Best Casual Restaurants in Old Strathcona

First time @ Darling. I don’t think it’s gonna be the last. Concise menu and wine list. Food was excellently made. I’m glad I went and experienced it with a friend. It’s a smaller room, which is nice a good bar area. Clean washrooms. My server, Adam was quite friendly too and engaging. 

My boyfriend and I visited Sabor for our anniversary dinner and had an unbelievable experience. Not only did every employee acknowledge our special day, the restaurant provided us with a card at our table congratulating us. Our server Kim was so knowledgeable in the restaurant, preferred dishes and the wine list. Additionally, as I am celiac, their kitchen was so accommodating. Almost anything on the menu can be adjusted to be gluten free or naturally comes gluten free. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for any event, and especially special occasions. The atmosphere was comfortable and quaint and the servers are very attentive but not overwhelming. The food portions are massive, as a party of 2, we definitely had left overs from our 2 main courses we shared. We will definitely be back for another dinner in the future.

Happy Hour is a great way to enjoy the tacos and some drinks for less! Bang for your buck, indeed! The service is always attentive, prompt, and warm. The staff are friendly and we’ve never had to wait for our food/drinks for more than 15 minutes even on extremely busy nights. Great atmosphere with pleasant music without being too loud and disruptive. One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Will continue to dine here for sure!

Unbelievable spot! What a cozy and beautiful place for a night out. The food was outstanding and the service was amazing! Recommend 10/10.

The service was outstanding! I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too sweet, the server immediately offered to replace it, remedied perfectly! We ordered Bruschetta which was absolutely amazing! Cauliflower bites were the best we had ever tasted! The build your own charcuterie had wonderful options and we enjoyed them all, especially the strawberry honey compote! The ambiance and music were so pleasant and relaxing! Absolutely a wonderful experience for a leisurely dining option. If I could rate this restaurant on a scale of 10, I would give it a 15!
