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.
There are less dishes to choose. Not as good as expected.
enjoyed very much would come back again staff and food are good
Brilliant. I recommend this place to people wanting some special time.
Nice view, food nice but nothing out of the ordinary, great table service but overpriced.
Lovely food and excellent service, our waitress, Yam, was outstanding and looked after us wonderfully.
The lighting is a bit dull. As for food choice could be better
My partner and I had a fabulous experience. Food was fabulous, great customer service, friendly staff and couldn't do enough for you. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Thankyou :)
Delightful. Excellent service and attention from staff. Great food again.
Cutlery was not replaced which is fine, but don’t take it away unless you have replacement available. Overall food and atmosphere amazing.
Food was excellent, service from staff was average. (the staff were good, but expect more from this type of venue)
Food and price very good. The seafood and sashimi bar are superb, splendid! I would like to see bottomless tea and coffee. Don’t mind make it myself instead of table service.

The food was great, the only issue was that it was sometimes hard to get service from staff while it was busy. So more floor staff would be helpful. Staff themselves were very attentive and performed well, considering how many tables they hadn't to manage.
Amazing food and great service , as always. Thank you!
We were a bit disappointed in the service waiting for drink service and the time we waited for them to be delivered and the clearing of the tables was not like it normally is. This was my 3rd visit this year and will return again as I really do love the atmosphere and the choice and quality of food. Also is it possible to have some lactose free foods on the menu as a guest had minimal choice from the dessert section. Overall we still had a fabulous time! 😃
Thank you for a lovely evening. We may only had one hiccup when we waited 15 minutes for a crab utensil. But everything was great!
Service was absolutely crap. No one bothered to take our drinks order and then just took the drinks menu away. Definitely seems like there are better places to go.
Negligent service, overcooked food, overcrowded, deafening atmosphere, low variety. Avoid......
Edward, the night manager from Aria bar, was the only shining light on the night, staff at Melba’s restaurant were all very sour, rude and abrupt. Nothing was explained when staff were asked a question regarding payment, fortunately Edward was there to listen to us and went above and beyond.
I have just celebrated my 50th birthday at the Melba restaurant and it was amazing. Exceeded expectations. Service was excellent. The little extra touches didn't go unnoticed. Relaxed atmosphere and the wide range of food was better than amazing. So so so great. Totally recommend the Melba and we will return.
It was our first time coming to Melba and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We were especially impressed with the sushi bar and the naan station! The service was great and overall we enjoyed our time :)
Seafood not bad but rest just average for the price, no parking without paying, light $10 for 1 stubbie & 15 for glass of moscato over priced
Food was first class service was excellent a total experience
Have been going to the Melba brasserie for >20 years when it was the Sheraton . The current owner /franchise ‘e is very average compared with previous operators , it’s a shame , has been the best buffet in Melbourne and we have converted all our friends .
We have used Melba as a meeting place by old work friends for 6 years. and we will be back again.
All good thanks it was a nice time , I really enjoyed it
Good service, nice city views. Tables are a bit close together. Ample wine list. The staff are very professional.
Needs to berefurbished. Its too old and needs to be renovated. Food was average. Crown conservatory is much better
Food was excellent. The only negative thing I have to say is that the oysters were particularly difficult to eat due to the little shells in the oysters. I had to go to the bathroom to rinse my mouth to get rid of the shells.

Not worth the price we paid! The food was normal nothing special!
Very helpful staff and quick service. Excellent.will come back again.
Regarding the noise levels, this was due to several young children being there, however this is all part of dinning out so it did not detract from the overall experience. Exceptional service, food and well everything. Cheers Mat Howell
Lovely venue for a delicious Sunday lunch. Excellent service, great view sitting at the windows, busy but no waiting for food. Favourite place to dine.
