Consistently outstanding food, it is one of the best restaurants in the area. Our waiter, Alex, was perhaps the best waiter we’ve had. He was pleasant, very knowledgeable of every item in the menu, able to listen and provide great recommendations. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in great food!

I'm not usually a person to leave negative reviews, but we made a reservation at Daley's for Mother's Day brunch and had an underwhelming, borderline terrible experience.

Our reservation was for noon. When we arrived, there was already confusion behind the host stand about where and how to seat people. We took a table outside that was not already set for the sold-out day. At $55 a person, we were hoping for a spread of Daley's quality food. What we received was undercooked pastries, frozen waffles, dry chicken, dry salmon, and a salad with peas and no other vegetables. They advertised a carving station, but there was just well-done meat on a tray. They advertised an ice cream bar, just scoops of hard ice cream in a freezer outside. The warm rolls and butter were just slabs of white bread. I could go on, but you get the idea.

A great idea, poorly executed. Something definitely went wrong in the lead-up to this day.

Went for Mother’s Day brunch and never will again. It’s so Crazy to me that a good restaurant will host a special event and down grade their food to a minimum quality. Seems foolish to me cause now I’ll never go back. Good atmosphere and service but you’re hosting a breakfast with Eggo waffles! That’s sad. Have someone making waffles and omelets to order. I mean it wasn’t cheap to begin with at $55 a head. Then advertise strip steak and serve some type of over cooked beef. Just let down. They truly make some of the best meatballs around and today the served what seemed to be premade frozen mini meatballs. I feel it takes time to prove yourself to be good and not much to change someone’s mind.

Food took forever to come out, drinks took forever. Once the food came out we had to send back 3 dishes out of the 7 of us because the food extremely cold. The also cooked the chicken dish incorrectly, came out and told us about that so then had to wait even longer. Very over priced. None of us will return.

We had a delicious dinner on a Saturday night. Delicious food, excellent service and great ambiance-kinda hip and cozy and classy. We’ve eaten here many times for dinner or brunch and it’s consistently delicious. They truly do serve the BEST pot roast!

Just dined at Daley’s on Friday night to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary! My husband and I always go to either Crooked Lake, (when it was open in the fall those few times), or Yates to celebrate because it reminds us of the amazing wedding we had at Crooked Lake! Not only was the food and atmosphere amazing as always, but we ran into the owners who treated us like royalty and helped bring back our amazing wedding memories. We were so happy to see everyone and learn of the future wedding club they’re creating for past couples! We will continue to support all of their businesses because they’re amazing at what they do, and they really value their couples and guests. We appreciate everything! :)

First time trying this restaurant. We were sat in the lounge. Chairs were very comfortable. We could see the kitchen. My daughter has celiac disease and it can be nerve wracking trying new restaurants. The menu was VERY clear on what she could have. Which is a blessing. The server let the kitchen know even tho the items we ordered was always Gluten Free that she had an “allergy”. We heard the chef tell everyone in the kitchen that there is a gluten allergy and anyone handling her dishes needs to change gloves. He mentioned gluten allergy several times during the steps of her meal. This allowed her to feel comfortable.
The food was fantastic. We started with the seafood cakes and eggplant. Both were very delicious. Their sauce for the eggplant was top notch. We then both ordered the pot roast after reading so many positive reviews on it. It was amazing. My daughter jokingly said it would be her death row meal. Very good meal. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Fantastic gluten free options. Safe kitchen practices.

Dined there Saturday night and had a wonderful time. Great service, excellent ambiance, and quality service. We started with a round of cocktails while enjoying the bar space before moving to our table. Once at the table we then enjoyed a three course meal that was to die for, all plates left empty! We will certainly be returning for another memorable meal.

Everything we ordered was excellent! The pot roast was cooked to perfection, and the creme brule for dessert was heaven! The place is beautiful inside and the service was excellent!

Dietary restrictions: They have lots of gluten free options.
