My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!

Appetizers and steaks were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear, so tender they practically melted in our mouths - a true highlight of the meal! Esteban was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. He took the time to explain options clearly and offer thoughtful recommendations. Will be back!

Impeccable service. Fabulous. Going back in a week. And it’s an hour drive for me. Almost all the food was a standout. Was a little disappointed in the duck. The duck should have been the star, but was overpowered by the broth. But you can’t fault them when every one of the other 3 dishes was fabulous. And they charge menus monthly. Who does that? A great chef who wants to keep sharp and astound his guests!
