    I always love the atmosphere, the food, and the amazing drinks!! We got the truffle parmesan as an entree and i wouldn’t recommend, there wasn’t much parmesan or truffle flavour and the chips were too chunky and oily. They used to be so much better!

    I had booked a table for 8:30pm for 8 adults, 1 child, and 1 infant with a pram. After waiting 20 minutes with no table ready, we were offered a table that was not suitable for the pram. I accepted it only because it was already late, my guests had arrived, and my child was tired from waiting. Very disappointed with the experience.

    I ordered king prawn risotto and I’m the picture it has two kind prawns. When it arrived at the table- I had one king prawn so small burnt and black 3 small tiger prawns For $40.00 that is completely unacceptable I would like a something done- discount or credit. I wasn’t able to complain as it was so busy and did want to make a scene. But I’m not happy at all.

    Very poor. Tried to change a meal wrongly described on the menus. This took for ever and resulted in an argument about having to pay for this meal as well as the new order. My meal was cold and it took ages to have this reheated

    I had the Rigatoni Vegetarian. It looked nothing like in the photo. I couldn't find any olives, feta & pine nuts. Everything was swamped in the basil pesto sauce. I feel they should reduce their menu down to the items they are good at. The pizzas are good.

    Other than difficulty in processing my Eat Club membership, the experience was great. This was not your staff's problem, but rather my new Eat Club membership. We enjoyed very generous & tasty arancini and a beautiful pizza.

    Having a one hour time limit is ridiculously absurd considering it takes a while for the food to come out. We should not have to be rushed out when dining out.

    Food was good without being spectacular, very good serving sizes. The big disappointment was the no split bills policy. With the simplicity of EFT machines these days, how can you not split bills?

    We are regulars to Crinitis when visiting the city as both the kids and us love it. Huge selection of meals available and great size servings. We had no wait time as we booked ahead which I would always advise to do as it's always busy even in the early hours (5.30pm). Staff are clearly use to dealing with big crowds and fast turn over of tables as they provide a great service even when it's heaving. We will be back for sure.

    We were seated in the middle of the walkway and it was very overcrowded where we were put. There were 4 of us and the table was far too small. The servings are quite large and our table was really squashy. We asked to be put on a bigger table as my sister was really overwhelmed being in such a small space and they couldn’t accommodate us.

    This is my second visit to Criniti’s and had wonderful lunch today. Great menu selection to choose from and our table had excellent service from staff. There is a great vibe and it was busy and our food arrived in good time, but I did find the background music was on the loud side.
