Grill’d Chermside

After a rather mixed first dining experience in February for my birthday, my partner and I decided to give Criniti's another try over the Easter long weekend, and I’m so glad we did! I won’t go into the details of our first visit, but our second experience was truly one of the best dining outings I've ever had! The waitstaff were courteous and attentive, and they even offered complimentary drinks when some of our dishes took longer to prepare than anticipated. The food was not only delicious but also served in generous portions. A special shoutout to Cara for her exceptional care; after hearing about our previous experience, she surprised me with a complimentary take-home dessert adorned with a lovely note. That has never happened to me before! Criniti's certainly redeemed themselves, and I will absolutely be returning!

I would rate this restaurant 5 stars, but the prices are a bit excessive. Charging $10 for an iced latte is absurd, and $5.90 for a small flat white isn't much better. These prices would be justifiable if the coffee was exceptional, but it fell short of that mark. The food is also pricey, with a light serving of veggie risotto costing $34. While it was good, it wasn't memorable enough to rave about. On a positive note, the decor is lovely, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, we were the only customers there, so you would expect good service.

I recently visited Criniti's Greek Restaurant, where the SketchMyEvent artist was performing. The food was excellent, and the city views were truly spectacular. It can get quite busy, so be sure to make a reservation for your table!

Decor and atmosphere was nicely laid back and appropriately Italian bar like themed. The food was excellent, well presented and typically Italian large portions. The pizza I had was really quite traditional and tasted as good as you would get in Italy. We will be back again. Suitable for a any size meal or just simply drinks and snacks.

The food is amazing! I ordered the pumpkin pasta and the flavour was perfect. I only ordered the entree size and I could barely eat it all because there was so much food. The rest of my table ordered various pastas and burgers, they all looked amazing and were reported as tasty. The restaurant was empty for lunch which made us think perhaps we'd made a bad decision. The food took a little while to come out, but was well worth the wait. Would highly recommend.
