    Overall the experience was nice however the woman on the front desk was incredibly rude and condescending. We nearly left immediately because of it. Outside of that, the bar staff were really nice and friendly and the food was delicious

    The food is worth the visit, the service left some to be desired. Once the food and service are on the same (high) level this will be an incredible place.

    Very festive and great atmosphere. The staff were professional and friendly and we really enjoyed our food and drink. It’s slightly pricey but it’s worth a visit as a treat and we’ll be back. I recommend Daphne’s.

    The food is very good. Nice atmosphere. As for the service… this may sound crazy but the service is a little too good. Before you have even sat down the waiter asks you if you want still or sparkling water. Then when you have just finished your aperitif in our case a glass of champagne he rushes you to order wine. It is very difficult to have a conversation as the waiter is always interrupting for something. I know they mean well but a little less attention could be good

    Dear Tracey, Thank you for recent review. We regret that we did not deliver our usual standard of service. Our team here at Daphne’s is committed to providing high-quality customer service to all of our guests. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards, Daphne's Team.

    The ambiance was beautiful during Christmas time. However, the food didn’t level up to the experience.

    My friend and I are regulars for an early evening Sunday supper at Daphne’s. Today didn’t disappoint. We had our usual order of sautéed prawns followed by roast baby chicken. But today since it’s the festive season we had the added bonus of a panettone icecream coupe to share. It was delicious, Xmas in a bowl.
