Amazing location over looking the marina and canal, with options to sit inside and out. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is really tasty with a menu mixed with traditional brunch and bites. But with an injection of Spanish flavours. If you want a real English brekkie or something healthy then you will find it on the menu.

My friend surprised me for my 50th birthday dinner at Darcys bar. It's an absolute gem 💎 of a place. Looks so pretty on the harbour, the decor , the ambience , and the staff all lovely and friendly. The food was wonderful and tasty. We had tapers , 6 dishes. The menu is great with lots of different options. The Cocktails were on point! Grest barman!!This little jem reminds me of the Ivy! But better! I felt very special as everyone went out of there way to make it a night to remember! Highly recommend 👌 10 out of 10

Walked to Apsley Marina and we were really looked after by the team at Darcy's.We didn't have a booking and we had a dog with us - but the service was amazing and the dog looked after even better than us! Food was good and the decor was really nice - but the service was simply superb definitely, definitely will be back soon.

Lovely little tapas restaurant at Apsley Dock. They offer a separate gluten-free menu to cater to those with intolerances. Waiters/waitresses were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The reason for 4-stars on food is that although the chips are gluten-free, they are cooked in the same fryer, so my nephew with coeliac disease couldn't have them - he had to settle for egg, bread & aioli for Sunday dinner. The apple strudel was then also unavailable, so we had the strawberry cheesecake - very nice and well presented, but my sister's was oddly lacking the biscuit base.

Visited this great little place for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Great breakfast menu that is a little bit different from all the usual offerings, great-tasting coffee and really friendly staff. Wish I lived locally so I could go back. The atmosphere inside is very relaxing.

I can't recommend this place highly enough. Staff were so lovely, welcoming and friendly. The restaurant itself has clearly had no expense spared; it's decorated beautifully and is so inviting. We had a wheelchair user in our party and accessibility was perfect. It is step free from the car park outside to the table and the ladies was big enough for a wheelchair to take in. The food was amazing. We went for brunch and were spoiled for choice with a great menu. Everything we ordered was delicious! We'll definitely be back again.
