Sad to hear you guys are closing, but so thankful that I had a chance to go. Great job on the space, drinks and food was delicious. We really had fun! And you managed to spook us with one of the special effects as we were leaving. Well done and all the best to what you do next!

Great cocktails and food. The atmosphere is surreal

I really enjoyed the atmosphere! It's very unique, the drinks are creative, and the staff are very friendly. My only advice was it's a bit to loud to have a conversation at the table.

The food was delicious, sure it's smaller plates but they are yummy and we just kept ordering more tasty food. The drinks are good, booze forward. I LOVE Tuesdays for Dark Island - the spooky tiki fusion is awesome with the more sweet and sour drinks avail - plus the gogo dancing is great!

We had a great time, we've been a few times now. The ambiance is great, we enjoy the gimmick.

stunning beautiful haunting dark victorian atmosphere, with a super creative menu & perfect music to match. the bartender adding a deathly tale was a nice touch & loved how the server customized my request

I really enjoyed this restaurant, the ambiance is great, the drinks are strong yet delicious. There is only a couple details that holds it back from a 5 star. I had a birthday party of 15 so a little more than their 12 limit. I was told that the entire bill has to be paid by one person and later we would have to work it out ourselves. I agreed to this, though never experienced this before. The waiter came and asked us not to play musical chairs as he wants to keep our orders organized, which is fair. Though at the end of the night when receiving the bill none of it was separated by guest in which asking us to not “play musical chairs†felt a little rude after since he was lumping it all together anyways. Only after asking a couple times to separate the bill did he print it for each guest on one sheet... of course the tip was attached to only one person meaning I had to adjust it accordingly (auto gratuity of 18%, standard but never a practice I've agreed with in any restaurant) of course I paid it all on one, though for an $800 bill it would have been nice not to have to spend the awkward time asking your guests to etransfer you money a couple days later.
Fun place, cozy/small but super well done. Fun to experience that Halloween vibe anytime of year...

This is the kind of place where you go once for the experience with no real need to ever return. The environment is cool - they've definitely done a good job. The drinks leave something to be desired. I had a green concoction that was the worst tasting drink I've ever had in my life. At 13 dollars I forced myself to choke it back. My friend's drink wasn't much better - it just tasted like pure rum. I probably wouldn't return.

"La Carmina loves the Dark Manor Inn! Spooky themed decor, Victorian victuals and a great horror Gothic atmosphere. Perfect place for LaCarmina and Goths to gather for drinks."

Hauntingly fun hole in the wall for a reviving Fraser corridor area. Drinks are well mixed the staff is knowledgeable both about what drinks they serve, and how to serve other drinks. It's a little cramped, but fits the Victorian motif, and the areas are well segmented to allow patrons privacy in public when needed. (Knooks and corners abound!) Come initially for the cool motif, stay for the drinks, knowledge and service.

Gothic treasures once you open the doors. From the outside you would have no clue what it's like inside. Dark lights, gargoyles and the fog machine add to the ambiance of the place. The food portions were decent. The cocktails were interesting. Weirdly enough one couldn't get a Caesar as a drink. They don't stock Clamato? When I asked for a Bloody Mary (trying to keep with that Crimson Peak theme), they don't have tomato juice.
