"Located on the ground floor of the Rittenhouse, Michael Schulson’s Dear Daphni opened in December 2024 serving Eastern Mediterranean dishes in a maximalist dining room awash in color. Chef Ryan Lloyd turns out items like Moroccan meatballs, a saganaki starter, lamb-filled Turkish dumplings, and tuna tartare. The mezzes hone in on vegetables — eggplant, cucumber salad, smoked beets — while mains include an array of kebabs paired with pilaf, Tunisian lamb shank, and a whole branzino with lemon and dill." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
