I called out to him to attend to me and he said my table for 6 persons wasn’t set up / I told him again I was dining alone. He took me to an inside table whereas every other diner was outside where weather was stunning and plenty of free spaces. It was freezing cold under the fans. He eventually brought me menu which was filthy with finger marks all over it. I ordered crispy skin barramundi/ it took almost an hour then it arrived, soggy skin drowned in some sort of mushy stuff unidentifiable and inedible - I paid $38 for the only part I could eat of the fish and left. Never eat there if you have a choice. It was in inviting, dirty and very disinterested waiter. No one asked me what I thought of the meal and looked like they didn’t care.

Being attached to one of the finest hotels in Darwin I expected a lot. I was disappointed, it could be great but it is pretty ordinary. There was no redeeming qualities either in decor, menu or service.

Bruschetta was one of the best, haloumi was used which made it different. But the main with the truffle mash was amazing. We drove in from rural area with limited expectations as many hotel restaurants are overlooked but would do it again for this level of food. Service was very good when given, although not busy had to chase waiter for 2nd round of drinks. Small recommendation, when looking for salt n pepper shakers discovered they were satchels in with the sugar on the table. Looked a little tacky. We can do better.

It was me and my boyfriend's first new year together and I'm happy about how it turned out! I requested for a seat outside and they put us where we can see the 9pm fireworks well. The guy named Cliff assisted us nicely too. The food took a while, (which is understandable since it was busy) but it is worth the wait! The Calamari and Ribs was superb! This will definitely not be the last time dining in at Curve. Highly Recommended!

Vegetarian, I had one choice only, which was a pumpkin risotto. The rice wasn't cooked enough, floating in the the cooking water of the rice, with a crunchy (and green sometimes) pumpkin on the top. The mango smoothie was really good though! We decided to don't take any dessert, as we spent already $90 and almost didn't eat the food. That's a shame because the place was really good located, it was maybe due to not enough staff for this night. The woman at the counter was very nice, but had to deal with phone orders, customer requests, counter, and even service for the drinks. Not an easy job to do while 10/15 people are waiting in the queue looking at you. Sorry for this comment but I thought it will be good to be honest to improve the organisation and increase the loyalty of your customers. Thanks

The kids meal included a drink and icecream which was great valu for money. They selection was great. One of the kids accidently spilled their apple juice and the staff were so kind and cleaned it up and made another one free of charge. They made us feel welcome an did the best to make the lunch special.
