    Visited Darya yesterday for brunch buffet, the food was not as great as it is hyped. The bread was cold, staff did not fill the buffet table for half an hour. I rarely give a negative review but did not meet upto the expectations. The price for the buffet was not justified.

    Food was good but service was terrible. The waitress took our order and then never brought the food or drinks - someone else eventually brought them. It took 40 min to get two cocktails then we were there for two hours before our food came which consisted of cauliflower and salmon entrees. The food was tasty but whatever serving protocol they are using needs a serious revamp. Nice ambiance on the water but overall very disappointing.

    Fantastic menu. All of our choices were exceptional. A lovely experience dining outside. Kitchen service was a bit slow, which disrupted the flow a bit, but it was a busy night, so was happy to wait and use the extra time as an opportunity to catch up. Overall a wonderful dinner experience and will certainly be a staple in the future!

    My husband and I dined at Darya for my birthday, and it was a great experience all around. The meals were delicious, and in fact we both ate more than we should have. The service was perfect, timely, and professional. The server's recommendations were excellent. A lovely location for special occasions. If I could make one suggestion, it would be that they did not comp dessert. I did specify that it was my birthday when I made the reservation, and the waitress wished me a Happy Birthday, but that was it. Most restaurants have some perk for birthdays and anniversaries. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely return.
