Double Tree by Hilton - DARWIN CITY

This place gets two stars only because the staff were lovely and one of our table of four had a great meal. Other than that it was a poor dining experience. We did some research on restaurants near our hotel, found this one, went to the website and had a look at the menu and thought it sounded good. Got there, menu was completely different with a lesser variety of meals. One of us ordered the risotto which was essentially gluggy rice with a couple of bits of beetroot and feta thrown at it which was average to say the least, two of us had the nasi goreng which was just bland and had v little appeal but the winner was the one of us that ordered the lamb from the grill which was cooked to perfection and was v nice. We had originally intended to stay for dessert but couldn't handle any more disappointment so left.

Visited the Poolside restaurant a couple of times because we were staying at the Doubletree by Hilton. The happy hour is fantastic - $5 basics. Food can be expensive for what it is, but everything was tasty. Went in one day for breakfast and the food was delicious. Staff go out of their way to help you, can't fault them at all!

We had lunch by the pool. It was delivered by one of the chefs and our son gave him a bit of cheek so he told him to "come for dessert after dinner" for a treat. We did and was one of the best experiences of our holidays! A 13yo is hard to impress but Chef Andy knocked his socks off with his presentation of dessert!! The 'De-con-strayed Cyclone Tracey Dessert Plate was AMAZING! The Tim Tam Pannacotta was fab too! We had a lovely evening meeting Chef Andy and Chef Preveen and Christian. Thank you so much, our young man is still talking about you! The food at Alice Springs Double tree Hilton is absolutely NO MATCH for you guys!

This restaurant next to the pool offers a great menu at a reasonable price. The tropical décor and hotel features are reminisce of early Darwin but only add to the occasion.

The chef at this hotel is extremely accommodating. The meals are lovely though a little pricey in comparison to other restaurants within Darwin. Staff are sparse. But if you don't want to leave the hotel its a nice option.
