- SSSamS1 review5.0Dined on Sep 21, 2023I absolutely loved Daphne. The service was outstanding, they made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time. Everyone paid attention to detail and went above and beyond. One gentleman noticed I was sitting next to the door inside and it was a bit cool outside, he closed it without hesitation. Then later he mentioned that there was another table I could take to avoid the cold from the door opening and closing. I hadn’t mentioned it, but was very cold and appreciated his attentiveness and accepted the offer to switch tables. The server we had was great as well. The food was fantastic, we had the Gruyère doughnuts, asparagus pizza, mussels and coconut cream pie for dessert. The ambience was great (music slightly on the louder side) but overall great energy. I can’t say enough great things. Thank you! Looking forward to returning again.More infoDaphnePrice: Very Expensive• American• Financial District•4.4
