Went there last weekend Saturday and although our server was extremely polite and tried hard, we didn't really like it that much. They hired lots of new (young) staff which are still learning and I understand that, but, for example, my wife's used appetizer plate was still on the table by the time we left after waiting for even getting plates forever. I had to eat my main course with just a fork until I was almost finished and food was average at best! However, it's extremely pricey which makes it an even bigger disappointment. We won't go back and I'm really surprised why so many people have handed out that many good reviews.The place was definitely packed inside and outside, but the quality was just not there.

This is one of our favorite places for brunch or a nice dinner. We go for birthdays and after hikes, bringing all of our friends every chance we get. The service is amazing the food is to die for, and the mimosas are perfect for any brunch.

Great food and service.We've been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food. They have a good variety of choices and a nice wine list. There are several kids menu items and they have always been accommodating in making tweaks to accommodate our taste.

Amazing food and beverages and incredible staff. Can’t speak highly enough. Try the Sunday brunch.

This restaurant never disappoints! The manager Patrick and his very attentive staff serve the best food. We had lunch there last Thursday and again on Saturday with about 50 people from our Porsche Treffen group, and Danielle's was fabulous as always.

I'm surprised by all the high reviews - we tried quite a few items and were unimpressed, especially at the price point. The flatbreads and burrata were fine but nothing special. The Halibut was good and at least fairly interesting. Overall I felt like it was very overpriced for ambiance and quality of food. Staff was super kind. I'm willing to guess that we just ordered wrong? We'll give it a try again and update if our minds are changed.

Amazing service, food, and atmosphere. Our waiter recommended me the fried chicken that came with some bourbon gravy that had excellent flavor. I cleaned my plate, which I rarely do. I recommend coming here for a classy and fun dining experience.

Dinner was flawless. I have never had such delicious, perfectly-cooked halibut. Risotto was delicious and just slightly al dente. Salmon was lovely.

We love Danielle’s! Amazing food and service. Our favorite ?

When you find a scratch restaurant on Happy Canyon Road, you have to try it right? YES YOU DO! Danielle's is outstanding!! Not sure what they add to the water in Castle Pines but this is the 2nd area restaurant we have tried where the young wait staff is superbly trained, polite, and enjoy their work. The dining room is wide open and anchored by a beautiful bar in the center of the room. Yet somehow each table feels very private. We made reservations 2 week's in advance (highly recommended). We found the menu to feature some original dishes such as the Halibut with curry infused spices on a bed of butternut squash risotto. You must try the stuffed mushrooms appetizer which are a pesto delight! Les by and managed by Patrick, he and his team put on a great display of service. Our server Brian, was knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated to his work. Overall, this is a 5 star dining experience in a laid back setting, and a definite go to for special occasions and anytime you are in the mood for romance and fine dining. Love this place! Thank you Danielle's, we will be back! #LiveRemarkably
