Le Cinque Terre

Had dinner there last Sunday night 3 June 2018, my husband, our son and I and we thought it was absolutely superb. My son will be moving to that immediate area when his building is complete so it will become his local and judging by our faultless experience, I am sure he will eat there frequently, as we will when we visit. The Garden Room at the back was a delightful area and the food and the service were just great. Had a selection of tapas and we each chose something different for our main meal and we were all more than happy with our choices. We will be back.

Last Sunday we hosted an event there of about 20 people, the food was plentiful and delicious, as was the sangria we ordered. They accommodated the event wonderfully, and the set menu was lovely and enjoyed by those who attended the event, great Spanish, Italian and Mediterranean inspired tapas and paella. The staff was organised and friendly, and dietary requirements were handled well. One of our favourite restaurants to book, and we'll definitely be booking it again in the future!

We were expecting a lovely meal for two when we picked a 6 course tapas dinner with dessert. We were really looking forward to what the chef is going to cook for us as the restaurant had 4.4 stars. However the expectation wasn’t quite met with the chef selection as we find that the food is a bit average but with the price of $45 per person, one would expect that the food is something more than baked potatoes, meatballs and small samosa looking dish. Other dishes were also average. Seafood Arancini doesn’t really taste like there’s seafood in it. The ambience was good, but we certainly felt that we didn’t get the value out of the meal. Was quite disappointed given that the price we have paid, we would have got something way better than that, and would have had portion much bigger than that too. It really could have been better....
