Aria Bar & Lounge

great service, but I did feel the scones were not as fresh as I have experienced previously at Langham and the price had changed from when I booked so that was a little surprise when the bill arrived.

Fantastic food. Blissful beverages. Amazing atmosphere. Heartfelt harping. Wonderful waiters.

Food was lovely, atmosphere great until 50 people came and stood at the bar and were nudging me in the head with their elbows while I was trying to eat. Service was slow and we had to attract the attention of the waiter several times. I don’t feel like I ate $95 worth of food and drink. Had to wait for drinks, service, bill etc. Very noisy towards the end, could not hear my friend talking to me so left early, would have liked to stay longer and have a drink.

Very disappointed actually, tea was cold coffee was cold. Service was OK but not great. Not enough food for the amount of money paid, there were plenty of sweets but as far as sandwiches and savoury very poor.

Wonderful place for high tea with generous food servings beautifully presented.

Excellent high tea. Enjoyed it with my friends. Beautiful xmas selection.

It was nice. We were a bit lost as to how it all worked as no one came to see our table until 40 minutes after we sat down. Very busy on a Saturday.

Excellent service and beautiful food presented festively for Christmas. Highly recommend

Unfortunately it was not our best experience at Aria. We have been many times before and celebrated family birthdays/Xmas. The chocolate bar was fantastic but the savory food was just ok. The service was terrible and was very disappointing for such an amazing hotel. We had to ask numerous times for drink/tea/coffee etc. I doubt that we would consider returning again and risk the same experience when there are so many other options in Melbourne.

A few things: - sandwiches were going dry, clearly prepared much earlier in the day - all food delivered at the same time so scones are cold by the time we got to them - a clean set of cutlery and plates would be nice - staff need to circulate a bit more

Celebrated my birthday at the Aria with friends and family, an all girl affair. Pure luxury, Wedgwood China. Delicious savouries and sweets. Wait staff were approachable and friendly, the venue was beautifully decorated for the festive season, bonus! Highly recommended.

Amazing choc high tea, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Would return.

We had a lovely day at the Aria lounge. We sat for an 11.30 Chocolate High Tea. The setting was beautiful, lovely music playing, decadent chocolate minis on display however it would have been a little nicer if we could have received a little more table service attention. For the cost, I would have thought staff might have been a little more attentive towards table needs. The chocolate high tea is very sweet, the extra serving of savouries came just at the right time, would have liked a little more to help even out the sweet.

Absolutely amazing Had a wonderful time Service was amazing Food was great

Very enjoyable. Would recommend to my friends. Christmas decorations were outstanding.

It was very good value for money the food and service was excellent!!!

It was a family birthday celebration and we all enjoyed it- the food, the setting and the staff were all very helpful. Thank you for helping to make my day special!

An excellent experience. Staff friendly, courteous and helpful. Food delicious. Perhaps there could be an option to have more savoury and less sweet food.

The decor, the comfortable seating, Wedgewood settings, food, teas, waiting staff were all of exceptional quality. We were looked after with excellent service and it was just what we expected.

Arrived at 11:00 am for an 11:30 High tea . Not seated until after 12. Then waitress tipped 6 glasses of sparkling wine down my friends back. At first she was only offered service tries to dry herself, until we asked for a hairdryer as no hand dryer in the toilets. Then a loose stud on the table got hooked on another friends necklace which broke. At this stage it’s 12:30 and everyone else is eating except for our group of 12. Food wasn’t great have had better high teas. Service not good . Decidedly understaffed. Not worth the money.

High Tea at the Langham was fantastic, everything presented beautifully and tasted amazing.

Table service was quite pathetic to be honest. Paid for free flowing champagne and not once did anyone come to the table to top up or offer any six people drinks, had to get up and walk to bar or hunt down a waitress anytime we wanted something. Basically paid $500 to sit at a table and eat some sandwiches and scones, over priced for poor service. I am disappointed at this experience. Girl on violin was so loud near our table it was hard to hear each other.

Lovely high tea, beautiful setting and ambience. Sitting was at 11.30, didn’t get any savoury food until 12 due to one guest with dietary requirements that they were aware of. Table could have been cleared of used plates and glasses more frequently, but overall food was amazing and company of my best friends made it a lovely couple of hours.

Food was delicious. Service was very slow, had to go and find an attendant to get some more tea. Very slow to clear table too.

Lovely food, savoury and sweet. Could have more savoury and less sweet food but all delicious :)

For the price you pay I was expecting better. The sandwiches were stale and the fillings were not very nice, the hot food was not very hot and was disappointing. We were left waiting for a while for our food/drinks to come out and were told we had to leave before we even finished our coffees . I understand that they have session times but if you have to wait, why should you be rushed. The dessert bar was nice, but being pregnant there was not a lot I could have as not everything was labelled correctly. I'm not sure weather I would go back, as this was my baby shower I was left a bit disappointed

My favourite location for afternoon tea! Excellent service and excellent food!

Natalia was very professional and attentive. I will be returning.

Overall, a great day. Food was good, service was good. The same could not be said about other patrons participating in the same high tea. Guests attempting to push in the line, and then making loud snide comments and throwing looks to people who very clearly in the line before them. However this is not a reflection of the Langham and I had a good time despite that nastiness

Fantastic place for high tea. We have been before and will definitely be back!

I came with my daughter & her 2 bestest friends just before her 13th birthday in place of a birthday party.. It was their very first High Tea experience and quite frankly it blew their minds! Not sure how we are ever going to top this Birthday in the future 🙄😁 Many thanks to all the staff that made 3 little & 1 big girl feel very special ❤️

Average not worth the price paid for service was not great either

Couldn’t ask for more. Lovely plentiful food and atmosphere! Great!

great service from the staff members! nice atmosphere as well

Our experience was way above our expectations. We would thoroughly recommend Aria Bar and lounge for High Tea. My mother in laws 80th birthday surprise in her words - She has never had or been treated to anywhere like it. Thank you.

I pre-booked and on arriving the table was not set up. There were food crumbs all over the seat. Overall the service was slow. We were half way through eating the sweets selection and i had to ask for our tea's to be given/served. The plates and cutlery weren't changed through out the entire service, which after savory dishes and leading onto the sweets, you think they would have been. When starting the savory selection we were,n't given desert spoons so in the end we all used our tea spoons! Having heard about how great the High Tea at the Langham is a i was left disappointed. For a 4.5 star rated hotel the high tea was more of a 3 star.

Beautiful food, lovely presentation. Stunning venue. Ideal for special treat.

Beautiful place in every way the hospitality, food surroundings and wonderful staff

Overall, the experience was really disappointing. Would not come back.

The mood music was too loud. We had to ask for tea and coffee. We felt it didnt live up to our other visits there. We had to ask for service rather than the usual attention given to your guests from the staff.
