the environment was friendly , i have been trying to go here for 2 years there is usually never no parking or over packed i decided to make reservations for my boyfriend birthday unfortunately could not have tried everything i wanted to because the oven was broke but for what we could order the food was good. They was out of a few juices so I couldn't get the drinks we wanted but they offered recommendations, the live band was awesome , one thing is they didn't do nothing special for birthdays they did have the ban sing to my boyfriend and brought beignets but then charged me for them but hey. It was a little dark but for the occasion is was sexy and romantic i will becoming again hopefully the oven is working ,

Always a great time at Darryl’s! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly, and the music is always enjoyable and fun. Sad they’re closing for a month to relaunch, but looking forward to the next chapter!
