    It's always a special treat to eat at Daphne's. I was impressed with the wine list - it seems to have expanded. I would have liked to see more by the glass offerings. The food was excellent, as usual, and the portions very generous. We will be back!

    Most of all the entrees are absolutely delicious but tried the broiled scallops and shrimp for the first time and they were just bland. The Parmesan Grouper is awesome as well as the twice baked potatoes and homemade salad dressings. Will continue to eat here. Service was excellent.

    Daphne Lodge is always a pleasant experience. We took our family to celebrate our son defending his dissertation successfully and became an official Dr. with a PhD. I made reservations for 6, and everything was already set up when we arrived. The service was wonderful, and the food is always delicious
We ordered crab fingers and fried pickles for appetizers, and the meals consisted of Parmesan baked grouper (my favorite), fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, fried catfish, baked grouper with sides of salad, cheese grits or twice baked potatoes and hushpuppies! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are searching for a pricey, but delicious meal. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
