We sat at the counter and enjoyed the theatre of the 3 chefs getting orders out. Even salads were made with love. We're planing a return visit and will explore more of the menu. Staff were great from sitting us down, serving drinks, taking our orders and clearing up all efficiently, quickly and unobtrusively done. Skewers of all varieties, croquettes, baby corn and bread & humus with burger and beef dripping cooked chips were the choices this time. Real tasty food, prepared with love seasoned to perfection and not a bad price...

Stunning venue overlooking St Pauls. Flavours were amazing and presentation out of this world. Took my sister there for a long overdue girls night, Antonio was our server and couldn't have been more helpful and attentive.

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.
