    A wonderful choice for a delicious dining experience in Halifax. Don’t skip the bread, which is hot and fresh bubbly pita, with a generous pour of good olive oil. Everything is delicious and perfectly executed. Beautiful room, which is where everyone was the evening we went because of weather. And the seating is comfy indoors!

    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!
