Black Barra Bar & Café — Restaurant in Queensland

We went there for our Valentine’s Day date, we booked almost one week in advance. It was very busy that night. We ordered some cocktails as an appetiser and we waited 1 hour and half to get it. And still no one to take our food’s order. After 2hours and half there, our entrées finally arrived. The entrées were good and well presented. We were the last ones in the restaurant. We thought the mains, which we ordered in the same time as the starters will be coming straightaway after, but the waitstaff was already cleaning up the kitchen and tidied up the place. I went to ask if the mains were on their way, but I’ve been told that they did a mistake with our order. We decided to take the bill and leave at 10pm. We had 3 cocktails each and one starter each.

We highly recommend this place and it gives the other fine dining restaurants in Townsville a good run for...

The Valentine day dinner turned out to be quite disappointing. The restaurant seemed to have ambitious goals, but unfortunately, it fell short in a few key areas. For starters, there were too many tables and not enough staff to manage them all effectively. As a result, the service was unprofessional and inconsistent. To make matters worse, the prices were quite high for the quality of food and service that was being offered.

However, despite these shortcomings, I could see that there was a lot of potential for this diner to improve. With a better cooking team and more staff to manage the tables, I believe this restaurant could turn things around and offer a much better dining experience for...
