Reviews in Darwen

Four of us dined here and all came away saying it was the best meal we've ever had. The food was incredible and had great options for vegetarians. Every member of staff was really attentive and friendly. The value for money is fantastic considering the quality of the food you're getting.

we really enjoyed it - the venue and the food are lovely. The service was just a tad slow, we had to re-request a couple of things but all the team were lovely

First time visit on a Thursday. We had the steak and wine offer which considering the size and quality of the steak was great value. The standard menu looks great and they now offer a Wellington night on a Wednesday, which may well be our next visit. In any case we’ve booked for a small group Xmas gathering in December. Can’t wait to return.

Went on recommendation of person who dines out a lot. Not disappointed. Food was fabulous, we had six tapas but five would have been enough. Extremely good value. Loved the music, it did not intrude on conversation. We can’t wait to return

The food and staff were exceptional has always but not happy I couldn’t choose my method of payment

Food was excellent. Service was very good and special mention to Scarlet who looked after us brilliantly and was excellent ….

What a place! From the minute you walk in, this place is incredible. The design of the restaurant is gorgeous. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Now the best bit... the food is some of the best we've ever had. We could not fault a thing when we visited with family mid-week. The menu has a great choice and there is something for everyone. Even the kids meals were impressive. We would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again. Well done to Dan and team for bringing class and great food to Darwen!

We feel very lucky this kind of restaurant usually only found in big cities and at much higher price is down the road from us in Lower Darwen! That it was full on a Wednesday lunchtime says it all. Great cocktails, lots of food choices to suit everyone in our wider family. The best vegetarian meal I’ve ever eaten (beautifully presented beetroot petivier). We really liked the open kitchen with the head chef at the pass. When the bill came we did a double take, such high quality special food for less than our local Italian. We will definitely be back

The food was exceptional and the premises themselves are very pleasant and contemporary. Prices are very reasonable for the quality on offer. The service could have been better in some respects (there were delays with drinks being brought to the table and in taking our orders), but the restaurant was particularly busy at the time. Will definitely be coming back!

The whole feeling of the restaurant was warm and inviting, the layout of the tables and the bar looks amazing. The food itself you can tell time and effort has been put into all of it. Some of the wait staff need to take more time to check on guests, I'm only saying this cause we didn't get a check back on our food but seen other people get check backs on their tapas meals. But overall the whole experience was amazing and will definitely be coming back.

Exceptional food and service in the most stunning place. We can’t wait to return and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!!!

First time visiting CDJ wow fabulous food we chose the bar menu which was of the scale home made pie with home made chips best ever !! With attentive service and great atmosphere will definitely be back

High end food, freshly prepared, service good and efficient by smiley staff, nice comfortable venue, owner chef on site and visible which gives confidence in quality. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, great service and lovely ambience. Our first visit to the new CDJ. Parking was a challenge!

Amazing food, great restaurant. Highly recommended

Best gluten free burger I’ve ever had! Great choices for the kids too.

A really great all round experience. Would highly recommend and will definitely being going again.

Enjoyed a great night at CDJ's celebrating my partners birthday with friends and family. The food was excellent and the service was 1st class. We will definitely be re visiting soon.
