Filet, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, waygu NY strip, Pinot noir - Steakhouses Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Went to Daniel's for a healthcare sponsored dinner straight from work. When my coworker and I arrived, we checked in with the hostess who informed us she would not be able to accommodate us in the inside dining area as we were wearing scrubs and they have a strict dress code policy. Because of our attire we couldn't even sit at the bar to have a drink and had to wait outside of the restaurant until the rest of our party arrived. They sat our party outside on a night that it was going to rain. When the sponsor of the dinner asked how we could be accommodated in the event the rain came down hard, she was informed by the manager that they have received complaints from physicians who say scrubs are not appropriate attire to wear while eating at the establishment & the dress code policy changed 2 months ago. Had this been the case, whomever accepted the reservation from a nationally known healthcare sponsor, they should have stated their enforced dress code. I will never go back to this restaurant as I find it funny that nurses were greatly appreciated during the covid pandemic, but at this establishment they made us feel like we weren't worthy to be there. Thankfully the sponsor called a restaurant down the street from this establishment and they were glad to have us regardless of us wearing scrubs. read more

After reading reviews online, I was really looking forward to this meal. Unfortunately, I found everything just "okay". Not horrible, but definitely overrated and truly overpriced. I don't mind the occasional indulgent splurge that's totally worth it, but this just wasn't it for me. The wedge salad was overdressed, asparagus was basic, filet was just okay, and the lobster mac & cheese was cloying. I've definitely had better elsewhere on numerous occasions (including at home). The only item I can recommend is the Caesar salad. However, our server was attentive, professional and friendly. Our martinis were also good. The place was packed and extremely loud. Regarding the layout, their tables are placed way too close together, so the servers were constantly bumping into our chairs (obviously not their fault). I've never experienced that before and it was quite annoying, so it detracted from the already mediocre experience. Even the bread was just okay (and not even complimentary). Sorry, but this place is not a repeat for me. They seem to be doing well so I wish them all the best. read more

Daniel's was fantastic! We went for brunch on a Sunday and ordered from the prefix menu, everything was fantastic! The Kale salad was fresh (I just wished it was chopped), the filet was perfect, the vodka pasta was delightful and the fish was fantastic!

Would recommend and can't wait to go back from dinner! read more

Ambiance: 9/10 Daniel's is stunning -- the ambiance alone is worth the visit. The space feels elegant and thoughtfully designed, perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Food: 8.5/10 The food was very good -- well-prepared and flavorful -- but it wasn't the best meal I've ever had. That said, it was still enjoyable and nicely presented. Just be aware that the portions are on the smaller side, so you might want to have a snack beforehand or be prepared to order extra if you're really hungry. Service: 7/10 Service was decent, though it started off a bit slow -- likely because they had just begun their dinner service for the evening. Once things got moving, the staff was attentive and professional. Overall Impression: A solid Miami Spice experience with a beautiful setting and good food. I'd definitely return -- maybe sit at the bar for a more casual night or save it for a special occasion when the ambiance can really shine read more

Daniel’s - Oysters Rockefeller - Steakhouses Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I'm surprised this is the first review since there has been so much hype on other sites. Was it amazing? Absolutely! So why not five stars? That's simple, pricing. I absolutely loved Fiola, it was a gem hidden in south miami. When I heard it was closing for Daniel's I was disappointed, but living down the block I was excited to see what this steak house brought. If you've been to Fiola expect a very similar setup, they turned the restaurant in a month, so not much is different. With that being said it's still extremely elegant inside. Pro tip, they have many of the Fiola classics, just not listed on the menu, you need to ask for them, but they will accommodate. My GF and I went on a random Thursday. It had just opened the week before and I wanted to try out this new spot. The original reviews on other sites had mentioned reasonable prices(no Gables Tax) which I was pleased to hear. Originally the menus posted online did not show any pricing, so I went based on reviewers. I'm not a novice in the miami dining scene, unfortunately $400-500 dinners without a crazy bottle of wine have become the norm. I was expecting $200-300 for a decent dinner with a few cocktails. We started with the caviar and onion dip(yes I know, can't expect that to be cheap, but the amount of caviar for $54 was what you'd put on one chip!). Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely delicious. We also had the crab cake, with a tiny portion of caviar, good but not amazing, was a tad fishy. Looking over the steaks, they have a very wide selection of wagyu steaks as well as others, but I believe they start at $60 and go close to $300. We shared the hangar steak @ $65 which is typically a very inexpensive cut of steak. It was delicious, by far best hangar steak I've had. For sides we had the corn pudding $16, very good, definitely try it and the truffle mashed ($34). I'll put those mashed potatoes against my favorite(Joel Roebuchon). They were excellent. We didn't have desserts, we don't usually eat very much, but we did have drinks. Total bill was $480 with 20% tip. Service was very good. The only reason I didn't give this a higher rating is because it's obvious they had a soft opening with friends and family, and requested everyone to post 5 star reviews on other sites specifically stating reasonable prices. Is the food amazing, yes. I'd definitely go back, but it's very overpriced, especially if you'd like to cater to local residents that would like casual weekday dinners. If money is no budget, go for it. You won't be disappointed, but I wanted to give an honest review for local South Miami and gables residents. Thank you for reading. read more

Heard of this new Restaurant in Coral Gables and decided to try their Miami Spice Menu for lunch. What can I say but spectacular. I had the Ceviche, the Branzino, and for dessert their swirl Ice Cream. Everything was very tasty and made to perfection. The Service was on point and Hector and Idalia knew what they were doing. The Ambiance was peaceful for our Sunday afternoon. I would recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go again. O oh I forgot must try the Bread...yum! read more

Daniel’s - Steakhouses Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Great location and beautiful interior space, tastefully decorated with enough space between tables to avoid feeling crowded due to their seating setup and good acoustics. Comfortable bar area to hang out before or after dinner and impeccable service. Unfortunately couldn't give it 5 stars due to not having any vegan and barely any vegetarian options. Usually in this day and age, there are always people within a party who are more environmentally conscious, and for nothing to be available except for one salad and one side dish, is not taking into account a big majority of the population, whose eating habits have shifted away from meat. Most steak houses do offer options, it was sad to see that none were offered here. The food we did have, everyone enjoyed, and the bread was delicious. read more

The service left much to be desired. We were given an attitude from the start. It was my mom's birthday, and I wanted to be special since I see her once a year. I understand that is Miami spice, and you have a lot of people coming, but we did not order spice; we ordered à la carte, and not the cheapest items either. To the food: all the steaks were cold, not even a bit warm. The well-done ones had char, and mine, a medium-rare, was blue-rare in some spots. The asparagus was burned, the pasta was good, and the fries also. The mood was ruined by the attitude some of the staff gave us; some were nice and helped out. They have us a flan for the birthday which was nice of them. We had a baby, so maybe that is why they treated us differently, but she was calm and quiet and did not make a single noise. I expected so much from such a highly regarded restaurant, just for it to ruin the mood and make this birthday forgettable. I have never a bad review, but I think this merited it. read more
