char-grill in Darlington

We visited here tonight for the first time, we had two amazing mains (the lamb was literally falling apart on the fork it was so tender) that were excellent sized portions, served piping hot and a garlic naan that was also generously sized. All food cooked fresh and to taste, the staff were very observant and lovely to chat to. We will definitely be coming back soon.

First of all, the food and service were really good. We had a small break at the hotel and had been recommended by reception to book a table for evening meal. What let this restaurant down is on an evening it lacked atmosphere. It s hard to explain, but it was very bright and because it was linked to the spa, people were eating in there sat in the spa dressing gowns. Unusual for a restaurant we were recommended to make a reservation for and we turned up dressed for diner. A little mood lighting could go a long way.

Love this place been going 18yrs which says alot. Friendly staff beautiful tasting dishes , not found anything in the area to compare or that comes close .

First visit and won’t be the last, 5 different meals, all good quality food, served attractively. Look forward to next visit.

Definitely the best Cafe in Darlington without a doubt, the menu choice, the food, the service is excellent top marks. I have been coming to this cafe for over a year now. This cafe should continue with same staff, service, menu choices and food. Best In Darlington by far. It would be an injustice and a tragedy if it was to close or change.
