   Great venue. Great staff. Great prices! But the food was hit and miss I hate to say. The chowder was fantastic as were the oysters. My fish dish was cold! Cold as if cooked yesterday. As were the chips. Cold! Dishing up cold food- no excuse. And on this occasion I didn’t complain, just let it go. My partners barramundi on the other hand was also fantastic. So go figure… As an aside there were not many diners the night we went, perhaps 10 in total, but peopl3 were still waiting a very very long ti e to be served. Maybe teething troubles?

   Though the ambience was five star, the service was average with one particular waiter being rude. The wait time for dinner after the entree was over an hour as there was also a function going on in the garden downstairs that seemed to be getting all the attention. Everyone in the restaurant this night were waiting for the mains the same length of time as we were and you could tell that they were not satisfied. We were considering leaving. It was a shame as we were really looking forward to a good night.

   I think the quality of the seafood was hidden by the elaborate treatment in the dishes. My snapper was a bit over cooked, and the accompanying mussels odd - sloppy but seemed undercooked. Maybe the type of mussel? My husband’s octopus was awful - tough, mushy and wet- maybe it had been frozen too long. His Antarctic Patagonian tooth fish in a bisque with pipis was excellent though. The Paris mash was an ordinary, lumpy mash, missing the buttery silkiness it should have. A very interesting wine list entertained us, with some excellent French champagne available by the glass. Service was excellent, apart from having to go to the till to pay, rather than at table. I also really resent this current COVID policy of no cash, and then be charged a credit card fee. It’s everywhere up here and is inexcusable. This was an expensive dinner so one should expect it to be much better across the board. A restaurant of this level in Sydney or Melbourne would not survive delivering erratic quality.

   Hi Gwenna, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience at our venue didn't achieve your expectations. We sustainable source our produce from the best locations in Australia as fresh as possible. The mussels, for example, are sourced from Port Lincoln in SA. Our octopus, sourced from Fremantle in WA, is confit in EVOO to make it soft and tender. I'll share your feedback with our chefs to keep improving and offering a better experience everytime.

   We booked a table to celebrate our anniversary and were hoping for an amazing experience (after driving for 3 hours from Katherine). To note, given the reviews, the table was booked earlier in the week. The service initially was prompt with the drinks, however, was slower with the food. Obviously, there was a food blogger so everyone was busy with the blogger. We waited for over 20 minutes to order dessert - no one came. Hence we decided to finish our champagne and leave. And LASTLY, we requested the bill, which was promptly paid at the counter. ONLY TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE MANAGER OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT ON THE MAIN STREET IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND A FULL HOUSE ASKING IF WE HAD CLOSED THE TABLE AS THE SYSTEM WAS SHOWING OUR TABLE 'OPEN'. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED BY THE SERVICE AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT AGAIN. P.S HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DARWIN CLUB - WE GET BETTER SERVICE AT THE PUB or AT MCDONALDS.

   Dear customer, We are sorry to hear that your experience dining with us didn't achieve your expectations. The table had not closed on our system, leading us to believe there had been an issue with the process - we politely asked you to wait one moment while we double checked - a quite reasonable request. This was done discreetly and out of earshot of other diners. I note this seems to be main reason for your review as nothing was mentioned prior on your night. Regards, Vanessa

    Order off the meat menu at your own peril. Flavourful spring rolls & perfectly done scallops. However, soggy crab spaghetti (negligible amount of crab) & pumpkin ravioli drenched in overpowering & salty mushroom sauce.

    Good afternoon, we are sorry to hear that your experience dinning with us didn't achieve your expectations. As explained, we have had some of our team given directions to isolate. We did call you to explained that we were ofering Char menu due to this circumstances. Regarding the food, our pumpkin tortellini are served with walnut cream not mushroom sauce. It is one of our most popular dishes and we had great feedback about it on the night. We hope that you give us another chance in the future.

    The place provided an intimate and lovely atmosphere to dine in. The booking itself was straightforward and helped the staff recognise the special occasion of the dinner. (They put a little candle on top of our dessert plate with the words 'Happy Birthday' written on which we didn't ask for.) The staff was friendly, not overly solicitous. It was great to find a place that cooked 'wild-caught' and fresh seafood mostly. We loved squid ink risotto and the dessert plate the most. I was a little bit disappointed about the cream chowder (Pancetta was quite tough to eat for my experience) but overall the food we had was very satisfying.

    Very ordinary and VERY over-priced Of the approx 8 entree and 8 mains, there were 3 or 4 not available, then when I finally selected one, I was told that part of that dish was also unavailable. My wifes fish was so dry it was inedible.. The desert menu then came, and the same desert description was for 2 different deserts - ALL deserts had white chocolate in them - bad luck if you dont like white chocolate. When i pointed out the same description for 2 different deserts, the waiter said yes thats right, WHY WOULD YOU THEN CONTINUE TO GIVE SOMEONE THIS MENU? VERY overpriced - and not worth the money or the 3 week wait for a booking.

    Hi Ben, We are sorry to hear that your experience dinning with us didn't achieve your expectations. Like other hospitality business, we have been experiencing interruptions on our supply chain, due mainly to Covid 19. We are working in a solution changing some of our suppliers to be able to offer our full menu all the time. Regarding our dessert menu, everything is made on house and only some of the desserts include white chocolate on different textures. We highly recommend you to try them!

    Unfortunately, they've stopped making the brownie dessert we adored when we were there last time. Don't despair though - it was all amazing and just hopefully they bring back the brownie.

    Hi there, thank you so much for your great review. We also loved the brownie dessert that we used to have at The Darwin Club, we reopened as a new restaurant last October and created a new menu accordingly. Tip: If you really miss it, you can order it from the kids menu downstairs at Chair!

    When booking this NYE dinner, we were not told the approximately half the menu wasn’t available. Topping off the night, the staff begun to close up by clearing tables and chairs from the room prior to us receiving our dessert. Overall it wasn’t a pleasant experience for a bill over $300 for two people.

    Hi Silvia, we are sorry to hear that your experience with us wasn't as expected. We always try our best to provide a great experience. As we were closing for over two weeks that night and some of our supplier were closed for the Christmas period, we couldn't offer our full menu. It's not something common and we kindly ask you to don't judge us for this interaction with us. Looking forward to see you soon

    For a restaurant aiming for a very high standard based upon their cost of menu both the service let them down / poured our own wine / and the food had flaws / potato fondant was raw however other main components well well cooked and presented. Hopefully issues that will be fixed with time

    One word, disappointing. Service wasn’t good, the waiters did their best but not up to standard. The food wasn’t good. Flathead was dry and oily, my wife had the Jewfish which was tough and too salty. The dessert didn’t make it to the table after 40mins so we paid the bill and left disappointed. Never again
