Reviews with Positive Feedback
---------------------------
- Natasha Rozario: "The venue consisted a view of the cbd. You're leaded to the buffet with a staircase and generous indoor water features with smooth piano jazz playing. The variety was all well seasoned, how we like it. Cheers to the chefs for their excellent hospitality." (4 stars)
- Lotso: "Is the spread of different food good? yes. Is it worth 150$ pp? maybe once as an experience on a special occasion. However it was amazing that there wasnt a time limit. we stayed there for 3 hours+" (4 stars)
- Konfusion: "For a buffet at this price it was everything I had expected. The quality of the service was amazing. The staff were very mindful and polite and we always came back to a cleaned table after grabbing a new plate of food. While there was a small variety in the food selection available, they had a lot of culturally diverse dishes." (5 stars)
- Aaron Abella: "I recently took my mum to Melba Restaurant at The Langham Hotel for a Mother's Day treat, and it was absolutely fantastic! The all-you-can-eat buffet offered a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to every taste bud - seafood, Asian, Indian, dessert and many more." (5 stars)
- Helen Brown: "We had the best night out; the food choices were endless! The wait staff were fantastic as were all the chefs. Terrific range of food; great value!" (5 stars)
- Vivian: "Melba was an amazing dining experience. This buffet offers so much variety. The sashimi bar is just so good and you can even ask them to customise. The oysters were so fresh and irresistible. The service was also top tier!" (5 stars)
- John Peterson: "Ornate decor, tour the world with a dinner buffet selection covering, Italian, French, Asian, Indian, Seafood and Japanese. The views across the river and city make a great backdrop." (5 stars)
Reviews with Negative Feedback
---------------------------
- Maria Wheelon: "I'm sad I didn't read the most recent reviews as they are mostly accurate. The food was nice, but not worth the price. I recommend getting a 3 course meal from a place you love instead of overeating on the food here." (3 stars)
- A. Y.: "Some facts I have to let others know, but this is just based on my experience having the buffet that night. Just for your reference, the oysters were not fresh and kinda bitter, the lamb chop was burnt, the Thai fried rice was too bland. However, the service was excellent personally." (2 stars)
- Foodbringshappiness: "An elegant restaurant with view of the Yarra river. The buffet has a variety of cuisines. My favorite would be the sashimi but it would be appreciated if the server turned her frown upside down. Loved the different cooking station - freshly cooked noodles, steak, pasta and roti." (3 stars)
- Black Thrush: "First impressions are very good. I don't know why a few of the staff acted tired of me. Some are really nice and don't lose their smiles. The food selection was good; you can get multicultural dishes. I would recommend it for family meals." (4 stars)
- Sam Pang: "We have been to the Melba Buffet three times in the last two years and our most recent visit has been the most disappointing. Variety of food seems to be down but most importantly, the quality of food seems to have gone significantly down hill. We went as a party of four for a Christmas dinner with friends and all four of us left feeling not so well." (1 stars)
