Dined here this evening with my wife and two daughters before the Nancy Ajram Concert . The place is so close to the ICC and light rail.... a bonus in itself however the real standout was the Darling pavilions , great food , drinks , and service. I often do reviews on restuarants and hotels here in Australia abroad however I honestly could not fault this place at all. The lamb skewers , garlic bread , calamari and Buratta cheese as the starters was next level, as was the fried chicken burgers and pizzas. Tirimasu for dessert was a winner and the pints and cocktails were on point. Price was very fair , smiling faces all round! Will we come here again?? 💯!!

We had such a great experience at Darling Pavilion! The food was absolutely delicious – everything came out fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Juan was our server and he was fantastic. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after the entire time. The service was just as great as the food. Will definitely be back – highly recommend! 😊

Really nice place! I'm so glad I came; the atmosphere is super cozy and modern, a really great concept. The menu is a bit limited, but all the food is very tasty, fresh, and beautifully presented. The lamb, OMG!!! As feedback, perhaps the bar could be improved the Amaretto Sour is good, but I wouldn't recommend the Mojito. And perhaps a suggestion to improve the experience is the ventilation inside; without AC on hot days, you lose a bit of comfort. But the staff is very attentive, cheerful, and helpful—much appreciated! I highly recommend it and will be back!

Really pretty 🤩 atmosphere 🪔 and decorations, good price 💵but food 🥘 could be a tad better.🤷‍♀️ Had the Angus 🥩 burger 🍔 and it was nothing crazy just normal good burger. To make it better I think they need to add another sauce 🧂🫗or something. Pizza 🍕 was good as well but it had a lot of oil 🛢️on top which is hella weird 🧐like full on used napkin 🧻 to soak it up so gotta fix that. Service gets a 3/5 ⭐️ because they messed up on one of our orders 😱by giving us the wrong pizza🍕 ❌. Wasn’t that busy so not sure what happens there but whadever. 🤷‍♀️ I think it’s labelled as a pub 🥂🍺but I think they need to extend on their mocktail 🍹menus and be a lil more open and versatile with drinks.🍷 Had a lot tvs 📺 to watch tennis 🎾 or cricket 🏏 or whatever ur heart desires 😸and it wasn’t even loud so u can actually hear the other person speak.👍 Overall pretty fancy 👏restaurant with alright food. 🥘
