We were visiting Launceston and trying to find some good food on a Sunday night, which actually seemed quite difficult unless we spent a lot of money. Luckily, Bakers Lane provided the goods. We got 3 share plates and 2 sides between the 2 of us, and every bite was amazing. The ceviche, calamari and beef were delicious and it was a good amount of food for just under $60. The service was pretty bad though. Started off fine, it was a quiet Sunday and I think we were the only people in there actually eating, so the food was quick, but the 2 staff members just ignored us once the food was out and chatted at the bar. After we had finished the plates sat there for about half an hour without them being cleared, and our table was right in front of the bar. I even stacked up the empty plates to try and make it obvious we had finished, but nothing. I was waiting for them to be cleared so I could order desert, but when it was clear no one was coming, we went up to the bar. We were told the kitchen closed early half an hour ago as it was quiet. So while I was waiting for service, then. It would have been nice to go around and see if we wanted anything else first, seeing as we were the only table the needed to ask, but we left disappointed. Mostly because the food was so good we knew we were probably missing out on some amazing dessert. Stop talking to each other and keep at least an eye on your customers. The kitchen did a great job but it needs to be backed up by the front.
