Being close to home this has become one of our favorite locations. They often have deals in the local paper or on the community forum and that really brings their pricing to a comfortable level. The food early on was hit/miss but they recently altered the menu and everything has been great. Service has always been prompt and polite. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Total for two should be around $45 if you get entrees and an appetizer. read more

We just moved here a year ago. This is the first restaurant the we had spectacular sea bass. The server that we had (Dawn) is fabulous and I request her every time we go. She is a top notch waiter and a total joy. Barbara read more

I've been here twice and both times on Friday night. Since the first Friday surprisingly included Sal Mancini i came back for a 2nd time with my 7yo son who enjoys music. Sal is great and will do his best to play whatever the kids like (I.e. "Johnny B Good" which my son loves). But Sal will play just about anything. New country. I had Southwest burger 2nd visit and it was great. Requested medium rare and cooked perfectly. I will definitely visit again. Oh and my 7yo loved the chicken nuggets and fries. read more

The crab cakes were unique. One sauce seem to have a slight bite and the other was sweet. It was an enjoyable combination. It was fairly empty there at 2 in the afternoon so I got plenty of prompt attention. Castle Rock is beautiful and this locale had a lovely view. There is outdoor seating which is probably grand in weather warmer than this day. read more

Great staff and food selection. Their outdoor patio is a gem. Prices are very reasonable. All made from scratch food. Yummy

We live in CP and really want to support local restaurants but once again we were disappointed. Red sauce has way too much garlic and our calamari was warm not hot. We ordered 2- glasses of wine for $21 each in wine glasses that were thick and awful to drink from. The lighting was way too bright AND the bartender Shawn is the most arrogant bartender I have ever experienced. We will go into Castle Rock for dinner, Lone Tree and downtown Denver before we would ever go back to Danielle's. read more

Such a wonderful place with great food! But what made our experience so great was our server Kate:) loves chatting with her and she was so attentive. Had a bottle of Smith & Hook, sea bass with risotto and my lil one had the most amazing Mac n cheese! Stop in for the great food but even better service...ask for Kate, you won't be disappointed:)) read more

Had to leave- not many people but too 10 minutes to get water, 10 more minutes to order, 20 minutes later, no drinks. So we left. Terrible service. Very disappointing. No Managenent. Walked across the street to Tressles. read more

Excellent,always have had a great dinner at Danielle's ! Staff always attentive to your experience! Definitely recommend trying.

I love this place. The food is great and the ambiance even better. It's the perfect neighborhood restaurant, but worth making the drive if you live out of the area. read more

One of the best burgers in castle rock area. Sometimes the service can be a little slow but they are always friendly. Definitely recommend

We were looking for a light lunch and found a great selection of appetizers and flatbreads to choose from. Unfortunately, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we overate, thank goodness dinner is late tonight. Rock Shrimp rocks and Burrata is outstanding. Veggie flatbread was great. read more

Love Danielle's Scratch Kitchen. We had a fantastic meal - "awesome bucco" as our terrific waitress, Danielle, called it and a delish halibut dish. This Danielle was not the owner but represented her very well! The calamari appetizer was great, as was the creme brulee dessert. From the two very welcoming hostesses, to the bartender to all the wait staff - and the chef... Thank you for a great experience! read more

From appetizers through dessert, Danielle's seriously has the best food I've ever eaten. I've made it here three times now and it blows me away every time. They take no shortcuts, preparing fresh food the right way. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed with excellent service. I think it is the perfect spot to take a romantic date, and I highly recommend it. read more

We had dinner here Saturday night. It was a party of five and the food and service was wonderful! The waiter was so nice and friendly and happy to answer any questions. Everything we ate was fabulous! Especially the desserts! We will definitely be going back again. So glad we found this gem! read more

Let me preface this review by saying that, in my own experience, the vast majority of people are fairly understanding of the reality that restaurants get busy sometimes (I was in the industry for around 15 years myself). That said, setting customer expectations and keeping people informed is absolutely critical to managing those times, and quickly separates the good places from the bad. And that takes us to our experiences here... We'd heard great things about this place, which is a beautiful location in Castle Pines Village. We made *brunch* reservations by phone a week in advance (this detail becomes important later), and arrived at the restaurant about 5 minutes ahead of schedule. The apparently panic-stricken elderly hostess ignored us (despite multiple attempts to get checked in), and - after about 10 minutes or so - looked up our name and mumbled something under her breath before turning her back on us and walking away. Without any further indication of expected additional wait, she then left the front of the restaurant unattended for the better part of the next 30 minutes while a considerable number of additional confused guests piled up. Empty tables were everywhere in the restaurant, including several that remained covered in dirty dishes for the entire wait. We were finally seated about 45 minutes after our reservation time, without any sort of acknowledgement of the inconvenience. Then another 10 minutes of waiting for our server to come by the table, followed by him informing us that they weren't *actually* serving breakfast any longer...so brunch without any actual brunch (strange...we call this "lunch" where I'm from). Then 40 more minutes passed before our food actually arrived. Although the meal was mostly on par with typical brewpub fare, most of it had obviously been sitting under warming lights for some time, and was definitely nothing extraordinary - especially for the price. All told, we were there for over two-and-half hours that day for what should have been a simple brunch. Our entire party left flabbergasted at having been through what was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever encountered. Anywhere. This place was a comical sh*tshow of patently poor service, disorganization, and clueless management. A shining example of how mediocre food and a great location won't keep your doors open if everything else is a complete and utter train wreck. Avoid this place like the plague... read more

My brother found this restaurant and we went for his birthday. One of the best place we have gone too. The service is great and the food is even better. They are known for their fried chicken. I'm not a fried fan at all, but having a bite of my son's it has changed my whole option on fried chicken. We went back a week later and brought my in-laws and the whole family and we all ordered the fried chicken. AMAZING! Highly recommended this place. The owner is hard working so let's help continue spreading the word and keep his business going! read more

Had a great dinner with great food. Everyone had a different plate and the whole family said they liked what they got. The lemonchello Marti was good too. read more

Great Great food -great wine list -nice outdoor patio dining -bartenders with enthusiasm. read more

I have been a couple times with my girlfriend, friends, and family, and we have never been disappointed. The food & service is always great!

So glad Danielle's has come along, after 10 years of disappointment in this space. Muscles, fried chicken (me) and short rib (wife) were all excellent, all perfectly seasoned. Service was very good. Will definitely be returning! read more

Vincent you talked a big game tonight, but your team came up short on so many levels. The food was good and that can't be understated, but I need highlight everything that went wrong tonight... - Your manager has the charm of the rhinoceros. He took very little responsibility for the quality of service and was quick to throw both you and the kitchen under the bus. Regardless of whose fault it was it was clear nothing was because of him. He also interrupted a member of our table when she tried to share her thoughts of the experience. - Your hostess was extremely inconvenienced by our presence and tried to explain to us how she did not have an outdoor table available despite that the restaurant was half full. - Your waitress was very nice and meant well, but needs training. She spilled wine on one of us twice and needed to be asked three times for silverware. If the kitchen is running slow she could have managed that expectation much better. The rest of us were finished with our dinner by the time the last plate came out. You seem to take a lot of pride over the image you promote which is to be respected, but you need a team who is capable of supporting that vision. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch today to spend a Groupon (worth $30 of food) that we recently purchased. Both the hostess and waitress were super pleasant and accommodating. It was a nice afternoon so we decided to sit on the lovely spacious patio which overlooks a courtyard of trees. We started off with the CAPRESE BRUSCHETTA which was a (GF) Grilled Ciabatta with Ricotta, Tomato, Kalamata Olive, Garlic, Basil, Parmesan ($8). Nice size portion and delicious. For our meals, I had the SALMON with White Wine, Lemon Caper Sauce accompanied with Side House Salad ($17) and husband had the BACON MUSHROOM SWISS burger made from a blend of Chuck, Short Rib and Brisket with Sautéed Cremini Mushrooms & Onions, Garlic Aioli, Sweet & Spicy Bacon, Imported Swiss Accompanied with a side salad ($16). Everything was perfect except the prices were a bit high for lunch...glad we had the Groupon. I gave it 3 stars due to the prices (and for the size of the side salad). *Note that the Dinner entrees prices jump significantly to about $23+ . If you were wanting a place for a special occasion this would be a great place if you don't mind higher prices. read more

My experience was overwhelmingly amazing. I never give 5 stars but from the service to the portions to the amazing food, I was wowed. The patio is great. The employees were so nice and personable even know they were busy. I encountered several employees including the owner and this is a great gem. The drinks were great and not stingy and the food was fantastic. The prices are normal for this type of place and well worth it. We will be back, very excited to find this place and already let several folks know about it. Go, it's great!!! read more

Spot-on! If they do it they do it right! Loved the homemade pasta, amazing red sauce, pasta perfection! My wife had the fried chicken also exceptional! Brownie in a hot cast iron skillet for desert with vanilla ice cream on top. great service as well! read more

Awesome place to hang out and get drinks! Kind of stumbled upon this place but it was really nice, good atmosphere and really friendly staff. The bathrooms are clean and the drinks were all very unique read more

Very nice location, very nice staff (Sean), and most importantly, very good food! We were there for a quick bite. Ordered calamari, spinach salad and a glass of Chardonnay. Hit the spot! read more

If the weather is nice sit outside! Nice little view. Danielle's has gluten free pasta Primavera which is a good option for vegans. Otherwise choose from sides and salads if you are a vegan. read more

Stopped on a whim, and were so pleased we did. Excellent menu and the food we had was exceptional. We will be back for more.

Love this place, the soda is fresh and the calamari is good. I wish they had more steak options but other than that, it's pretty good

Wow soooo good! We found this place on your site. VERY happy with the recommendations and resulting deliciousness. The salmon and risotto was fantastic as well as the chicken parmigiana. We will be coming back! read more

Friday about 5:30. Went for wine and small plates. I would rate all 4 of them "meh". Probably won't do again. Server was good albeit a bit rushed (welcome to why one should not go out on Friday nights). The facility is a bit noisy but workable for conversation. What caused us to leave the restaurant was the guitarist/ soloist. Think about it: you already have a noisy restaurant. Then compound it with a guitarist/ soloist with two speakers making conversation impossible. Accordingly, we went on our way. The owner must rethink this as went dropped $200 and felt chased out by a guitarist that cost them money. We probably would have stayed for another bottle of wine, or so but didn't. I'll think twice before going again. Maybe lunch, but not dinner. read more

I do want to say I accidentally posted a 3 star review, which I don't usually post reviews and this place is phenomenal. they had a bad night and I meant to post 4 star. Being in the business I know it happens. But, I also know being in the business they will fix it. There is to much caring in every thing they do. read more

Wonderful food and atmosphere. In the winter they have a seafood Mac n cheese that is to die for! I wish they had it year round! The menu is reasonably priced for the amount and quality of food you get. read more

This place is so pretty inside. The server was very friendly. Problem was the food. I had the shrimp risotto. It was terrible. Excessive amount of cheese! Tasted terrible. Then the minestrone soup was so salty it wasn't edible. I wish this place was good but it was below average. It's hard to find a place with actually good food that you don't feel sick spending so much on food you don't eat. read more

Wow. This place is actually fantastic! The people actually seem to really care here! It was an absolute pleasure to eat here. They are accommodating and pleasant! The salmon was crispy and well seasoned and great tasting. Thank you! read more

Danielle's Scratch Kitchen - Great salmon! - Seafood Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

We celebrated my grandmother's birthday at Danielle's. The decor is really nice! We were super impressed when we walked in. Our server was very attentive, without being annoying. She did an amazing job. We ordered several appetizers and drinks, and everything was delicious! The happy hour wine deal on Mondays is awesome! We couldn't believe that pretty good wine was only $3. Another nice touch was the well stocked restrooms-mouthwash, deodorant, tampons, anything you could ever need. It really showed the management's attention to detail. I will definitely go back with my husband for date night! read more

We came to Danielle's a few weeks back just to try something new, and we were very impressed! The patio was great, and the service was good! I loved all the drink selections and specialty menu. The food was amazing, and it was all home made. So even better! We will definitely go back in the future. read more

Second time here. Excellent service and food every time. The staff including the chef are extremely friendly and come to the table to visit often. The fried chicken dish is my favorite. Although everything taste wonderful, I get it every time. read more

Three words... southern fried chicken! Yum! This transformed restaurant is a nice addition to a very slim restaurant group in Castle Rock/Castle Pines. The bartender started out our night with delicious libations and great service. The calamari appetizer was tender and fresh. Then came the chicken.... moist, hot and full of flavor! The outside patio was perfect for our early dinner and the service was attentive and friendly. Can't wait to return for another wonderful meal! read more
