Rustic Restaurant Bar 9 - Melbourne

It's okay for a hotel restaurant. Good service. Decent menu selection. Presentation was adequate but not a lot of care or finesse with the food.

Three of us for three years. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unfortunately, the quality of the meals have regressed each time.We were told by our server there was a new chef staff. I wouldn’t want to put my name on this meal. Very poor. Sufficiently sized portions, but food was tasteless, over cooked, and not served hot.

Did a quick night away and stayed at the Rialto. Had dinner here and it was good. I ordered the salmon and it was amazing! It had a yellow curry sauce with jasmine rice. My husband ordered the peppercorn steak and it was not the best cut of steak so would not recommend that. The cook was perfect and the potatoes were fabulous along with the broccolini, though. Service was fast and friendly. The lava cake was to die for! Also had an espresso martini!

First off this restaurant closed for Covid and was closed for 18 months. The dining services were re-open for breakfast and lunch in the middle of 2022 and has so far been going on for over a year but the dinner service just started as of September 2023 so this is the first review since re-opening up dinner services. My brother and I and a friend met with seven people for a dinner on Saturday night. The facilities were rather large and spacious and we were the only table that was being served at this time because as I said, they just opened dinner services about 15 days prior to our arrival. We pretty much had personal service with a lady named Sherry Cox. Who it also turns out is the breakfast manager on Sunday morning. All 10 of us that were sitting here had great food great service , drinks were good liquor included. All the food was to order and to taste and for this evening, we have a great dinner. On Sunday morning they open at 5 AM until 11 for breakfast then 11 to 2 for lunch and then I think it’s 3 to 10 for dinner and myself and my brother went to breakfast here Sunday morning and for $16.95 you can have a AYCE all you can eat breakfast buffet along with the continental breakfast filled with lots of fruits and cheeses, eggs, hot eggs, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, bacon, grits, and many other great comfort foods. Great deal for a great price. They also have cereals to serve as well as bagels and muffins too.

The food was very tasty and fresh. The cocktails were of good standing and not weak. The servers were attentive and friendly. I will gladly visit again.
