Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Dovercourt Village

Daphne is a restaurant truly worthy of 5 stars! I hosted my friends here for a galentines day brunch and we were truly impressed. The food was PHENOMENAL with each dish plated beautifully and rich with flavour. The staff was courteous, attentive, and friendly. Our server Armand aimed to please and succeeded in taking such great care of our table! The restaurant is SO LOVELY! The luxurious interior design adds to the experience. The manager Amanda also checks in on the tables and is so helpful with any special requests. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone who loves delicious food, A+ service, and great vibes.

Great time, went on Valentines so just like everywhere a bit extra chaotic, but that’s what makes it fun! Great service (hosts and servers) and delicious food. Will definitely be back!

We went Valentine's Day for dinner and drinks at 7pm and absolutely loved it. We had the booth table at the back corner, in my opinion the best spot in the restaurant, and were super happy with the service, the food, the drinks, and most of all the music and ambiance. The server was very friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The drinks came out right away, and the food was delicious. Very happy, would definitely recommend for a date night out for nice vibes and lounge feel. 10/10

What can be said about Canoe that hasn’t been said already. Amazing views. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and wines. Amazing service. Canoe has been one of our favourites over the last few years, in no small part due to Chef Ron’s culinary knowhow and vision. Knowing that today was to be Ron’s last day we had to stop by one more time to partake in some delectable food, delicious beverages, and delightful service. (All from the best seats in the house, on the Chef’s Rail!) Many thanks to Sarah for the service. Thanks to the rest of the FoH team and of course the BoH team, all for taking such great care of us today. And of course, Chef Ron himself for the conversation, and years of wonderful culinary excellence. Chef, you will be missed sir!

The service was attentive and kind, the tableside guac was AMAZING, and the ambience is wonderful! I was a bit concerned as I arrived that the restaurant was in a "basement" but you really can't tell. I tried this place out on recommendation from some friends and coworkers and I'm glad I did. Everyone was lovely and I can't wait to come back!
