Restaurants near Howard Springs Rural Retreat

There are occasions where Darwin produces some outstanding restaurants and this is one of them. My second visit and a third will follow when next in the NT. Ambience, outside or in to suit your mood. Staff, all professional and welcoming. We shared plates and being unfamiliar with the cuisine, left it to the kitchen to decide after letting them know our preferences. What followed was fantastic. Chicken, smooth and creamy, tangy prawns, was that kangaroo? Slow cooked lamb ribs and more. Every dish unique, the overall effect was a balance. Nothing clashed. Cocktails, now that's a test. A real traditional margarita, Long island iced tea, pick the spice -subtle. Cinnamon? Both well done, so dessert was a couple more margaritas, this time tamarind flavoured to cap off an excellent evening.

Always a treat- good wine list, tasty food, and impeccable service. The staff were amazing.

Pianos are great fun. I’ve been twice, great crowd singing along and dancing both times. The only downside is the food.

Loved it. Only thing was just a bit slow on the table service. Thanks!
