The food at Tim's Surf & Turf was quite disappointing. The grilled barramundi I ordered looked tasty enough but when I ate it I found it very bland. I had to add salt to give it a bit of flavour but there was no improvement. I'd also ordered veges with the barra but this consisted mostly of carrots. Again the... More

We would eat here on a regular basis and the food is fantastic. If you order before 6.30pm kids eat free for every paying adult - Great Value. Tim and his staff are fantastic and very friendly. More

This restaurant is situated in Darwin CBD and without doubt one of the cities best, not just the food, but for the whole experience. It has great casual ambiance, a fabulous menu, great wine, a huge range of local and imported beer, and most of all an absolutely consumate host in the great man himself. This guy is an absolute...

The food was absolutely fantastic and came in vast quantities. The atmosphere was lively, and the serving staff were very welcoming. One of the waiters came over to our table and did some brilliant magic tricks for us. More

Walk in and find a table- there is usually not a hostess unless it is a busy night. Your menu card is on the table... More
