We kindly ask that our guests are aged 12 years and older and pets are left at home.Our limited space against the window is our most popular request; we may not be able to fulfill all requests in the evening.

    Daingerfield's at Westglow Luxury Resort and Spa is fine dining at its best. The service is excellent, the dining area is comfortable and quiet, and the food is exceptional. The menu changes frequently and it isn't always aligned with what is on the website (like right now 5/30/26) but last night we had the crabcakes and grilled shrimp as our starters and the salmon and citrus swordfish for our main courses. Everything was absolutely fantastic. For this reason, Daingerfield's has become our favorite go-to place for a consistently high quality, fine dining experience.
