| - My husband and I went to Darby's last night and sat on the back patio. It was maybe 5 degrees too cold but I was comfortable. We were quickly brought menus and a drink menu. I ordered wine, husband ordered a beer. The waitress told us about a special clam appetizer so we ordered that as well. We received our drinks and appetizer pretty quickly.
The clam appetizer was so not worth the $13 price. The dish consisted of 12 clams with chorizo, jalapeno, peppers, bacon, shallots, and a few other ingredients and 4 slices of toast to soak up the juices with. Unfortunately, the clams were extremely overwhelmed by the strong flavors of the sausage and peppers and the dish overall was way too salty. Clams are so delicate and slightly sweet, it was sad to not be able to taste them. The toast that came with it had an awful fuel torch taste to it. I think they were trying to imitate grill marks on the bread. It was very unpleasant.
The waitress asked us what we wanted to order. My husband ordered the swordfish tacos (appetizer) and a side salad. I tried to order the braised short rib sandwich but the waitress informed me that there was a new chef tonight and he had taken a couple things off the menu. Ok, I understand. So instead, I ordered the filet sliders. They were $5.95 each so I ordered two with a side of french fries. If I remember correctly, the french fries cost extra. Why? I don't know.
The food came out promtly and looked really good. I dug right into the filet sliders. Perfection! Extremely tender, perfectly cooked to medium like I asked, covered in caramelized onions and a delicious, aoli. The french fries were nice and crispy and sprinkled with sea salt and pepper. Two sliders was the perfect amount of food for me. I'm glad I didn't order 3.
My husband's fish tacos were awesome! He let me try a bite and the fish was perfectly cooked and juicy. There was maybe a bit too much pepper on them but overall, they were delightful! His side salad was good. Typical lettuce, cucumber, tomato, etc.
We got our bill and it was $50. A bit pricey but the food was excellent quality (minus the clams). My husband was a little annoyed because they took his beer away before he could finish it. There was probably 1/4 of it left in the bottle. Oh well. We had a nice meal and I think we would go back. It looks like they are working on building a bar on the patio so that will be pretty cool once it's finished.
