Very expensive for a buffet. An a la carte option or choice of different price points would have been better. The variety of food was fabulous, service was average.

I did not like the dirty salt and pepper grinders on our table. I asked them to be removed. Also, a bowl given for shells was brownish and looked dirty too. Poor service by waitresses. We had to ask a few times to top up our glasses with tap water. One time we had to do it ourselves, because we could not get anyone to bring us a tap water jar. :(

Thoroughly enjoyed the mid-week visit with less congestion in the Executive Lounge. Plus getting an upgrade in the room was another very pleasant surprise. The restaurant is always a bust place but was not concerned about the noise levels. I love the seafood that is always on offer in Melba. I've stayed at the hotel for many years and always have found the Langham/Sheraton an excellent place to stay.

Went with family for lunch buffet. Great fresh sashimi, but could not take it ourselves, must ask, the amount is strictly limited per each request/plate (for example 4 small slices of tuna and 2 small slices of eel), so need to walk back and forth to get more, this feels not quite like a buffet. There was a nice and fresh tempura, but again could not take ourselves, must ask, it was limited to 1 per each request, then it was finished in about half an hour and not replenished. This also does not feel quite like a buffet that match the charge of $108 per person. Only few selection of dessert cakes and just 2 flavours of ice cream (vanilla and creamy strawberry, not the sorbet type). This seems quite a lack of quality and options on the dessert section. Overall, it's not bad. But I don't think it's a venua that I would choose again next time.

Food was good, but the service was lacking. Had the wave down staff to get service. They could definitely made more money in drinks if they bothered to find out if we wanted a refill of wine.

The staff and service waiters were excellent in taking off the plates from the table during buffet service. I think the table was bit more smaller than my liking and the brand associated with the restaurant. The reason for my rating is that I was disappointed due to less number of options in the mains. Appetizers and deserts were awesome. There could be more breads and bit less of Indian (though i am Indian) and more of other main dishes. I am comparing it with my buffet at Steigenberger Hotel and they were truly international in their cuisine with variety. I think Langham/Melba can offer more being in the center of the most liveable city. And hey I Loved the duck wrap. keep that up!!!
