I arrived early and enjoyed a drink at the bar. It was delicious. When we sat down for dinner we did the Chefs 3 course seasonal menu and we were dazzled by what we ate. Everything was plated beautifully, had amazing flavor and details were through through. It was an amazing experience and one we hope to continue in the future. It is based inside the Darcy hotel and was easy to find. Thanks for giving us a great date night experience!

Chaplins always offers great food with good service, and tonight was no exception. They were slammed with large tables from a convention, yet the team still managed to run a very efficient service without compromising on taste or hospitality!
