This restaurant has been closed down for some time. After trying to find parking in the pouring rain to only find a vacant shop we were not at all impressed. Then to read reviews after the event to say other people had the same experience is really disappointing. Open table please don’t take anymore bookings as the restaurant no longer exists..

IT’S CLOSED DOWN!! Travelling from Sydney and made booking to pre-plan for a Saturday evening for a table of three. Even received confirmation notification the day before but looks like it has been closed for a while. Left us scrambling to find a table available at an opened restaurant. Shocking

I have rated the Cinnabar restaurant poor but this rating is for OpenTable. You guys should not exist. We drove 500kms to meet family at a restaurant which no longer existed and hadn't for a while. Why offer a service when it is out of date? My poor rating is for Open Table. Absolute BS service.

The restaurant was not open when we arrived for our reservation and the phone number was disconnected. Horrible experience, would not recommend to anyone else.

This restaurant is quite under-rated for its quality. The food is always impeccable, and unique. The host is always friendly and attentive. The ambience is that of a fine dining restaurant but the cost is very fair. We hope it continues to do well - it also serves a nice Yum Cha/Dim Sum menu. Best bbq pork buns I’ve had at any Australian restaurant.

We were celebrating a birthday yesterday and have visited for casual dining previously. We’ve always been very impressed with the service and food. Never disappoints. Would highly recommend.
