CaJo Restaurant

"As the first people in the restaurant we were served quickly, the mains came out and were quite good. we then signaled for the menu to order dessert, this is where it started to go downhill. we waited for longer than we would have liked (about 20 mins) for our dessert order to be taken (there was only one girl serving, who was also taking orders and making drinks) we waited approximately 40 minutes for our dessert to arrive, by this time there were 2 other tables (3 in total, not too many.) we waited for both tables to have received their mains before our dessert arrived. at this point we were moments from walking out of the restaurant and cancelling our dessert. the thing that confused us more was that the dessert seemed mostly if not entirely premade.. so to make the dessert would have only taken moments and not warranted the 40 mins wait time. also 1 of the 2 dessert we ordered, the crème Brule, was on the small side.. nor was it presented in a ramekin causing poor glaze to bulk ratio. while we were waiting the restaurant filled with what i can only describe as hot oil fumes from the cooking which gave my company a head ache and made me wish id taken a table outside. i suggest you look at a stronger extraction fan for the kitchen. on the upside the mains were very nice, and the "deconstructed banoffee pie" was good however poorly named.. as it was more like banoffee trifle than a traditional deconstructed dessert. the crème Brule was too small for the cost. I wouldn't return in a hurry."

"Great meal , perfectly cooked flounder excellent service great atmosphere definitely recommended this place can’t wait to go back yummy. I had the flounder grilled and the wife had the Quail and veggies"

"I know the owner Cajo because he bought my car before. Today finally got a chance to try the food here with my friends and we were all super satisfied with the meal. Fish was umami, lamb shank was juicy and tender and the sea food paste was simply the best I’ve ever had in Darwin. Price is very reasonable with generous portions as well. Would definitely come back on my R&R in the future. Highly recommended!!"

"Nice quiet romantic restaurant. Attentive staff. The steak was cooked the way I ordered it and tasted delicious. A selection of wines, the house wine was good. Parking in the Ward Keller car park."

"I really enjoyed the Cheeky Eggs Benedict!! The Beef Cheeks were sooooo succulent and tender!! The Strawberry Milkshake was more on the Coconut side than Strawberry but I thought it was still really nice! I highly recommend it though!! Great first experience, awesome view and staff! Will definitely be dining in again :)"
