no-risk comfort food
went for brunch on a Monday and was pleased there was no wait. service was a bit spotty, though friendly enough, and the food was good though not inspired by any means (the mediterranean plate consisted of two golfball-sized falafel pieces, a soggy spinakopita, tasty though somewhat pasty hummus, good grilled yellow squash, a refreshing tatziki sauce and several toasted pita triangles; dessert was similarly average) I just chose this place to try something new, but I'm not sure it's worth a special visit. Maybe dinner is a different matter.

Still wonderfull
I had brunch at Danal recenlty with my wife and 8 year old. It was very busy with a long waiting line but the service was attentive and responsive. The owner was running all over the place taking care of the patrons who he treated like family. All in all it was an extremely relaxed and pleasant experience. We've never had a bad experience or meal here.

Fabulous!
Everything about Danal makes you want to go back again and again. The host is warm and friendly, the wait staff is helpful and efficient, and the food... YUM! Oh, and the two-story open-feel space is beautiful and homey and comfortable. Great experience all around!

Unpleasant service spoiled the (decent) meal
I had decent food here, but the service was slow, not thoughtful, and our server generally gave off unpleasant vibes that really spoiled the meal.

wondaful
The new Danal is absolutely fabulous, very shabby chic. Everything about the decor makes me feel like im at home. The food is absolutely delicious especially brunch- i got the croissant french toast and a french press coffee, my favorite!

not good
We rarely skip dessert, so dinner at Danal about a month ago was an exception. There was almost nothing redeeming about our entire experience. We didn't have very high expectations for the cheese plate, but were disappointed nevertheless when the server presented us with dry, boring pieces of cheddar and brie. The duck breast I ordered was terribly dry and the accompanying compote did little to save the dish. my friend's skirt steak was tasteless and he gave up on it after a few bites. Meanwhile, the large, two-story windows and decor were the highlights of our meal.

My new favorite restaurant
It's not often that I write in to rave about a restaurant, but this place is well deserving. The food is just simply delicious - always great quality and always perfectly uted. The shrimp salad with citrus, mango and asparagus is out of this world. And the staff is charming. Nothing but good things to say about Danal!
