    Great views over Melbourne but they like to play the music very loud so chatting with friends, is actually yelling at them. Also, while they seem to have plenty of staff, service is very slow…

    It was a very pleasant experience with the food drink and stunning city skyline views. The service in the restaurant was god as well. The only downside is that finding the bar is bit tricky and you have to wait downstairs in the lobby waiting for the receptionist to get another onsite confirmation form the Lui bar although you have already a text confirmation for the booking but you can’t go upstairs to the bar, you can only let in and go upstairs when the onsite approval reaches the receptionist in lobby, it took us a 15 min to wait.

    It was an amazing experience, we went there for our anniversary. The cocktails were delicious and the sunset view was breathtaking from 55th Level. I tried the buttermilk oysters for the first time and loved it. Only downside was (its not a big one, just personal opinion) there were no potato fries/chips. Overall, 4/5 definitely recommend.

    We were disappointed with the Lui Bars renovation... there is no ambience any more. The drink I had tasted like there was no alcohol in it, too sweet... I have had the million dollar baby several times in the past... we were a little disheartened and went somewhere else where there is more ambience and better drink selection. There was a function next door and we could hear someone talking on a microphone very loudly.... we watched as quite a few people exited the Lui Bar... what a shame it used to be great, bring back the couches and make new drinks :(
