    Cincin was a little disappointing. I went back there because it had seemed really delicious just a month ago. However, this time the menu seemed a little samey with parsnips with almost everything. Nevertheless my choice was delicious venison. Dessert was great although I expected more tang from the rhubarb garnish. The bread as a starter is the yummiest bread in Auckland. The staff are really attentive while not being intrusive. My only criticism would be that as in many restaurants the waitress who sat us gave us the menus but went away wihtout explaining what the dish of the day was. How can one make decisions when the menu is not explained?
