The food was really good, service was good, except the part whereby we have to wait about 15mins to receive by our card for payment

The lobsters, cooked in whatever ways, are blend and not sweet. They seemed to have been frozen. The lobster gâteaux, the BBQ lobster and the lobster curry was all a joke to me coz the lobster itself was tasteless and over cooked (in the curry). Only the Indian curries and the lobster bisque were good. Lives of lobsters wasted in the hands of incompetent chefs, hired on a tight budget perhaps...?!

Plenty of seafood. Lots of variety. Service was good. Walking space a little cramp. Got to look for the hotel first, then the restaurant. Access from the mall is via a small narrow corridor and stairway.

Food was good and ambience was great. The seafood was delicious, and the meats fresh. It would have been perfect if the staff settling the bill could have been faster.

A big disappointment cos their buffet used to be so good. The quality of food has gone bad and food variety is a big difference as compared to a year ago. You know something's not right when the place is empty by 9pm and empty pots and plates are not re-filled at 8.30pm.

Varieties for lunch satisfactory though there is no lobster as mentioned in the menu online. Love the dessert section. Will try the dinner buffet if there is any promotion.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday. She wanted to have a seafood dinner, and as we'd been here before, we decided to come back to enjoy the buffet again. While it was touted to be a seafood buffet (and this description fit the food perfectly), there were other dishes which appealed to everyone at our table. My children were also spoilt for choice with the variety of desserts available. We were also very impressed by the service - our plates were cleared very promptly, and the staff kindly obliged us by helping us to take a group photo, as well as provide a wine recommendation. We will definitely come back to Melt!

Very wide variety of food. Seafood was very fresh - would definitely recommend as this is on the level of other international hotel buffets like Line and Triple Three, but is priced slightly lower so it's value-for-money.

The range of food selection is impressive. They provide japanese, western, Indian and Chinese cuisine. The seafood is very fresh. The other meats like the roasted beef and tandoori chicken were a little dry. Do note that UOB do not have 20% off and we had a slight disagreement when footing the bill. apparently, the bill cannot be split to utilise the 3 pay while 1 dines free and 15% card promotion (we are a party of 6). The manager managed to clear it up for us, so people that wants to do so got to make it known during reservation. overall, good experience

There were a lot of empty tables but I couldn't get a table reservation on the morning the day I wanted to go for Sunday lunch. Good thing for Quandoo - they were the only website that somehow allowed a lunch booking. All the other websites would only take dinner reservations. For the restaurant itself - as always, very happy with the food. It was the last day of the Oktoberfest: the sausages were very good. So was the shabu shabu.

The food was average at best and the selection, limited. I noticed that most meat dishes, including the roast beef carving, were tough. There was no dish that stood out so the best part for me would be thr cheese selection. The service was commendable - friendly and attentive.

This used to be my favourite buffet place. However, during our last visit, we were dismayed to find that the quality of the food no longer remains. There aren't that many selection at the BBQ grill and dessert sections anymore. The famous Belgian waffle has been replaced by crepes instead. Generally, we felt that the quality of the food no longer stands. As for service, staff are always in a hurry to remove the plates away from us even though we were not done with it. It is pretty rude to have plates being removed from you when your utensils are not down yet. Will definitely think twice about returning again since this is one of the most expensive buffets in Singapore.

Salad variety was extensive. North Indian spread is authentic and very refreshing change from the usual international spread. The other side of the international buffet maintain its high standard as usual. I love the lobster laksa and took 2 serving at one go. Thumbs up!

The service by the restaurant was excellent. They were prompt in clearing the table before you return with your next plate of food. Atmosphere was good, probably it was a Tuesday and there were not many diners in the restaurant. Food selection is ok, with a good spread of differenr cuisine. I was there for dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. They gave her a surprise birthday cake. Overall, it was a pleasant experience dining at MELT.

My favourite buffet in Singapore never fails to disappoint me. It's a bit on the pricey side but the spread is amazing! Go for more lobsters or beef cuts to make up for the price!

Good service restaurant. Fast plate clearing. Suckling pig was not displayed openly though, resulting in diners not knowing it was available. You have to ask to get it.
