Darling

This is an incredible breakfast spot! It's located in the old Birchwood Cafe location. Lots of space to sit inside, and it's order at the counter service.I ordered the trout scramble ad thought it was amazing. The Potato's were especially delicious. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle. The sauce that accompanied it was a mustard aioli; I'm not typically a mustard fan but this feint and I couldn't get enough.We'll be coming back!

Decent food, relaxing atmosphere. Service is a bit lackadaisical. Place is brightly lit and decor is a bit sparse.The menu is light on breakfast fare, but it's well prepared. I've been there twice and had the trout scramble both times. Could have been a bigger portion. Potatoes were lukewarm. You're on your own for amenities like a glass of water. There's a spout and glasses near the entrance. Coffee refills are slow. The two women working counter and tables seemed equally interested in the customers and their phones.We go there when our usual haunt, Standish Cafe, is closed a couple times a year. I'd go to Darling again but it isn't my first choice.

Order at the counter. Grab your number, silver ware, water, and then grab a table.Good food.

There were many things I liked about this place and a few things I didn't. I thought the exterior of the building was less than standard, but the inside is spacious and has a bit of a higher end feel. It's certainly a positive how the inside feels, but the outside and inside really clash. They need to find a way to spruce up the outside of the building. The corned beef hash was decent. I thought it was a plus that they added Brussel sprouts and asparagus and a tasty spicy sauce to the dish (think spicy buffalo sauce on chicken wings). Although the corned beef was a bit tough, even cut into very small pieces to help compensate for that. I prefer tender, juicy and larger pieces of corned beef in my corned beef hash. Owner: the secret is in how long you cook the corned beef, low and slow. The staff were friendly, but I find it odd that in a restaurant that looks higher end on the inside, there isn't wait staff. Rather you order at the counter like at a McDonald's. Again I think that is a bit of a clash. The prices were slightly higher than I would have liked to see, but I've seen higher for similar quality food, so I can't complain too much there. I would go back, but it wont' be a place I'll frequent often. Maybe a few times a year type of a rating if that helps. I'll be curious as to what some of the other menu items taste like.

Great food, great service, in the neighborhood. What's not to love?My partner and I grabbed breakfast on a Friday and had a wonderful meal. Looking forward to going back!

The food was delicious. The staff was helpful. And the setting was lovely. We are looking forward to going back!

The old Birchwood cafe location has a new cafe! Meet Darling, the vibe is very similar to birchwood. The menu is good. The baked items looked fresh. The sea salt caramel late is divine! The customer service is really good. Get there soon while the word hasn't gotten out yet. I have a feeling this is going to be a neighborhood gem!

So Darling occupies the former BWood space which was a favorite place for a long time before the implosion.What you need to know is that Darling is...awesome!We are here right now for Sat lunch and I will say I am add it to the restaurant rotation no doubt. We ordered some basics out of new restaurant caution but every element was expertly prepared- loved it! Plus the Darling team is friendly, welcoming and professional which goes a long way with me.

Happened upon Darling while looking for a coffee shop. Decided to do breakfast and glad I did. Service was friendly and attentive, the food was tasty and the vibe was positive.

Both the food and service-fabulous! We tried the mushroom "crab cakes" served w greens and pickled onion. Off to a great start: hot (temp), crunchy, tangy, fresh herby tartar sauce. Then, gnocchi, probably the best dish I've ordered out in forever. I added chicken, my son bacon and both were excellent. We followed with key lime pie and a chocolate croissant. I would return for just one of any of the above. Favorite part of our meal was being able to converse easily with a full dining room and fun 80's background music playing. That and paying via a QR code so we could scoot at our leisure. Overall, well-played, Darling!
