Conservatory in Victoria

"My boyfriend has very specific allergies and the lovely waitress asked what we needed, grabbing the chef and lead us to walk around every single food letting us know what he could and couldn’t eat. The chef asked what he liked specifically and if it had an allergy in it he noted it down and then 15 mins later he made a fresh massive bowl of accommodated food which was lovely. The chef also gave him a whole platter of a variety of deserts that was catered towards him. The food was incredible, the range was amazing, and the service was amazing. I would 100% recommend this restaurant. Genuinely the most beautiful man that cares about his job, I wish I knew his name but he was a head chef working on the 20/11. The drinks were also reasonably priced for the taste and presentation."

"Brilliant experience at the lunch Buffet. Service was exceptional. The seafood buffet was really worth it. Went for the drinks package which was great value however next time will go for the premium package as the wine was ordinary. The food however was A 1 and will be back. Was a terrific place to take my adult daughter for a special lunch for her birthday."

"We had a wonderful time dining at this luxury restaurant in Crown Casino. The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and matched perfectly with the atmosphere. The staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely made the experience special. The view was stunning and added a touch of magic to the evening. That said, a few small points could be improved: 1. The website doesn’t mention clearly which parking area to use. We parked in the multi-storey car park and ended up walking nearly 15–20 minutes to reach the restaurant. 2. We didn’t know that window seats need to be requested about two months in advance — it would be helpful if this was mentioned online. 3. Even though it’s quite an expensive dining experience, guests still need to pay for parking, which feels a bit unreasonable. 4. The grace time is listed as 15 minutes, and we arrived exactly that early, but we still had to wait outside for the table to be prepared. Overall, the experience was fantastic and memorable — the food and service were well worth it, and I’d happily return. Just a little more clarity on the website and a few small improvements would make it absolutely perfect."

"Exceptional service! I haven't had the pleasure of being warmly greeted by two lines of waiting staff in a Melbourne restaurant since prior to Covid 19. They were super friendly, attentive and pleasant. When I asked for a cushion, they quickly came back with one, no hesitation whatsoever. Thanks guys for the great experience! Lovely & stylish ambience. The length of the upmarket restaurant isn't as long as it appears in photos as there are mirrors at both ends on the room. There are beautiful windpw views inside the Conservatory which you can see the Melbourne Aquariun across the Yarra River. The closest carpark is the multi level. Take the lift and after reaching level 1, turn slightly left then it's about 15 mins walk to the restaurant. We selected the 5.30 - 8pm session. At once stage, there was a long queue at the warm servery area. I made a mistake of piling up my plate with too much food (to save from queuing up again) and some of my food went cold. But actually I had plenty of time. Perfect roats! The wasabi sauce/paste wasn't beatted long enough for the stronger, more pungent flavours (heat) to come through. Also, it would have been great if they had some sort of rice paper rolls back which they did about 10 months ago. 2 entrances for the Multi-level carpark are: 28 Haig St, Southbank VIC 3006 33 Clarke St, Southbank VIC 3006 I hope this helps."

"We loved celebrating a birthday at Conservatory Crown! Although the gluten-free options were somewhat limited, the overall experience made it a wonderful place for a family get-together. The view is absolutely amazing, and the gluten-free desserts were especially great. Vegetarian options are a bit limited as well, but if you’re not too restricted with your diet, this is definitely a go-to spot. We’ll certainly plan to visit again—if only for the beautiful ambiance, cozy atmosphere, and perfect setting for a relaxed night out with family."

"Been going to Conservatory for years now and it’s a pretty consistent experience. Oysters and always fresh and the prawns are great quality. Good variety of Asian and Western dishes which includes an amazing carving live station that offered beef and pork. Obviously had multiple stops to the dessert station to see the iconic chocolate fountain."

"Review by Instagram@Jolyslife. Follow my Instagram for reviews, lifestyle and travel content. Buffet in the heart of Melbourne with a stunning waterfront view, what a perfect way to indulge the interior is gorgeous with high ceilings and marble floors, such a luxurious vibe here. The variety of food is great! Roasted dishes (beef, pork belly, duck etc), cold selections like sushi, ham & cheese, Chinese cuisine, fresh seafood and a generous dessert spread. And yes, there are TWO chocolate fountains, one classic chocolate and one pink (white chocolate). Service was incredible, plates were consistently cleared, water refilled without asking and food was always fresh and replenished when nearly empty. Everything was spot on. 5/5 an unforgettable dining experience!"

"Excellent variety and a massive buffet dinner - lots of Sushi, Indian, Pizza, Italian, Seafood, Deserts, Salads, Asian, Grilled Meat and a Chocolate Fountain. You need to go here with a big appetite and fun is when you're in a large group. They run specials from time to time so cheaper when you go early and kids eat free during certain times of the year so take a look at their specials on the Crown Towers website. The food quality and presentation is amazing and you know they have used top ingredients. I would rate this as the best buffet in town. I've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner but enjoy the dinner buffet the most. Book in advance and request for a window facing table."
