The Darling

Opened February 2016, The Darling Oyster Bar has given an old building a fresh new face, serving a lot more than just oysters. There are oysters a plenty, of course, along with crab claws and the like at The Darling's window-front raw bar, but there's even more in the way or hot and cold starter and entree options. Consider the chilled Crab Parfait (a classed-up crab salad) to start, and follow up with a mandatory order of Geechie Boy hushpuppies. Shrimp and Grits are offered, of course, but so are Oyster Spaghetti and Lobster Pot Pie, rarer shellfish combinations. Seafood haters, opt for the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Come dressed up or dressed down; The Darling accommodates a night out of all kinds. Sit at sea-foam green booths with a larger party, or consider the raw bar counter and high top stools at the main bar for more one-on-one time.
