Venue Testimonials
Melba's is possibly in one of the best locations on the Harbour. The views are amazing and the food and drink options are fantastic. Definitely recommend for a romantic after-dinner drink, a corporate lunch, or even group drinks after work.
Michael L.
The food at Melba's was beautifully cooked and the service was excellent. The service staff had extensive knowledge of the drinks menu. Good place for a first date or to celebrate special occasions!
Lynette L.
I was at Melba's with a group of friends just to celebrate a birthday on Saturday that just passed, the staff were amazing and very accommodating and I really want to give a shout out to one of the bar staff who was serving at level one bar.
