Restaurant Week was a Hit!

Restaurant Week was a hit, and we just can't wait to do it again. We had so much fun and it was so nice to see all the new faces, and based on the reviews we've been reading, it appears that you all had a blast as well!

We were so humbled and gratified while reading the reviews, we just had to share them. Believe me when I say that you made us giddy, friends, giddy. In no particular order, here are some of our favorites:

Chez Daniel has been my favorite restaurant for YEARS!! I take special people there to have a "SPECIAL" dining experience and we DO!!

We were very surprised. We generally do not go to Hotels for dinner. Restaurant Week is a wonderful time to experiment with the 'unknown'. We did, and we came away very satisfied with Chez Daniel. Everything was very tasty and our service was wonderful. I really don't like to eat with the hotel background, but this was okay and not bad. We'd go again, and surely recommend to others.

Special Features: 

fit for foodies, good for groups, neighborhood gem

The food was amazing, portion sizes were just right, and we were served by the friendliest of people. All around, a very positive experience at Chez Daniel!

The sea bass was, quite possibly, the best fish I've eaten. Appetizer selection was great...varied and we had scallops, shrimp, and Brie which were all fantastic! Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Other staff was attentive to our needs including refilling drinks, taking plates away, etc. Restaurant is inside a hotel so it's a bit of a casual scene for such a pricey place but I enjoyed not having to get dressed up. Jeans are completely appropriate here.

Thanks to your kind reviews, we're the #2 restaurant in ALL of Bloomington on Trip Advisor! 

We tried this place because we saw it on the restaurant week list and are very glad that we did.

I saw some reviews that were talking about poor service but fortunately we did not experience that, we made a reservation for 6pm and beat most of the rush. By the time we were leaving the place was very packed but it seemed like the wait staff was still managing well. 

The food was fantastic! We tried: escargot, shrimp, scallops and brie appetizers, lamb and filet mignon for entree and the creme brulee and cream puffs for dessert. Every bit of food we had was great and I would recommend all of it. That being said the restaurant week price was a VERY good deal and we got four courses for less than the typical entree price, if we had been paying normal prices we would not have been able to try all of those items. 

So, if you visited us during Restaurant Week, thanks so much for giving us a try. And, if you shared your experience, so that others know about Chez Daniel, many thanks again. We really appreciate it! 

Until next Restaurant Week, Au Revoir!
