   Great lunch spent sitting at the bar. A bit pricey, but you pay for the setting and position which cannot be faulted

   The food, service, setting is always perfect at Daphne’s. Definitely still my favourite restaurant in London. Love the outside seating too, especially now the road has been pedestrianised. Will be back soon!

   This is our neighbourhood restaurant and we always love to come back. We appreciate that the specials always change. In summer it’s great to sit outside.

   I can't really fault the service, from the warm welcome to the well-timed visits to the table, it was well-organised without feeling overbearing or inattentive. I appreciated being able to sample wines before choosing, and the drinks overall were enjoyable. A particular highlight was the potent yet surprisingly reasonably priced strawberry grappa. If only the food matched the service. The broccoli soup was pleasant, though I’m not usually a fan of puréed soups. The real disappointment, however, was the halibut. At £44.50, I expected something genuinely tasty, but the portion was small and the flavour was seriously lacking. It just didn’t have anything going for it. The fish needed bolder seasoning or something more imaginative to lift it. Given the delicious black cod I had last month at one of the same owner’s other restaurants, I expected far better. Yes, black cod is naturally richer and more flavourful, but that makes it all the more important to do something extra with halibut. As it was, it was just very bland and I realised later the brown shrimps were missing. Also, all the tomatoes in the tomato salad were not fresh. My husband’s Veal Milanese was fine, not bad, not amazing. Desserts were good and ended things on a better note. The table was an ok size and quite cosy - couples are generally seated corner-wise rather than face to face, which is nice, but I did spend much of the evening being stabbed in the shoulder by an overly ambitious orchid plant.
