We had a wonderful time here. We ordered the ceviche flight, the steak flight, some sides and a dessert that came with three things. EVERYTHING was really excellent. About an hour into dinner the live music started and I was afraid it would be too loud but it was just right and there was a Flamenco dancer! Would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

My friend and I had a fantastic experience at Daisies last night! I moved to Logan Square about four months ago and this restaurant came highly recommended by so many. The ravioli and the rigatoni were absolutely divine! So wonderful to have this gem just a few blocks away. Highly recommend!

Casual place with great food and friendly and efficient service. We had Sunday brunch at 11:15. Place was not too busy at that time, but pretty full when we left around 12:30. We found easy street parking within a few blocks. Well worth a trip. Beakfast burrito was a very generous portion and really good.
