The Carvery - DOCKLANDS

We went to watch the Essendon/Westcoast game on Sunday and booked for lunch at the Carvery, the cost was $65 per head for a 3 course buffet which included seafood. The seafood was fresh and the rest of what I had to eat was of a very good standard. I felt that the drinks were far too expensive. Management should take this on board and rethink their costings, especially when you pay $65 for the food!! Staff were very attentive and we had a great afternoon, especially my husband and brother, because Essendon won.

Dined here the night of the soccer Australia v Japan. The cost was $60 per head which included a buffet meal. This consisted of seafood, salad, cold meats, vegetables and numerous varieties of desserts. You can dine till half time so we arrived at 6pm giving us 21/2 hours which was plenty. Drinks were extra, we shared a bottle of wine and thought this was great value with a great selection. You can stay in the restaurant and watch the game or move outside and watch the match. Staff were friendly and made sure our plates were cleared. Overall enjoyed and would do again.

Dined during a football game - nothing special. While I appreciate the convenience of this restaurant, the dishes were average at best. For the price they charge, the menu needs work!

Went there last night, at $57 per person to get bland tasteless food and over priced drinks. This was the worst food I have ever had in my life. Would rather eat from the gutter next time !

We were at Etihad for a game last night. Thought we would have dinner at The Carvery but what a disappointment. At $57 a head it was a major waste of money. We had just sat down when we were advised to grab some cold seafood (which was utterly tasteless) as it was almost all gone. The main was roast beef or Turkey, roast potatoes and lots at salads. The dessert was just a small table of trifle, one cream cake, tiny cupcakes and popcorn smothered in a crumbly soft 'toffee' that was really awful. Never again!
