Food was very good but desserts were a little “ho hum”. The table opposite the roast meats was bare. It appeared that either they were not putting food on that part or they had just cleared away - in any event it was not a good look. They should at least put plates there or a floral arrangement not not have a large empty space.

We chose this restaurant as we were attending a concert at the Hamer Hall at 7.30. As it was self service we had control on how long the meal took. There was a wonderful selection of food which was beautifully displayed. A memorable evening.

We dine at Melba on special occasions as the atmosphere and food is of a very high quality and the experience very enjoyable. Our waiter Shane, was extremely friendly and efficient which made this (a 70th Birthday) very memorable for all.

Very disappointed. My wife and I were on a table for two in a group other tables for two. This meant that we were so close together that it was impossible to hold any conversation between ourselves without the two tables on other side of us hearing every word and vice versa.

Food was excellent on quality and variety. Service was brisk, and our table was not really given much attention for the evening. The restaurant staff apologised for this at the end of the evening, which was appreciated.

I have been to Melba several times and always had a good experience. Our waitress was quite slow in regards to checking on our table and there were a couple of times where we had to get up and ask to order another drink which was slightly disappointing. The food is always delicious - the only two things I wish were available were the Morton Bay bugs and crème brulee as they are my two favourites. Overall a good experience.

We came for my husband’s quiet birthday celebration. Good food, good atmosphere, decent service. It was a bit confusing that they offered bookings every half hour but split dining into 2 sessions. Luckily we booked 6pm for 7:30pm finish, so we had enough time to eat, although towards the end we were very rushed I had to gulp my wine before we were ushered to pay.

I expected alot more from the Langham. It was our Wedding anniversary and i had requested a Table with a View (meaning by the Window) but was seated away from any view. There were tables by the window free with noone seated at them the whole time we were there. Also our little gifted boxed cakes stated ‘happy birthday’...it wasnt our birthday. I felt a little more effort could have been made to make a special day as special as it should be especially paying the price everything is at.

Have returned to the Melba after making the Conservatory at Crown our celebrations venue. The range of food and variety are much reduced and the salad bar uninspiring with vegetables presented individually as opposed to together in mixed salads. Meat choices in the roast areas down to beef only that we noted. The best areas of the buffet were the Indian food and the Japanese food selection of raw fish. The octopus salad there was delicious. Service is good and we certainly didn’t leave hungry though we felt the Melba wasn’t as good as it used to be. The lunch buffet at the Melba was our family treat for many years.
