The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

Darcy’s commands a large corner position on the basement courtyard of upmarket Princes Square − decked out faux al fresco French café style − all wicker chairs and flower baskets. It’s a hotspot for coffee and cake junkies, the shopping masses and cocktail crowd morning to late. A few French classics such as steak frites, beouf bourguignon, moules marinière and mousse au chocolat sit among a much wider continental offering. Cocktails take on a creative twist including 'skinny' low calorie or creamier 'liquid dessert' options. For mains the seafood linguine is nicely al dente − sweet tiger prawns, salmon, and clams are well balanced by peppery spiced tomato sauce. Why they call a cheese platter a cheese trolley is a mystery? That aside, it’s supplied by award-winning cheesemonger George Mewes and worth every last crumb.

High point: Cheeeeese
Low point: Veg antipasti platter a bit slapdash

3. SCOOBY32 – 24 Nov 2008, 8:43pm Report: thankyou for sorting this out. I might try and book it for this Friday now for a different event. I will let you know if I have any further problems.

2. LIST Card manager – 19 Nov 2008, 11:05am: Many apologies Scooby32 for this unfortunate experience. We always try our best to make sure that our participating LIST Card restaurants have all the information they need to run the promotion, and it is disappointing for all concerned when communication breaks down. I have phoned Darcy's personally to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and make sure that they have all of the necessary information to be circulated to staff members. I am glad to hear that your other LIST Card visit was a successful one and that you had a great night out - I hope that this will continue to set the trend for future LIST Card meals and that you go on to enjoy your visit to Darcy's.

1. SCOOBY32 – 18 Nov 2008, 10:29pm Darcy's Report: Well, can I just say I didn't get off to a good start. Having just returned from a great night at Tinto's Tapas bar in Battlefield Rd, I was all set to make another List card booking for Friday as a birthday treat for a relative. So imagine my surprise, on identifying that D'arcys was one of the few places to offer Friday evening on the card basis, only to discover that they purport to not actually participate in the List card scheme at all. Strange, as they are on The List Card website. A call to the manager tomorrow will hopefully sort things out, but perhaps The List Card could intervene too? Poor show.
