My daughter and I had lunch at Daphne’s. The front desk was very accommodating when we were running late and needed a later slot. My daughter ordered spaghetti alle vongole but unfortunately there was sand left in the clams and it was inedible. The waiter was understanding and swiftly changed the dish to a different item from the menu. However, this is the second time that this has happened at Daphne’s so we felt that it would be helpful to speak up about it.

Overall experience wasn’t great considering the brand name. Prawns were good, liked it. The pasta was super bland however. The staff wasn’t the friendliest and felt a bit uncomfortable.

Beautiful atmosphere, we sat in the conservatory and it was very pretty. Staff were very attentive and brought out some little chocolates and a candle for my friends birthday. Although the overall aesthetic was very nice, the food was very basic and expected a higher standard
