Who would have thought I would drive an hour out of town just to try a random restaurant in the middle of Genoa?! It was worth it! Please reference photos - very similar vibes to Beaujolais in Reno, just sad they didn't have escargot the night we went! The food was beautifully prepared and so yummy. And the service was amazing, from hostess to bartender to server. The bartender Michael and I created a new off menu cocktail called "tryst" give it a try I loved it! read more

We had a such a quaint and unexpectedly elevated dining experience in the heart of Genoa at Daniel's. Tucked away off of Main Street you'll find the cute farmhouse looking building and parking lot. Inside you are greeted by the hostess and an impressive small bar before heading to the dining room with old world charm and elegance. Our servers were friendly and well versed in a fine dining experience. The menu offered a bit of everything for all palates. The drink menu impressed with a worthy selection of wines and creative cocktails and mocktails. Our food was plated nicely and most of all everything was absolutely delicious. The crab cake appetizer was a winner as well as the seared ahi special. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection with a sauce that complimented it well. The finale of desserts were well worth the calories. My Basque cheesecake was so good with the strawberry compote served on top. The biggest winner at the table was the banana bread pudding. This is definitely a place I would go back to on a special occasion or just to treat myself. ;) read more

The service, the food and the ambiance are all a TEN! Had a wonderful night out... espresso martini at the Icehouse before our dinner reservation at the main restaurant.

I must say I am a foodie. I brought may parents and boyfriend here for dinner. It was incredibly lovely. From the amuse bouche to the salad and main meal, dessert and even the house wines. Everything was selected and delivered with care. The food was outstanding. read more

An eclectic menu and fantastic selection. Food and ambience is great. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable.

Started with a black old fashioned at the Ice House lounge while we waited for our table at Daniels. Pleasant staff , friendly, knowledgeable and yummy cocktails. First in the door come early they spend more time with you explaining specials and the menu. We had crab cakes, shrimp bisque, a perfect halibut and chocolate pastry sampler. Friendly staff, good vanter at the table, great pre bus and attention to timing on the courses. $100 a head so be prepared for the check. A nice quiet amazing restaurant in the heart of Genoa a true destination location worth a visit while enjoy the Carson Basin read more

Daniel's - Crab cakes - French Near Me - Genoa, Nevada

Happen to be in the area and came here for dinner with my husband. Everything was top notch! The service, the food, the setting. We started with the foie gras and the goat cheese salad. The foie gras was excellent, definitely recommend. It was so good I got it twice because I also ordered the duck breast and it comes topped with foie gras and I was not sad about this whatsoever! Especially bc the apples and sauce they paired it with were just delicious. It just melted like butter!! My husband got the elk steak and it was perfectly cooked. The meat was so tender. Both dishes were a hit! I wished we didn't live an hour away or we would frequent this restaurant more often! We also had some drinks in their ice house building while waiting for our table and it is the cutest little bar! It's located right next to the main restaurant. read more

From the Bay Area and Dine out often. Daniels is one of the best I've been to in a while. Service, ambience, taste and presentation were all on point. Will be back in Tahoe in Sept and looking forward to going back. Worth the drive to Genoa Be sure to Try the Italian Old Fashion. My new favorite spot read more

Amazing food!!! Outstanding cocktails, and even better service, such a special place!!!!!

So, when my wife and I need fondue, we NEED fondue. There is no stopping us. Or, sometimes, we don't THINK we need it, but then read it on a menu, and THEN we want it. However, it occurs, it is an unstoppable force. While staying at a resort down the road during our trip to the South Tahoe area, we were hungry, checked out the bar menu at Daniel's (separate menu), saw the fondue, and then suddenly needed fondue...now. And, Daniel's delivered with our experience there. There are only a few bar seats, so we called ahead to ask about availability of those seats. "Be there in five minutes." Melissa at the host stand helped us out with the seats, so that was great. Mike was our bartender, and we excelled in efficiency and personality during our meal. Great, great service, I must say. Wife got a martini with her favorite, blue cheese olives. She also got this drink called the Cloud Cover. It was unique, had some egg in it, and you should go to hear the story of how Mike sort of made up the fantastic drink. So many drinks have been made in the world, and every once in a while, it is refreshing to get one that bends the rules. This drink did. They carried a really good IPA from Oregon that I liked, so I had that. We had lobster bisque to kick off the meal, and it was AMAZING. Next, the fondue came, and it was glorious also. Well worth the drive down there alone. For dessert, we got the Symphonie Chocolatee, and it was a drop mic end to our shared meal. Well named, as the high end chocolate bites were playing some awesome tunes in my mouth. Seriously, if I happened to have been carrying a microphone, I would have dropped it from my bar seat. We admittedly did not have the most healthy shared dinner, but we were on vacation! The atmosphere is classy and a great date place. They also have the ice patio, which was closed the night we were there, but looked like a cool outdoor area to eat in. I didn't snag a picture of the dining room area because I didn't want to weird out the fine diners there. Plus, once you are done your fancy meal, you can go to the extremely fun place across the street, which you will...trust me. I highly recommend this place, and see you there (the next time we are in Nevada)... read more

The food is alright. The service is terrible. Every server and hostess we've encountered acts as if they are better than every person that is dining in the restaurant. To each their own, I'm sure some people love how hoity toity it is. But it is extremely impersonal and I would suggest spending your money elsewhere. 2 stars because the food was decent. Otherwise it is a 1 star dining experience. read more

Lovely li'l fine dining option in Genoa of all places. Excellent for the Carson Valley area. Reasonably good French dining options and attentive service. We're Tahoe locals who visit occasionally for nicer food options and love it here -- it's a good option if you're around South Lake and don't mind a short drive down the mountain. read more

We had reservations for my friend's birthday. We were seated promptly. Our waitress was funny, energetic and had a lot of charisma. The menus is limited, but what they do offer is wonderful. My husband had the seared scallops and I hade the chicken. There was not a drop left on our plates. Excellent. To top off the celebration afterwards we went to their Ice Box for after dinner drinks. Well, what an experience!! Charming in the inside, but what made our night so blissfully delightful was the bartender, Ina. What a keeper! This girl has personally that you can't fake. Daniel's is lucky to have scored such a lovely bartender. She made our night. We will be back on her nights for sure. Love, love, love this place!! read more

Food was amazing along with the service, we went for my wife's birthday and she loved the evening, dinner and cocktails. A little bit pricey though. read more

We have dined at Daniels numerous times because we find the ambiance so enjoyable, the service impeccable, and the food wonderful.

Daniel's is the best restaurant in the Reno/Carson City/Lake Tahoe area that we have been to. This is fine dining at great prices for the quality of the food and service. My wife had the duck and I ordered Elk. We also shared the warm goat cheese salad and mushroom and leek soup. All of the flavors were outstanding! We opted for a higher priced wine, but there are multiple affordable options by the glass or bottle. The staff were very helpful with pairing the wine with our meals. If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, I would highly recommend Daniel's. read more

5/5. No notes. Phenomenal. We will be back. We were too busy enjoying to take pictures, but had crab cakes, warm goat cheese salad, filet, Elk, and bread pudding. All incredible. read more

French cuisine. Opens at 5:00 but staff is there at 3:30. Reservations are recommended but if you call early in the day they will call you back and try to fit you in. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. The dining room is small and feels like an elegant home. I enjoyed the rack of lamb with risotto, mushrooms and spinach. The wine list is well represented, I had a glass of French rose'. For some reason Google doesn't list them as a restaurant in the Genoa but as of March 2026 they are differently open. read more

We had a wonderful dinner here, very intimate environment, limited number of tables. Elegant surroundings the food was amazing. The service was excellent, but highly recommend this place to anybody worth the experience but due to the limited seating make sure you make a reservation for a wonderful time. read more

What are you doing from 3:30 to 5:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons while the weather is nice? If you're in the area and you want a light snack this would be a great spot for you to consider. My wife and I tried it recently and we found the cocktails to be spot on and the cheese excellent. We will, without hesitation, include this in our afternoon options considerations. read more

Made reservations, arrived early. Luckily we were able to sit at bar since they only had 4 stools. Bartender made quality drinks, definitely recommended.

Service was amazing, food was spectacular and the ambiance was spot on French farmhouse. Will definitely go back!

I visited the Ice House for another wine tasting. The theme of this tasting was Rose. The tasting welcomed all no matter their level or love of wine. The experience was laidback yet provided loads of information. The sommelier makes you feel like part of her family and brings the information to you in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Hopefully she will continue to run these for Daniel's and the Ice House because she is fantastic! If you haven't attended one of the wine tastings yet, you are definitely missing out so check their website and grab a ticket! read more

What a remarkable experience! The ambiance, the service, the food ..... Oh My! We visited a few months back and were so excited to be able to experience Daniel's.

On a rainy Tuesday night we decided to go out for dinner.

Everything about our meal was excellent , service ,meal ,presentation, timing were in a word perfect ! Our servers Christina and Luke performed an excellent job .The chef and his staff were also excellent lastly lets not forget the mixologist our cocktails were perfection. To say the lease we will be back. read more

Do I recommend Daniel's?!?! Yes!!!! Once in a while you need to experience a Daniel's in your life, and if you can afford it then do it every day! Their food exquisite! I had a charcuterie board fool of the most awesome French cheeses, made in America, but each just as awesome as the next. I had the mushroom bisque, which was an awesome surprise to me since I hardly ever eat mushrooms! Their drinks were awesome as well. I highly recommended this place! read more

Our kids gave us a $150 gift card for Christmas to try this place out. Awesome ambiance here, very quant/romantic...A+ For drinks, my wife had a lemon drop and I had the Kiev Mule...both were great. For an appetizer, we went with the crab cakes...little too mushy for my taste, and I prefer crab cakes that have nice chunks of crab....also, the flavor completely covered up the crab...that was a miss for me. We ordered the Filet and Salmon, both dishes were good, but both were slightly under-seasoned...we had to request some salt to amp it up a bit. In addition, the steak came with fries..but, they did not have ketchup for fry dipping. I understand this is a French style restaurant, but most Americans prefer a little ketchup to dip their fries. The béarnaise sauce was a little too rich for fry dipping. We had to add an extra $20 in addition to our gift card to pay for our meal. I'm glad we came her for the experience and I encourage you to try it out. read more

Daniel's - Filet & Salmon - French Near Me - Genoa, Nevada

Such a gem! Food is Michelin quality and presentation worthy. Staff is super friendly and personable. I ordered crab cakes and a halibut, by far the best crab cakes I've had, they had tiny pieces of bacon in it too! Halibut was delicious. Cocktails are tasty and very original. If I may make one suggestion it'd be dessert. I went with Basque cheesecake which I find a tough one to pull out in US. It is supposed to be on a fluffier side with the creamy filling like mascarpone. It also didnt help that I just returned from Spain ;). Other than that, hands down one of my favorite restaurants and I am already planning my trip back! read more

The service is always wonderful. The food is delicious and I like the ambience we go here from Gardnerville at least once a month.

Food and Ambiance were great! I would have given five stars, but our server was arrogant, stuck up, and rude! I wish I could remember her name. There were only two servers and she was the only female. She actually corrected me on how to say espresso (Italian or English). I pronounced it expresso (French or Portuguese), and looking it up, it can be pronounced either way, depending on what country you come from. She was very standoffish and acted like she was better than any of us at the table. We presented a gift certificate and she made it clear that this doesn't take away from her tip. I will go back because the food is fantastic, but I hope I get the male server instead. read more

We love Daniel's. It's by far the best restaurant in Northern Nevada. The staff is inviting and knowledgeable. The surroundings are serene and beautifully decorated. The restaurant interior is small and intimate. And the food is delicious. I've eaten at many Michelin restaurants in a variety of metropolitan cities, domestic and abroad. The quality and expertise displayed here rivals any one of them. However, great culinary skills don't come cheap but it's well worth it. read more

Hidden gem in Genoa, Daniels feels like you walked into a cozy 19th century manor for dinner. The food is classical French- which means giant portions and hearty fare. I enjoyed the ambiance in quaint town at the foothills of the mountains. My duck was excellent- crispy tasty skin smothered in a delicious sauce. The apples in the dish paired perfectly sweet and tangy melt in your mouth to compliment the duck. I loved the foie gras appetizer it was an amazing bite every forkful with poached apples so tender, fatty and citrusy- heavenly! The drinks were also tasty- my lemon drop was so well balanced. Do not miss the creme brûlée- a deep hefty portion for two with energizing raspberries that help counterbalance the sweetness, a smooth creamy and perfect custard! The only pitfalls of the dinner was the cordon blue chicken a little boring and dry and the warm goat cheese salad was less salad more goat cheese, the most wispy empty type of greens with a round, small goat cheese didn't make for a very filling or imaginative dish. Overall super happy with the experience and will keep coming back for the incredible foie gras, creme brûlée and top notch service and atmosphere! read more

Impeccable cocktails, wine list, food, service and ambiance. This might be the best restaurant I've ever been to. The fact that I came here 3 times in two weeks confirms this statement. Highly recommend making a reservation in advance if you'd like full service. But if you'd like more of a high-end cocktail experience, i'd recommend sitting at their bar or the ice house. Call in advance to confirm if the ice house is open. read more

Gayle and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary with a dinner at Daniel's last Saturday. It's been a dazzling dozen years, and 17 since we first met. We were here before when this restaurant space was La Ferme and a few months ago, we enjoyed at wine tasting at Daniel's attractive bar building just a few steps from the main building. The restaurant itself also has stylish bar that one can come for drinks and appetizers, or to comfortably wait for one's reservation to be seated. The dining room itself is gorgeous, with nice woods, and comfortable and spacious seating among it's 7+ tables. The owner (who also runs the Pink House next door), had done a marvelous job in completely rebuilding the old La Ferme buildings, yet maintaining the Country French vibe. Our dinner was romantic, delicious, relaxing and with great service. The menu had a lot to choose from and with several additional specials noted by Luke our waiter. We skipped the appetizers, in favor of our deciding up front that we'd have dessert. That turned out to be a very tasty raspberry roll cake (See picture) and really good coffee (and a side of Bailey's Irish Creme for Gayle). Actually our first drinks were our appetizers with Gayle enjoying her signature drink (Bombay Sapphire Martini with Olives Up), while I was happy with an Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. On to the main courses: Filet Mignon (with a Barnard Griffin Cabernet Sauvignon) and choosing Chicken Pot Pie (with a GLS Isle Saint Pierre Rose). I'm from the Midwest and couldn't resist that choice, and I must say that it was not what mamma used to make. This version was light, tasty, color-balanced, and with various layered flavors (See picture). As an extra, Daniel's excellent pomme frits come with many of the main courses. As Gayle and I live in the area, we could actually walk here from our house. Alternatively, Daniel's offers plenty of dedicated parking that won't interfere with the Genoa Bar traffic across the street. We had actually thought of heading to Nevada's Oldest Thirst Parlor for a nightcap, but we were so full and happy after our Daniel's meal, that we happily walked hand-in-hand to our car and journeyed home. Daniel's is a special restaurant that more than helped us celebrate a special occasion. Whether its for a future wine tasting, a cocktail hour opportunity at their restaurant bar, or another kick-ass opportunity, we'll be back. read more

Came alone as hubby couldn't make it - wah wah. I don't mind dining alone. Recommendations by server were spot on. Had the goat cheese salad and filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and both were outstanding - I cleaned my plates. Was so full I decided to take my cheesecake togo for the hot tub at the hotel. Service was awesome, food was perfect and I got to read my book - wins all around. read more
