The restaurant was designed in careful detail by owner Osama Khalaf and architect Osama Sakakini. Its open patio shaded by banana trees offers intimacy and comfort; in the winter months, an indoor fireplace warms guests from the mountain air.

Darna's flavors come straight from the surrounding hills and nearby ocean - fresh summer salads, homemade breads from a wood oven, and fish grilled on an open fire.
