Do you have a new crew in your kitchen?? I always love this place even though it accidentally served me oyster with worm on the shell twice or thrice but i always come back because the food always fresh and nice. One of the best places to eat in Darwin. But tonight i was shocked how mushy and slimy the prawns were. I thought it was off but it didn’t smell bad so i guess must be overcooked or was it frozen then serve? My caviar oysters were missing the sour cream and the panko missing the mayo. The atlantic ones have cream on it, but the cream was put on the top at the end of the shell, why tho?! If it meant to be eaten with the oyster just put it on top of the oyster the way it always has. You already served the oysters/ food at it best, please don’t change it. If you want to improve you can start by standardizing the platting and train your staff to always have the same quality when they produce their food or drinks.

Read moreBeautiful location, very varied menu and a lot more than just oysters, in saying that some of the best oysters I have had both here and internationally. Staff also get a mention, very friendly and helpful. I have one complaint. The use of PLASTIC STRAWS served with every drink is absolutely shameful in this day and age particularly on the waterfront. Please consider the alternatives available Oyster Bar. Have a glass of paper straws on the counter and let people take them if they need them but just popping plastic straws in every drink served is just inexcusable now. I know for a fact we were not the only people commenting on this practice that evening. Many places around Darwin have now made the swap to paper straws. Please lead by example. Despite this blatantly irresponsible practice, highly recommended. P.S I would of given 5 stars if it wasn't for that...
