First time visiting and unfortunately it wasn’t a good experience in almost any facet. Restaurant was not that busy but service was extremely slow. When we got our first drinks and ordered our food, it was at least another 30 minutes before our waitress came by again. Of course we had been out of water and finished our drinks a while ago. No acknowledgment of the wait or lack of drink service. Food eventually came and one of our meals didn’t come for at least 5 minutes after the other 3. And they forgot a part of that meal saying it would be right up. When It hadn’t come for a while longer, we flagged them down to ask for it. It was only garlic toast but it was a key part of the entree that my daughter wanted. ($23 for small serving of Mac and cheese and toast) Also, the menu is not that big but they were out of an entree that my wife wanted. This was a Saturday evening at 6pm and it was not that busy, there were probably 25% of the tables with no guests. Some of our food was somewhat burnt and we saw the same for some food served to other guests as well. Very nice ambiance but that’s about the only good thing we can say, unfortunately. I’d hate to see what it’s like when it’s busy

Service was great, food was prompt and as advertised. Our biggest issue was that there were a lot of fruit flies around us, our food, and our beverages, throughout our whole evening.

Overall, Oh My Darling was an enjoyable experience. We got the Hot Honey Chicken, salmon, and steak. The steak was supposed to be prepared medium rare but came out medium well. The flavor was wonderful. The salmon should have been medium but was a bit dry. The chicken was awesome. The risotto (served with the salmon) was ok. Nothing wonderful but just okay. We would go back, but it wouldn't be our top choice.

Very disappointing. The ambiance of the restaurant was great! Our server was attentive and very friendly. My clementine cosmo cocktail was excellent! The food, sadly, was just ok. It was cooked well but woefully underseasoned and bland. We had the Honey Hot Chicken, Cauliflower Steak with Red Curry, and Chicken Pot Pie. All of the dishes were very very bland. I could have made it better at home myself. We will not be back

Food was fantastic. A little slow to come out of the kitchen, but it was hot and fresh so not a huge deal. Fun themed cocktails for the show at the Landmark.

It was a busy evening with the crowd from the Aladdin Show. We have been before and have had wonderful service and food. Unfortunately, we received lack luster service. The server focused on his larger tables and pretty much ignored our table of 2. The main course food was delicious. We had drinks, appetizers, and main courses. The lamb sliders were amazing! The dessert was horrible: the cookie & ice cream dessert was clearly burnt when it was delivered. It was inedible. I’m not quite sure how it made it out of the kitchen. Both kitchen staff and wait staff should have noticed. We were offered a complimentary lemon bar to take with us. If we go again, we will request a different server. The poor service negatively affected our experience. We have been before and have always had a positive and enjoyable experience.

The dessert was great. The food was terrible three dishes ordered we all took one bite and were done. The waitress didnt ask us how it was or if anything was wrong. The cauliflower steak should be taken off the menu. Worst thing i have ever had. One bite and was spit out.

We waited a very long time for our food (50 minutes). My food was hot though not very flavorful. Husbands food was cold (steak, potatoes and veggie). We brought our sons too because we were headed to a show at Landmark. Their fools was also cold (Mac & cheese and veggie) but they ate it anyway. They did take husbands meal back and warm it.

So many great options to choose from on the menu made it difficult to decide on just one thing. I’m so happy my family was willing to share! We all loved everything we ordered. We all agreed that the lemon bars were one if the best we ever had. Our server was so helpful and accommodating.

Waiter was pleasant but brought our plates to us on 2separate occasions and his thumb was right in the middle of the top plate. All waitstaff need to be trained in fundamental hygiene. It was really gross and he didn’t even realize it, which was worse. Food was great. Third visit, just please teach the waitstaff……..

This was my first time at Oh My Darling and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is chic and inviting, the wait staff were all friendly and kind, and the food and drinks- OUTSTANDING. I am gluten free and our server was lovely about switching a bun out for greens and I sincerely appreciate that it was so easy to make a modification while it was busy. Well done all.

Food was fantastic, as was the service. It was just a bit noisy for us (we are an older couple with a little trouble hearing), but sitting in a corner helped with that. Thank you for a great dinner! I would highly recommend it.

Food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef stew, burgers, Mac and cheese, and beignets; everything was thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant was extremely well-staffed, with everything arriving quickly without any of the servers seeming rushed. The overall vibe was very charming, and for prices not much different than an Olive Garden, I feel like I got MUCH better food, better service, and a more elegant experience. Would eat here again

The noise level of the restaurant is not enjoyable. I hadn’t been to Oh My Darling since early Spring. I forgot how loud it is inside. It’s a fun restaurant, great drinks, good food, but I need to yell to have a conversation at the table.

Food is great, it is a very lovely environment. Server was very nice but slow. Server did not come back to the table other than take order. We had to ask for water and I asked for the bill because it took so long. It is very noisy in that restaurant! The volume bounces off the walls and echos making it very difficult to hear.
