Croydon Lane Wine & Tapas Bar — Restaurant in Sydney

This is a hard one. The staff were exceptional! The cocktails fabulous and the wine selection, even thought short, still had everything we liked. 😍😍😍 So 5/5 The food however..... was just OK. The shared platter was delicious except for the paella balls which were really taseless and dry. The braised beef was delicious but for $28 it was literally 2 spoons of meat on some mashed parsnip.i get that it's tapes but that was smaller than an entree. And lastly and most disappointing was the Valencia paella. It was wet rice with 3 pieces of chicken, 2 sausages, 2 peeled prawns ( they should be whole in a peella🦐🦐) and 1 piece of octopus... what happened to the muscles? The tiramisu was nice but crunchy... that's definitely a first. They did have a function on that night and maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed but I guess I can only review my experience from the night. So 2/5

We had our intimate wedding reception at Croydon Lane and honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Dale and the whole team were absolutely fantastic - so helpful from the moment we booked. They let us decorate their private room however we wanted, which was perfect for making it feel personal and special.

The food was incredible - seriously some of the best we've had. And the staff on the night couldn't do enough for us. Every time we needed something, they were right there with a smile. The music was spot on too - really made the night come alive and got everyone dancing.

If you're thinking about having a party or event here, I'd definitely recommend it. Great food, lovely staff, and they really know how to look after you. We had such a brilliant night and our guests are still talking about it!

Thanks again to Dale and the team for making our...

Went there on a Friday night. Really loud love music if you’re into that sort of atmosphere. Personally though found it to be a bit too loud and distracting given that the venue offers a sit down dining option. The noisy music would’ve been more suited if it was a bar and club, but there was no dance floor.

The food portions on offer is bulimic to say the least. You’re paying nearly $20 for literally 4 pieces of mushroom… each ‘tapas’ is around $5 for a bite. Left the place feeling hungry.

The only saving grace of this place was the cocktail options. There’s around 12 different cocktail options and a few were quite unique.

Would recommend people to come here if they’re just after some cocktails. Or perhaps if you want to take a date somewhere that you won’t be talking too much. (Since the loud music will ensure you fail to hear what is being clearly unless...
