    A great spot on the Wharf The Jetty is a Buffet Style restaurant and is very popular with locals and tourist so can get very busy. With indoor and outdoor tables to choose from all taking in water views. There were plenty of Hot And fresh dishes to choose from and food was being constantly refreshed. The staff were attentive and helpful. It was value for money if you like a buffet. We were at the earliest seating and sat on the deck which was great but it was getting very busy as we were leaving and inside was looking a little hectic If this info was helpful please like and follow my reviews. Cheers

    Can not fault this venue, although a few feedback points to improve experience. Please have Oysters available on all nights.. have the air-conditioning serviced or install more fans as some tables simply dont have enough air flow. Also I really need the Octopus Salad recipe, it is to die for.

    Visited this place on a Tuesday evening and it was packed, with two sittings.! This shows how popular this venue is, with second to none location, with a Dining Deck over Darwin Harbour. The food selection was good for both main course and desserts. No coffee available here, so we had to go to another venue for coffee after..

    This place could do so much better. We came here hoping for some decent seafood options and some nice salads and veggie dishes but alas not to be. First red flag = we paid 43 dollars per head which is very reasonable but the food choices were totally underwhelming and reflected the cost. Tired overcooked baramundi, the obligatory prawns, some sort of scanty marinara mix, over cooked bits of meat, chicken skewers. There were other things there too but to be honest it was just disappointing. It could have an amazing presence on the waterfront but it just fails. We would've paid 100 per head for something really good. If I'm honest I don't think I would recommend this spot to people. It's tired, needs a bit of culinary CPR and life breathed into the building. The positive was the ocean right next to us and seeing the fishing boats coming in etc. Apart from that not a "must go there again" spot.

    Wow!! Had a beautiful Birthday dinner here. If you love seafood, this is the place to go! Fantastic Buffet Restaurant..Prawns, crabs, oysters, squid.. constantly being topped up all night! At $41.00 a head, it's a bargain! And, for $10 extra, (per dozen)you can have Oysters Kirkpatrick ... and boy are the oysters huge and plump!! And the cocktails!!! Omg, at $15 each, I couldnt stop at just one. We had a beautiful table outside overlooking the water...it was breathtaking... will definitely come again when we return to Darwin!!!

    After reading the rave reviews on this place, I was a little let down with the quality of the food. It took a long time to refill empty bowls on the sideboard. Prawns were water logged, but the steak was good. Ask them to cook it the way you like. Waitresses and waiters were good, cleaning up your table ready for your next serving. Drinks are a little on the expensive side. Sit inside in the air conditioning or outside.

    An excellent night out. The seafood just kept coming. Although it is mostly seafood there was also a delicious (according to my non fish eating friend) array of chicken done different ways, fillet steak, salads and desserts. Quite a good price 41.50pp (Aug22) and a beautiful view.

    Lovely spot to watch the moon rise over the water. All you can eat seafood and steak buffet. Can only rate what I tried - Prawns were lovely and fresh The barra was very dry as was the calamari. Hubbys steak was tough (although we did see later you could get it cooked to order). Potato bake was delicious as was the cheesecake for dessert. Very clean, attentive staff

    Been here twice. Food is good especially shrimps with squid but the guy at reception is not nice. He seems doesn’t like greeting Chinese even he is a Chinese too. It’s heartbreaking to witness that. Every time we brought a smile to him he intentionally turned to the other side to avoid eye contact with us. Whatever it’s, it is his choice. But what I experienced made me feel disappointed about this restaurant.

    this is one of the all you can eat restaurants in Darwin. Its location in front of the Darwin Convention Center offers a very beautiful view of the sea during the day and night. For only 40 dollars, you can eat as much as you like various menus there, ranging from various kinds of seafood such as shrimp, squid, crab, clams, steak, chicken, satay, duck, oriental dishes, salads, fruit and a fairly complete dessert. There are indoor and outdoor rooms, just choose according to your wishes.

    Situated nicely on the water with great views with good customer service. However was quiet a let down as I paid $42 for food that was just not up to standard. The steaks were well over cooked, prawns had no taste, crab meat was over cooked and had little to no meat and there was no oysters available. Everything except the deep fried food was just done wrong! Plus I seen kids reaching in the chocolate fondue fountain with there hands, like come on seriously! Won't be recommending this place.

    This place is off the hook and I always walk out feeling completely satisfied. What's that? You don't like seafood? Have a cooked-to-order steak, a choice of about 3 salads, and some rice, curry or pasta instead, mate. Seriously I dunno how this place makes money 'cause when I know I'm going there for dinner I never eat in the day so I can stuff myself senseless on oysters, prawns, mussels, and cheesecake. This time I also got some carbonara, duck, chilli swimmer crabs, a bowl of sweet corn soup, and some roast pork - and there was other stuff I didn't have room for either like bread rolls and watermelon but I can get that at home I guess. But we can't get a chocolate fountain at home can we kids? Nah! Good thing this outfit's got one then eh. As you can imagine this place packs out and when it's chokkas it's pretty hectic at the serveries so I always try to make reservations for a time before 7pm. The carpark fills up pretty early on too so you might end up parking further along but maybe a bit of a walk isnt such a bad idea after the stuffing you're about to subject yourself to. Forgot to mention the price - it's low; and the kids get in for less than the full rate, amazing. Staff - awesome; super attentive, courteous, and always working hard. It's busy as, no surprises there. There's probably some wicked scenery as well but I would have to get my snout out of the trough to appreciate it and like the bread rolls and watermelon, looking out the window is something I can do at home. Seen a heap of Gluten Free options and reasonably sure there were vegetarian dishes as well for example Rice and Lemon Wedges so everyone's got something to enjoy. Go on, be good to yourself for once. You've earnt this.

    Good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staffs. Nice view when you seat by the water.

  • 4/5 Nikolai P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food quality was ok, not amazing but better than some of the reviews here imply. Similar to what you'd expect at a mid range hotel. Inside seating was crowded on a Saturday night, outside was more pleasant except for the heat. There was a bit of a line at times for food, but never more than a few mins of waiting. Parents enjoyed the steak, kids enjoyed the four flavours of ice-cream!

    Great location right by the water, especially the outdoor seats. They even provide insect repellant which I found really thoughtful. The food is great, lots of seafood selections and a decent dessert selection too. Overall worthwhile for the price and good range of food.

  • 5/5 Helen W. 1 year ago on Google
    The seafood is fresh, and the other dishes taste good as well. They even got oyster in theirs buffet with a reasonable price. Sitting at the waterside and enjoying the view with dinner is really peaceful. Will definitely come back

    Situated on the water edge The Jetty has a fabulous all you can eat buffet with a range of enticing food to satisfy most appetites. Not being from the NT we were amused by the sign on the outdoor deck stating "Do not feed the fish or crocodiles". I would rank this restaurant as a must visit if visiting Darwin.

    Friendly staff, nice place to spend time with family while having yummy food. Food was good, plenty of food options, loved specially ice cream. Definitely will try again the chocolate fountain.

  • 1/5 Melissa J. 10 months ago on Google
    I have eaten better food on a mine site… very ordinary and most you can buy from coles. Not much choice at the bar either. Beautiful location but the food let it down. Food wasn’t topped up enough to keep up with customers so a lot was empty. Wouldn’t go again.

    We choose here for dinner before one of our church mate will leave Darwin on the weekend. Nice atmosphere and wide variety of foods. My other friend is vegetarian so no problem they had many fruits and salads. My husband doesn’t eat seafoods no problem, he loved the Chicken Curry. I loved seafoods no problem however what I loved the most was Crispy Pork & The Roasted Duck. We enjoyed the dessert station felt like a kid who wants an ice cream and had some colorful cakes. Like the lime cake so good 😍😍😍

    Great place to eat good views of the harbour outside seating

  • 4/5 Adrian W. 6 months ago on Google
    Was a good night but the food was not up to its usual best. The stake was dry and the salad was limp. If your into seafood I'm told by my guests it was nice. Overall a 4 star as it simply was not as good as we have had before, we will go again as no one is perfect.
