A night to remember....

Don't you just love dining with good friends? We had the opportunity late last year to trial dinner at at Cinco on Cleveland Road, Camp Hill with some very special friends who were visiting.It may be in the midst of suburbia but this restaurant can hold it's own against the city restaurants.  We were not unhappy!

One of our party of 4, Reece, is a chef.  I can vouch for his cooking skills because he and his family lived with us a long time ago and we all looked forward to the nights he was on dinner! For me it was a good time to not have to think about the cooking but I also loved watching him at work. Now, whenever I can, which is rarely because we don't live close anymore, I love nothing better than to jump in and stir, slice or be his lackey to make a feast for friends and family.

There is always a little pressure when you take a chef out to make sure that what is served up will thrill his tastebuds and meet his stylistic standards! Cinco thankfully satisfied all four of us.  We all enjoyed each mouthful of our dinner, the service was exceptional with a waiter who knew the menu inside out - we do all like to ask questions about what we are eating, and a good wine menu.

I hadn't done any research into this restaurant, it had been a recommendation and I had been gifted a voucher to dine here so I feel like a winner. I had thought this was an Italian restaurant (after all there is a pizzeria next door - Piccolo Pizza) however I think it is best described as Australian fusion.  All the best fresh local ingredients with global ideas.

The menu has changed a little since we went and I can't remember the exact dishes we had but the pictures all still remind me of a lovely evening dining out.
