"We randomly stopped in for dinner tonight and it was excellent. It is super cute inside with a great bar and the mixed drink menu is Incredible. We had the shrimp appetizer and I had the Americano Pasta (yes they have gluten free pasta and it tastes homemade!). My husband loved the bolognese. Both dishes had excellent flavor. We will definitely be back!"

"Amazing little gem near Castle Rock! Got the Mussels which was so good. The Mussels were green because they came from New Zealand! We were so full from lunch we didn't get to try dessert but rest assured we will be back! Servers were so nice and I loved the architectural and interior designs!"

"Danielle’s is the quintessential scratch kitchen and outdoor dining experience near Denver. The indoor scene combines comfort with class, non traditional dining seating and beautiful decor. But we go for the patio experience. To sit outside in mid July, in the cool shade with gentle breezes, no bugs, and pleasing garden views… wow. I’ve reviewed many restaurants and This one gets 5 Stars from me."

"We visited Danielle's late on a Friday evening. It was a nice change to the always crowded restaurants in Castle Rock. The food is fabulously prepared to order in the scratch kitchen. They have a great wine and cocktail list."
