In terms of value for money the Crown Conservatory is slightly better value when they offer a free glass of wine and free coffee.

The food and wait staff we're lovely. The restaurant could do with an update and make it a little brighter. I think jugs of tap water should be offered on the table and not sparkling or flat water that we have to pay for, which we were not advised of, we did have tap water refilled by wait staff but no jugs of water. I mean we are already spending $100 per head and to be charged for water is pretty bad, tea and coffee should be included in $100 too.

Our waiter was fantastic and decor lovely, but we specifically chose Melba Restaurant for its seafood buffet and carvery, only to have overcooked scallops, the carvery understaffed (1 chef trying to serve 10 people) and we were charged $70 for a $19 bottle of wine!

The staff and service was very good. The selection of food was underwhelming and the desserts need to be improved. I don’t think the cost is suitable for the food, in a city like Melbourne where you can get better food for the same price.

Handful of deserts only, not many options compared to other buffets. Service was ok as expected from a hotel buffet. Too expensive and not enough value for money.
