All dishes are served as share plates, though it would be helpful if the menu distinguished between smaller share plates (starters) and larger ones (mains). The food is well-prepared and flavorful. I would rate it a 4.5 out of 5, but since it's not quite a perfect 5, I'll settle on a 4-star rating. The beer selection is intriguing, especially the Belgian options. The flavors have a quality reminiscent of elevated home cooking. However, the duck mousse was slightly over-set—perhaps a bit too much pectin or another setting agent was used. The beef cheeks could benefit from a splash of red wine to enhance their flavor. The beetroot salad was excellent, and the scallops were delicious. Everything, aside from the beef cheeks, could use a touch more seasoning. Overall, it's a solid dining experience, although it does feel a little overpriced, perhaps by about 15%.

Fantastic service! The staff at Cinnabar took excellent care of us, even dividing our cocktail into two glasses so we could share. The food was outstanding. We... read more Fantastic service! The staff at Cinnabar took excellent care of us, even dividing our cocktail into two glasses so we could share. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed the duck liver pâté, Ethiopian chicken, beef cheeks, and sides of potatoes and pearl barley. The chicken was the highlight of the meal! We would have loved to try dessert, but we were too full from the generous portions of the main dishes and sides. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Cinnabar!
