We opted for the a la carte menu instead of the buffet. They forgot to bring our cocktails- we had to remind them. Then they brought the wrong entree. We waited 1 hour after the entrees for the mains. The rockling was tough and cold. The flat head was just fried fish, overdone, and the rocket salad was not fresh. Definitely not 5 star. Very disappointing.

I was disappointed with our seating - I booked a week ago and would have preferred a window table. Instead, we were shoved down the back bordering the Aria Lounge - no view or atmosphere. The restaurant wasn't even full. Also, I think the Melba is overpriced. I prefer Mesh or Conservatory for atmosphere, food and price.

It was great if you liked seafood. If not it was pretty mediocre, I would suggest a nice piece of steak would be great; Other than that staff very professional and friendly.

Inform people more directly about the stairs when going back down from the 9th. It felt unsafe to wait so long for the lifts

Overall it was very disappointing, especially for the December pricing. Apart from the seafood, there wasn’t a very big range of food options. The waitress was also very quick to take our plates, even when we were still eating and the temperature inside was very hot and unpleasant.

I felt the menu was much the same as any other time of year although we were charged more per head which was disappointing. Food was lovely but the desserts were a let down. Overall good experience but really a little over priced.

Nothing great. Don't get all the rave reviews. Basically big breakky and a few add ons for $49. Best breakky in Melbourne!!?? You're kiddin me. Half the things ran out about half way. Yea a bit disappointed. So glad we used the Entertainment vouchers. Not returning.

Food options were as vast as your average buffet dinner . Price is not justified for lack of variety and not a high quality of food. Request for a window seat and special occasion was looked after which was much appreciated . Service was great , staff were friendly . However for the price you pay it is unjustified and will not return .

I have been bringing my family to the Langham every year on 24th December since 2002, we now number 18 -20, and on our first visit the hotel was the Sheraton. Everyone loves the outing, that's why we keep coming. We have not yet found a better alternative. I particularly like the 'starters' (smoked salmon, cheeses, prawns etc; and the international cuisine!

This is a quality restaurant but some parts are really missing that extra especially the carvery. On this day the service could have been better and it has been. I understand its a busy time of the year but for the price it should be up to a higher standard.
