This past weekend, we tried out Darbster, a new open-air restaurant perched on the banks of one of West Palm Beach's mini waterways. The entire menu is vegan and reflects the restaurant's vibe of casual elegance. We fit right in with our sand-dusted feet, straight from the beach, and yet had one of the best, most enjoyable meals of our lives. The staff were kind and professional, welcoming of our two year-old son as well as some furry dog diners at nearby tables on the patio. What a comfortable environment!
We, as a party, ordered:
Appetizers
Palm Cakes (pan fried hearts of palm with a lemon pine nut sauce)
Sliders ("steak" tips, onions, lettuce with alan's sauce on sesame seed bun)
Entrees
Chille Relleno (roasted pepper stuffed with veggies, cheeze w/ sauce, rice and beans)
Sandwiches
Chik'n Apple Wrap (chik’n, apples & veggies in a peanut sauce)
Fried Chik'n Sandwich (chik'n, garlic basil aioli, lettuce, fried onion rings)
Sides
Salad
Mashed Potatoes
Mac and Cheez
Veggie Medley
Dessert
Seasonal Fruit Cobbler (in our case, berry)
Ice Cream Sundae
The verdict? Everything was good. Some items were more over-the-top craveworthy than others. The palm cakes were light and flaky. The sliders were so outstanding, so perfectly constructed that I wanted to order two more plates to eat all by myself. The Chille Relleno was beautifully made. My husband was especially in love with the hand-roasted corn kernals packed inside. My Chik'n Apple Wrap was light and yummy with a cool peanut buttery sauce. The Fried Chik'n Sandwich looked divinely decadent--there were breaded onion rings *in* the sandwich! The sides were all well-executed, though the mac and cheez tasted strangely sweet with hints of maple syrup. The fruit cobbler was absurdly good, the ice cream sundae kinda uninspired with its combination of coconut milk ice cream, chocolate chips, and nuts. No sauce? No whipped cream? Hardly a sundae to me. :D
Our (very hungry) party of five, with appetizers and add-ons, desserts and drinks, taxes and tip, came out to about $100. We cannot wait to become regulars. :) Our choices were so spectacular, though, it'll be hard to try something new from the menu next time. I'm already craving the sliders like mad.
