darryl's corner bar & kitchen

darryl’s is known for its comfort food,livemusic, and lively bar atmosphere. their menu focuses on comfort food with southern flare. dishes like fish chowder, buttermilk fried chicken, and jambalaya make you feel like you’ve magically transported to the warm, sunny south. they also havelivemusic which was the selling point for me.

try all your ways avoiding this place!. we came to darryl's this morning for brunch, hoping to experience soul food andlivemusic. and this place totally failed in all ways. we came in early without warm greeting and seated 10 minutes later than the time we made the reservation. the service was so slow that we need to remind our waiters several times for orange juice, the only thing served by the waiter, and is not included in the brunch pricing. the food is salty and unhealthy, not worth the price. the music is ok but it is too loud for this small space that my parents ran out of the place immediately after they barely finished to avoid the noise. the worst part came to the end. the check came back with a total of 95.80(4 adults)+16.95(miscellaneous food)+18.00(6 oj)+9.15(tax)+25.18(grat 18!)=165.08. the 16.95 is said to be charged for my 2 years old boy who had several bites of cake and black beans. after i told the waiter that it shows on their online menu children under 5 are free, he removed it. but what will happen if i didn't check the menu online before? they didn't give us a menu at all. 18% mandatory tip for brunch is considered to be very rude in my point of view. the waiter's explanation is simply that it is mandatory for brunch. there is no sign mentioning it at all in the restaurant. after i pulled out the groupon, the waiter said it can only be used for dinner. i checked the fine prints carefully, there was no such thing stated on it. in fact, before i buy this groupon, there was a link in the groupon showing the menu of darryl's, which including brunch. that's why i bought it. you can still check the ad at this address: http://www.groupon.com/d.... the link for menu: http://www.darrylscorner.... i asked for the manager, she came and just said, no, you can not use it, you can only use it for dinner. after i explained her there is nothing mentioned on the fine prints, she admitted it but said, no, you can not use it because i said so. if you have any problem, you can talk with groupon. during the whole process, the manager showed no smile and i felt not respected. be careful!! if you come in with a groupon at dinner time, they may simply say you can only use it during brunch, because they said so. the worst experience in a restaurant ever.

wow! mediocre to good food- basic comfort food. nice vibe, but very loud -livemusic was amateur at best. manager refused to honor a valid groupon after admitting the mistake was groupon's mistake. so it was their contract! why not take it up w/ groupon? no way i would come back - they clearly have no regard for their patrons, and did nothing to build a relationship w/ me. i wasn't asking for anything i had not already paid for.

a few years ago, i had a cocktail party at the stork club, which is now darry's corner bar and kitchen. darryl's corner bar has had many other identities. the location used to be circles, which used to be bob the chef's. each location had iterations oflivejazz, southern food or cocktails. darryl is the founder of the beantown jazz fest and co-founder of the beehive and i believe has made the best version of the past reincarnations. there are few dinner places which haslivejazz, so to enjoy southern food and cocktails is a treat. there is a $3 cover charge per person added to the check when a diner is present during thelivejazz entertainment. the space is clean, open and next to the bar is a small area for jazz performers. on sunday's, between 10am until 3pm and at the price of $21.95 each person, darryl's brunch includes grits, waffles, turkey bacon, links, ham, fried chicken, ribs, rice and beans, mac and cheese and collard greens. alot of these sides are on the dinner menu. mac
