I heard a lot about this place but it is just OK, It takes weeks to get the table you want as windows side tables are hard to find. Food is good and served with style but to us it was not worth it.

Unbelievably sad place, no idea of what fine dining is, expensive, terrible food, Nt health department fined the restaurant in 2015 for salmonella outbreak. Staff have no idea of service, wine served after entree, just before main meal, food was served cold, small portions. This place should be closed down to save itself embarrassment. Cheap decor looks like 1950s outfit trying to upsell itself as contemporary fine dining. There's a lot of 5 star rating on this restaurant online, I'm sure it's all done by the stakeholders as no paying person would rate this sad place more than one star.

Degustation here is certainly a treat, step into an elegant setting where your attention is drawn to the spectacular setting sun .Relax on the rear balcony area for a romantic drink. The angled atrium style windows surrounding this restaurant captures the ocean and sunset views and makes you feel like you are dining on the aft of a luxury cruise ship. Service here is very good. The staff are well informed about what they are serving. The food is packed with flavours , fresh and served piping hot . The Degustation menu matched with wines is creative a daring and it all works, in particular, matching the Pinot with the crispy skin local snapper with pickled fennel and orange was a real treat. Plate serving are generous size and 5 courses is perfect. What also makes this degustation special is your ability to customise the courses and the wine matching is changed frequently by the wait staff who are eager to please. The handmade cream pasta is to die for. All in all another great Darwin surprise .
