Criniti's - Brighton-Le-Sands

We missed 2 dishes and it’s a long wait, the table comes after us get their food and we still didn’t and staffs couldn’t do anything about it.

Great food and dining experience! Will definitely go back to this resto. 😄

Even though I had already reserved a table PRIOR tonthe day on arrival no table was prepared, when asked where i would prefer,, I requested if upstairs was an option as there was thunder forecast and wanted a view of Brighton because it was for birthday, I was advised its out of service for the year, however when we were leaving somehow it was open and people being seated. Never the less chose to sit outside as there was umbrellas and inside was small , it started sprinkling which was fine at first because even though we were a table of 7 we made it work so we don't inconvenience the staff but 4pple come and they don't want to wet a staff member/manager i don't know decided to move shake and rearrange the umbrella and couldn't even care if others were get wet, have crap fall on their food nothing, will def never go their again esp not for a special.occassion. however the food was nice.

The food was very delicious and everything was good .

A very disappointing experience ,we got there at 5:00 p.m. they wanted us out by 6:30 it was so rushed, taken to our table far back corner for six people ,waited a little while for our food when our entrees came out , 5 minutes in to our entree our main meal came out before we even finished our entrees, we had to send it back because there was no room to put this on the table, I will never go there again, was very disappointing , was not worth the money . That is not an Italian restaurant ,Italian restaurant is good food this was not good food . This has to be the worst restaurant I've ever experience,😡😡😡

The food was delicious. It was quite noisy. Did not like where we were seated. The service was quick.

Great food and service. Definitely filling and the restaurant had a good atmosphere

Really nice food and great service - will return for sure!

Food was excellent and service from Christian (Brighton, NSW) was fantastic!

Delicious food and attentive staff, prices are reasonable. Will go again.

Food was good, service very quick on a busy day.

For a very busy Christmas lunchtime the service was excellent and the food was really great ... Huge portions!!!

Great food and great view. Worth a visit. Service good.

great position food great and good value music a bit loud!

Criniti’s did not disappoint. It was my first visit and the food, service, ocean view and ambiance were great. Thoroughly recommend it although parking can be an issue.

Good service Food came quickly once ordered Pizza took too long

Wonderful staff. Great menu. Fabulous location. Great decor. Awesome food.

Wilfred was amazing!! He creates the best atmosphere and hospitality!!

i ate there with travellers from the UK, and we sat outside, it was really lovely, the staff were fantastic and it was a really enjoyable experience,

The staff were very efficient , the meals vame quickly.

The food was delicious, scenery was amazing. Service was okay.

Food was lovely but the service could be better. Did not like that my main meal was placed on the table while I was still eating my entree.

Great first time dining experience at Criniti’s. Fast service after ordering, best Pasta we’ve had in a long time. Good Wine list. Sumptuous fried dessert. Looking forward to next time 👍🏻

Good quality and service was good but a bit expensive

Food lacked soul, Frank Sinatra was bland and oily. Sirloin steak tasted pan fried. Had to repeatedly ask where our ordered drinks were as after 20+mins nothing arrived. Finally we ordered the Joey Bananas Crespelle for dessert and after 35 mins it hadn't arrived, we asked where it was and they brought out an Originale Crespelle instead. When we queried this it was taken back but then waiter returned with it advising the kitchen said it was the Joey. When them read out the dessert from the menu which the waiter then acknowledged it was a completely different dessert we had. Correct dessert reordered and brought some 15mins later. Food, service and experience not up to previous experiences and very disappointing

The waiter was very friendly. The food was average and overpriced.

Good atmosphere and amazing food so many options thank you

We got served our entree and no drinks came out with it and we had to ask for our drinks like half way into eating it. And we ordered thick shakes and it was not thick shakes we got. I got mine replaced and the second one still wasn’t a thick shake. Very under staffed for a really busy restaurant which is a nice place to sit by the place and eat. Bit disappointed on the shakes. Friendly staff. But very under staffed for a busy Friday night

The food was good. if only I had the upstairs table, it would be a nice atmosphere.

Good service considering they were under staff, food came out quick. Pizza was really nice Pasta for the price not the best, referring to the spaghetti bolognaise. Regarding the booking when I phoned I ask to be seated outside and was told that by the reservation team member the they can only put a request in but not guarantee the outside seating. Which I found very odd as isn’t that the reason for booking. Because I had kids coming to dinner as there was 14 of us I really wanted outside as I knew the kids would get restless and that way they could play on the sand as I was booking at the Brighton Le sands site. So I didn’t book and went to the restaurant and spoke to the manager on duty and explained the reason for wanted to book outside and was willing to leave a deposit to secure the outside seating, but to my amaze he said sorry he couldn’t take a deposit to secure outside as it all depended on the nights bookings which again I found quite odd. So I left and didn’t book. After speaking with my friends I booked and then on the day I went down during lunch and spoke with the manger and explained I had a booking, for the evening and wanted to leave a deposit to secure outside and confirm that we were ping for dinner. After all the communication trying to secure outside seating the manager said that’s fine we will seat you out side. It was just frustrating that I had to go through all that to secure the out side seating I understand that they were worried if we didn’t show up but that’s why I was willing. To leave a deposit. So maybe implement a system that customers can book outside by leaving a deposit and if they don’t show all cancel they lose the deposit and it covers your set up cost to live a few tables around. Thank you

It was an amazing experience, as always. The food was delicious, the service was prompt, and the ambiance was delightful.

The food was excellent and our waiter, Dipesh, was very friendly and helpful.

Staff were run off their feet, but took on more than could be handled. Our mains came before our entrees. My side salad never came but was on the bill. I really like it there but probably not on eventful days

Staff run off their feet. Missing meals, average, slow, expensive

Had booked but only seat available was outside. Had to wait along time for order to be taken. Food was served but we had no cutlery. Wait staff never checked on us, always had to get a wait staffs attention. Placed dessert order and was told 15 mins later it was not available but was still charged for it. Very disappointing experience. Will not rush to go back. Not enough wait staff working.

Food was fantastic, staff were amazing, highly recommend, will be back again

I had previously been to Criniti's and both the food and service were great - Since the arrival of Criniti's in the area (Sutherland Shire area) I have been wanting to try - This was my wife and best friends joint birthday dinner and we found the service a little disappointing - Food quality was great but overall over priced for the experience we encountered.

Great service very friendly staff and the food was delicious

I have been going to this particular location over years always been nice, however this time round service was not the best and the food was cold. it seemed like they did not want to serve us considering their was 12 of us and we paid a huge bill. The seafood platter was disgusting. It was burnt the octopus on the skewer was burn to the point we cold not take it off the skewer. Never going back.

Everything about this visit was horrendous. From service to food... No one attended us and when we tried to catch their attention, they would simply make eye contact and walk away. No water, nothing. We had to ask multiple times.

Barbecue chicken was not nice paid $8 for mash potatoes which they did not have have not received a refund

Food was excellent, service out of this world. Good family atmosphere.

Beautiful location Great food. We ordered a pizza and it was delicious! The drinks were also a good size. Good price!

They gave great service and was really efficient. Food came out so quickly.

Food was ok. Pretty bland but ok. Wouldn’t go back put it that way. Entrees are as big as main dishes you’ve been warned. The mains came out with entrees so the mains were stone cold by the time we go to eat them.

Everyone at the table ordered different things and we all loved it. Delicious!

$20 lunch special is great value for money. Food was delicious! Lovely presentation.

The staff were friendly & very helpful. The food was amazing & the portions were very generous. Definitely be coming back

Loved the food and the service 😀 Will be back!!

We had a nice dining experience. The air conditioning was a little bit cold though.
