Melba Restaurant

Quality of the food and variety was okay. My expectations we high given the location but left fairly underwhelmed. Had to give it a go but in our opinion there are better places to go for that sort of money.

Food were very nice and plenty of choices. The atmosphere is very good. Overall for the price we paid, it is acceptable.

Food and service amazing. Stuffed but very happy with the overall experience.

was good, have been twice now and love it regardless

The staff were great. They came over at relevant times and assisted us with everything we needed. The food, unfortunately, wasn't as flavoursome as I expected. It was bland and unappetising. And the selection of sweets seemed limited, and certainly significantly reduced as compared to my past visits.

Best Buffet in Australia. I highly recommend it. It keeps getting better and better

Really enjoyable buffet, was very busy however food levels were kept high. Would recommended if you enjoy buffett

Melba is a restaurant that has a unique ambiance, with the decor being modern and comfortable. It’s an excellent place for tourists to enjoy the view of Melbourne, the Yarra river, the people in the boats and the daily buzz of our city. The buffet at Melba’s is one of the best in the world and the service is an exceptional one. Melba is an incredible experience and one that I would recommend to family and friends. I had my 30th Birthday at Melba’s and it was a memorable occasion.

The food is fresh, the staff are friendly and the environment is elegant.

Not much variety compared to other buffets. Lobsters did not have much lobster flavour. No one refilled our water or removed our food scraps for a long time. The atmosphere was nice and I highly recommend the sushi and crispy pork.

We were very disappointed with the entire evening it was to be a very special night and we were a little disappointed from the first contact understandable in this current health climate there are standards that have to be enforced but given the beautiful surrounds it was inappropriate to be herded up at the front door and given instructions as to how to act in the restaurant it was a bit off putting only to have people without their masks on walking around , also chipped crockery and the lack of service for drinks was also off putting we still enjoyed our night the food was very good but lack of any sort of dress standards was again disappointing thought we were in Darwin . Thank you though we had an enjoyable meal.

It was an very pleasant evening, Marg who was serving our table was very professional in her service and excellent attention to detail, well done we definitely come again 🥰

It was so nice going on a week day. It was quiet and the service was great.

Quite busy and very few people following covid safe protocols. Staff were doing their best but it was not being maintained.

Good spread of food though not as good as a few years ago. There’s a lot of variety in terms of seafood and sashimi though. Other hot foods are good but for what you pay there could be more options.

Food was good. Chairs are too big for tables making it hard to get in and out. Very noisy

brilliant, first time and really enjoyed the service and food

A delicious experience! The sashimi bar was a favourite with my group of friends along with the lobster and garlic cheese naan. $130 per person but we found that it was worth it. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful evening with friends, good choice of food and attentive staff

Overall the food was good. Thought would have more variety for a buffet.

Ate too much, food and wine were excellent! Staff were amazing!

Staff were friendly, the food was tasty...we'll definitely be back.

The food was delicious, staff were friendly, and overall it was a great experience

Amazing experience in a Covid safe way. Really Great food and service

Good environment and food so yummy. Nice staffs and good for gathering.

Seafood was very good with lots of option of Abalone , uni, octopus sashimi etc. I don’t recommend the hot food at all, it’s super dry. Only go there if you like seafood and sashimi

Went here for My fiancé’s birthday and the food quality was sooo good! They even arranged a cake for him for his birthday! Would come back again!

Two hours allocation time felt like a few things had to be rushed. It would be good if the time allocation was extended to allow people to relax and enjoy the time with their guests

Amazing ambience, food and service. Would recommend it to all

Great variety buffet. Always enough food for all although busy.

Food was okay. It was kept under the heating lamps for long periods due to less people dining. Lobster, for example was dry. Had to put a mask on every time we got up to get food and needed a staff member to serve us each time. The roast meats were nice as well as the sauces. The oysters were also top draw. We were given a nice little chocolate cake by the staff for our anniversary which was a nice touch. The dining chairs looked a little scratched and outdated. Overall, the restaurant tried their best during these tough times. If beer was included in the price, like some Asian buffets, I would definitely come back more regularly.

Very bad service. Not up to the Melba standards. P

Service and quality of food are excellent. I would love to recommend the Melba restaurant for entertaining or special occasions.

Food, staff, atmosphere....amazing experience across the board. Will be back

We just loved the food & the atmosphere! It was perfect place to celebrate our anniversary!

Delicious food with great variety, excellent service and Covid safe restaurant

Delicious food and setvice. We have been celebrating many occasions at Melba since 2016. Its an expensive experience but worth every penny.

We had to ask for water and then they were never refilled. Also had to ask for our drinks orders to be taken twice. Clearing of used crockery was at times slow and then at others had just put our cutlery down and the staff were taking the plates away. Please that chefs were serving, however several times the cheeses, cold meats and salad station and the desserts station were unmanned and diners were helping themselves. Overall however it was a pleasant night.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the buffet menu was extremely disappointing and a waste of time and money. No nut free or gluten free options were provided.

Good quality food and service. High recommend. Will visit again.
