Melba Restaurant

Food was absolutely beautiful, and deserts! But I was disappointed my baby’s meal was taken so soon before I’d finished feeding her. Babies take a while to eat, they may stop and want a break but then will eat more. As a single mum it’s hard enough feeding myself. I got my plate first and then had her pasta made. Before I could even taste my food I fed baby, she was not finished as she never rejected any. I come back to my table and her plate was gone! Also I wasn’t impressed how the candles were put on dads cake! I gave strict instructions upon entry where to put the numbered candles and just said to put the rest (longer candles) where ever. I was asked if all the long candles needed to be used, I said no but as long as there are some. The cake got brought out with only the numbers candles, and the 5 was crooked and not where I wanted them at all as it blocked the decorations on the cake when it came to taking photos. And there were no longer candles on the cake at all! I did not buy the longer candles for no reason, I especially didn’t bring them for no reason. I asked the waiter for plates and spoons and he said yes, they are all in there, hoping I’d say, that’s ok I will get them, but then he said but I will get you some and he did right away. At the end I asked for the box for the cake and told him if he has the longer silver candles and he said yes yes n brought them straight away. I’m very upset the cake wasn’t done how I asked at all! I would of happily done it myself had I know that. And I can’t blame our waiter, I’d say it was lack of communication from the staff that greeted us upon entry, to the waiter!! And very upset my babies pasta was taken. Unless a plate is clearly empty or clearly finished ie, oyster shells, prawn shells ect, all plates with food on them should be asked to be cleared, not just cleared. Apart from that he was a very good waiter, excellent service

Absolutely Awesome in every way, food is delish & felt like we were in Food Heaven & Staff are Exceptional with their service! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think for the price I expected the service to be better. We also go the free flowing wine on top of the buffet dinner, the Prosecco wasn't really cold, it was almost warm and we had to request top ups. Our waitress seemed a bit run off her feet. The seafood was pretty good

I love it here at Melba Brasserie much better than other competitors. It’s more quieter and lots of good fresh food and more gluten free options.

Only small issue. I arrived at 1:30 PM for lunch and by 2:30 PM kitchen was closed! So no hot food was served!

Excellent! My daughter has Coeliac Disease and having chef cook for her is perfect!

Good establishment, though at times table service was lacking when wanting to order drinks.

Nice place to dine in , nice food and good service .

Great service And food. Will definitely go back to enjoy

Very nice buffett restaurant - perhaps centred too much on seafood.

Great service it was just a steep price hike for a public holiday. Lunch shouldn’t go from $75 - $115

Very enjoyable lunch experience. Service was friendly, attentive & professional.

Oh my yummyness, this place is awesome, just love it.

The Service was great, the food was pleasant, good variety

The experience at Melba was lovely. Our party of three all thoroughly enjoyed our time and walked out very full! One member of our group though has a severe allergy to sea food and fish sauce. When ordering from the noodle station, she gave this information the chef. At the time, everything was okay, but overnight had an allergic reaction which means there must have been some cross contamination, potentially from tongs or a wok. It was a bit disappointing after she had mentioned it to the chef.

Service was not as attentive in terms of asking if more drinks were needed, efficient at plate clearing however

Service great ,food was excellent except for a couple of things. Beef was overdone a bit, Duck pancakes had been left out and dried a bit before they had the duck put in them. Couldn’t find vanilla ice cream a popular choice by most people I would have thought but not available . I must say very good otherwise and really enjoyed the night.

The ambiance was romantic and beautiful the food was fresh and fantastic with ample choice of delicious delicacies. The staff were fautless - friendly and efficient. An excellent experience - I felt spoilt and loved.!!

My friends and I LOVE Langham and we always go there for all our birthdays every year. The food is always amazing as is the service. The only area I believe Langham could improve is to ensure they don't run out of desserts. So many times we go up to get dessert and the options we originally wanted are no longer there or things have just completely run out so I would suggest keeping desserts stocked up would be amazing.

Fantastic place for a special occasion. Good good and helpful staff

Excellent hotel - good food and great service - would definitely recommend

Very nice night looking out on Southbank. Relaxed atmosphere and good service. Food was very good and there was a good variety to suit most tastes. It is a buffet so some presentation niceties on a plate are missing. Good selection of wines and drinks. Valet parking is a little overpriced at $70 for less than 2 hours.

Naan bread with mnms best thing ever a must try

Can’t fault anything it was all very good enjoyed every moment

Excellent just amazing. Would do it again thank you so much

Today, the quality of food was extremely poor particularly the seafood, prawns were in consistent in size and mussel were frozen. Eating such food was not pleasant.

Expansive buffet but very pricey. Service excellent. Some dishes were not hot.

Lovely day, eating beautiful food and celebrating a wonderful special Occassion.

Beautiful place and excellent staff. Great food and table service. I was disappointed with a foursome sitting behind us with noisy chatter. One young lady in particular who told the whole restaurant about her personal life and her views on everything. I pay to eat out to enjoy food and a relaxed atmosphere. For this environment it was out of place and my wife and I left slightly disappointed.

Have visited melba at least 15 times and have introduced friends and family

Not the fine dinning experience I was after for our anniversary. Service was bad and food was well below par. We went A la carte big mistake. They cater to the buffet and buffet crowd. Not people wanting a nice meal.

Was lovely experience. Nice and quiet to talk and food forever.

Great place, very comfortable and the food is always fantastic!

Not good as I expected, limited choice of seafood, will not go second time

Amazing food and service. Value for money. Will come back again.

Ambience and experience was amazing. One of the best buffet in Melbourne.

setting sun too hot on the table Food not as tasty as previous visits (pasta was bland, pork belly tough) Not impressed with desserts at all.

Not enough seafood, not much food to pick from, left the restaurant still hungry Too expensive for no reason

Overall the food lacked flavour however there was variety. The ambiance was nice, not to loud and the staff were polite and timely. Of the different buffets available in Melbourne, Melba unfortunately doesn't top the list.

Had a wonderful time, we were treated very well and would recommend to anyone. My husband and I have very different diets so eating at the buffet makes it so much easier to choose what you want.
