Best Date Night Restaurants in Distillery District

Service impecable. Food was visually pleasing, balanced taste. Delicious!

Kale salad with pine - refreshing and tasty Calamari - crispy and perfectly cooked Grilled Octopus - amazing flavour but came out on the colder side Braised beef pasta - sauce was really good but pasta texture was hard and came to table at room temperature. Expected this dish to be on the hot side but wasn’t so. While all the dishes we ordered tasted amazing, the temperature of the food was a bit disappointing. I like my food hot especially on a cold night. After pointing this out to our server Tiago, he immediately took it back and brought us a fresh plate that was nice and hot. They proceeded to offer us free dessert which was much appreciated. All in all the food is very good but the service from Tiago was even better. Will definitely be going back!

Once again, an incredible experience! I came from DC to Toronto for a few days, and of course, I had to come back to Daphne to try the lunch menu and hopefully see your wonderful manager, Amanda. I had a busy day and decided to go to lunch alone. Luckily, Amanda was there! She remembered me, exactly what she recommended last visit, and which dishes were my favourite — her memory and intellect are truly impressive. Based on what I had already tried, my palette preferences, and hunger level, she recommended two dishes for me, the Tuna Carpaccio and the Tomato and Persimmon Salad. Both were fantastic and satisfied my mid-day cravings. I left feeling energized and satiated. Amanda also checked in on me throughout my meal, keeping me just enough company, which I really appreciated since I was dining alone. The way that she conducts herself showcases a high level of interpersonal skills and intuition as she initiated the perfect degree of conversation, which is quite rare. A lunch experience is seldom noteworthy, but somehow Amanda finds a way to make it so. Thanks again for a lovely meal! I’ll be back on Saturday to bring all my friends to try the delicious food and to meet Amanda!

It was the perfect lunch..a meeting with a cousin I hadn't seen in two years. The bustle of the Christmas Market outside and then this warm oasis of the restaurant. A shucker"s plate of oysters, lovely bright and briny. Followed by plump mussels. Some fries. Key lime pie. Liam our server.... what a delightful young man. All of the staff were fun A thoroughly lovely time Thank you

Innovative food with impeccable service. Definitively a destination to come back over and over. The steaks are yummy and perfect for sharing. We had the ribeye which was juicy and perfectly done. The mushroom blintz is unique and a wonderful compliment. The fluke and fennel is also a bit familiar while also different. We wanted to try everything on the menu. The cocktails are all complimentary and a star on their own. We'll be back.
