    We have been eating at Daniel's Table for about 15 years and his food is great. This time we had the Calamari Sauce, Cape Grim Boneless Rib Eye, the short rib and the dates. He has speciality wines and I always allow him to choose the red wine. This is a dining experience and you will be seated so that you can see him prepare the meals.

    The food and portions were very good. The ambiance left a bit to be desired. For the price of the food, I wanted a warmer cozier atmosphere. It felt a bit cafeteria like.

    We had our New Year’s Eve dinner reservation at 7pm. There were 19 of us. The food is farm to table and perfectly prepared by Daniel. We enjoyed the meal immensely! Don’t expect to be rushed. Good things come to those who wait. We were also celebrating a birthday and he was kind enough to ask me what kind of cake she wanted and got it for us!  Thanks Daniel for an amazing memorable evening!  We will definitely come back again soon

    Incredibly slow service. Over 2 hours to get our entrees. The waitress was basically ignoring us. 1 star service and performance at 5 star prices. Will never go back. The $66 steak came with steamed broccoli and zucchini slices , no better than Applebees. Hard pass to return. A major disappointment to say the least.

    This is the "not to be missed" restaurant in the Valley. Chef Daniel's thoughtful fresh ingredients create culinary delights you must try. His loyal customer base is tribute to his skills and personable approach.

    Booked this due to proximity to the Baloon Festival and were very pleasantly surprised. The unassuming exterior hides a true gem. Enjoyed every bite, and the staff was attentive and professional. We will be back.

    Michelin quality experience. We discovered Daniel’s Table three years ago, and it is still our preferred choice for fine dining. This is the kind of restaurant in which you want to give yourself to the experience as it was already curated by its dedicated, and talented chef Daniel Villanueva. The menu is ever changing based on the freshest flavors of the seasons, which Chef Daniel pairs up perfectly with the most delicious, and interesting wines we’ve enjoyed to date. His creativity marvels you with rather exciting mixes of sweet, salt, neutral, fun, and unusual in every dish. No dinner night has been the same, and always a delightful feast. The menu is gluten free, consisting only of the freshest ingredients. It is rather concise, yet so complete, and varied, we typically wish we could have a little bit of everything. One week, Chef Daniel prepared fresh egg pasta, and being a keto diner who has not enjoyed pasta in years, this was a curiosity I had to follow. It was truly the best I have ever tasted, light and delicious in every way. Desserts are portioned just right; always different, seasonal, fresh, delightful, and he has just the right Port to enhance the experience. We love the ambiance. The black shades on the windows create an intimate feel, void of the outside world. It is located at a rather unsuspecting corner, which makes it even quieter and peaceful inside. All you hear is pleasant music, Chef Daniel’s friendly conversation as he brings you your feast, Hostess Alex telling you about your next savory wine, and your date’s romantic company. We recommend you experience counter seating at least once, it is a great opportunity to further interact with Chef Daniel and his staff, hear more details about the entire menu, the inspiration for some dishes, and an overall fun interaction with them that will make you feel like the guest of honor. We always leave delighted, already planning our next visit, and pleasantly curious about the next menu.

    Once again our evening with Daniel and his staff was everything a celebration dinner could be. We were greeted cordially, and the entire experience was everything we have come to expect from this fabulous hidden gem in the valley. The food and service were spot on and our server. Alex was attentive without being obtrusive. Everything about this restaurant deserves combination as one of the best in the valley.
