The O.A.K. - Original Australian Kitchen Darwin — Restaurant in Northern Territory

Dining out should be a slow experience, whilst the food was very good, we felt rushed all the times with the service,no sooner had we received our entree,s the staff were trying to serve us the main course even though we asked for a break. and even before they had cleared the plates away they were trying to tempt us with desert being told that the kitchen closes at 9.30 pm, for heavens sake slow down.My other comments would be that whilst there seemed to be enough staff around only one person most of the time was actually serving the meals out and we also noticed that the meals were banking up on the servery awaiting service to the tables .
