Visited Mesh to try their buffet when they had a promotion.
There are ample seating area inside and a live band at the front. In terms of the buffet, there is a good variety with seafood and we really enjoyed it.
The dessert selection is amazing and there is an ice cream selection as well as a fondue fountain.
It is a pretty good spread with the promotional offer.
we had our christmas lunch buffet here at Mesh while we stayed at Crown!
it was too hard to take photos of the food as it is a buffet but Mesh had such a variety of food!!! from cheese to seafood to meats and to desserts we were spoiled for choice! the chefs were so accommodating for our gluten free dietary requirements, we loved all the food and wasn’t disappointed with the service! :)
I think for the price you pay, it’s pretty decent food. Prawns were yum. There could be more variety. Great ambience with live music. Side note, I really liked the ice cream they had. If you’re there, you have to try their vanilla cream with the chocolate pudding cake.
Entering Mesh for their buffet brought tears of joy for me! The view was deliciously amazing. They had a vast array of entree, main, side and dessert options. There was a generous amount of seafood as well.
Everything was presented beautifully and I had to restrain myself from diving into the chocolate fountain!
Parking can be an issue, especially on weekends. And here's a tip, pace yourself and be strategic so that you will be able to sample everything that is on offer.
Came here for Sunday dinner not long ago with my family. Good variety of food. The desserts looked so pretty. However, it can get a bit busy and you end up queuing up for food and they are gone quickly. I liked this place and will go again.
We went to mesh for a celebratory dinner. Lucky we did so as we had SO MUCH FOOD! Make sure you go there hungry! We had the unlimited buffet. Delicious seafood, a range of salads and nice salads, curries and even roasts! The selection of deserts was also impressive. I was too full to remember to take a photo of the buffet unfortunately but i definitely recommend it if are after delicious seafood and do not want to over spend.
• Mesh • Look, there’s nothing better then starving and knowing you’re about to eat up a feast at a buffet, but there’s nothing worse then going to the buffet and it ending up to be horrible! Luckily Mesh is not gonna let you down. Oysters, sushi, salmon, prawns, roast, dumplings, chocolate fondue... I could go on but I don’t want to drool on my phone. Service is just so so so friendly, and pricing being a bit dear but making up for it with the quality of food! #foodporn #foodblogger #buffet #oysters #sushi #prawns #crowncasino #dinner
I went here a couple of times with my boyfriend and I must say that their food never disappoints. Seafood was fresh, food trays were always topped up, desserts were fantastic, and the list keeps going. I find this restaurant to be the perfect place for a romantic dinner, or for any other event really. There is definitely nothing to complain about Mesh!
My best friend celebrated her 21th here, the ambiance is just perfect, live band made it 10x better :) attentive waitstaff and food is great. Will definitely come back ❤️

Then i have the seafood! The shrimp just okay :)

Continue with
- pumpkin soup: so thick and creamy

Overall, after taking a long time to decide whether to go or not! Definitely not regretting to come~ :)
My partner and I often dine at Mesh whether it’s with family (big group), friends or just the two of us and have come to really love it.
In terms of value for money it really is outstanding. The selection of food is fantastic from cold and warm seafood to salad and sides (usually pasta or rice dishes, vegetables etc) and then the meat - chicken, steak, lamb.
They have a great drinks menu and a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Whether you’re there for a long dinner or a short one before a movie or show, Mesh caters to all.
The staff are friendly and promptly clear your plate when getting up for round 2... or 5!
Beautiful dessert selection including ice cream, cakes, chocolate fountain and lollies.
Perfect for big lunch
Always satisfied
Not all food is perfect, but the buffet have a lots choices, so don’t be stupid to fill up the plate with food, try everything in small portions and try to find what make you happy , for having again !
Started with the mushroom aranchini that was delicious! We both had the rib eye medium rare, mash, veggies and salad. Absolutely delicious! The meat just melted in our mouths!

Great seafood buffet, fantastic place to have a large family get together. There is a music band on Sundays and I think children under 12 eat for free.
We had free flowing sparkling and the roast was really good, my nieces and nephews loved the chocolate fountain and all the desserts.

We came here Friday night for their Grill buffet for $65.
It’s a great place to catch up with friends or a family night out as it’s very relaxed atmosphere. There’s also live acoustic music but where we were seated, you can’t really hear them.
The buffet came with 2 drink (wine, beer or soft drinks).
We had a problem flagging down the waiters for drinks and the wait for drinks to arrive was very slow.
But other than that, the service was very professional and friendly.
The variety of food seemed limited and didn’t have an abundance of choices. But the dessert bar was very impressive (chocolate fountain, mini cakes/tarts, fresh fruits and more).
One side had the seafood (tiny oysters, prawns and mussels) and salads. The main counter had all the hot food and roast and grill.
Lastly the other side had the desserts.
Some of the meat I had were dry but overall, the food were fresh and complimented well together.
For that price, it has a nice ambience, good seafood, 2 drinks and most importantly, a nice place to catch up with friends/family.

Been here many times over the years. This restaurant is inside Crown Promenade Hotel. Mesh restaurant serves breakfast every morning, on Monday to Thursday serves A la carte menu, Friday, Saturday and Sunday served dinner buffet.
I usually come here for dinner buffet on the weekend. I been to Saturday seafood buffet and the Sunday night buffet. Saturday is higher price because it has seafood and you get 1 complimentary beverage. And there 2 session on Saturday night dinner.
Sunday buffet is cheaper and now cost $48 even tho back then there is a time they had special costing $41. Sunday served dinner from 5 pm to 9 pm. There no session so you won't be rush and can stay longer. Sunday doesn't have many seafood except like prawns and mussels.
This place serve average food and service is ok. Great for family and big group. This restaurant is good if you are in Crown and feel like having buffet food and want somewhere abit classier then Kitchen Workshop. And don't want to spend a lot like at Conservatory.
If you don't eat seafood or don't mind not having a lot of variety. Coming here on Sunday is good value. Can't complain because a lot of place to eat around Crown is pricey. This place is all you can eat and is in Crown Promenade Hotel. 😀
A beautiful venue! Not as easy to find as I imagined but the set up is lovely and the food presentation is great! There's something for everyone and the chocolate fountain is a great attraction! Food was delicious!
Mesh was a slightly above average experience for a decent price.
The venue was nice enough, with some nice decor to match. Clean, spacious and not overcrowded with emphasis on the food itself.
For an all you can eat buffet style, the food was of great quality with seafood fresh and everything being tasty. We have seen more broader selection at other places, but the selection on offer here was adequate. All in all a slightly above average mark for food. The beverages you get are of typical house quality with carlton draught and acidic wine making unwelcome appearances.
Staff were stretched thin, unattentive unless waved at for service. Although when they do arrive they were quick to serve. Staff for carving food were as you would expect, unhappy and unphased to serve.
For $65 (entry and complimentary two drinks) it just barely reaches above average marks.
A 3.5 out of 5.
One of the best buffets in Melbourne! Great service and atmosphere, and very affordable for what you get. Oysters, prawns, mussels and smoked salmon always a hit
came for a family function. wasn't sure what to expect. food was great fresh and constantly replenished. seafood was super fresh and carvery was excellent. dessert was awesome and would recommend for children over 6 as it can get a bit crazy.layout was nice and relaxed to dine in. thankyou
We went there for a special Birthday celebration, 6 of us. The place is very large and by the looks of it it does cater for large tables as well. The food and service was nice, and we did have a great time. The food on the Sunday Lunch was Buffet.

Mesh is the buffet located on the ground floor of the Crown Promenade Hotel. It is a cut above the more popular and busy Kitchen Workshop buffet. On weekends it offers a seafood buffet and that is what we experienced one Saturday night. There are so many different food stations to choose from, but first things first, let’s talk about the seafood. The options on offer are cooked prawns, fresh oysters, mussels and crab legs. All are cooked and delicious and there are several different sauces and cut lemons on offer as condiments. My favourite combination was the prawns with the thousand island dressing.
Very nice all you can eat joint. Looked classy and was set up into sections so you didn't feel like you're waiting in a huge line to get the food you want like some other buffets.
Staff were great and efficient. They took away dirty plates quickly. The turnover of food was frequent. So most things tasted pretty fresh.
They had a decent selection of food on the night. But for $70 I expecting a bit more. Some decent deserts to choose from which was the highlight for me.
I had a good night out that's for sure. But would I go back?.. Probably not. Not at that price anyway.
A beautiful buffet if you're staying in at Crown Promenade but yous can still come here for dinner anytime !! A very affordable price for what you devour and this buffet is a super asian buffet
This was pretty good when I went. Nice decor and love the dark vibe this restaurant gives. I don't really think they have a wide selection of food but I still quite enjoyed it.
Very good menu for a buffet. Includes a lot of variety without going too wild. Great service and friendly staff. You get three complementary drinks for each person. Felt like great value for what you spend.
Constant replenishment by staff.I enjoyed the fresh prawns,smoked salmon and desserts.Yummy strawberry cheesecake!!!The oysters available this visit was pretty small (6/10).We were seated comfortably at an end corner away from the huge family crowds that were all feasting on Sunday.Good service,nice live music,endless sparkling and soft drinks. yes...i enjoyed it.
Oh they served roasted chicken that were cut into humongous pieces.would be better if they were served in smaller pieces.Afterall this is a buffet and I dont wanna be feeling stuffed after eating that quarter piece.
We had Christmas celebration here and food was ok. Just unlucky we are not big eaters, so we felt a bit overpriced. Lucky this was company treated, but seriously we won't come back if we need to pay by ourselves. XD
Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas buffet.
The fresh food & desserts were delicious
A great extensive wine menu
The best part- fresh oysters with fresh lemon
The absolute best - a chocolate fountain !!!
Quite nice food (buffet style) with heaps of different seafood options, yumcha, and chocolate fountains. Nice place to go out for an event with the family. Nice staff and very clean restaurant. Not the best quality food but pretty good.
Buffets in Melbourne should worship at the Melba altar and this is not different. Nice setting, good variety and excellent service. Mains were varied and tasty. Desserts had a lot of choice but not good, apart from the chocolate fountain. Good value, was almost half the price of Melba and Conservatory for same night.
First experience here, a lunch Sunday buffet. The main choices did not offer that many different options, although nice enough. The desserts were more exciting, bright & fun. Delicious too!
Service was great, one particular female waitress was great! The unlimited champagne was well supplied, staff offered a top up so many times - were not left waiting.
Good buffet overall with an inviting and modern setting.
Pros.
- Decent seafood. Could eat 20 prawns easily, nice indeed.
- Can cater for big groups of people. Family parties or friendly gatherings.
- Waiter service is very good.
Cons
- Desert is nice but could be better, as in more choices of cakes or puddings, selection is a rung below other buffets near or at crown.
It's a nice place for buffet, but it can be better.
I recommend it for people looking for a place for big groups or a nice atmosphere with nice food.
This place is amazing ! The decor is absolutely stunning! And the staff are very attentive! The menu has variety! The food was lovely and well priced for being in the crown promenade ! The salmon was cooked amazing, started to dry out near the end. Steak was amazing though. Had problem with eftpos for 5 mins but everything else was perfect
Mesh is a tranquil place of dining. Everytime we book, there's muted noise, unlike other restaurants at Crown. I love their steaks and salads. The braised beef cheeks and mash are delicious too.
Great all you can eat buffet. Would really recommend the deserts the chocolate fountain looked really amazing. A little pricey but what can you expect from restaurants at crown . Over all good experience with good food and good service.
We went in a group of 5 for dinner, food was amazing at least most of it, there were many different cuisines and a variety of different food. I loved the diversity presented through the food.
The desserts weren't great the tiramisu ice cream tasted to much like alcohol and the vanilla ice cream tasted like medicine, but the chocolate fountain was awesome who doesn't like to see melted milk chocolate drip down. MAJOR PLUS.
Over all food was good, ambience was good and I will most certainly be back.
Thanks. Mesh❤️
Really am a fan of this place for the buffet. The food is excellent and the environment is warm and cozy. Only downside is that the main food/savoury variety is small whereas the dessert is large. Would like to see more dishes for main/savoury other than cold food or starters. $70+ per person for a buffet is on the pricier end but if you are in for a treat it does not dissapoint.
The staff were great and very friendly. The restaurant is spacious and the decor is really pretty. I had the salmon and it was very tender. It was placed on some asparagus with butter sauce which were also full of flavour! Overall a very smooth and positive experience.
Good value for money! Everyone is happy! Kids help themselves, we help ourselves, food is fresh and keeps on coming! The dessert bar is great too! The staff are a bit slow on the drinks though!
This buffet is not bad. Very Good service and some wine and soft drink are included. Fruit is fresh and the roast beef is pretty good. but there are not that various choices.
I've been in this place twice and every time I was completely satisfied with my choice. The price is not very high compared with other luxury dining places in Melbourne CBD.
I love their steaks, as the beef melts in your mouth. It's beautifully marinated and cooked.
I love the environment as it's not crowded and you can enjoy your meal calmly.
We had birthday cake with us and they brought onto our table without charging us for an extra money while other restaurants do.
Came In today for lunch🎉🍚🍲🍰🍢🍣🍘
It was a beautiful setting, pretty casual wonderful service, kids eat free on the Sunday which was a bonus!!! There was sooooo much to choose from, great selection of seafood, there is a very high chance that we shall be back again 👌🏾, had a very lovely experience here today👍🏾
Came here for the $41 sunday dinner buffet special. It was really good value. Prawns and the roast lamb were at good quality. Foods were refilled efficiently. Waiters were also friendly and attentive. Overall it was a nice buffet dinner, just the food variety wasn't large enough.
Have dined for breakfast a couple of times now and the food is very good. Could have a greater selection including some hollandaise sauce. The bacon is great with is char grilled smokey flavour.
Good breakfast and very reasonably priced.
Nice staff.
I was staying at the hotel and later that day I ordered food by the pool, the food served at the deck comes from Mesh. This was also very nice.
Sunday Buffet lunch very nice great range of seafood , pasta , salads and desserts were very nice . Staff were attentive to your needs for $60.00 ahead would definitely go back . Only complaint there really isn't any close parking for elderly people.
Love, love, love this place! Wonderful selection of food, very fresh, very tasty and very high quality. Trendy decor and ambiance, liked the band playing soft grooves and jazz in the background. Not to mention great value, visited on a Friday night, kids eat free, adults only $59.99 and that included three drinks of beer, wine or soft drinks for each of us. Terrific value!! Nice selection of fresh seafood, king prawns, mussles, oysters were wonderful.
Cannot fault this place at all, just terrific. We will be coming back for Christmas eve dinner with the rest of the family. Looking forward to it!
Mr X and I decided to head into the city for a day of exploring. Crown Melbourne had those lunch specials again so we thought we would give it a go again. The last time we tried it was back in May at Jimbo and Rex (click on the link to read the review) and it wasn’t good. However, this time it was much better .
Great Value Great Meal!
Tried Mesh $12.95 dinner deal.
We had the steak, grill chicken and the upgrade for baby barramundi.
Everything is nicely cooked and served.
Came here for a work lunch. Excellent value for money. For $12.95 I had beef cheeks with vegetables, lentils and mash potato. They didn't reduce the serving size just because it was a lunch deal - I left feeling full and content. Big venue but not enough staff so service was minimal.
Had the Sunday seafood buffet. It has a pretty good selection of seafood I would say. Not an amazing array of seafood platter arranged on a stretch of bain-marie. They had the important few however, tiger prawns, salmon, fish, oysters, mussels, oct and crabs. Had a grill station too. Meat was fine. Desserts however was pretty amazing. Had many different types of cakes and tarts. Not to mention they had the all mandatory choc fountain. Well... The best was their free flow sparkling wine... Who could deny that offer?
Definitely can't complain about $12.95 porterhouse steak I ate for lunch yesterday. Will return to try the buffet at some stage. Service and staff was also very good
Very good quality food for a buffet. Food regularly gets replenished, including oysters and seafood, and roast/lamb. Truly an all-you-eat without to compete with other diners. $65 per head including one complimentary drink.
I came for the buffet. The food was nice. The chilli crab was great. Atmosphere is nice. They probably need a couple more mains but that's just being picky.
Been here for the buffet, good set out, nice decor very modern but the actual buffet is nothing to special & definitely not work the price tag. I was pregnant at the time I went so was limited to what I could eat. Rather me just being safe & not wanting to take the risk. Not much of a seafood selection, just your everyday type of food. The best part here is the desserts, they are always been replenished quickly, bite sized so you can try a few different ones without too much wastage. Luckily I am a sweet tooth, so I didnt mind that I had plenty of room for dessert & tried a few different items. Everything is well presented & spaced out so your not waiting too long. This place gets really busy so i suggest a booking is a must. good atmosphere & staff were lovely.
For a seafood buffet, this is quite good value, because one only has to eat two dozen oysters and a main to roughly break even, and the cost included drinks and dessert
We’ve been to Melba on a couple occasions. It is quite pricey for the dinner menu but the food is nice. We particularly enjoyed the live cooking and sushi station which heightened the experience. The service was slightly on the slower side
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.
Loved it! Had my birthday lunch here and there is a variety of foods to choose from. The roast pork belly and lobster and the baby octopus yum! Also love how the dessert is in bite size pieces so you can choose more than one 🤣😋 and the chocolate fountain 🤤
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.
Had the buffer dinner for an Xmas party and thoroughly enjoyed the selection of mouth watering food on offer. The entrance had a beautiful display worthy of a vogue magazine cover so definitely bring your camera too, preferably pics before food!
Really good quality buffet. Cook to order steaks, lamb ragu, sushi, fried noodles. Butter lobsters, prawns, oysters, carvery, Peking duck , made to order naan bread, assortment of curries and array of desserts and chocolate fountain. My recommendation is to go during Monday to Thursday.
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.
