Down The Lane

Hidden gem with a cozy atmosphere – loved the surprise of fairy lights and rustic design. Staff were very friendly. We tried several dishes: • Hawaiian Holiday Pizza – thin base, pineapple and fresh basil gave it a nice twist. • Seasonal Risotto – creamy with mushrooms, peas, and truffle, comforting and rich. • Chargrilled Scotch Fillet – juicy and tender, perfectly cooked with caramelised onions. • Slow-Cooked Pork Belly – soft, flavorful, balanced by crispy potatoes. Dessert: When I entered, I saw three versions of tiramisu in the display – one looked appetizing, one looked collapsed and unappetizing, and there was also a big glass container holding what seemed to be fresh tiramisu. I didn’t plan to order it, but my friend did, and unexpectedly we were served the unappetizing one. Eating it gave the impression that it wasn’t fresh, especially since newer and fresher-looking ones were clearly on display. I’d suggest more care with presentation, or simply not serving a portion if it doesn’t look right. It would be much better if only the fresh and appealing portions were served, as presentation really affects the dining experience. Overall, food was delicious, staff lovely, and atmosphere unique – just a little more care on dessert would make it 5 stars.

Very poor service. We visited on Wednesday night at 6:30pm. The outside courtyard is absolutely freezing and most of the heaters were not on. We did ask a few times and after about 45min someone finally turned on the one over our table. Something so simple that could have been done in a minute if this place was run properly. We waited over 1 hour for our food. We had to go inside and ask and we were told they lost our food order. We would have just left, but of course we had already paid with the QR code and waited so long. All the staff seem to be very young girls who have no basic training and no one managing the restaurant. Save yourself the trouble and just eat and a local pub.

The glass was filthy with mysterious flakes of grease—it was disgusting. I waited 40 minutes for the food after ordering, and only after asking the waitress about it did they realize the order had been lost. In the end, I had to wait an hour for mediocre food.

Shift into a relaxed vibe at DTL with delightful live music. The menu caters to all tastes with amazing pizza, pasta, and salads. Tempt yourself with their cocktail menu and save room for dessert! Friendly and engaging service.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Food was well presented and tasty. Also had gluten-free options. The mulled wine was deliciously warming. They have an amazing selection of Gins with a lot of Australian Gins available. Staff were friendly and well versed in what they had to offer. I love the hidden location and layout of the restaurant.

Had such a yummy dinner! We weren't sure where to go for dinner and we met Clarissa at Jimmy's when we ordered coffee (good coffee btw). She was able to point us to Down the Lane. Really impressed with the GF options. Great team and Clarissa is really friendly and helpful. The two teenagers where impressed with their meals. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Tasty and very satisfying. Thanks team. Would definitely come back if we came to Dubbo again.

Great spot in Dubbo. We came here for a midweek dinner, the staff were friendly, fast and very keen to ensure we had a good time. The arancini balls were a highlight!

Absolutely amazing service . The risotto 10/10 great flavours. Pizza was just as good . Baked Brie to die for .. overall wonderful meal
