Food and service was great! But I was still hungry when I left so that's really my only complaint. I think the serving size could be a bit better considering the price. Hosted our volleyball team and was very friendly and easy to work with.
Thank you! The lasagna was very good. The desserts were very good. The cocktails do not look very sophisticated. We were there for Valentine's Day and the space was lovely. We were sat in front of the fireplace. The service was attentive but very rushed. We ordered salads and half way through eating them, our entrees were brought out. I can understand trying for quick turnover but our reservation was at , not the height of dinner service. The food was good, not great. I think the best part was the space.
I would give it another shot. We were very disappointed in our two year anniversary dinner. We were starving and had to ask for bread. When we finally got it, it was cold and hard. Would not recommend this place. Do not go on a busy night! Once we got there: They clearly over-booked the restaurant on Valentines day and people were crowding the front entrance. We showed up 10 minutes early for our reservation at and were told that we should only have to wait minutes.
After about 30 minutes, I started to worry I didn't have it as bad as others who waited over an hour and fifteen minutes. It started getting awkward when they started openly crying about 35 minutes after I got there. That being said, I was at the bar and had NO idea what was said to them. I hope they are ok. While waiting: We moved to the bar to get a drink while we waited and to our surprise there was no bar tender. We couldn't even pay to get a drink while we waited to sit for dinner.
Thankfully someone came back to the bar for 2 minutes, poured us a drink we didn't ask for, but the bar tender was too flustered to care so he let us have them. Dinner: We finally got to sit down!
We were relieved but knew we had NO chance to get drinks on time so we ended up getting a bottle of wine. The wine seemed like it was a fair price. We asked a few questions and the server was really good at explaining things. But once we got the food My date's food came out on the cooler side which isn't a welcomed surprise with pasta.
My lasagna was comically cheap. When they say made in house, they really mean it is made with Ragu or maybe Prego tough to tell. The sauce tasted like the stuff I used to throw together in my shanty house when I was 23 living with 6 other people.
It was a small portion, which is normal for a nice meal I hope others who ate there after on Valentines day can back me up so people who read this don't think I am exaggerating. Bon Appetit! From the love passion martini which was absolutely amazing to the fritto misto calamari which is the best calamari I have had in the city. The food was stunning. The ambience was exceptional. Absolutely recommend!
Darlington House is a little known gem for great Italian cuisine in Dupont Circle. My favorites are the branzino, the chicken piccata, but everything I've had there has been great -- well, maybe not the lamb ragout. Nice wine list. More quiet than most places; so you can have a conversation. Attentive staff. We eat often at Darlington restaurant. The food is consistently good, each time we have been there.
One always gets a greeting at the front door. Excellent meal. Great date spot. Will go again and would recommend. The pasta is homemade and absolutely delicious. The food could not have been any better. The service was a bit slow during the dinner rush, but other than that, it was a great experience. Good homemade pasta--but otherwise average fair and service in a dingy dimimg room. The best atmosphere and food! Great for a date night or girls dinner.
The service is incredible and the food is delicious!! Will be back again! Fantastic, per usual!! Food and service were both perfection as always! I went here for winter restaurant week and it was a great surprise to find that they offered the full menu towards the restaurant week deal.
The cons to my dinner experience was that it seemed as they were trying to quickly turn over tables each course came out very fast, one after the other. It was also a disappointment on the portion sizes, after a 3 course meal we left hungry and needed to get another snack at a bar downstairs.
We also observed that when a couple sitting next to us was given their check, they requested to order more drinks and were told by the waiter that they had to leave the table and go to the bar if they wanted more drinks which was a huge turnoff to overhear again it felt rushed.
Service started the moment you walked to when they hold your coat while you put it on. The food was exceptional!
The wine list is also exceptional. Terrific find in DuPont Circle. Terrific Italian food. Pasta bolognese was also fabulous. Lovely restaurant. Very nice staff. Some little things they should work on to improve value. A little over priced. Waited at bar for all the guests with some first time visiting the area and restaurant.
Wine was outstanding. Forgot the label but the selection was very good. Dinner started with salads and calamari. Special that night was swordfish and shockingly everyone wanted it. Perfectly prepared. Service was great.
Nice ambiance, friendly staff, good brunch and lunch options. We arrived a few minutes late, but they managed to find us a table. We all had various daily specials: veal, salmon and seafood ravioli, all were delicious. When they did not have the wine we picked, they brought a better one at the same price, and refilled one extra glass. The restaurant was very busy and very loud. Excellent wines were selected by bartender.
While at bar waiting for friends. Dinner was seafood pasta, chicken dishes! Always great service! Food perfectly prepared.
Always good. Always pleasant. Always yummy. Would return again and again! This place was very, very good. It was not busy at all, so service was fast and there was almost no noise.
