    We had a party of 5 to celebrate Christmas Eve. From the moment we were greeted & seated everyone was very welcoming. We had a bottle of Malbec wine, it was sweet & good. We ordered appetizers, peeled Dungeness crab legs, seared ahi tuna, & each a cup of clam chowder. It was very tasty. Four of us ordered the steaks, ribeye & Delmonico with peppercorn brandy sauce & one Kurobuta pork rib chop, one medium rare, the rest medium, with garlic mash potatoes, & two additional sides, crispy Brussels sprouts jumbo steamed asparagus. Everything was so delicious & flavorful. We then had dessert, one cheesecake with fresh berries, deep dish chocolate chip cookie made to order & a raspberry sorbet. It was so good. Mike our waiter & waitstaff were fantastic, very attentive throughout our meal. Over all we were extremely happy with our meals & service. We do recommend Daniel’s Broiler in Seattle downtown.

    This dining experience was novel and a joy. The chef combined flavors creating tastes we had never had before. Sometimes it was a bit overwhelming (like the garlic on the Chinese broccoli), but we were glad we had ordered it and after pushing the garlic aside, ate every bite. Try the octopus -- absolutely delicious and not at all like the typical calamari you get in local restaurants. Our server was very cordial, had a great sense of humor, and increased our enjoyment.

    The Rodizio was rapid fire with selections coming just about every minute. Drinks were slower arriving, and a good experience overall.
