Customer Reviews
A great all you can eat buffet in style. Some dishes were stunning such as the roast beef, plump fresh oysters, others miss the mark a bit. Wonderful seafood,, hot and cold buffet, roasts and delicious sweets. A wide range of cuisines with something for everyone. Definitely a plate filler on repeat, so arrive hungry. Very nice cocktails and great service. We enjoyed the most wonderful family night out.
First time here and really enjoyed myself. I would even say one of the bees knees. Lunch time buffet got a bit busy, but the food kept coming out, an endless supply of heavenly dishes. Highly recommend the crispy roast pork, oysters and the rice paper rolls. Service was great, always filling the water, asking for drinks to get us absolutely smashed, and removing used plates from the table as soon as one gets up for more. Would be back here. I'm going to be hard on this one for the seats. The seats aren't great and too heavy to be pushed in and out each time. When you're getting up for 5 plates and some dessert, those seats are annoying to manage, especially more when they're close to each other.
Diverse international delicious cuisine will suit your tastes, marble floors & lavish decor Delightful Yarra views!
We celebrated my teenage daughter’s birthday here thinking it would be a special night for her, however, there was nothing special about the food. Very average and not worth over $100pp. The selection of hot food was very minimal, sushi bar only had a few rolls and some smoked salmon (no sashimi, no nigiri). The seafood selection was okay, we enjoyed the fresh crabs. The dessert was probably the highlight of the night. A good selection of cakes (that actually tasted flavourful) and there was a chocolate fountain and diffrent flavoured ice cream. The staff were friendly and helpful, can’t fault the service, it’s a pity the food did not match the service and ambience of the restaurant. We were quite surprised by the low standard of food, especially from an international casino and hotel precinct. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting something special, it really is not, go elsewhere, there are many other buffet restaurants in the City that is so much better. We dined during the weeknight maybe it’s different on weekends as the price increases perhaps you get more variety however I doubt quality will improve. In my opinion it’s over priced and over rated!
