Cons:

• "I have good memories from other Cinnamon Kitchens and Bazaars, but this one seems quite dialled in later."
• "The restaurant itself isn't that well laid out. The air ventilation system is very strong and so spent most of lunch in a draft."
• "We were here on Sunday 22nd celebrating a special 65th birthday. The overall experience was basic."
• "The restaurant was half empty. Service was slow and inattentive."
• "Very poor service, food was average, dirty toilets. It was like being in a budget restaurant for a premium price."
