Avoid this restaurant at all cost! We were waiting in line at Gianni's Italian restaurant. Were told we could get seated immediately at Daniel's and order from either menu. Perfect. We were not asked if we preferred outdoor seating (would have). Restaurant was way too cold. We did order from Gianni's menu and the service tanked from that point on. The waitress/hostess was rude on the rare occasion she came by our table. Adult meals were served first and the whole dish (fish/veges) was cold. The teens's pasta dishes showed up 15-20 minutes later! After a long wait the hostess asked if we wanted our check. We responded that we would like coffee. More rolling of her eyes. Must have taken 25 minutes to bring the coffee.
We are very much accustomed to a 2-2.5 hour meal in Aruba. This was unbearable. Perhaps our error was in ordering off the Gianni's menu, but we were enticed to eat there with that promise. I would NEVER go there again. Worst dining experience in 7 dinners that week and in 3 different trips to Aruba!

The Ferrara Family (owners of Ginannis and Daniel's) Shame on you! After a day of work, visited you restaurant in December. We ordered you Early Bird Special. It looked good! Soup or Salad were fine. For a Steak House to serve a strip steak that was the consistancy of shoe sole.. unreal. I asked for it medium rare which was impossible. Not only was the meat thin, my piece was over 1/3 fat. Staff was apathetic to what I had to say. For $10 less I could of gone to across the street.. and had a very nice Gaucho Steak .... I would not recommend.

We recently visited this restaurant after reading reviews on this site. The steak was just o.k. (nothing to rave about. The service however needs addressing. We waited 1 hour for our meal looking for someone to ask (no one came to explain the long wait). Through the entire meal not one server came to our table to ask how everything was. No one asked if we wanted desert or coffee. It was a very disappointing experience and we will be sure to tell our friends who frequent Aruba to STAY AWAY

After reading the reviews prior to recently visiting, I was not disappointed with Daniels! Very nice atmosphere. We both ordered Filet Mignon and mine was superb. My girlfriend's was a little undercooked. She feared sending it back and didn't. They bought us two $$ drinks for the inconvenience. The sides were very good but too filled for desert. Would defintely go back!

Wow,we have enjoyed lots of wonderful restaurants here in Aruba. But the steaks at Daniel's Steak & Chop are fabulous. The filet mignons are the best we have had in Aruba for several years. Cooked to perfection. Service and the space between meals was also excellent. Appetizers and side dishes were delicious as well. Too full for dessert. We will definitely return to Daniel's Steak & Chops
