The Darling Oyster Bar
The Darling is a great place to go if you want fresh seafood of any kind, especially oysters. Take a seat at their raw bar and you’ll have a great people watching view of King Street to go with whatever you’re digging into. We suggest starting with an oyster shot that combines a house-made mix with pepper infused vodka and a raw oyster.
