David Drake has done it again with his second very successful, fine dining restaurant, named after one of his three partners, Daryl Sorrentini. The food is very creative American cuisine with international influences, served in a variety of ways from from a variation of tapas portions to full entree selections. The decor is very attractive with high ceilings, dark wooden floors, oversized doors, the crystal quartz bar. and a beautifully coordinated color arrangement of browns, tans, yellows, red and blues. The dining area at Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant is trendy and sophisticated, with glass tables and white leather high back chairs that are comfortably spaced apart. Portions can be served in any size you would like from small tasting plates to sample a taste of everything, to the large family style portions that can be shared with the entire group at your table. The recommended selections are; the Slow poached duck egg, the Fideos with angel hair pasta, manila clams,and sea beans; the Croquettes of brandade of cod with piquillo pepper sauce; and the chef's signature dishes of Pan roasted barramundi with spinach gnocchi, braised leeks, and glazed baby turnips; or the Roasted organic chicken breays with glazed baby vegetables, and pepper thyme jus. Save room for the desserts, they are sumptuous. Try the Chocolate ganache tart with salted caramel and fleur de sei; or the Apple lasagna linzer tart with candied cranberries, and apple cider reduction; or the Pumpkin creme brulee, pecan pie, with maple praline mousse and maple leaf tuile. As the restaurant name implies, Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant has wine as a significant element of the dining experience. There are 500 wines available, and 65 by the glass. Similiar to the variety of food portions, the wine can be served in sipping's of two ounces, four ounces and six ounces. Looking for a for a late-night drink spot, the bar stays open to 2 a.m. on Saturdays, 11 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 p.m. Sundays. The service at Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant is professional and attentive, with the staff dressed in attractive charcoal jackets. Children are not recommended. Be forewarned; do not use the valet parking at the Heldrich Hotel, they are very pricey. Suggest parking across the street in the parking garage at a fraction of the cost of the hotel parking.
