Daniel's Broiler review

Jason here. One thing we greatly enjoy is taking guests out to enjoy some local restaurants.  This time we wanted to go to a very nice restaurant which focuses on steak. We elected to go to Daniel’s Broiler in Bellevue.

First let’s get some things out of the way. While they don’t have a gluten free menu, they are very friendly and can double check on all items. Second, expect to pay a good deal for your meal. I would recommend checking out the menu on their website for an idea of what to pay. Luckily we did know what we were getting into, but seriously don’t take a guest here without them knowing what they are getting into.

Now to the fun stuff. This is definitely a restaurant you want to dress up to, and feel a little classy. I would describe the decorations as fine wood wine racks, filled with all kinds of wine. The restaurant is on one of the top floors of a tall building in Bellevue, so it provides an excellent view if you can get a window seat. We had a nice view through the wine racks into the kitchen which was fun to watch.

We ordered a Rib-eye done medium, with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. They definitely take pride in their steaks, and have some demo steaks to show off as you enter. They even explain their process of how they cook the steak and make sure to sear it at the end to lock in the flavor, and full of flavor it was. It came medium, exactly as I had ordered it. The steak was one of the best I have had. It wasn’t overly seasoned, just cooked well so it the flavor came from the steak itself. Even the mashed potatoes were extremely good. They were very light and fluffy, with an almost creamy taste to them.

Kayleigh here. As the kind of person that tags along to steakhouses and gets…not steak, I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and thought put into the non-steak entrees, and actually had a difficult time choosing! Plenty of seafood and chicken options, as well as a fairly extensive vegetarian menu- something good for anyone you decide to take!

We highly recommend Daniel’s Broiler for a primo night on the town, to celebrate an anniversary, a job promotion, or simply an occasion where you want to remind yourself just how good your life is. Their dinners are exquisite, and the wait staff is quick to help with wine pairings according to your meal choice, which was perfect for a couple of novice drinkers like ourselves. We did not have room at the end, but we were told there are dessert options available for gluten free diners (like their gourmet ice cream sundaes), so we might just have to make a separate trip out sometime for drinks and desserts!
