It is like stepping back to a night club in a Hollywood Musical of the the 1930s. We even were lucky enough to have a violin led jazz band to entertain us. The food was interesting and not overly priced for the quality. The only thing missing was Fred and Ginger doing "Cheek to Cheek."

Felt as though it was very overrated and despite the beautiful building, and lovely atmosphere it was nothing to write home about and would not eat there again.

I've visited twice for afternoon tea, and loved the place!! Sandwiches and cakes were utterly divine, and reasonable in price. On one of the visits we went on a Saturday afternoon, there was a wonderful jazz band playing which only added to the fabulous ambiance of the place. The waiting staff are attentive without being intrusive, and really helpful. The... More

I hadn't been to The Daffodil for a while and when a friend suggested going along on a Monday night to the Jazz evening we all agreed. I had a cousin staying and she joined us.

We have been a few times and enjoyed it each time, fine dining all the way. The truffle chips were amazing, and the experience is really great, can be expensive so wouldnt go all the time, but on special occasions.

Very unusual setting - old cinema converted to restaurant. Food was excellent, high standard and service was equally good. We hadn't booked but still managed to get in (week night). Busy but not noisy - very pleasant evening. Not cheap but ideal for special evening.
