The restaurant was, as always, up to expectations. We had a friend from California who currently lives in Sydney. We wanted her to experience the best of restaurants here in Melbourne. It did not disappoint. Thankyou for a great evening.

Everything delicious, our favourite has always been the Peking Duck would have preferred to make our own pancakes that are not the same now, more hoisin sauce required and duck skin not in them.

Upon arrival, the waiter in charge could not find my booking. Waiting for ages whilst he flicked through his iPad. I told him, I could go look around because my other dining companions had already arrived and I was late - which seemed to have made a big difference to being able to find my table/friends. But he never asked me anything other than what my name was when I arrived?! We were served by a large asian gentleman who was nothing but intrusive throughout our entire meal. He'd fill our water glasses up, if only by 1cm every so often leaning right across everyone and breaking conversation every time! We got up to get dessert and he rushed over to us with the bill!!!! Really, why?? When it came time for the bill, I gestured for him to give it to me (it was my treat) and he just placed it in front of my guests on the other side of the table. Customer service I would give 0/0 for an establishment which should pride themselves on customer service. Now to the food - it was good. However nothing special. All of the spoons, tongs other servicing utensils needed to be cleaned/replaced throughout the dinner service as some were greasy and messy from being put back into the food dishes - this needs smartening up!! Dessert was misleading, it looked like there were so many sweets to choose from, however upon further inspection, there was ice cream (and again the ice cream scoops were covered in sticky melted ice cream - yuk!), sticky date pudding, chocolate fountain and then approx. 6 small desserts in the refrigerated case and most of double quantities, so you thought there were more than there actually was. Disappointing. Won't go back.

We were a party of 7 but one of our friends cancelled, Melba Restaurant were fine with that and quickly changed the table setting. We used the valet parking which was really handy as parking around the city during the day is pretty expensive (Melba charged $19 for 4 hour stay) the food is always freshly made to order!

Some of the food wasn’t as hot as I would have liked, may have partly been due to cold plates. We ate fairly early and the restaurant was mostly empty which did impact on the atmosphere. Our table was overlooking the River and Melbourne skyline which was lovely. The service was exceptional
