    Charming ambience and delicious food. The service was very clunky because three different people all had a different service role, strange vibe. Really cute bar!

    I specifically asked for a table in the conservatory.. I know they don’t guarentee but the people in front were shown straight through and we were told not available! Badly done ! It was a special occasion …
    Daphne'sResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Linda, We are so sorry to hear you haven't enjoyed the overall experience due to the restaurant seating allocated to your reservation. Unfortunately we experience a high volume of requests for the Conservatory and we are unable to accommodate all of them due to the room size. We will be sure to share your comments with my colleagues to ensure we continue to improve on delivering exceptional service. Kind regards, Daphne's Team.

    We really enjoyed our food at daphnes. I was a little disappointed in where we ended up sitting as on the photos you only show an area where there are baubles on the ceiling and a fire however we was sat in a darker end of the restaurant with no festive decoration other than a small wreath on the wall. Food was really lovely. Quite a loud atmosphere so if I was to revisit we would perhaps go for lunch.

    Dear Chloe, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our food! We are sorry to hear that the seating wasn't to your liking. We would love to accommodate everybody's requests but sometimes we are unable due to the restaurant size. Apologies for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Daphne's Team.

    I had an incredible experience at Daphne’s . The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive from the start. I couldn’t get enough of the tiger prawns—it was absolutely delicious. The conservatory seating was such a lovely touch, adding a relaxed but refined vibe to the evening. I’ll definitely be going back—it’s a fantastic spot for a special night out.

    Dressed up for Christmas and menu has many choices. Waiter was helpful so we didn’t order multiple courses which would have been too much food for us. Restaurant is a little worn and food quality was good, not excellent. Apple tart with ice cream was beautifully prepared. Appreciate the holiday ambiance to make it feel like a special night. Be ready for a loud environment when the place is hopping.
