Daniel's was our chosen venue to surprise our mother for her birthday. She was surprised and fell in love with your restaurant! As a matter of fact, everyone within our party loved it! From the the food (the ribeye was popular), atmosphere, and service, it was the perfect dining experience. Kudos to the entire team (Dana and Mae with the planning; Evie, CJ, and Gabby was on it for the service)! This was the first visit to Daniel's for most in our group, and they're making plans for the next visit!

We always enjoy dining here. Service and food are always top-notch and consistent. Christian has been our server the last 3 times we have been, and he crushes it every time!

Excellent food and excellent service last night for my mother in-law's birthday. Several of us had steak and really enjoyed the quality of the meal. Server was attentive, sweet, and helpfu. Do not go here often enough but will start coming more after our experience last night!

Absolutely fabulous experience! Our first time dining at Daniel’s. The receptionist went above and beyond expected to make arrangements to seat us. The atmosphere was amazing, the food exceptional and the service was great. A double thumbs up for the Tanqueray dry gin martini. This was as near perfect of a dining experience as we could have ever imagined. Definitely plan on returning in the future.

Hands-down the best restaurant in Wilson. They could charge literally twice their prices in Raleigh. That said, somebody needs to buy these people some proper silverware that didn't come from a cafeteria! haha Another minor complaint - all the stagiest, stuffiest Wilson folks frequent here. But besides that, I'm talking about head-and-shoulders over any other restaurant in a 15-mile radius. Excellent service, the staff stays there forever - that's how you know. Family-run - Dad's in the kitchen, Mom's out front, and daughter's at the host stand. A gem of a spot, for sure!

I have been going to Daniels since they first opened. They have evolved into the elite fine dining venue and at the same time provide a comfortable esthetic atmosphere in which to dine. Daniel and his wife have worked hard at providing trained staff in service and back of the house cooking experience. It shows. Their wait staff is friendly and professional and express a desire to make your dining experience with them pleasant. They just need to prepare more salmon dishes. (Smile)

01/28/19------- 3/5 stars. I went with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday at this place. It was our first time trying this place. The overall experience was just average. I had the pecan encrusted chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. All that sweetness from the chicken tasted weird with the mashed potatoes. I wasn’t much of a fan but I really loved what my boyfriend got. He had pulled pork quesadillas. It was really good. I also got a watermelon martini, that was good. The atmosphere seemed a bit lifeless but the waitress was nice. I don’t think I’ll go here to celebrate a special occasion. 7/1/20 ------- 4/5 stars Over the summer, I went to Daniel's. I got the cheese risotto as well as the pulled pork quesadillas. It was quite nice. My boyfriend got the seared duck breast which he really liked. 11/4/22 4.5/5 I have to admit that they got pretty drinks. I orderd the guns n roses. A touch of rosewater, lime and elderflower; it was very nice. Cajun chicken pasta: generous portion, rich and had a nice balance of veggies. The scallops with a sweet corn puree. Puree could be improved. IMO, it was not a puree. It didn't have that smooth consistency. Scallops were great.
