Best American Restaurants in King East

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!

We enjoy coming here. However, it has become quite pricey. Hot House was always a bit lower than others, but not now.

Fantastic spot - great music, great atmosphere, super service, delicious food. Will be going back many a time.

I can’t say we had one issue. We loved everything we ordered. The ceasar salad was excellent too. The brisket had such a distinct flavour and was so tender. The pork belly burnt ends were saucy and apple flavoured goodness. They have an unbelievable bourbon list. We loved sitting up at the bar. Wouldn’t sit anywhere else. Cheers

Great place to grab food and drink before the hockey game!
