Came here for a group event and we had the entire outdoor back alley reserved and it was a nice open space. Service was solid and attentive. Food was nice. Had the steak frites which was good. read more

It's a very aesthetic place with lots of photo ops. It's definitely designed very nicely with couches and unique interior. That's really about all I would say is amazing about the place. The salmon was $44 (before tax) and it was a small portion. It was just salmon nothing special about it. The flavour of the sauce complemented well and the skin of the fish was perfectly crispy. A well cooked salmon but it definitely felt like it was missing a little umfp. Regretted not trying the pizza or calamari. Service was great but I would probably only come here again to take pictures. read more

I really wanted to try out this restaurant because of how hyped it is on online and the food looked good but i knew it wasn't going to be amazing. I got to the special steak cut of the day which was a bone in rib eye. It was 32oz and good to share with 1-2 people. I also got the truffle butter with it and would skip on that as well. I would just skip the steak as there was nothing special, i mean it's not a steakhouse but i'm a little sad. The sides were good. and the pizza was good too. Service was just meh, my server wasn't that very attentive but maybe he was having a hard day. This restaurant is only worth it if you're going for the ambiance, appetizers and drinks. read more

It was ok. For the price and atmosphere, I expected it to be a lot better. It was $28 for a burger and fries. The fries were nothing special and the beef patty had very little flavour. The caramel hazelnut brownie($18) didn't taste like any of those things. If they didn't call it a brownie, my expectations would have been lower. The service was excellent. The bathrooms were behind a mirrored wall which was kinda neat. read more

Daphne is a gorgeous restaurant right in the heart of the financial district! Highly recommend as a venue for business/client meals. Almost all of the dishes we ordered were delicious (with the exception of a slightly underseasoned salmon), and the wine list is extensive! Highlights for me were the burrata and the clam campanelli. Great ambiance and service - I will definitely be back! read more

I came here for weekend brunch this afternoon and ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was just okay -- it was fairly tender but lacked flavour and didn't have a nice crust, which was a bit disappointing. On the positive side, the hash browns were excellent: perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also tried the lychee and cactus pear juice, but unfortunately it tasted quite artificial and wasn't to my liking. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and nicely designed with comfortable seating. Service was a highlight -- our server was very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, the experience was good thanks to the atmosphere and service, but the food didn't really stand out for me, so I don't think I'd return specifically for the brunch. read more

Amazing dinner spot near the financial district. The interior is so warm and cozy. Tarin was an awesome host, we had a wonderful time. The dishes were bursting with flavour. Tuna crudo with strawberry was a surprising favourite. The coconut cream pie dessert was also delectable. Highly recommend! read more

This is not the type of restaurant I usually go for -- typically I prefer Dundas/Ossington-type styles...dim, intimate, vibey, a certain je ne sais quoi. Basically, I don't normally choose restaurants in the central downtown core, which often feel too large, impersonal and touristy. With that being said, my friends chose Daphne for a recent late dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised! While I didn't enjoy the strict welcome our party of 4 received -- being told there was a minimum spend per person at 9:30pm on a Friday with a restaurant that was 2/3 full (huh?! How insulting. I don't think I've ever heard that one before), I enjoyed everything else. It's a large restaurant with a main room and front room (we were seated in the front room) and it's pretty gorgeous. Sumptuously designed and chic, everything from the tiled floor to the furniture and waiter uniforms. The food was also excellent! I got the lobster cappalletti ($58) which was outstanding, along with a tasty Caesar-style salad with little gem lettuce. My friend greatly enjoyed her steak and basically everyone at the table had a good experience. Well done, Daph. Can I call you Daph? :) read more

This is a safe choice for dinner with friends or co-workers. The menu has something for everyone. The restaurant is nicely designed, their patio is also really cozy. I had the beef bolognese as my main. It was tasty but nothing to write home about. Same with the brussels sprouts and burrata. Both were good as expected. On the pricier side but pretty average for the area you are in, the level of service and the space. I would come here again and recommend it. read more

Daphne A must-add to your next girls night -- this place truly nails the balance of ambiance and great food. This restaurant is so beautiful, and it has the perfect effortlessly elegant vibe. Definitely adding this to one of my go-to restaurants.

High end place. Great ambiance. I just tried the pepperoni pizza and it was the worst I ever had

Came here on a Saturday night with a group of 8 for a friends birthday and had an amazing dinner experience. Drinks - ordered an espresso martini and an 8oz Pinot Grigio. Both really flavour and an excellent compliment to the meal. The espresso martini came with a little sweet honey comb like cracker sitting -- as a drink topper and it was super cute! Food- many of their food items include appetizers, pizza, steaks, seafood and mains. It was a big menu and very difficult to decide what I wanted as everything looked amazing! I ended up ordering the funghi pizza and it was so yummy. A perfect crunch, toppings were flavourful and complimented with a side of their chili sauce (ask for it!!!!) funghi pizza was umami and cheesy exactly what I was looking for. Service - friendly, attentive and fast. Our server Ethan was great. Able to explain and answer any questions from the menu, make recommendations accordingly. He was able to bring up friendly conversation. My drink wasn't empty without water all night! Though it was a busy night in the restaurant, our group was very pleased with the service he had provided us that night. Ambiance- dress nice, as it is a classy homey-vibe. The washrooms are a whole mirrored wall. The lighting is dim, yet so cute to have as an intimate date or group dinner. Highly recommended reservations ahead of time. 4/5! Recommend to those looking for a cozy fancy lil dinner/lunch whatever you please! read more

I had a decent dinner at Daphne on a Sunday evening! I don't think it's as mediocre as the other Yelpers alluded, however after extensive research, I did order "safe" choices. Atmosphere is super cute. Very trendy. Very cute for date night. I had no issues with service. I had wine, the little gem, and the chicken. The little gem had a little too much dressing, but was light and flavorful. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy. The vibe is the best thing about Daphne, but the food is pretty good as well. read more

We had such a lovely lunch here celebrating a coworker's milestone birthday. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, perfect for a midday celebration. The food was excellent - fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Everything came out promptly, which made it easy for our group to relax and enjoy the occasion without feeling rushed. A special thank you to Mike and Thomas, who made the experience even better. They were attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly for our table. Their great service really added to the celebratory feel. A perfect spot for a special lunch--we'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for brunch with seven girls and we had reservations. We were seated in the back where we had a rectangular table so that we could see each other, but the noise was so loud that we really couldn't hear across the table. It was a little unfortunate because some of us hadn't seen each other in over a year and a half so it would've been nice to be able to converse. I had the salmon Benedict and the green juice. Oddly enough, the majority of us had the eggs Benedict for our meal. I did not like my green juice at all. It was overpowering with cucumber and cucumber is not my favourite thing. I was told that it would be underwhelming however, it was quite the opposite and for nine dollars I didn't think it was worth it. The aesthetics inside is gorgeous. Definitely an Instagram place. I wouldn't say it on the top of my list of places to return to just given the experience that we had with the size of our group. Needless to say the eggs, Benny was awesome. read more

Daphne occupies a great location and has a beautiful dining room, but their hosting operations needs improvement. They seem to seat people upon arrival, rather than pre-planning arrangements based on reservations, which is how we were sat beside the drafty door despite booking a month in advance. The menu isn't overly exciting but offers a safe selection so there will be options for all. A light spread of nibbles started our meal: Olives ($8) - a variety of olives in a light citrus za'atar oil. Bread and butter ($8) - a sizeable basket containing different breads like focaccia, sesame baguette, and whole wheat. They were all soft and fresh and went with nicely with the whipped cultured butter. It would have been even better if the bread was warmed. Little gem salad ($20) - your typical salad that resembled a lightly dressed Ceasar. If it had more of the garlic parmesan dressing it would stand out better but did go with the other bites and kept things light. If you want to visit Flavour Town, hop on the black truffle pizza ($36) train. While the price may take you aback, the pie does contain slices of the fungi, you'll find them scattered amongst the thinly sliced potatoes. The soft puffy crust was a tad soggy in the centre, but it wasn't surprising given the egg that oozes over the pie adding a lovely creaminess. The dish was delicious with the addition of taleggio cheese, potato crema, and herbs. The duck mafalda ($35) was equally flavourful with the crimped pasta pulling in so much of the shredded duck and spicy sauce into its crevices. Although the dish isn't the prettiest, I loved the powerful punch of the sauce, which has a pesto-feel but still the freshness of a red sauce. For those abstaining from red meat, the tuna ribeye ($65) offers a 16oz hunk of protein that's great for sharing. We're warned the chimichurri is spicy, so we asked for the condiment on the side. In reality, there's not a lick of heat but was heavy on the citrus and was really needed to season the tuna, which otherwise is merely sitting in a muted truffle ponzu. The fish paired well with the sunchokes ($16), the root vegetables well roasted and tossed with sunflower tahini, brown butter, and caramelized honey that created a tasty crust. These would even work well with the little gem salad. I can see why the cauliflower ($32) is considered a main. An entire head of the vegetable arrives covered with sauces so there's a heartiness even without protein. Elements like the basil herb sauce gave it a freshness while the roasted grapes some sweetness. Still, it's a lot for one person so is best shared with a large group. I would not save room for dessert. If I liked chocolate, the Daphne bar ($16) was tasty, like a tuxedo cake in bar form with its dark chocolate mousse and caramel wrapped in a soft chocolate ganache. Alas, chocolate and I have a difficult relationship. We had high hopes for the coconut cream pie ($17), but it resembled a white chocolate mousse rather than pie as the dessert lacked the salty crust element. The passionfruit gel was also too tropical and took away from richness I expected from a cream pie. If anything, it's pretty to look at. Strawberry shortcake ($18) is usually one of my favourite desserts, but Daphne's was terrible... give me a supermarket version any day. The makrut lime cream was overpowering giving the cake a lemongrass flavour and the black sesame adding an earthy nuttiness that didn't compliment the strawberries. read more

A cute brunch spot for you and your friends! What a beautiful interior this place has from the moment you walk in. They have an open kitchen concept and the dining room is nicely lit and bright. Our server was attentive and always filling our water cups, so we were never thirsty. Washrooms are in a row hidden by a wall of mirrors and are unisex so you can pick whichever one is open. The washrooms camouflage into the wall though so I saw a few people confused if there were more washrooms along the way. I started my brunch with a vanilla latte. Their only milk alternative is almond or oat. You won't be able to find soy here. Which isn't too big of a problem since it's nice they even have milk alternatives to offer. As I'm writing the review and looking at their menu options, I can see on their website that they have both a brunch and lunch menu, but I'm not realizing I only got offered the brunch menu to look at. However, here's what we got for food from the brunch menu: Pancakes: 5/5 - Both beautiful to look at and so delicious! They're fluffy and tasty! Comes with a berry compote, lemon curd, coconut and maple syrup. This was great for sharing! Shakshuka: 3.5/5 - Your typical shakshuka dish. It comes with a super long piece of bread which was a great conversation starter. Taste was nothing special but still a hearty dish. Club Sandwich: 5/5 - Another beautifully presented dish. It was a good sandwich with the raw seared yellow fin tuna, baco and aioli. We changed our fries to a salad which was a solid 5/5! Hash Brown 4/5 - This is not your regular hash brown you can expect to arrive at the table. Instead, it came in one block looking like toast. It was great though because it was very crispy on all surfaces! Served with hollandaise in the middle and truffle cheese - YUM! Overall I have a great time here and can't wait to come back to check out their dinner menu based on other Yelpers reviews! read more

First time at Daphne for lunch. It as good they sat us at the bar area because it's quieter and I was there to catch up with a friend. It seems like they sat all the business lunch crowd in the main dining room. I really want to give it 4 stars but both my friend and I had an upset stomach!!! It was flavourful but clearly something wasn't fresh. She went after we had the mussels & pizza so the likely culprit is the mussels? I didn't eat as much as she did so it didn't hit me till I got home. It wast that drastic but you know it was something from lunch. My friend really enjoyed the flavours of every dish we ordered. The branzino and the brussel sprouts were really good too. I get they want to be on top of service, they kept coming to ask how every dish was, if they can take our plates but several times we weren't done. When the staff asked if we want coffee or tea, I asked for Americano with cream he forgot the cream. no biggie to me, just simple things they miss for a lot of checking in ... I don't know if they offer dessert at lunch, the waiter only asked us if we wanted coffee or tea. We were busy catching up so we didn't ask for the dessert menu but we could have ordered since it was a belated bday meal. They are definitely friendly, polite, good, but not quite on point. We'll likely come back and try brunch! read more

Finally decided to check this restaurant out. Came in for late dinner, was greeted by friendly staff. Inside, it appears smaller than it actually is. The ambiance was lovely, mood lighting, exposed kitchen. I highly recommend taking a picture in the hallway leading to the bathroom, so beautifully designed. Our server was absolutely delightful, the service was quick our mains arrived before our appetizers. Steak was probably the tastiest item on our table, cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Next up was the bone marrow, the earthy seasoning is what this dish absolutely delicious. The potato pizza was unique, the fungi pizza was average. The ravioli was probably our least favourite, it lacked flavour. I do recommend trying the tempura squash, the honey drizzle on top makes it tasty! Overall, we enjoyed our dinner, though they were closing we didn't feel rushed, I highly recommend checking it out Note: they serve halal read more

My friend and I tried out this resto on a Tuesday night and it was actually quite busy this resto has 3 rooms and a beautiful terrace. We sat outside because the weather perfect. The decor and aesthetics is 10/10. The service is a bit off in the sense that that servers seemed awkward and out of place. They were not very organized and some times it took a while before they came back to check up on us so ended up asking whoever was available. The food and drinks were really good and the dessert (coconut cream pie) was amazing! It was pretty and tasted so good. We ordered the ham, chili and lime doughnuts and also the fish. We really enjoyed it. We shared all the dishes. My friend ordered the herbaltini and I ordered the Botanist which is a mocktail. Overall we really enjoyed the restaurant and will definitely be back!! read more

January 13, 2024 - Really cute restaurant! I went here for brunch with some friends. our server Sam was very nice and attentive. Food: Bread & Butter Steak & Eggs Pancakes Eggs Benedict Drinks: Daphne Negroni Pineapple Margarita Everything was delicious, I liked the steak & eggs, I found the pancake a bit heavy (I'm a criminal I love McD's pancakes or maybe I just like thin pancakes?... umm when I go back maybe I can ask if they make them thin, cause those pancakes were thick) lol... everything was very good. The bread with butter was tasty too. I liked the crunchy salt on the butter. My steak was cooked medium rare and it was soft and juicy went well with the (rice) hash brown. I found that the hash brown was a bit sweet but the steak had enough flavour and salt to counterbalance it. The drinks are strong!! Loved it! Whoever was the bartender, I love you. I ordered the Pineapple Margarita and gosh darn was it strong and spicy. I liked the art on the side of the glass but wasn't sure if I should have licked it.

From start to the end of our dining experience, Daphne did not fall short of amazingness. We were most impressed by the tuna steak and the waldorf salad but all the dishes are of fresh ingredients and great presentation.

I've walked by this place so many times and been awed by their stunning interior and gorgeous patio, so at last I finally got to try it. Overall, it was a very solid spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for either a date night or a friendly dinner. First of all, the interior was so clean and well-designed, it was one of the few restaurants that wasn't over the top bougie and actually very aesthetically pleasing. Service was great too, no complaints and very attentive. The food and drink was a bit hit and miss. I tried their version of the old fashioned and a paper plane, and I thought both were underwhelming. However, my fellow diners really seemed to love their cocktails. For apps we tried bread and butter, tuna carpaccio, and squash tempura - all were just average. For mains we had the wagyu, duck mafalda, tuna steak, fries, and sunchokes - all of which were great! I especially loved their thick cut fries which were perfectly crisped, and the sauce that came with the steak. The duck pasta was interesting as it was a noodle shape I had never encountered before, and the sauce was almost like a duck ragu with crispy breadcrumbs which worked so well texturally. Finally for dessert we tried the ice cream sundae which was a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, I was thinking 3.5 stars for the value but I'll lean towards a 4. I really like the ambiance despite it being a bit loud to have conversations, and the food is definitely on the pricy side so you have to know what to order. I'm looking forward to coming back in the summer to check out that patio! read more

Ambiance Elegant in its simplicity, sparse at times and understated in a regal way. I thought it was sexy but slightly cramped. Food To start we had the bread, oysters and marrow. The marrow had entirely too much bread with it and one of the half's of my bone had no marrow in it when it was served which was very disappointing. They did remove it from my bill however, I was looking forward to it and it's sparseness was disappointing. Not worth the money for this starter IMO. The bread was excellent but I'm not hard to please when it comes to bread. The Oysters wee from Virginia and BC, I really don't like west coast oysters and our server was unsure of the types so we gambled and subsequently lost on the starter. I had the Wagyu with a side of sprouts as a main and I thought the spouts were charred fat too much but still tasty. I had to pick through the burned bits to get edible portions. The Wagyu was perfectly done. Had it been over cooked or tasteless I would have given Daphne 2 stars. It saved the meal. Service was sadly, lacking. The Som was very cool but our server seemed to be on her first day and was unsure of every question we asked. The cocktails were small and slightly overpriced and the wine selection by the glass needs help. Probably won't eat here again unless we hear from a friend that there's been a vast improvement overall. read more

One thing about Toronto is that there's always an endless number of new restaurants popping up. I keep seeing this beautiful interior on TikTok and IG, and I must say it's just as nice in real life. We had: Amberjack Crudo: This was light and refreshing with a sweet passionfruit ponzu and a hint of spice from the serrano chili. The fish was slightly on the fishier side but overall it was good Roasted Bone Marrow: I actually usually love bone marrow but something about the port jam it was served with made it too overpowering House Pizza: This was good but average, we added shaved truffle which added some aroma to the dish Bone-in Ribeye: This was actually the best thing we had. The steak was tender, juicy and had tons of flavor. One of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant in a long time. This really surprised us because it's not a steak house by any means and the other items we had were quite mid Whole Roasted Sea Bream: This was good, most of the flavors came from the romesco and salsa which it was served with Duck Malfada: This was apparantly one of the most popular pastas on their menu. The flavors were lacking and we even forgot that there was duck in the pasta. We couldn't finish it and didn't want to take it home either Daphne Potato: This reminded me of the twice baked potato from the KEG but better. Super creamy and cheesy, I just wish I added the caviar option. Coconut Cream Pie: This wasn't overly sweet, and had lots fragrant coconut bits. Some of our dining companions thought this was the best dish of the night When we were leaving, we noticed the washroom connects to this massive patio and loungey-bar area which was even more STUNNING. Even though I wasn't that impressed with the food, I'd probably come back for their patio and give a few more items a try read more

Beautiful place, great food, an absolute 10/10 for patio ambiance. They launched recently so they might still be working out a few service kinks. I'm excited to see this place reach it's full potential. I went there with my friend around 8:30 pm on a Saturday. We were both traveling from out of town. We'd heard great things about this new restaurant. I can tell locals are very intrigued too, we heard many people walk by and say "what is THAT place?!" The patio has a lush, welcoming, upscale vibe. The drink menu looked delicious, so we put cocktail orders in right away. Our server couldn't have been nicer. In response to the earlier review commenting on the "Hooters vibe"--I'm just stunned. Their outfits were pretty standard waitstaff attire. We got the Gruyère donuts--TOTALLY worth the hype! We also got beets, just delicious, and the veggie ravioli, which was so fresh. My friend is a vegetarian, and there were plenty of options for her. Our waitress was very apologetic, but the wait for our cocktails was nuts. We got them after our food was served. They WERE good, I got the espresso drink with the cheese foam and it was like a delicious alcoholic Frappuccino. Other than the wait in the cocktails, this is a lovely new restaurant with potential, especially during patio season. read more

Daphne - Great drinks and vibe on the patio - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Restaurants like Daphne are the reason I don't like to try new restaurants in Toronto. I am still looking for my unicorn- a "nice" ambiance with great food. Daphne was, unfortunately, not it. Ambiance is stunning. I came primarily to see the restaurant and to be in the physical space. I was curious about the little lamp they had on the table so I lifted it to see the power source, only to be told by the bouncer not to do that because the light will blind the other patrons (there was nobody there). I get that he was doing his job but the problem with living in 2023 is that there's no nuance. I literally just had it up for three seconds and he approached. Not great to start my birthday dinner with an eyeroll moment. Food is lacklustre. Ordered tuna carpaccio to start and BC salmon for main. BF ordered ravioli for main with side of brussels sprouts. Tuna Carpaccio was a strong start. Would eat this again. Nice flavours, well-balanced, etc. BC salmon was fine. Nothing super special. I guess for the price I was hoping for a bigger piece of fish. Ravioli was nicely presented but had absolutely no flavour. This is the problem with restaurants where 99% of the kitchen staff are smokers- nobody seasons things properly. Brussels sprouts were fine but it's something you can make at home easily with an air fryer. Nothing to report. For being an upscale restaurant, the wallpaper in the bathrooms was peeling off, the toilet paper hardware needed to be fixed and the roll was sitting on the ledge, and the light fixture was askew. Wouldn't come back. read more

Came here for dinner last night for our friend's birthday. The interior is very pretty and modern. Cute and romantic spot. The food presentation looks amazing, and the food was okay. What I am disappointed in was that our server spilled our cocktail drinks all over the birthday girl, obviously it was by accident. The birthday girl outfit was drenched, and she gave her some tonic water to help remove any stains. Of course, this ruined our dinner experience because she is sitting there in her wet clothes. But we are trying to make the best out of it and enjoy our dinner. The waitress apologized and felt bad, and the manager came by and apologize as well. But I am sorry an apologize isn't good enough. A free dessert and a round shots (5 shots) does not compensate for spilling the cocktail all over the birthday girl. We were shocked they didn't give us a discount and our bill was over $700 dollars. Yes, I understand it was an accident, but the birthday girl was wet thru the whole dinner. They didn't even offer to pay for her dry cleaning for her dress. It's just unacceptable because it was their fault, and they didn't even do the bare minimum to make it up to the birthday girl. We left disappointed in the service and lack of compassion. read more

First time at this restaurant and it was better than I expected. Everything was good and had good flavours. The duck pasta was excellent and was so flavourful. The Tina ribeye was tender and had great flavours. The chicken was done well and tasted amazing. The beef tartare was good as well. The bone marrow was very good as well and it was a good portion. It needed just a touch of salt to enhance the taste. The sunchokes were really interesting and were excellent. The strawberry shortcake was a great end to the meal. read more

Beautiful ambience, decoration and design. However, there are a lot of cons, to begin with the service is terrible, we were a party of 7 and they didn't check on our table after we got the food. One of my friends spilled her cocktail and it was such an eye sore to look at since no one was able to come by. We ordered a lot of food and they didn't even bother taking some empty plates out of our way, our water was never filled. We had to ask for some service (take the plates away and refill our water) the guy had a shocked face and was almost annoyed. To start off I got the 67 shaken, very delicious and sweet if you want it stronger it's an additional $13. 9/10. Bread & Butter - Completely skip this dish nothing special. 0/10 Tuna Carpaccio - Its okay, nothing special 5/10 Charred Padron - The romesco sauce has a little kick to it, peppers has a nice grill. 6/10 Tempura Squash - Flavours are meh, couldn't really taste the yogurt/honey/mint they mentioned on the menu. Tastes just like tempura at a sushi place. Would not recommend 3/10 Roasted bone marrow - The bone marrow is huge, the jam goes really well with the dish. If you like bone marrow I would suggest trying it. Again nothing outstanding. 7/10 Salt Spring Mussels - Fresh and delicious would suggest this for the table 8/10 Beef Tartare - Our table really enjoyed this dish, flavours are spot on, would get again 9/10 Black Truffle pizza - I personally really love truffle, theres some strong truffle flavours and each bite was delicious - a bit oily 9.5/10 Porterhouse steak - They didn't cook this medium rare, like we have asked. It was clearly a medium but because of the poor service we didn't even bring it up to them. Terrible experience. 2/10 Red Sea Bream - I believe we paid around 160, this dish was delicious, would recommend and get again. Spaghetti Umbriachi - Our server recommended us to get 2 of these for the table, im glad he did. This dish has depth, the flavours with spice so good! 10/10. Duck Mafalda - a bit too salty, smaller dish as a main, 6/10 Brussels sprouts - not a bad side to share, nothing special 4/10 Hand cut fries - skip, fries were cold by the time it got to us. 1/10 Needs better service for a redo. read more
