Of Daryl, New Jersey Monthly writes:

"With Daryl, Arifai gains things he has never had: a truly handsome, stylish place; larger seating capacity; and, crucially, a liquor license. So in addition to serving highly pleasing food at moderate prices, including several delectable pastas, Arifai has retooled the wine list to offer 100 wines under $50, plus 58 by the glass in three different pour sizes."
