    Nice place, food was good. But felt rushed to leave, so that was unfortunate. We had only been there for 45 mins.

    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.

    Met my friends for brunch and we were all pleasantly surprised how nice the restaurant was and the service was very good. The menu didn’t offer huge number of choices but the ones they did were very tasty. Was just a very enjoyable experience and the couple I went with were very interested to try it out for dinner. I definitely will be back.

    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.
