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.

A group of 10 enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of drinks and platters. Pina and her team looked after us. Highly recommend for small gatherings.

A beautiful, relaxing venue that offers the best views of the esplanade and a quieter sunset… The menu is extensive and full of variety and the service is excellent. Date for a fine wine if you must; a truly instagramable spot in the top end!

Great food and excellent service. The location was also a plus - sitting out on the deck overlooking the waterfront area was a perfect way to end the day. Very friendly staff.

We held a large dinner and reception here and their restaurant next door. The food was amazing. The staff were great. And, the location and views were some of the best in Darwin. Highly recommended.

Decided to eat tapas style and had several small plates which included oysters, prawn salad, grilled octopus, beef carpaccio. All dishes were excellent. More than enough for 2 people. The service by Jose was also excellent - great advice on the food and secured us...a nice table by the window.More

Smart place on the Waterfront, great views. Comprehensive menu and wine list with ok prices for the location. Service was good, friendly and fairly prompt. Food was tasty and well presented. Nothing spectacular, but satisfying. Reminded me of Sydney’s Darling Harbour including the big Ferris...wheel in the foreground.More

I have always been able to find a positive in my experience but where do I start with this establishment from poor quality meals to overpriced and underwhelming. We ordered the beef brisket, dry not seasoned and a packet coleslaw I could buy at coles...or Woolies all was under seasoned and lacked any flavour. The prawn and oyster papperdelle had 3 oysters, 2 prawns and a glued together mess of pasta, not to mention the lack of flavour that a $45 dish should have. And I know they are kids meals but Napoli sauce that tastes like it is pure tomato paste is not acceptable. And the pasta was overcooked. I understand that some days restaurants are having an off day but when I’m taking friends to dinner I have certain expectations. Lastly I was overcharged $26 for two drinks I did not have and have only just seen on my inflated bill. This is most unfortunate because I would never usually leave a bad review but this place has left a bad taste in my mouth.More
