    Great staff and the food was good. Decor is what we really went for. Didn’t feel rushed being there late at night except when ordering our main course since the kitchen closed at 10:45 but reservations was at 10:30pm.

    Food was not equal to the environment and the amount requested. I could say that food was below standard .

    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.

    I expected the food to be better, although presentation, service and the establishment are dazzling, the food lacked in my opinion.

    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.
