A beautiful home turned into a Southern restaurant.
The porch💗was our favorite dining area. We went for Sunday Brunch. Try the mimosas :) and homemade biscuits with strawberry puree. They are were delicious.
Highly recommend the Shrimp Skillet and Waffles & Chicken 🐔
We drove down from Savannah and truly loved this new gem in Darien.
Darien is such a beautiful coastal town in Georgia. The wild caught Georgia Shrimp 🍤 The Canopy serves also a very special treat to all! You can also walk down and see the Shrimp boats !
Our server was very kind and polite & we didn't feel rushed.
*Bring no gnat spray because you're by the water. Anywhere in GA by the coast you'll need it.

Stopped by this charming restaurant in Georgia and the interior instantly caught my eye—rustic and cozy, it's as delightful as it gets. The food matched the lovely decor, with a particularly delicious breakfast. The steak and eggs were a highlight, and the tea rounded off the meal nicely. A great find for anyone looking for tasty food in a beautiful setting.

Continuing my comments from last year's review:
Made a DEFINITE point of timing my trip north so I could get back to THE CANOPY for their marvelous breakfasts.
Thanks to KRISTEN for her wonderful and friendly service as well as CHEF and the kitchen for some delicious food with a unique lowlands bent.
The absolutely fluffy and crunchy homemade biscuit with some rich and thick pork sausage gravy was a meal in itself....but that was just the opening act.
The eggs cooked to perfection as requested with delicately fried onions and delicious bacon which must be local as it has a flavour far superior to any packaged supermarket product.
A memorable repast in a gorgeous Georgian home. Thanks you to all.

I have not been to Darien in a few years due to COVID restrictions but now travel is back in my world I was so pleased to get back to an absolute hidden gem of a town off the interstate.
Always a lovely collection of Americana and interesting history, Darien also offers the visitor wonderful attractions, accommodations and restaurants.
A new addition to the pleasures of the town is THE CANOPY RESTAURANT, opened May 2022. A gorgeous renovation of a traditional colonial Georgian home, this delightful place offers a wide variety of dining options for all meals served in cozy rooms or out in the pretty garden setting. The bar upstairs is comfortable and oozes a homey ambience.
I look forward to returning when I have more time to stay longer in Darien and enjoy more of the culinary experience of THE CANOPY.

Such a wonderful dinner, food was top notch and the people were amazing. They even wrote me a card for my birthday. The little things mean a lot. I have a feeling this is one of those best kept secrets. We will be back!

First time visiting this place and now it's time for my first impressions honest review. I'm a big foodie and I love to try new places to eat, whether local or out of town, and share my thoughts on the places I visit so you can decide if it's something you would like to try out. This review is unsolicited and uncompensated, so you are getting an unbiased and totally honest review for your reading pleasure.
My wife and I were told from family to go check out this new restaurant in Darien, right inside the city limits. So we decided to go and check it out on a Friday night. In reviewing their website, they indicated to call and make reservations. It was a spur of the moment that evening to go, so I called and braced for the worst, but the hostess said come on down, no need for reservations tonight. (Which I thought was quite strange, for a Friday night of course.). In our county, we have literally over 100 good restaurants to go eat at and all the good ones will accept reservations or you should be prepared to wait for a table, ESPECIALLY on a Friday night, so to find out none was needed was welcomed, but unusual.
Just a short trip north of Brunswick, across the bridge and turn right, it was only a few blocks around the bend. When we got there, the parking lot was empty, literally only 3 cars there, and we had correctly assumed, those all belonged to the help. We parked and went inside, two ladies greeted us, allowed us to pick where we wanted to seat, and gave us menus. We were literally the only patrons there at 8pm on a Friday night. This was nice that we were their sole customers and center of attention but it felt almost eerie and weird that no one else was eating here this evening. (Side note, we had noticed another local grill restaurant was open up the road and their parking lot was very packed and busy)
We weren't drinking alcohol but they had a full bar and separate drink menu. The food menu was somewhat sparse and there were not a lot of options to choose from we noticed. We ordered an appetizer and an entree for the two of us, as we like to agree and split between those to make small plates for both of us. The chips and dip wasn't really a dip, more like homemade chips with braised pork on top with goat cheese and a sweet sauce drizzled, it was delicious. The flank steak entry with the puffed farro and asparagus was a very good cut of steak, definitely recommend both of these dishes and I've included pictures of the food and menus in my review. As you can see from the menus, it's not inexpensive to eat there but not overpriced either, just above average for places in the area.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our solo dinner experience, the service was top notch of course, and the place is quaint and beautiful and a very good experience. We finished dinner about 920pm and they closed up the place as soon as we left. I'm not sure how they can stay open for business if they don't have crowds for the two busiest dinner nights of Friday and Saturday nights, when most people go out to eat, especially with the bar in place there. My friends say they are busy and open for breakfast and lunch, so maybe that's their main goals and where the business comes from. We will go back during those meals and update my review after we do.

The only thing missing from this restaurant was more people! We booked this restaurant last minute for my birthday and we arrived early approximately 6 o’clock on a Saturday. We expected there to be a lot of people however, there was only one other couple in the entire restaurant. When we had booked, my wife had said it was my birthday, and our table was set with a card signed by the entire staff of the restaurant. This is such a quality touch, and with some thing that left a memorable impression up on both of us.
There are no hard liquor, mixed drinks here! No, Bourbons, no whiskeys! This made me very sad, but they have a pretty decent draft list and bottle list as well as wines and wine mixes. I really wish they had had a full service bar. This place could really be over the top good.
The appetizer was the ceviche scallops, and they were out of this world. My wife believes that the chips were too heavy, handed on the salt while I definitely did taste a lot of salt. They were perfect for me. The ceviche was outstanding. Both of us cleared the bowl.
I got the skirt steak and it was seasoned with a wonderful vinegary twang that went so well with the sweet, pumpkin purée. Absolutely five stars cooked medium rare just the way I like it. My wife got the 8 ounce filet mignon and while the steak was outstanding, and she devoured the whole thing, I actually thought the brussels sprouts were the best item on the plate. Lol so delicious.
My only real complaint with the night was that I ordered a latte at the end of dinner, and it was extremely weak. It honestly tasted like there was no espresso in the drink at all. I hope this was just a one off mistake. It certainly does not lower my score below five stars But I definitely think it was off.
For dessert we received the carrot cake to go with a scoop of ice cream, and my wife and I eat it watching the sunset in south Georgia. I don’t think there’s a nicer way to in the evening.
Parking is a little limited here, especially on a busy night. He could get crazy to find a spot, but the entire staff was outstanding, and the venue itself was beautiful very well decorated great color scheme.

What a gem! I went for a light lunch and got the butternut bisque and a side salad to go. So so delicious that I went back the next morning to try breakfast! We had biscuit with sausage and cheese, biscuits with sausage gravy, grits and the fruit bowl. It was all excellent! It's a super cute space with really friendly people. Well go back for sure the next time we're in the area!

Stopped in on a whim for dinner while driving back from Statesboro. This quaint converted turn of the century home makes a cool restaurant. Unassuming in appearance and not flashy but the food was incredible and the service was on point and friendly. Will certainly return to The Canopy Restaurant and highly recommend. 👌

A delightful Sunday brunch in a beautiful old house was a treat today. We had the Canopy breakfast, chicken and waffle, chicken salad and, the special, a stone fruit salad with goat cheese. All of it was outstanding! Can't wait to return to this charming restaurant and are happy that its home is in Darien!

Quite literally the best place in all of Darien! My best friend & I decided to drive to Darien for a girl's day of Antique thrift shopping and lunch by the water and boy are we happy I found this place! The food was unbelievably fresh and so tasty, not to mention how CUTE this restaurant is! This was the best part of our trip, and I am so excited to go back! I got the Chicken Caprese Sandwhich and it DID NOT disappoint, I highly recommend. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with 3 different menus and a brunch menu! I really can't wait to make more trips to try it all!

An exceptional dining experience in Darien! We brought our little one and had a great evening - the old house is charming, the staff absolutely wonderful, and the food was terrific. Not sure where the complaints about portion sizes come from - I’m not a small dude and I had to take my dessert to go. We did get the appetizer - currently a chips and dip which was loaded with pulled pork, goat cheese, and other goodies, and that nearly filled us up (it did for the couple next to us who actually took their entrees to go). The food is artisan and they clearly pride themselves in creating a culinary experience as opposed to just putting good food in front of you.
They have a seasonal (~4 months) menu (currently about to change). We will be coming back.
Update: finally made it back for breakfast this time and wasn’t disappointed. They’ve revamped how they do breakfast and it’s awesome. Some may pick at “why does everything I add cost” but the base is so low, you end up ahead in the end by only paying for the ingredients you want. I got a sirloin breakfast bowl with lots of veggies and a coffee and toast for <$15. Add in the still phenomenal customer service and owners, that’s a great deal IMO.

We spend six winter weeks a year near Darien. The Canopy Restaurant is by far our favorite. The food is the best in town with an imaginative menu, a good bar and an inexpensive but lovely wine list. The service has been top notch with a staff that knows what it takes to make diners comfortable. And, in addition, the building is beautiful and we can try different rooms including the porch, where we have sometimes sat with our dog. If I was looking for a good meal while driving on I-95, I would stop at The Canopy rather than the fried food at Skippers or any of the other places near Darien or Brunswick.

I was there for Sunday brunch, it was pleasant and relaxing . If it was warmer I would have sat outside. I was surprised they didn't have hot tea. I had peanut butter and jelly French toast and it was delicious. I would like to stop by again.

First visit but won’t be the last. Food was delicious and the quaint atmosphere was inviting. For a relaxing lunch experience give this place a try

New addition to Darien, upper end of the price scale. Beautiful old house. The food is quite good, Tuna appetizer and summer salad were outstanding.
The menu is somewhat limited, heavy on steak.
A local fish special would be nice.
Beer and Wine only, decent selection. Worth the trip from Saint Simons if you want to escape the crowds and visit Darien.

Delicious lunch today. Sat on the front porch and everything, the decor, food, service and value was excellent. We had the grilled turkey cheese sandwich and the salmon salad. We looked at the dinner menu, which looked great also. We’ll definitely be back for that.

This is a great spot! The chips & dip, chicken, and chocolate cake were delicious. A fun little spot in a quiet town!

Had an early Mother’s Day dinner this evening. We had a fantastic server named Ashley and the plates we ordered were fantastic! Looking forward to seeing them again.

We had an amazing experience at The Canopy. I had booked ahead of time and told them it was our anniversary. They put us in a very romantic, quaint, room of our own. They even placed a Happy Anniversary card, signed by the staff, at our table! We were greeted with a smile by the hostess, Kristen, who was also our waitress. She was sweet and pleasant. The food was beyond delicious. We had the Artisan bread board to pair with our wine. The homemade biscuits were the best I have ever had! Then we had a small plate of Chile Rellano that had so many wonderful flavors. The main dishes we had were the half chicken and the mahi. So delicious! This was a perfect place for a romantic anniversary dinner.
