Mietta's Review
Buzz is now staying open throughout the wet season as there is enough demand from hungry locals. Can dine inside or out and watch the boats sail by on the marina. The food is hearty and tasty. Decor is Javanese inspired and quite impressive and the outlook over the water is wonderful.

Other published opinions

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 12.5/20 "Buzz may be known for its quirky toilets (full-height two-way mirrors for the gents; resin toilet seats featuring barbed wire and redback spiders for the ladies), but that's not the most interesting aspect of the dining environment"

CitySearch Christine Bond, October 2005 "Furnishings are teak and mahogany with signature pieces from local Darwin artists. Floor to ceiling glass walls and slide-away shuttered doors make full use of the waterfront location. The overall effect offers patrons a relaxed atmosphere that is a blend of Asian and modern tropical styles and artworks"
