The Mansion - Melbourne

Interesting venue overall, at the bar staff less than stellar (mostly out of sight). Beer on tap selection pretty good. Food — less than great.Drinks at indoor bar were good — lots of beer on tap. Flatbread vegetable ok, green beans way over salted. Key lime pie was a cheese cake with a hint of key lime flavor — not a key lime pie not good.

I've lived in this area since 1990 when this place was called The Strawberry Mansion. I've never been here before before today. This Mother's day buffet was THE WORST I've ever been to in my life. The food on the ENTIRE buffet was either cold or luke warm at best!! The wait staff was terrible and COULD NOT get the drinks right at all. We had to constantly call them for drinks until they decided to leave the pitchers of water and iced tea on the table. This buffet was probably worth $20 at most, NOT $48!!! Rip off!!! I've had better buffet at Shoney's when they were still around. I will NEVER come back nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone!!! Good luck!!!

We were so disappointed! Went Saturday to celebrate Mother’s Day early as this is my mom’s favorite restaurant and just had a very disappointing experience. She was also excited for my brother to try it to. The restaurant is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxing. We always get the salmon and just love the flavors…. But not this time. The mashed potato’s were grey, clumpy, dry, and crumbly on all three of our plates. We told our server and he said he will be right back then came back asking if we wanted a different side, he looked annoyed. We got rice and beans.. not much better. Undercooked rice and dry overcooked beans. What’s going on??? Our server didn’t make things better as he did not care at all. He was not friendly whatsoever and I have no idea why he is a server as he was not kind. He looks annoyed with everything. It’s just a shame. Nothing was taken off the bill, and we didn’t even get a proper apology for ruining my moms Mothers Day dinner. It’s just a shame. Lost customers who go there frequently.

Our server Brandon was outstanding. He was attentive and spot on our needs. We enjoyed the crab cake meal and I highly recommend it.The appetizers are all great. I highly recommend coming for your lunch or dinner plans. Parking: Right in front of the restaurant and wraps around for plenty of places to park.

Great Food and service, had the Salmon, cooked to perfection.
