    What a wonderful surprise! Our first time dining at Darling, and we were very impressed! Our server was excellent at her job. We sampled a red wine, didnt like it, and the bottle we chose from the menu was sold out. She suggested a bottle, and she was bang on! It was delicious. We asked for recommendations on the menu, and all our choices were perfect. Spanish Croquettes, anchovie toast, very tasty appetizers. The cabbage salad and the steak were perfect. Lots to share, and we even had leftovers. The grand finale, for dessert, the vanilla pound cake with ice cream was perfection. We will definitely be back with our friends!

    The space is great. I want to like Darling more. But they try too hard, and it takes away from the food. I leave disappointed and annoyed at how much I am paying for Style over Substance.

    My parents were visiting from Yellowknife, and were absolutely floored by the excellent service at Darling. They don’t often have the opportunity to try new wines, and it can be intimidating to go to a new wine bar (even though my dad’s a chef). Our server made thoughtful and curated recommendations, was very attentive, and ensured that no one felt out of place asking a question about the wines. The flavours in the fennel salad were exceptional - we had the best steak of our lives as well as a tourtiere that would have knocked my grandma’s socks off, and when eaten alongside the brassica salad our meal felt quintessentially Alberta. Thanks to the Darling team for always delivering showstopper experience of a meal and superb service, even with a full house for Flying Canoe Volant!
