Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Darling is a charming gem that promises an "amazing" dining experience with its "fantastic food" and "exceptional service." The eclectic menu features standout dishes like anchovy toast and delightful brunch offerings such as brioche French toast. While the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, be prepared for some noise. Highly recommended for "date nights" or gatherings with friends.

Can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner, it was so stylish in there. The food portions were huge… the place was full so we sat at the bar but even the bar stools are comfortable. Perfectly priced, staff friendly. Only complaint is it was a little cold due to the weather and the draft from door, but would still highly recommend.

Went here last night for a double date. The food and cocktails were tasty. Cozy environment and our server was great! Was a little loud, but it’s a smaller space and we went on a Saturday.

Brunch at Darling was so good! The service was super friendly and welcoming. I had the braised pork belly, and honestly, it was one of the best brunch dishes I’ve had in a long time. The whole place just has a really great vibe.

Small portions and mediocre food. Best part of dinner was the anchovy toast which is two small bite sized toasts. Beef carpaccio - it was ok but too much random blobs of sauce. Spaghetti - average and nothing special. Small portion. Steak - it was good but too much fat on each piece. Overall would not return and wouldn’t recommend it for dinner.

The staff were friendly and attentive. Maybe it was our choices but everything was just a bit too rich. Food was very tasty but all too rich.

Changed of menu, price increased but portion reduced and food not the same as before. Ordered Eggs Bennys, Mushroom Eggs Bennys and French toast. Portions of potatoes that came with our bennys were lesser compared to the bennys served to the customers beside our table.
