Make sure u leave an hr before u want to ear based on our experience at Darling Harbour So very disappointing-we can't tell you how the meal was as after waiting over 45minutes for a table we still weren't able to get a seat. I made a 7.30 reservation for my partners birthday and when we arrived at 7.25 we... More

We have dined at the Parramatta & darling harbour restaurants we must of being lucky all 4 times we have been seated on time the food has been great and the service well for a crazy place pretty good.

We were bitterly disappointed with our Crinitis dining experience last Saturday (Easter saturday)evening. Despite booking days in advance for 7:30pm to sit outside and take in the ambience of the fireworks (with our children) we were not only kept waiting for 50 minutes (a ploy to spend more money at the bar?) but then could not access an outside table....

I always try to stay clear from crinitis mainly because it's portions are small and overpriced. But being so popular there's always someone who is eager. Everytime I have gone I have never been satisfied food/service/price wise but the last time I went was definitely the tip of the iceberg. We got there and had specifically reserved a table (... More

Wonderful menu. Everything from huge antipasti platters with zucchini flowers, meatballs and more...to large yummy pizzas. Washed down with a glass of proseco. If you sit on the balcony you have a great view of Darling Harbour. Seating does tend to take a while even if you book ahead but the wait is well worth it. More

LOVED the food. The portions are a bit oversized, but then, who complains about that? Definitely reserve in advance, unless you want to be waiting in a long line outside for dinner or lunch. More

Crinitis used to be really good, about 5 years ago, but the prices of their meals have soared as the flavour has progressively diminished. These days, they seem to be relying on multiple refits and renovations to maintain patrons' interest, when they really should be concentrating on producing a better standard of food. The service is also hit and miss:... More

Got here on a Sunday night without a booking to be told we would have to wait around 45 minutes for a table. Prepared to do this to see what the fuss was about we went to the bar where we were ignored for around 25 minutes before deciding to go next door where there was a perfectly good Thai... More
