Darling

To be honest, I would have given this place a 5 out of 5 had it not been how we were approached by the server when we first arrived. No smile, not very welcoming, and seemed a bit distant. I had a note on the reservation that wasn't acknowledged or tried, which is okay, but if it was a bit more welcoming, it would have been perfect. First impressions were a bit difficult to move past from. But the food definitely delivered. The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best brunch I've had in a while. The presentation fed the eyes before the meal, with beautiful color and plating. An absolutely delightful experience of eating a delicious meal. The music wasn't too loud and the restaurant was quite beautiful in its simplicity. The plates, utensils, cups, tables, and seating are all beautiful and compliment one another, being perfectly chosen. The cold brew was the best coffee I've ever had. No bitter after taste, full flavor, and no acidity to it. Might give it another try and would still recommend it as the server seemed to be a bit nicer later in the meal. Out of 10 I'd give it a 9 even with the server we had.

Service was great, atmosphere was nice (cute little patio - well decorated with plants and lights)! The food was nicely presented and all tasted good but I won’t find myself craving anything we had again. I think it depends what you order here - perhaps some dishes are a little more noteworthy. Their menu is seasonal though from what I understand, so I would go back and try different dishes, and definitely want to try the brunch as those menu items seem to have strong reviews!

We had an incredible dining experience at Darling. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with each dish showcasing unique flavors and creative presentation. To top it all off, the service was impeccable, friendly, and truly added to the overall experience. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for something beyond the ordinary.

Just off the main part of Whyte Ave, this place features nice decor, atmosphere and a menu you share among others. There is something here for everyone. I have visited a few times and the quality is always consistent. The outdoor patio is a must-try when the weather is appropriate.

Great atmosphere. Servers had great knowledge about what they are serving, including wines and beers. Datenight, girls night out, you name it This is the wine bar you want to be.

We've been to Darling now for dinner, brunch, and lunch. Every single time, amazing service, amazing food, and amazing atmosphere. It's fairly intimate, and the music isn't too loud, but it's definitely seems to be an inluencer-esque crowd. Is that a good thing? I don't know... but having eaten here three times far apart since it opened, the food has quite obviously held up, if not gotten better. The portions are sized enough to eat in their entirety, while leaving perfectly full. The drinks, including their non-alcoholic are always tasty as well. Overall, Darling is a great spot for sharing tasty bites with good company.

The menu isn't that big so we ended up ordered most of the menu. The food is meant to be shared. My favorite was the pork belly and croquette. Overall it was decent. A little more pricey based on how much quantity you get.

If you're looking for a spot in Edmonton with a lively modern vibe and delicious brunch options, Darling is a must-visit. I recently tried their Turkish eggs, and they were a delightful twist on a classic dish. Pair that with a selection of good local beer, and you've got yourself a winning brunch combo. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it a perfect place to kick back and enjoy a leisurely meal with friends or family. Overall, Darling offers a top-notch dining experience that's sure to leave you satisfied.
