My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!

Lex our server was fabulous from start to finish! He explained the starters and entrees beautifully. We got the braised short ribs which were flavorful and tender just as described. It was our first time, from the host warmly greeting us while they gave the kids a stuffie each. The girls ordered from the kids menu which gave them a beautiful mug to take home! The fairy that went our granting wishes was truly magical! And to top it all off they took complimentary family photo to remember the outing. Definitely will be back and start a new family Christmas tradition! Thank you again Lex and staff for making it a very special and memorable evening!
