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.

Darling is fairly new to Edmonton and they have the cutest room and all natural wines. We came for the $2 dollar oysters on Tuesday and they did not disappoint.
Must try: sourdough bread, cabbage salad, steak and croquettes!
Brunch is always amazing as well!

We had a party of four, had cocktails, wine recommendations from the waitress and the food was delicious.
I would definitely go back.

Very disappointed. The venue is aesthetically pleasing, but the food was awful. Eggs Benedict with strip bacon is an abomination. Food came out cold, yet simultaneously burnt. Server was friendly but very slow service. Will not be back.

We live just around the corner and always enjoy Darling for dinner or brunch. This year, we participated in Darling's NYE multi course meal with our friends, and it was outstanding. Our server Steph was very attentive, the food was incredible and the wine was excellent as always.
Thank you Darling for continuing to be such a great restaurant.
