Mesh - Crown Promenade

First time set on my feet at Melba restaurant, I felt a warm ambience as well as warm greetings from the staff. I had reserved by the window seat for three, where I can see Yarra River and Southbank. The dining area is not big, compare to Conservatory restaurant in Crown. However, this is closer to the buffet station. I really enjoyed my lunch buffet experience here especially the grilled and seafood selection. Last but not least, we could take as many beautiful shots as we want in the iconic Langham hotel. Don't forget to check the pink phone box in the lobby as well as the pink cab in front of the entrance.

I had the buffet breakfast and it was really good. It has the normal problems of a buffet such as waiting in lines, waiting for food to come out and temperatures not always being hot. But it has a great range of options to choose from including a traditional western breakfast, continental breakfast and Asia specific such as miso soup. It also has a salad and juice bar. Plus the staff are super friendly.

The location, service, and dining experience is 5 star. However the food is 4star. Its a little over rated. Especially when you are paying $150 pp. Smoked salmon- beautiful Unagi- Very nice Salmon Sashimi- not as fresh as some other 5star japanese restaurants Oysters- Very Fresh Prawns- A little over cooked and chewy Sashimi platter- very nice, good presentation Lobster tails- a little dry, (not as fresh as you would want) Duck Pancakes- hardly any duck meat inside Dessert- they didnt replace the vanilla ice cream for ages apple tart was frozen inside pudding- beautiful rasberry + berries mix- so yummy Hot food (great selection and variety of indian, itallian, chinese, cuisine but couldnt fit any more in my stomach after eating all the seafood) All in all- its a beautiful fine dining experience for adults and date night! Wouldn't go there (all the time) There are other fine dining restaurants in melbourne that have a higher quality seafood buffet for sure.

Amazing lipsmacking food, theres all kind of cuisine available from seafood to vegen to aisan continental, sushi, desserts, Indian buffet, salads, all types of meats and bbq also available, I felt 2 hours time for a seating is less they should extend it to 3 hours, if you're there for an experience 2 hours would be less, but otherwise worth the money for any special occasion, especially when you have an event and want to ensure there's somwthing for everyone to relish.
