Sinn's Winter Specials

Sinn's Restaurant in Wembley Square, Gardens, has launched it's Winter Specials menu. Being suckers for fine dining at a reasonable price (especially when Sinn's is involved), my partner and I set off on a stormy Thursday night to experience it.
Sinn's Winter Specials

We arrived shortly after 7pm and were welcomed by the host, who seated us at an intimately located table. Our waiter for the evening, Dylan, informed us about what the Winter Special entails. Sinn's has put together a three-course meal, paired with a glass of wine, for the very reasonable price of R150 per person.

A glass each of house-blend Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon was recommended by Dylan, which was deeply aromatic and had pleasant woody undertones. Starters consisted of the butternut and cumin soup for my partner, and the fishcake with potato chive salad for me. The soup was warm, creamy and tasty, whilst mine was just delectable - the perfect start to a great evening.

With a warm buzz now emanating (from the wine, I suspect), we then ordered our main course - the sliced duck on curried lentils served with two duck Spring rolls for me and grilled silverfish on a bed of mushroom risotto for my partner. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and the size of the portions was spot on - not too much to give that feeling of over-indulgence and not too small to leave one still hungry. We were very impressed.

The evening ended with both us choosing the delightful specials' dessert - Tiramisu served with a dollop of ice cream, a caramelised pear and an assortment of gooseberries and strawberries. A sweet, tasty finish to a wonderful evening at Sinn's Restaurant.

I can personally recommend Sinn's to all - not only for the amazing special, but also because the service throughout the entire evening was above par. 9/10.
