Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

While the website says they are open from 5, it’s only for snacks and happy hour drinks until 6. Service was a bit haphazard at the start, only one person to serve drinks which included making multiple cocktails (not for us) A great location by the water. The food was good and reasonably priced if you compare with other like locations. Menu has a good range of choices

I recently went to the Gatsby themed New Years Party at Wharfone. Not only was this a fabulous theme with everyone getting into the 20’s, the event was amazing, get drinks, with little to no wait time, food was insanely good, people were chasing the waiters for more. It wasn’t required though because they had so much food throughout the evening. Location was excellent with 2 lots of fireworks and under cover protection from that annoying storm this year. You guys know how to throw an event. Would highly recommend...1000% got our money’s worth.

We decided to order the suckling pig with entree and desserts for $80.00 per head, and it did not disappoint. The service and attention to detail were faultless. Our family enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend anybody with a group booking to do the same.

Food was really good. However there may have been an issue in the kitchen. As we didn’t get our starters for 45 minutes. Staff then brought everything out all at once. Drinks took just as long. The portions sizes were extremely small considering we had paid $35-40 per main. Side of steamed green vegetables was larger than both main plates combined.

An absolutely lovely location and the staff are super friendly and helpful. But to be honest, it is pretty price for what you get. The food is great especially the seafood pasta and steak, but it’s the sort of place where you spend a lot of money on the main and then have to pay extra for sides. We all left slightly hungry and felt the cocktails where quite watered down. For $18 a cocktail - you expect to have a slightly stronger cocktail. I feel with so much competition in the waterfront, for those prices - it could be better.

Booked into Wharf One for my birthday. Was seated at a table overlooking the wharf and ferris wheel which made for great scenery at sunset. The menu has a great range of choice, but in the end, the seafood platter for two was too tempting to pass up. The range of seafood went from tasty sashimi, delicious scallops & calamari, crunchy fried prawns and two generous pieces of Barramundi. The sides of salad and potatoes were also both excellent. The platter was both generous and well priced which should make it a must try for any diners coming into Darwin. Service was great and the manager Pina came over to wish me a happy birthday and gave us a nice little dessert to share. Wine choices both good and well priced.

Friendly staff. Nice meal. Pleasant atmosphere. Cooks need to use gloves when handling food. Cold beers. Garlic bread not available??? Plain bread was an additional cost to the small portion main meal.

We had dinner here with another couple and were impressed with the location and menu. The service was a bit slow and the value for money was definitely not there. We were charged $16 for 4 slices of sourdough (basically just bread) and one of them was the end of the loaf and another was full of holes. We had to keep enquiring about our food and drinks and were told on numerous occasions that it was the first night of a new menu and sorry for the delays???

Dear Andhew, thank you for taking time to review us, we apologise as it was the first night for our chefs and team on our new amended menu.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Had an unforgettable dining experience. First off amazing picturesque location, i was baffled by the waterview overlooking the Darwin harbor. Soon as we entered the staff greeted us with a warm welcome, very friendly staff, i usually order a dish that I'm familiar with but on this particular night I decided to try the chefs recommendation for a change and our server recommended the melted brie cheese which was a deep fried bree cheese with a cream cheese brittle and a moist juicy succulant duck breast. Both the dishes were amazing, bursting with flavour and complimented each other very well, the food felt like a journey and each bite was as amazing as the last. Fantastic presentation and pleasently surprised! All in all a great ambiance, amazing service and the food is to die for.. highly recommend. I know I'll be back.

i've eaten a number of times at Wharf One, most have been ok but last night was not one of them. i arrived about 15 minutes before the kitchen closed but was assured that wasn't an issue. i ordered 300G Porterhouse, cauliflower puree, broccolini, red wine jus, medium rare with sides, steamed greens & crispy potatoes. the steak was served within minutes suggesting steak being precooked & seared just before serving. the steak was as requested, medium rare, but only warm, there was hardly any cauliflower puree, 2 small limp pieces of broccolini & about 8-9 potatoes, no steamed greens. i asked for some bread but was told 'we don't serve bread'. I ordered a bottle of wine from the pretty ordinary wine list, 'sorry not available'. asked for sparkling water, 'sorry not available'. half was through eating my meal the steak was cold. very disappointing.

I dined here for the first time recently for my birthday dinner with my two tween children. Our waiter Jose was very attentive and accommodating for my dietary requirements despite how busy an evening it was and surprised me with a special birthday ice-cream which was a lovely touch. The food was amazing and the location and ambience was perfect. Will be back again.

Dinner was overpriced, 200 gr steak with flavourless mashed potato $55, a side of green veges $21 -which had 2 brussel sprouts, 3 sprigs of broccolini and 1 withered piece of spinach. Waited a long time for the meal and during the wait 2 waitresses bought someone else's meals to our table twice before our meal eventually arrived. Very disappointing meal for the price. Fine dining prices, no table clothes or table settings, the salt and pepper were shared with the table near us.

Dear Shelij0 Hospitality like most industries are experiencing high price increase for produce, staffing, rents, transport. We are unable to carry the costs, and therefore have adjusted our menu and pricing. We are not in control of this price hiking that is occurring nationally. Please bear with our team as we work thru these times. Thank you

We dined our on the deck which was very comfortable and had lovely views of the waterfront precinct and tropical light show. I ordered the Humpty Doo barramundi which was nicely presented and delicious. Our waitress Anna took our experience to a whole new level with her energetic, friendly and very attentive service.

For a restaurant that has won several awards the experience was pretty average. We arrive at 6.30 for dinner and it took around 10 minutes before we were asked for drinks. The only NT beer on the drinks list was unavailable as was the wine my wife and friend asked for . A small annoyance but worth noting. We ordered the baked brie with the poached pear and sushimi for entree. The brie was not hot and the sushimi was sliced so thin we were not able to determine the type of fish. I ordered the hot pot which came with roast potatoes. It was luke warm at best and the potatoes were not particularly appertising. Our friend ordered the crispy skinned salmon and once again it was luke warm and the accompanying vegetables were cold. My wife ordered the barramundi which was cooked well and was appertising. I was advised that the slow service was due to staff shortages which I can put up with but the quality of food was disappointing.

Booked for 2 for my 70th.Fish Dish Had the best ever service from Joseph . They were extremely busy with 2 or 3 Christmas functions on at the same time. Joseph managed to make us feel special and even though we did not do a birthday cake he managed a Happy Birthday message and sparkler on the pana cotta my wife ordered. We felt special.
