We have been to Darling numerous times for brunch and absolutely loved it so I suggested to my friends that we try it for dinner. It did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were also yummy. We will be back!

Darling Wine Bar is, without a doubt, my favorite little gem! Last night, we switched it up from shareables to main dishes (though we couldn’t resist the PEI oysters—so fresh and delicious), and every bite was incredible. The ambiance was perfect as always, and my leadership group absolutely loved it. From the expertly curated wine selection to the attentive service and outstanding food, everything was flawless. Huge thanks to the owners ( <3 ) and staff for consistently delivering perfection—this place never misses!

The food was incredible, the ambiance was quiet and intimate, the service was prompt and friendly. The oysters were the perfect appetizer and the pork chop was excellent in both flavour and portion. Will be back!!!
