Some of the best food in Wilson. The owner is so kind and is always present! Bruschetta, brisket quesadilla, and the shrimp and grits are wonderful.

First time there, if we're ever back this way restaurant is a must! This place gives you anything from salads to lamb chops at its best. The portions are perfect and pricing is reasonable. A big shout out to the staff, from the minute we walked in till we left, the staff were unbelievably personable. If you get a chance to go I highly suggest you do.

Food was awesome. The waitress was the best waitress I’ve ever had at any restaurant in 41 years! Mackenzie was her name. If you get her, tip her big!

Delicious and superb, quality ingredients! What a treasure to have Daniel and his delicacies right here in Wilson. I got a little worried when I Googled "Best restaurants in Wilson" and it gave me Cracker Barrel. But I see what is happening here, Google wants to keep Daniel's a secret, it is so excellent they would be over-run and the locals would not have a chance to enjoy his amazing, awe-inspiring "American Fare" Located in an unassuming strip mall, near Food Lion, is some of the best food I have had since moving to NC in 2011. And I am no stranger to a good meal! Wherever I am and Seared Ahi is on the menu, I must partake. This does not disappoint. Finely seared and encrusted with fine sesame seeds, drizzled with a ginger sauce along side an Asian slaw, I never eat the slaw, I think of it as decoration, but this was skillfully dressed with a flavor that should be bottled! I ate it all, even as a few pieces of ginger slipped in. What a delightful surprise! I had the Salmon special, expertly cooked, seasoned to perfection. A HUGE filet, lounging on a bed of buttery sautéed spinach and roasted mini potatoes, gently topped with finely sliced crispy onions. The Lemmon butter on the potatoes perfectly married with the Salmon filet, Genius! My mom enjoyed a grilled shrimp, skewer with cocktail sauce as an appetizer and their scrumptious Grilled pork-chop with "Brandied Apples". Fluffy garlic potatoes and red cabbage. She remarked how delicious everything was and how she has never had her favorite red cabbage anywhere but a German restaurant and it was fantastic! My niece, kept it light and had their Greek Salad as an entree, piled high with crumbled feta and a wonderful dressing! Even the bread was divine, crusty loaf pieces with a warm pillowy center, served warm with butter and an oil and vinegar dipping plate. And for the finale! OH MY WORD, the dessert list read like a 5 Star "Favorites List" He's a smarty, that Daniel! I did not see a dessert menu on-line but we asked about it early on, it was a challenge saving room after very generously sized entrees, but we were up for the challenge. The Crème Brûlée was the epic "mic-drop" of the evening. Large portioned ramekin with a solid hard shell of fired sugar protecting the luxurious crème below. I ate it slowly to savor every last bite, but I did share. Oh La, La that was expertly crafted! Key Lime pie and Tiramisu were house-made and lovely as well. The key-lime had the perfect zing of sour. The tiramisu I will have to try another time, too good to share! My niece paired her finale, which I thought was fitting, with an Espresso Martini, hold onto your hats folks, that was a warm cozy dessert in a cup. Liquid Love, really. Wow! Lastly, but certainly not to be overlooked. The service, Evie was wonderful, they were busy and she was very attentive! Brit's do know good service and she was delightful! Ask for her when you go! What a special place for a night out, a party or a very special Birthday Dinner. Happy Birthday Mom! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation NOW, Daniel's is perfection! You will absolutely enjoy every mouth-watering bite!

The food was definitely not bad. What I will say is that the food choices were a bit odd example bruschetta is a fresh appetizer with tomatoes and basil and when we ordered bruschetta, it was definitely not bruschetta. It was hot with vegetables and onions and very weird, the pasta had corn and green beans in it, again the food is not bad it’s just odd. The reason I didn’t give it five stars is because after we left, they called asking why we didn’t leave a tip. It was our mistake not leaving the tip as we assumed they added the tip automatically since the Menu stated parties six or more would automatically be charged a tip and there was seven of us. I don’t think it was professional for them to call asking why we didn’t give her a tip. I understand being surprised however, the phone call was a bit much. I’m not sure if this is how they practice their business or if our waitress was just young and didn’t realize that she probably shouldn’t do that. Our bill was over $200 and she called saying “you’ve only left me a $1.50 tip”.
There were 6 in our party and everyone was more than pleased with the entrees they ordered. Crab cakes were delicious, and the asparagus was grilled perfectly. Desserts were decadent - crème brûlée was
I had dinner here and ordered the filet mignon. It was excellent, tender, cooked perfectly, and delicious. My wife ordered the pork chop, and she loved it. She wanted me to try hers, I did, and it was the most tender, moist, and flavorful one I've ever eaten. The waitress was also great, very friendly, pleasant young lady, I believe her name was Ashley.
