Cinder Restaurant

Wow!! The place we intended to eat at was closed and OMG we ended up at Cinder. What a treat of lovely food!! Delicious flavors, unique dishes and a happy friendly atmosphere. Great gluten free options, vegan and most delicious tender meat dishes. Highly recommend.

My wife and I grabbed some takeout from here for the first time and we're quite let down. We got smoked chicken (tacos), banh mi (tacos), pork belly fried rice, and home fries. The banh mi tacos were great, pricey for the small portions (along with the fact that we got the gluten free corn tortillas so without the naan it was probably less) but overall delicious tacos. The smoked chicken was fine but wasn't worth the price as again the portion was quite small. The real let down came when we had gotten to the pork belly fried rice. The pork belly on top of the dish was amazingly cooked, tasty, but leaving both of us disappointed in the fact there was so little of it. The fried rice beneath was terrible. We couldn't tell if it was under cooked or just old, but either way it was just above room temperature, we didn't take but a few bites from it in total. It didn't taste like fried rice and for a portion titled as "large plate" we were disappointed in the single person serving that we received. The home fries were fine. It's a neat place that I'm sure in summer is a fun stop off for dinner by the water, but if the takeout experience is anything like dining in, it's not worth the price to portions and for the price most of the food will be only fine or disappointing.
