    All the food was excellent this evening. We especially like the tuna tartar. It was delicious. I had the baked sea bass and my husband had the octopus. Both entrees were excellent. We ended the evening with the special Valentine dessert and a coffee. We were very satisfied.

    Daphne is a restaurant truly worthy of 5 stars! I hosted my friends here for a galentines day brunch and we were truly impressed. The food was PHENOMENAL with each dish plated beautifully and rich with flavour. The staff was courteous, attentive, and friendly. Our server Armand aimed to please and succeeded in taking such great care of our table! The restaurant is SO LOVELY! The luxurious interior design adds to the experience. The manager Amanda also checks in on the tables and is so helpful with any special requests. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone who loves delicious food, A+ service, and great vibes.

    My go to spot for dinner before a show. Easy to get to by car or TTC. No need to rush as the theater is across the street. The food is always good, the drinks are cold and the service is perfect. The best thing is dining while listening to live jazz. Last night we had a talented pianist. A great way to start a night on the town.

    Three of us went for dinner before attending the theatre. We shared 2 entrees and 2 bowls of rice and had plenty of food. The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 star rating was because they had run out of Kingfisher Beer which was advertised in large signs outside the restaurant . We will return and sample other dishes, this time we had Butter Chicken and Basa fish curry.
