Dear Daphni is a stylish restaurant that transports diners to a retro setting reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s. The atmosphere remains warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a high-quality meal. The menu showcases fresh Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, with highlights such as the Persian Paloma, smoked beet and pistachio mint mezze, hamachi crudo, lamb kofta, Moroccan meatballs, Turkish dumplings, tuna tartare, lamb, and salmon. The service is attentive, with friendly and well-informed servers who cater to food restrictions. Recently, the restaurant has introduced an à la carte menu, allowing guests to enjoy mezze separately or with their meals. This change has led to a variety of delicious options, including new items like roasted warm olives and babaganush, along with endless fresh pita. Drinks, including the Marrakesh mule and margarita, are also noteworthy. With a diverse selection of wine by the glass and reasonable pricing, Dear Daphni is still a must-visit for those seeking a unique dining experience. The restaurant can be quite busy, so planning ahead is recommended to secure a table.
