    Daphne was an amazing dining experience. I was in Toronto to enjoy Mother's Day Weekend and a family Celebration. Daphne was their choice of restaurant. Its very indiscreet street signage, to walking info a beautifully decorated welcomed us to an evening of sheer delight!! We had the MOST charming host/server Taren. He was professional, charming and was genuine in celebrating our family wedding engagement and pre-Mother's Day. Our food selection was a 12 out of 10!! We enjoyed Fito Misto, done in very light tempura. Then we had Rib Eye 16 ox, done to perfection., Lobster Cppelletti and Daphne Burger with truffled Fries and side of grilled brocollini. This was an sheerly elegant dining experience which ended with a sticky toffiee pudding to share. But that was not it,.....Taren then arrived with a "Congratulations on your Engagement" to our family and a "Happy Mother's Day" desserts to end off a "Perfect Evening" Thank you Taren and Daphne....see you next time I visti.

    I had an amazing experience here from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can really tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought into both taste and presentation. What made the experience even better was the service. It was truly excellent — attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out at just the right pace. A special shoutout to our waiter, Bryan, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.
