I had dinner at Sinn’s on 8th Feb 2013. What a delicious experience. The bread that they give you on the house is so tasty. I had a salmon dish with wasabi mash that was scrumptious; the only disappointment was that the mash tasted like normal mash, and not wasabi mash. For dessert I had the trio of sorbet which was very refreshing and tasted like fresh fruit. The service was excellent. If I lived in CT, I would pay more visits to the establishment, as there were many other tempting menu choices.

We had dinner at Sinns last night for the first time and we absolutely adored the food. Everything from the starter to dessert was delicious. I will definitely go back and recommend it as well.

I've been to Sinns for the past few years and have always had excellent service and excellent food each and every time. I dream about their steaks, pork belly and the most creamy/dreamy mashed potatoes. This is also one of the few restaurants that have a covered smoking section/ so i don't have to sit in the cold outside. I have and will continue recommending this restaurant. Only thing I would change is asking them to open on a Sunday so I can have Sunday lunch there.

“My goal is to bring good food and a great experience at affordable prices to both locals and tourists alike. Gastronomy is an inspiring art, and the driving force behind the Sinn’s enterprise,” says Thomas Sinn, owner and Chef of Sinn’s Restaurant. Well, you failed! The food was awful, the experience made even worse by your sheer lack of customer care and business etiquette. I have visited your establishment for years. it was a favorite among my group of friends. I will definitely not be back, and I'll make sure to alert everyone i know.

The setting
I have long been a fan of Sinn’s, ever since I stumbled happily upon their terribly delicious bouillabaisse (best EVER!) a few years back. I am not big on in-mall dining, so I was glad this time to be seated in the glassed-off restaurant area, rather than in the middle of admittedly very vibey Wembley Square. (Actually, Wembley Square is more of a food court than a mall.)

The food
We reviewed five courses of the 2010 Winter Menu, paired with Excelsior wines.  Check out the gallery.

In short? The wild mushroom risotto was seriously good, the paella a little too al dente for my taste, while the pecorino chicken, served with a butternut lasagne and light Gorgonzola sauce was the highlight of the evening. I made the rookie error of gobbling down the entire tasting portion, which left me unable to fully appreciate either the springbok pie or Karan sirloin, both of which were delicious.

The wine
We had the pleasure of sitting next to the winemaker and his wife, which was a great bonus when it came to discussing the pairings. Cathy, our wine editor, tells me that Excelsior, a family-owned winery, is known for its good-value restaurant favourites, with uncomplicated, straight forward flavours. After sampling their 2009 Paddock Viognier and their 2009 Chardonnay, I have to say that I agree with her.

Their reserve range is also very palatable and their Viognier is probably the best-value one around. Uncomplicated, straightforward flavours which do exactly what they say on the tin!

Price range
I think Sinn’s deserves a goal for this 2010 Winter special: R95 will get you any one of these 5 dishes, paired with a glass of wine. Not bad, methinks.

Perfect for
A nice mid-week dinner for two before you head back to the suburbs, and possibly, if you’re good, as a treat after gymming upstairs.
