Melba Restaurant

Great food and great staff. Overall great experience. Not much more to say. GREAT!!!

Great service and fresh buffet. Nice selection of foods from around the world

Good Food, View, Service, Will come back again. Nice experience

Upon arrival, the waiter in charge could not find my booking. Waiting for ages whilst he flicked through his iPad. I told him, I could go look around because my other dining companions had already arrived and I was late - which seemed to have made a big difference to being able to find my table/friends. But he never asked me anything other than what my name was when I arrived?! We were served by a large asian gentleman who was nothing but intrusive throughout our entire meal. He'd fill our water glasses up, if only by 1cm every so often leaning right across everyone and breaking conversation every time! We got up to get dessert and he rushed over to us with the bill!!!! Really, why?? When it came time for the bill, I gestured for him to give it to me (it was my treat) and he just placed it in front of my guests on the other side of the table. Customer service I would give 0/0 for an establishment which should pride themselves on customer service. Now to the food - it was good. However nothing special. All of the spoons, tongs other servicing utensils needed to be cleaned/replaced throughout the dinner service as some were greasy and messy from being put back into the food dishes - this needs smartening up!! Dessert was misleading, it looked like there were so many sweets to choose from, however upon further inspection, there was ice cream (and again the ice cream scoops were covered in sticky melted ice cream - yuk!), sticky date pudding, chocolate fountain and then approx. 6 small desserts in the refrigerated case and most of double quantities, so you thought there were more than there actually was. Disappointing. Won't go back.

Always love going there to dine, especially with family and friends. Lovely atmosphere and variety of dishes.

We were a party of 7 but one of our friends cancelled, Melba Restaurant were fine with that and quickly changed the table setting. We used the valet parking which was really handy as parking around the city during the day is pretty expensive (Melba charged $19 for 4 hour stay) the food is always freshly made to order!

It was exellent. Food was fresh and big variety. We can hardly move after eating so much. We got discount as hotel residents.

It was a 60th birthday and it was fantastic. The food was excellent, fresh and plenty of diverse options. The special touch of a cake for the birthday person was appreciated

Eaten here 4 times in the past and everytime its been amazing so brought my family who were here on holiday hoping to impress them but unfortunately for me the food on this occasion was very average and definitely not worth the money it costs

Melba is marvellous it’s very welcoming did enjoy the food especially the oysters. I would recommend to anyone

It was a lovely experience as always with great staff & food. Thank you

My first time here, noticed the prawns, crabs not fresh at all, perhaps been in the fridge too long. That is my honest truth. The service is great.

Was beautiful my birthday lunch!!! Seafood was so fresh~ Worth it 👍

Service was awesome. Food selection great and sashimi freshly cut

Went there on a public holiday, there were not too many people so we didn’t have to queue for too long for food. Food was great but desserts were average and fruits were not sweet.

Food was very nice Indian would have been better if they had a better variety beef vindaloo chicken tikka masala ect not just goat curry with bones and vegetarian curries

Thank you for a wonderful stay and breakfast. Staff and service were brilliant.

Loved the food, but was tempted to eat too much

Great food, classy atmosphere, and professional service. Always a pleasure to eat at Melba.

Nice buffet. Could have had for more salads. The desserts where lovely.

Lovely family lunch. All the staff were very friendly especially the chefs

very good value for money, selection isnt wide ranging but the quality is very good. Certainly quality over quantity

Service was great. Some of the food stations excellent whilst others were average. The ambience needs abit of a spruce up I would also encourage a smart dress code to pick up the standard.

Mark & dalmar were absolute legends made the dinner better with there service!

Great service but overall standard has dropped from previous visit

Some of the food wasn’t as hot as I would have liked, may have partly been due to cold plates. We ate fairly early and the restaurant was mostly empty which did impact on the atmosphere. Our table was overlooking the River and Melbourne skyline which was lovely. The service was exceptional

Overall the experience was fun and excellent customer service. Will be back again.

Really enjoyed the fantastic selection of the buffet and the food was fresh and plentiful. The service was excellent and all staff were friendly and polite. I took my 14 year old grandson and we both enjoyed the evening very much. Will definitely come again.

Love the personal touch prepared for special occasions Thank you

The choice and quality of the food was excellent. Crayfish mornay was yum.

Awesome food very very fresh seafood. If the varieties of food can be increased, that will make customers even happier.

Visited the restaurant for the first time. Enjoyed the quality of the food. Not much variety, but for Melba, it's about quality, not quantity.

Staff were attentive and the the male manager who greeted us was an absolute delight to speak to. He gave us a lovely surprise of complimentary chocolates after our meal for our anniversary. The fresh seafood and sashimi was great, though some of the hot food could do with some sophistication. Overall, oustanding customer service, fresh food and beautiful window views made our dining experience very enjoyable.

We went to Melba on recommendation for our 10th anniversary. Food was excellent, as was the selection and the service. I was disappointed by the cab sav which I ordered. But that might just be my taste. We enjoyed the occasion and Melba gets a big tick from us.

Great food and service. My partner got a complimentary small cupcake for his birthday.

GOOD PLACE TO HAVE A MEAL. EXCELLENT LOCATION. STAFF ARE NOT THAT HELPFUL

Took my son for his birthday lunch. Food was generally good except the salad and dessert selection did not have the “wow”” factor

It was good but not the place I would come visit again too expensive for what was served

Food was excellent and staff were friendly and professional .

Great service, nice variety of food, presentation was well layed out, a nice day out.
