Set in the heart of the Flatiron District in what was once the iconic Ladies’ Mile neighborhood, Danny’s evokes a timeless dining experience with an old school feel, banquettes, faded photos, and an original hand painted mural. The menu features elegant and elevated classic dishes by renowned chef Ed Tinoco of Metropolis and The Alinea Group, along with a cocktail menu filled with reimagined classics, local beers, and a variety of non-alcoholic selections curated by General Manager and Bar Director Alexis Belton Tinoco most recently of The Corner Store. A prominent feature of Danny’s is the all-American wine list that highlights wine from under-appreciated states such as Virginia, Texas, New York and Michigan.

The smoked Ora King Salmon rice cake was probably my favorite. The pearl oysters, salmon and rice are always a great combo and was simply delicious.
The ham and cheese hot pockets are one of the social media stars and was pretty good. Chewy cheese, honey and hot dough was worth reordering although they do they annoying trick of giving you three and upselling a forth.
The Caesar’s salad was bland an unmemorable.
The biggest disappointment was the rosemary fried chicken. Dry and too salty, it was just a mess. The only redeeming part was the maple biscuit but this was still not enough to save it. Huge fail.
Overall, Danny’s is not memorable enough and a bit overpriced.
Anyway, when we finally sat down and it was time to order, we basically got everything the waitress recommended… another reason why I’m disappointed that it wasn’t good.
With the spicy tuna black crispy rice, they put way too much aioli on it so the tuna was drowning/was not the star it should have been. Also, I think they tried way too hard by making it black crispy rice instead of regular rice. The black rice ended up being too crispy and difficult to chew.
The ham and cheese hot pockets were basic at best… the 16-month aged ham was thinly sliced and laid on top of the pocket and the four cheese blend was fine but not a stand out. It was truly just something to eat and not something I actually enjoyed. Sorry not sorry.
For our mains the Rosemary fried chicken and the Lumache were actually a good pairing that I would order again. The skin was buttermilk fried to perfection while the actual chicken was juicy and tender. I also loved the maple biscuit which was caramelized on top (the way the top of a crème brûlée is). If there’s one complaint it’s that there was more chicken skin than actual chicken on my piece. The Lumache bolognese pasta with parmigiano-reggiano and crispy pancetta was good! I don’t really have any complaints or notes other than it just wasn’t mind blowing.
As a side, we ordered the brussel sprouts with parmesan and a pomegranate vinaigrette. Unfortunately, they were so so salty that we sent the dish back.
All in all, I’m not racing to go back.
My current favorite dishes are:
1. The lumache bolognese which is deeply flavored, with the most delightful chewy texture, and hides bursts of bolognese inside
2. The burger, it’s the thick kind. It’s unfussy and the pickles and sauce are
The cocktails are perfectly executed without being boring. Probably better than most cocktail bars in the city. My current favorite is the amaretto sour (with passionfruit and olive oil). It is sweet and almondy, balanced with the acid of passionfruit, super silky texture, and then there’s a little olive that comes on the side that gives savory and briny and crunchy too!!
Final thing I’ll say is the wine list is all-American. You can find familiar Napa names or try something unexpected from Colorado or Virginia. They also have coravin pours, which make it easy to taste something special by the glass!!
We started with both salads, the deviled eggs, and the spicy tuna and smoked salmon over rice. Each dish was fresh and full of flavor, with the smoked salmon standing out as my favorite bite of the night.
For the main course, we had the Lumache, the NY Strip, and a burger. The steak had a deep, dry-aged flavor and came with an incredible sauce that complemented it perfectly. The burger was cooked just right and easily ranks among the best I’ve had in the city.
Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and timed everything perfectly. I finished with an Old Fashioned that was balanced and delicious.
Highly recommend.
