The food was delicious, but the portions are very small for what you pay. $35 for a pasta dish and a drink the meals were very small and we were hungry a few hours later

Excellent service and very fancy venue. Good for special group gathering. A bit disappointed about the food. Most of us didn’t quite enjoy it. We ordered the 3-course experience. The potato and the steak sauce were too salty.

i had the ravioli and it was so salty that I only ate it as I was hungry. I had a booking for 2 people and i was waiting for a friend, the waiter proceeded to take the second set of cutlery away and I said no, I have another person coming. I didnt get to tell the waiter about the salty ravioli as at no time during service did he come up and ask how the meal was going nor did he ask when I paid the bill. Beautiful building and stunning room but I wont be going back. Its like having a meal in Sydney where no one really cares

Luci has never failed to impress with their buffet breakfast. Scrambled eggs are still amazing, the selection is enormous. It's quiet, with the exception of my children, and the staff are very welcoming and attentive.

Bland food with no seasoning, we weren’t offered cracked pepper with our meals, our glasses of water were not filled when empty. We expected more from a fine dining experience. Dessert was nice.

A great spot for Sunday breakfast. Unfortunately the buffet ends at 11am so we were only able to order from the menu which wasn't a problem. Coffee not up to a Melbourne strength. As the room was nearly empty at 10.45am there was no problem with service or noise. Noise would be a concern when full as its a large open room with stone floors. We had Eggs Benedict with salmon and an assortment of sides. Sides are generous and suitable for two sharing.
