    Wonderful to dine at Daphne's on Valentine's night. No unwanted Valentine's set menu telling us how we must celebrate the evening, just the perfect meal and friendly service. Thank you.

    Food was excellent and so is the service. The staff are very attentive and accommodating. I definitely would like to come back to try the other menus however what puts me off was that there was barely any space to move at all. As a party of two that was having an intimate dinner for a Valentines Day being squashed between a party of 4 people both on your side wasn’t the most pleasant experience especially the guy sitting on the next table beside us keep sniffing so loudly during our whole meal I can’t barely concentrate on my food and its disgusting. Hope that there will be more consideration with regards to seating arrangement and I would give it a 5 star.

    Well I’ve wondered for a few years why this was my fiancés favourite restaurant and we finally got to experience it together. Food fantastic. Service excellent. Venue delightful. Don’t debate, go to daphnes for delicious Italian food.

    Good Place…. This was our second visit. The food was good especially the starters (King Prawns, Scallops). Portion a little small for the secondi (sea bass) and probably would have loved some more food on that plate. The apple tart was delicious. The wine choices are also good. The service was good, pleasant staff and very welcoming. We had a table in the conservatory next to the fire place and was very hot. The table was very small and close to the next one. Had to move and adjust every time for the service. Generally the place was very crowded but I believe it attracts people due to its good food.

    I came here for my birthday dinner which I was super excited about and I’ll honestly say I was quite disappointed, there were a couple of things wrong with our order and the staff seemed a bit untrained which usually I wouldn’t be so harsh but for the type of establishment you expect a bit better. We were also seated at a table that wasn’t the nicest and considering I had booked / reserved this a long time in advance for my birthday we were disappointed to say the least. The waiters seemed to only care about the “regulars” or other tables but then when we didn’t need they lingered around our table, just felt slightly uncomfortable and awkward. Not to say it was all bad the food was ok but personally for the price there are much better places in London.

    Dear Emily, We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet our standards. We value our guests’ feedback and work hard to ensure that similar issues do not occur in the future. Kind regards, Daphne's Team.
