I would love to have eaten here. There was a sweet table outside that they would not sit me at because I had a dog with me. They wanted me to sit forlorn at a group of unoccupied tables in the next bay. What is wrong with people? Do they think somehow dog germs will migrate mysteriously inside? I will never know what the food is like because I will never come back.

My girlfriends and I recently visited Dear Daphni for a birthday celebration and needless to say, we'll be coming back again. Liz, one of the Front of House coordinators, ensured we had the best dining experience on my first visit. From assigning the perfect table and attentive server (Seth his name was), continuously checking in if we needed anything, and indulging our request to have our celebratory photos taken while still being able to keep a watchful but friendly eye on the restaurant to make sure incoming guests were being greeted and accommodated while still ensuring seated tables were having a lovely dining experience - that is certainly no easy feat. As Sampan alumni, I have the earned discernment to say Liz was absolutely the calm in the chaos last Friday night.

As for the food, we had the Moroccan meatballs, mezze platter, crisps, assorted kebabs, branzino, and the lamb chops. Everything was truly well done that evening even down to the pita bread that reminded me of a bakery during my recent travels to Marrakesh. And the lamb shops were absolutely worth breaking the no meat Friday rule of the Lent season - needless to say my girlfriends and I can't wait for our next visit.

Amazing food!!! Went with family. The seasonal dips and spreads were shared by the 4 of us. We ordered assorted kabobs. The lamb kabobs was incredible..tender and well seasoned as we're the prawn and chicken. Drinks were outstanding and the waitstaff is incredible. Highly recommend that you make a reservation here if you are in Philly!!!

We had a wonderful dinner! . The waitress was personable and attentive, even though it was a busy night and she was also helpful with our selections. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the food was delicious. At our waitresses’s suggestion we split all courses: the Mezza for an appetizer, and the Greek salad and the King Prawns as an entree… it was more food than we could eat!. Every course including our drinks was delicious. Our only complaint was the noise level but, it did quiet down by the time our meal came. Highly recommend!

The food was very amazing. I am a vegetarian and there were plenty of choices. Our sever, Arijana, let me know what the best vegetarian dishes were. She also helped my partner decide his meat options. She was a very helpful and attentive server. She was great with all of our requests (we had a bunch). The food and service were awesome. We will be back.

Went for happy hour and sat at the bar…… it was our first time there and it was absolutely beautiful with a great vibe. 10/10 for drinks and food. Food was absolutely delicious and the cost was more than affordable for happy hour. Our bartender Chris was top notch! He was personable and made sure we left happy. We will definitely be back.

I had a fantastic experience and truly value the exceptional service provided by Seth. He was a great waiter, and I'm grateful to Daniel for his warm hospitality. Jess brought such wonderful energy and was well-informed about the area. The food was amazing, and the ambiance was impeccable! Branzino was my favorite, along with Greek salad, pilaf rice, hummus, and pita 10/10.
