THE STEAK HOUSE Daniel's was warmly welcomed when it opened in Fort Lauderdale in 2024. Created by Gioia Hospitality, led by Thomas Angelo, his daughter, Kassidy, and culinary director Danny Ganem, the restaurant emphasizes Florida ingredients whenever possible. Beef from Central and North Florida ranches—including Suwannee River Wagyu, Providence Cattle Company and Arrowhead Beef—seafood from the Florida Keys, and produce from purveyors such as Harpke Family Farm, Swank Specialty Produce, Tiny Farm and Winter Park Dairy support the wonderful dining experience.
