Reviews
I have always heard of this place as being highly rated for excellent Chinese food however never managed to pay a visit until we received a gift to dine here, and wow am I kicking myself for never trying this sooner! As soon as you step into the premises, the staff are all so welcoming and attentive. I can only echo what other reviewers have said and agree the service is second to none. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where I haven't had to get the attention of staff. And the food, wow! Everything was beautiful, we had the summer tasting banquet and we cannot fault any of the dishes. The coral trout was cooked to perfection, eye fillet was so tender and the veg was so simple yet wonderfully complimented the special fried rice and eye fillet. Dessert could be selected from a wide range from crepe to ice cream to something more traditional like milk pudding. We were spoilt for choice! We went with the almond pudding and the baked chestnut crumble. The custard pudding in the bake was really nice and not too sweet. Overall it was a wonderful night out, we will definitely be back and telling family and friends about this place.
Wow. Absolutely fantastic lunch at Flower Drum. The food and service were incredible. Obviously expensive but you don't go there expecting anything less and the whole experience justifies the cost. Portion sizes are generous so you leave feeling super content. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.Food: 5/5
Flower drum is a Cantonese cuisine institution in Melbourne that is worth a visit. There is a slight feel of nostalgia when walking through the door but on the other hand there is a resounding feel of modern fine dining. Cantonese cuisine is interesting because of the many different flavours and techniques that don't get as much credit when compared to Japanese or French cuisine. Many dishes seem overly simple, but there is such a delicate touch at Flower Drum. The starters we ordered included a highlight in the Century Egg Scotch Egg, I personally found this really delightful. The crabmeat soup was also delicious and done really well. Many of the dishes here are common to lots of different Cantonese restaurants. The difference here is with the quality of produce, the level of service and also the attention to detail paid to each plate. Whilst it will not take the place of my go to Cantonese restaurant, it will always be my choice for the special dinners for special occasions.
The annual award winning 15 chefs hat restaurant lives up to its reputation. Fabulous environment for vivacious celebrations, superb food and friendly talented staff. Amazing crab, scallop and shrimp dumplings, stuffs crab shell, Jade tiger abalone and pepper eye fillet. Yummy.
Amazing atmosphere, the customer service was immaculate. We came as a group of four, when we ordered the mains they served it all to us all equally instead of just picking at the dish. Our favourite was definitely the Peking Duck! Definitely would recommend going back and trying out more of there dishes The drinks were also amazing, a restaurant always worth visiting.
Exceptional, creative Chinese food with great staff - Derek was perfect - recommended some great dishes and our wine glass was never empty. The crayfish omelette was incredible as was the mud crab with vermicelli. Duck pancakes a standout as always.
So far this is one of the best Chinese restaurant with five star service. I can feel the warm welcome from the supervisor, it was very sincerely and the dedicated waiter was following the service procedures. Given i worked in five star restaurant many years ago, I can feel its very professional. The only suggestion I could give is when introducing the wine, normally the person who tasted the wine needs to wait to be the last pouring glass, but that’s just a minor thing. Also I can feel serving waiter doesn’t take customer orders, needs to wait for the supervisor, but it could be better if the serving waiter could acknowledge that client wants to make additional order and inform the supervisor. Overall the place deserve a five star, food is top quality, nice environment and good service. Definitely recommend friends and family members to visit and try out more often.
Food are super awesome. High price come with standard of customer service and fine dining environment but double standard policy. Flower Drum requested dress codes as Business Smart but this is BS. I can see dude dining in jean and t shirt. Please remove your stupid dress code policy.
Ordered the Chef's Signature Banquet 6 courses with the matching wine menu. The courses were all prepared well and the wine went really nicely with each. The selection was well balanced with both sea food and steak being offered, topped with a fresh desert. I would say Flower Drum is erring on the side of being slightly too expensive for the offering, but is still an excellent dining experience. The atmosphere and staff were very hospitable.
We had another wonderful dinner at our favourite restaurant in Melbourne. The flower Drum is one of Melbourne icon restaurants we have dined here on numerous occasions & have always loved it. The restaurant is located at 17 Market Lane. The Flower Drum offers fabulous fine dining Cantonese cuisine however it's not cheap but is certainly worth the fine dining experience as the staff, food & atmosphere are absolutely outstanding.
