I had an incredible experience at Daphne’s . The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive from the start. I couldn’t get enough of the tiger prawns—it was absolutely delicious. The conservatory seating was such a lovely touch, adding a relaxed but refined vibe to the evening. I’ll definitely be going back—it’s a fantastic spot for a special night out.
