Dar Restaurant And Bar

Came here for happy hour and enjoyed the good food and friendly service.We sat outside and had a heater to keep us warm.The drinks were good, the small bites tasty (well seasoned and reasonable portions) and nice variety.We'd recommend this place and will come back again.

I visited Dar Restaurant and Bar on a Thursday evening with a friend, and while we had made a reservation, the place wasn't very packed. The service was fine--nothing remarkable, but polite and efficient. One thing that stood out was the decor, which was really well done, creating a nice atmosphere for the evening.Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. I ordered the lamb, which turned out to be incredibly chewy and dry. It was disappointing enough that I mentioned it to the waitress, who allowed me to switch it out for something else, but even then, the experience didn't improve much. My friend was equally unimpressed with his dish, and we both left dissatisfied.Overall, while the decor sets a nice scene, I can't recommend Dar based on the food quality. Hopefully, they can improve this aspect because the potential is there, but right now, it doesn't live up to expectations.

I'm late to the game...this place is awesome! The old Nicks next door has become a Mediterranean gem. Isam and crew know hospitality and how to make you feel special. I placed a to-go order and was greeted at the door by name, sat down at the bar, and enjoyed a wonderful soup while I waited. I ordered a little bit of everything so I'll report back later.

I adored this spot- the lamb was unforgettable! I highly recommend this place! It was delicious!

We came here for valentine day. We went to Saratoga branch few months back. We love Palestine's foods. It's unique and hard to find cozy and romantic restaurants that deliver comfort foods. Both locations give me the ambience that I love. Recommend Lamb Leg with Pomegranate Sauce. Sea-beam fish with Moroccan Chermola reduction over fish and splash of olives and tomatoes sauce is divine. But I didn't like the fish. Servers at both locations are very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend for special occasions dinners. Price is on a higher range. But it's worth it.

The drinks were great. Every bite we had was fabulous. The sauces and seasonings were mouthwatering good!We will be back to try more of this menu.

Absolutely delicious food and very friendly staff. Our server, Erin, made my birthday dinner really special. I especially enjoyed the beet and arugula salad and pistachio tagliatelle and the fresh-out-of-oven pita bread was to die for. The key lime pie had great acidity and the chocolate mousse was decadent and delicious without being too sweet. We will be back!

I really wanted to like Dar. It's close to our house. We have had great meals at the other places that were there. Unfortunately it was not for us. Again individual tastes affect experience. I like my food with flavors that are distinct and big. The items we had here were good but not that distinctive. First the standout winner is the beet salad. It meet our criteria and was super. The mussels were in a flat tomato sauce. Very fresh mussels for sure. The sauce was thick and had little charisma to it ie uniqueness. Then ended with the cauliflower which again had so much potential but came back with a a very flat taste. If you are into more muted or subtle tastes then this is a winner. For us we like more expressive food, thus place missed the mark. It's close by so maybe we will try again after a few months.

I wanted to be the first to review Dar and someone beat me by 2 hours! This location used to be Nick's Next Door which was a local favorite for the longest time and 13 College which was good. Dar has been there for 3 weeks and I wish them the very best.Our experience was good and we will come back for sure. The start was slightly off. We were "greeted" by a glum older gentlemen who did not seem too happy to see us. Our waitress however was the opposite and very effervescent.The food was above average. The trio starter was great. My salad which came with fried goat cheese was good. The chicken pita was ok, a little on the dry side.My favorite part was the great middle eastern music they were playing. I was shazaming all of them. Overall, a welcome addition to the area and I wish them much success.

Great place! Got there early before my reservation had great conversation with the bartender and others there. The food was very delicious and the kitchen send us a complimentary dish. Great all around would come back.
