Danielle's Scratch Kitchen

We randomly stopped in for dinner tonight and it was excellent (luckily we were able to be seated right away without a reservation). It is super cute inside with a great bar and the mixed drink menu is incredible. Christian was our server and was very helpful with gluten free accommodations. 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!

The restaurant's interior is beautiful and the menu is vast, offering many choices. I decided to go with one of my favorite dishes, halibut. The fish itself was flaky and delicious, but the spices paired with it felt a bit odd. The risotto lacked flavor, though the green sauce was a nice touch. While I appreciated the quality of the fish, I think it would have been better served with a garlic sauce.The salad, unfortunately, was very basic and tasted like a bagged mix, with an overwhelming dressing that didn't quite hit the mark.On the positive side, our waiter was very nice and personable, adding to the overall experience. While I enjoyed some aspects of my visit, there are a few areas that could use improvement.

Amazing. We will be back plenty more times! Great service staff and food! Host has always been wonderful and attentive kindness is everything

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.

The food was very tasty and the service was really amazing. Great to visit and enjoy.

We arrived around 5:30 pm. The restaurant was bright and cheery. A few tables were filled inside and outside. Our waiter, Brian, greeted us, asking if we wanted drinks. We ordered some soft drinks while discussing the menu. I wanted to try the 5 cheese stuffed mushrooms - they were pretty good, with some marinara sauce. We ordered the Cabutto Tenuta La Volta 2017. Brian recommended it since it seemed to be the owner's favorite. It paired well with the Vadouvan Spiced Halibut and Pasta Bolognese - both were delicious. For dessert, we both had the crème brûlée which hit the spot.

Our new favorite restaurant in the Castle Rock / Castle Pines area for a nice date night! We came after the Starlighting celebration in Castle Rock with our grown kids and everyone enjoyed it. Comfortable and classy. Delicious meals with homemade pastas, chicken piccata, and chicken parmigiana. Also some more casual options like gourmet burgers and fried chicken. Several beautiful looking seafood dishes were delivered to tables nearby. Everything from the main dishes to the sides and vegetables were well-portioned and fresh. Lovely service as well. I will be coming back with my husband for a nice meal, or coming out with some friends for an evening out, or meeting family. The chairs were very comfortable. Prices were fair, too. I'm very glad to have rediscovered Danielle's Scratch Kitchen.

I've been wanting to try Danielle's for a while. I recently decided to eat dinner here on a Saturday evening. The restaurant has a nice welcoming feel as you enter. There is a combination of classy and casual. They have a nice long bar area with plenty of seating. I didn't make a reservation prior to my visit. The hostess who greeted me was friendly and sat me inside next to their outside patio. I enjoyed the view.I didn't care for my waiter that much. He could use work on his professionalism by refraining from calling a patron "buddy" (said in a sort of patronizing way as well) excessively and by being more accommodating. It took him a while to take my order. When he came back to my table to take my order he said something that came across as if I were just hanging out or stopping by to take a survey. I wasn't impressed with his style of communication.I ordered a small house salad, Chicken Parmigiana and a Diet Coke. Food was OK. I thought it was overpriced. My order, with tip, came to a total bill of sale for $42+. I chose to skip dessert and pick up something somewhere else, on the way back home.Overall, I wasn't that impressed with my experience here. I will probably take a pass on returning here. However, glad I checked out Danielle's finally.

We sat at a booth and were happy with the ambiance. A family friendly locale. Food was excellent, I dropped one star for the lack of vegetarian and vegan choices. They were willing to put a meatball on the side, but meat free choices would be appreciated.

The food was very good. The service not so much. One diner in our party received their meal approximately 15 minutes after everyone else. The waiter admitted he had entered the wrong item and was "rushing" the replacement entree. All the other diners in the party had almost finished their entree by the time the final one was delivered. There was no apology from the restaurant, other than sorry I put your order in wrong.
