Perfect Christmas Day Lunch. We dined at the 2.30pm sitting. The food servings were very generous and absolutely delicious. Thanks Chefs . All staff who waited on our table were wonderful, friendly and so accommodating. Thanks to all who gave up their Christmas Day and worked. We will definitely consider returning to Melbourne for Christmas Lunch with you 2022.

End of year function in the wine room. Staff couldnt have been more helpful. Food and drinks were great and value for money. Place was pretty busy but staff found a space for our group and were very accommodating even after the event had finished. Thanks again for a great afternoon.

Lovely evening and great staff. They were really busy & understaffed and they did a great job!! Food very good. Shame they have to close early but thats a staffing issue like every other hospitality business in Melbourne.

Nice atmosphere. Probably one of the worst parmas I've ever had 3 others at the table agreed. No flavour and soggy. For the price they are charging I would expect alot better. $140 for a cheese board 2 kids meals, 2 adults and 1 beer 1 wine... are you kidding me. You are a hotel not a Michelin star restaurant. Not the first time we have been. Will definitely be our last.

We had the Igloo experience at Auburn Hotel and it was sensational. The food and cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed having our group of 5 in the Igloo which was lit up with fairy lights. It was warm inside with gas heating provided. I would highly recommend this experince
