Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews

So the Mrs for my birthday dinner suggested we try a new venue.
The Cinnamon Kitchen
It looks like they have a restaurant at Ohalloran Hill and Seaford.
The reviews are pretty good on the whole. Main complaints were delivery was on the slow side.
So we made our way down to Seaford, fairly early as we were both quite hungry and ready to eat phar lap.
It's located in a little centre next door to a foodland.
Walk in, and it's quite underwhelming.
The interior is basic, a brown, wooden colour. 4 tables. None of which were set.
The gentleman at the counter was on the phone.
He was on the phone for an extended period of time.
We were then guided to a table to sit at with the takeaway menus
He came back to the counter, took another phone order for a few minutes before he organised our plate, cutlery.
The cutlery was, well, not as clean as it should be.
The aroma from the kitchen was nice, but the service wasn't satisfactory.
Why offer dine in, when clearly that is not what you want. It's not hard to set the tables, even just the paper/disposable table cloths. Just make it inviting.
We felt like we were an inconvenience, so we left.
So, heading back to Porties we thought we'd try Boonys.
Upon entry we were happily greeted, as we always are. They managed to fit us in, gave us a table under the heater, a prime location.
We kicked it off with the stuffed mushrooms which is always a winner.
The mains came from the ever changing Specials board.
A chicken Hawaiian parmi which was as expected nice and juicy.
I went the Battered burra rested on handmade wedges with aoli and a pesto. Never had Burra served in a batter that looked like a parcel.
And inside that batter was magnificent, mouth watering delicious white meat.
Absolutely full and content.
Boony delivers the goods yet again
Came home with some pieces of cake for dessert. Which may get a run at half time of the footy.
