Only downside was cost, $580 including drinks makes it an expensive lunch. I only go once a year but love when I do.

I try to book at your venue the Christmas breakfast for past years. But this year the food (choices) was not to our expectation, it has fallen down its rating. Cannot find a enthusiastic and cheerful waitress. Bit disappointed over all. the venue is good but the food and service require more attention for more customers to come back.

Gotta say standards have really slipped at there Melba - I could not recommend it and I won't be returning- very disappointing. The service was poor and the food was less than mediocre. Lift your game Melba.

Had a very pleasant night until started to feel a lot of pain and very sick after eating something. Within 30mins I was vomiting Not sure what it was as I didn't overeat or eat the seafood and did not drink a lot of alcohol. After it was all out I was okay again. Not very impressed as it ruined a nice night.

I’m sorry but we were not really happy about our special occasion today. We have been there previously hence returning again. The table was quiet slow to be cleared. The smell when we sat down was a terrible musty smell which we put up with. And then our second glass of champagne was warm when it should come chilled. So on the hold quiet disappointing .

Had to wait for the previous session to finish, so we were late to get into the restaurant (very long line to get in). Very busy and didn’t get our drinks until late (we were going to do the drinks package but were served too late to have the 2 hours).

Melbas restaurant DO NOT go if you have allergies! They were very slack and I had to follow up many times, the chef who I spoke to, to see what I could eat asked me ‘why did you go to a buffet if you have allergies!’ Very rude and not worth value for money! They only gave me one plate of food (cold bland meat and steamed vegetables) and fruit for dessert! Not worth going to!
