The food was quite good but a little overpriced for the quality. The service was great to start with but once our waiter finished his shift, we were pretty much abandoned. Luckily we were not in a hurry anyway. The new decor was very comfortable and made the huge room feel cosy and not too noisy.

Staff were exceptional and fast to answer queries when needed regarding our voucher. Service was very quick and the food was great! Big servings with no downgrade on taste - my family were very happy to dine here for a birthday dinner!

happy experience, very friendly service, great taste, entrée PATE is deliciously crunch, seafood pasta has al dente texture with fresh mix, porchetta is cooked to standard but may can be shed some light from Chinese "crisp skin" pork.

Great venue, pleasant and attentive service, eager to please, 8 days young and on the right track, a mixture of Mediterranean, Italian and American cuisine. Rib-eye steak was over-seasoned but well cooked, medium rare. Fantastic Grilled Octopus ... coffee was too hot & milky, but good Sticky Pudding even with Caramel sauce. Well done guys!

Staff friendly and helpful. Ribs great, meat balls good, octopus overcooked and chewy and pork dry and edges chewy and unable to cut with a sharp knife. New restaurant so willing to give it another try with different meal choices.

Loved it, great wait staff, made to feel welcome. Best food, great servings, tasty Great seating, ambience. would have been 6 but a cold winter day the door should be closed and heaters on...... they really need to take note of this one big mistake, it was absolutely freezing with cold wind blowing in.

Friendly staff and excellent food quality - highly recommend Watch out for nearby parking bay around the corner from restaurant as we got parking fine from the council - it stinks from the council for booking after hour like this. It is our first time in this area. We didn't look closely enough for 1hr parking zone sign. Was getting dark when we got there 7pm.

Entree was served at the same time as our main - very odd. Meal was good value via Cudo deal. Salads accompanying main meals were uninspiring but eye fillet with mash and pepper sauce was very nice.

Reservation was an easy process. Brasserie had a fair range on the menu, service was excellent and food portions large and reasonable priced. Food came out in good time. The only negative is that it is noisy as the venue seems to be a converted warehouse of some sort and ceilings were very high. It was a bit difficult to find as signage not clear, but, overall, we had a positive experience at the Laneway Brasserie.

Don't usually give reviews but I just felt like I need to do it this time. For start, the place was hard to find, no signage display. I had to ring to get direction and realised that I had walked a few times passed the place. They were apologetic and explained that because it is a newly opened place, they were still waiting for the signage. I was not really fuss, at least I found the place, and have put that aside and believe its the food and service that will count. We were greeted and sat down. And from then onwards it's pretty much downhill from there. The waitress, with an attitude, came to our table, I explained that we were on a Cudo coupon deal and proceeded to order our 2 entrees and 4 mains and drinks. There were also 4 drinking water glasses on the table. Drinks were served by the same waitress but no bottle of water was offered - it was as if the drinking water glasses were there for display. Straight after the drinks were served 2 of our main meals, both steaks, were served. I should have questioned at that point and requested that entrees should be served before mains. But thought maybe they will served all dishes including the 2 remaining mains and 2 entrees at the same time. We waited for awhile and can see something was not right so got the same waitress over and she confessed that they made a mistake. Our steaks were meant to be for another table. She apologised and offered to take it back but we had already started eating so felt bad to have the meal taken back so accepted the meals as is. But the thing that gets me is why could she not approach us after realising the mistake. We got told after we called her over. My steak did not come with the requested mushroom sauce which I indicated to her and she said she will get that straight away. Pretty much 15mins have passed where she walked around serving other guests and have totally forgotten my requested mushroom sauce. I had to walk up to her and told her that I am still waiting for my mushroom sauce while my steak is getting cold by the minute. You'll think that after you made a mistake, you will try your best to make it up for the guest. Clearly that concept is non-existence to this waitress. She finally delivered the mushroom sauce but the damage have already been done. After eating our 2 steak mains and 2 entrees, our remaining 2 guests were still waiting for their mains. After another 15mins wait, we got hold of a waiter this time (we are not making the same mistake by getting this useless with an attitude waitress) to ask him about our remaining 2 mains. He was apologetic about the mistake but assured us that the remaining mains are on their way. The owner of the place came to clear our table and apologised about the mistake and offered us coffee afterwards. I truely believe his apologies were sincere and I would have wiped out our night's experience if they were more attentive and served us better for the remaining of the night. Of course this was not the case. After eating the remaining 2 mains, by this time the place was pretty much dead - only 2-4 tables of 2 guests left sitting around. Our table clearly had emptied plates and dirty cutleries, both the waitress and waiter walked passed our table as if we weren't there that night. The attitude waitress finally came over to take our dessert order (part of the Cudo deal). We just want to finish the dessert and leave - yes, that is how bad it was by that time. OVERALL: Service was bad, not sure if it is because we are on a Cudo deal or not. The waitress service, more like lack of it, was the biggest issue for us. She clearly had an attitude, not sure why our table. I don't want to play the racist card here but it appeared to us that she was more attentive and willing to serve other table of Caucasian guests. Food taste OK but not worth the price on the menu. It is a new place but clearly they need to get a few more people to better serve tables. Based on our experience last night and if this waitress that served us last night is the standard this place provides, then I would not be going back and would not recommend to anyone.

Great service, and very accommodating. Some of the dishes were divine - especially the gnocchi and the carbonara. Burgers were big but nothing out of the ordinary. Chorizos aren't spicy at all. Shame that, when I booked via Quandoo, the restaurant was still Bobo's Diner. No word at all that the restaurant would be closing shop. Very poor communication from Quandoo. They forgot one of our dishes but made it quickly.

Menu looked outstanding ie American style Diner, however atmosphere and service was anything but, meals were cold and came with 5 minute intervals, so we couldn't eat together. Was told that they had 1 chef and they were completely undermanned on the floorl. Simply an awful experience and wont be coming back

As expected at an American diner, serves were large and great value for money. Kids meals were brought out especially quickly which is always appreciated and there was plenty of room for the family to eat comfortably without disturbing anyone. Ribs & burgers very tasty too.

Great atmosphere, great service and lovely staff, but the burgers were too 'meaty' to taste any of the condiments or toppings. I'd try a different meal next time. If you love meat, this is is the place for you.

Our overall experience was pretty good. Great Service and the food was delicious! Nice to have Bobo's just around the corner. However, some more signage out the front would be as nice.

Unfortunately it was an excruciating experience for our Christmas party. We felt sorry for all the people who were working there, as they were clearly under resourced. We had to ask someone to take our order after about 20 minutes of no one attending to us. After another 20 minutes, we were told there was a problem with the drinks printer and we had to place our order again, so by the time we got our drinks it was one hour after arrival. Our meals arrived after 90 minutes from the time of ordering. It felt depressing seeing two young wait staff having to deal with the situation. It may be a while for most customers on this day to come back. The food itself was okay, but unfortunately the problems we experienced will be etched in our memory for a long time
