Fantastic buffet breakfast and dinner options, including an omelette station, sushi and espresso that satisfied our inner Sydney Newtown radar! Nuff said.

We were staying at Sails and came here as we wanted something different from the interactive buffet. The Malyu was closed. Despite our reservation the staff were surprised when we showed up, perhaps as it was early in the evening. The view of of a back hard which is not lighted and not particularly pleasant. The place is dark and... More

We had a lovely view of the garden and excellent food, perhaps the best steak we had in Australia. The service was perfect.

We were staying at Desert Gardens so thought we would give their restaurant a try, we chose the 2 types of lamb meal, which was cutlets and a slow cooked lamb tartlet with roast garlic & cherry tomatoes. It was superb, and although we originally thought @ $42 a little expensive we soon changed our minds, it was worth every... More

We walked over to the Desert Gardens Hotel from Sails in the Desert where we were staying to have a meal at The Grill. We had booked but on arrival were shown to the cafe/general dining area but brought the menu for The Grill! Clearly there had not been enough reservations (or they did not have sufficient staff) at the... More

We wanted to have a nice dinner while here so I booked a table for 4. The team in the floor was friendly and managed to take care of us mentioning again to be understaffed. My fish was overlooked, the salmon too, however the beef steak was superb and the pork belly too, desserts were well presented and nice too!... More

We decided to try this place out as it was mentioned on the transfer bus coming from the airport. We got there a little early and had a lecture about being early. So we decided to go to the bar for a drink and then come back, although we did think about giving it a miss and going to another... More

The menu had some very interesting options and we ended up having three courses. After ordering, we were brought a small bread roll each with butter, oil and dukkah. The bread was nice but the dukkah was unremarkable so we both ended eating the roll with butter. For entree, I had rock salt and bush pepper calamari which was tender... More

I saved my final night to celebrate The Red Centre at the Arnguli Grill ... I was not disappointed! A gracous welcome, seamless service and an outstanding grilled medium rare steak with truffle butter accompanied by a large serving of kiffler potatoes and an extra side of fresh salad ((in the desert!). You can expect expensive entrees ... You are... More

This is my first ever negative review on TA! A very lovely receptionist at Sails in the Desert recommended this place to us. We were asking for good steaks. Since we are no native speakers we asked the waiter to explain the several cuts of beef to us. "I don´t know, I go ask" (Porterhouse), same with two other dishes.... More
