Restaurant Daniel NYC - Chef Daniel - LocalApple

We went to Daniel's for our anniversary, and it was spectacular. We wanted a romantic place with excellent food and no loud talkers, and we were not disappointed. The only glitch was trying to decide what to order.

Long story short, we decided on the tasting menu with the wine pairings and allowed the meal to come to us at a liesurely pace. It's hard to remember each scrumptious morsel; the whole experience has to be remembered in entirety. By the time dessert arrived, I was in a narcotic state.

Some things to know: Men, a jacket is required. If you don't have one on, they will give you one, and you will not like the way it looks on you. Ladies, while business attire is acceptable, there seems to be a lot of fur and chiffon going in and out of the ladies room. If you have something new you would like to show off, this is the place.

Loud talkers - this is not the place for you!

Just ate at Daniels on May 14. We opted for the prix fixe menu. The waiters were great giving suggestions of what goes with the wines that you order (to please your palette). The food and wine was out of this world. The service was unbeatable. No wonder Zagat's gives Daniels its highest points beating any other restaurant in NYC.

Ladies this place has an extra stool at the table for your purse! This place is like theatre dining. The creativity of the food and the glorious feel of the dining room is truly unbelievable.

DANIEL Boulud wants it known: His upcoming Bowery restaurant won't be a burger joint, no matter what the blogs say.

"It isn't a hamburger place," he says, lauging off innumerable claims on Eater.com, Grub Street and other Web sites that his place under construction at 299 Bowery between Houston and First might be like Laurent Tourondel's BLT Burger and even be named Boulud Burger.

So what will it be? "More casual even than a bistro," he said first. Next: "A cross between a brasserie and a diner." Then, with a chuckle: "It will be the greatest diner on earth."

Elaborating further on what's clearly a work in progress: "Let's just say it's a very casual restaurant, perfect for its time and very much in synch with what younger people are looking for, and hipper than uptown."

saw this on the post this morning ... wondering how good the food will be at this new place
