    Had an amazing dinner at DaiLo! The service was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, and every dish we tried was a hit. Their eggplant + burrata was my favorite - perfect blend of textures and perfectly seasoned.

    Went in not knowing much about the place. We got the tasting menu so we could try different things and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and patience. Highly recommend to anyone.

    The food was top notch and the servers were knowledgeable and on point. We even got to order off the secret menu. Food highlights were the duck and lamb dishes. Melted in my mouth.

    Great space, amazing staff and beautiful food. Shannon served us and knew every detail about each dish. We had the octopus tacos, smoked eggplant burrata, dumplings (our favourite) and finished with the duck + cauliflower. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you Dailo

    The food was like nothing i’ve ever tasted before. Though on the more expensive side I would pay it twice over. The quality of the food and the flavor profile left a lasting impression. Will definitely be back!
