An amazing selection of food was available, you could be healthy or very naughty - the chocolate fountain is in operation even at Breakfast !!! Hot, cold, Asian what ever you could think of it was available. The freshly cooked eggs were lovely. Loved the selections of juices too including organic. The wait staff were excellent and kept the tea... More

Had my birthday dinner at Melbas, we had small children in our group so opted to do the Pre-Theatre seating 5pm-7:30pm (also it was slightly cheaper!). As we were a table of 10 we had a large table overlooking the city which is beautiful lit up at night. The food and the service were excellent. The chefs had arranged a... More

We had the Mothers' Day special buffet. They may have pulled out all stops for this special occasion but the evening was great. We didn't have a window table (partly because we were a group of 5) but still nice view overall and we were close to the food, the main reason for being there. It was our first visit... More

Anything you could possibly want for breakfast they have it at Melba - all the traditionals plus custom made omlets & eggs any-style, excellent gluten free selection, beautiful fruit, juices etc. You want to ensure you feel up to a cooked breakfast to make the most of the experience - its worth the AU$40 per person

Amazing food and variety of cuisine. We enjoyed the wonderful Indian food, sushi and Chinese dim sum. The only negative is that my stomach isn't big enough to try everything. The desserts were fine - but not fabulous.

We have been to Melba on a number of occasions, for various occasions, and it never disappoints. the service, attention to detail is always of the highest standard. the food is always super fresh, heaps of variety, and the cooking stations where they prepare your food for you are the best. Best duck pancakes ever.

I booked this as a High Tea for a bridal party. It was supposed to be an elegant experience. I was personally very disappointed with the service for the following reasons: - We were rushed. The waitress brought out our bill 30 minutes before we were due to conclude, and she called for last drinks at that time too. This... More

My wife and I ate both dinner and breakfast at the Melba. The food wasmagnificently presented and fresh and most importantly, plenty of it. It is well worth not eating all day and spending the evening at this resteraunt. Perfect views, grreaat food and service all add up to a very enjoyable meal. You just have to pay the price.... More
