    Horrible experience, sat down and was given almost no time to order. They were rushing us to decide because of a mix up with bookings. Ruined our whole night.

    I wouldn’t say the venue had any ambience. The service was average at best. For my meal I had the buffalo chicken ones with red dragon sauce. They were overcooked and very salty. The prawns. We chilli and garlic butter prawns 3 Prawns for $24.90 not overly large overpriced and the prawns were off. It was only after complaining several times they were taken off our bill. The Venue has a lot of hills decline very disappointing. It was my wife’s birthday and there was very little to celebrate. Would not recommend this venue.

    Hi Ray, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry that your experience wasn’t up to our usual standards. We want to clarify that our manager personally addressed your concerns about the prawns, removing them from the bill right away after hearing your feedback. He also checked in with your table regarding the rest of the meal and drinks, and we were happy to hear that your wife enjoyed the food and cocktails—ordering two rounds, in fact! While we always appreciate constructive feedback and strive to improve, we kindly ask that reviews reflect the overall experience fairly. Kind regards, Backlane Bar and street food

    Booked a table for 12 on a Thursday night for a birthday celebration, service from staff was excellent, very helpful when I had to add an extra person and accommodating when we brought our own birthday cake. Food was brought out fast and the variety of dishes, fish tacos, bao buns, prawns, dumplings etc that we selected were great. The sea scallops were a nice size, plump and tender, everyone had a great time and would come again. To top it off we had the churros for dessert. It was a nice and quiet spot with inside and outside seating. Thanks to all the staff at Backlane Bar & street food for an enjoyable night.

We're thrilled to hear that everything from the service to the food (and of course, those churros!) made for an enjoyable evening. It was a pleasure to have your group, and we’re glad we could help make the night special. We look forward to welcoming you all back again soon! Kind regards, Backlane Bar and street food
