    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.

    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.

    Food ok but nothing exceptional, the staff was snooty, not helpful or welcoming. Been going on visits to London since the 90s, but the era is over would not go back they’re too full of themselves and not worth the price.

    Dear Deb, We sincerely regret that your experience wasn't ideal. We care deeply about our guests and want to provide the most comfortable experience possible. We hope you give us another chance soon, so we can share a more positive experience. Kind regards, Daphne's Team.
