We came for a late lunch and had a few smaller dishes, they were all fantastic. Everything was so delicious, we had the focaccia with pumpkin tahini, the romana beans, chipotle chicken and the arancini. Some of the tastiest food weβve had in Melbourne. Itβs a great location on the beach and has a nice vibe. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options.
Plenty of tasty celiac safe, gluten free options available.
Absolutely blown away by the service we received from Georgia, she was an absolute gem from start, attention to detail, and natural hospitality made us feel completely at home. She kept our drinks topped up all night without us even needing to ask, which made the entire evening feel so smooth and relaxed. Amazing recommendations for the seafood and steak, knows the menu so well and helped with dietaries.
From the moment we walked into Suburban Rooftop, we were treated like VIPs. The customer service was hands-down some of the best Iβve ever experienced at a restaurant. Every staff member we encounteredβfrom the host to the serversβwas warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
We arrived a little early for our reservation, but the hostess was incredibly accommodating and got us seated with a great view almost immediately. Our server came over right away, introduced herself with a smile, and took the time to walk us through the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. She checked in often, but never in an intrusive wayβjust the perfect balance of attentiveness and giving us space to enjoy our evening.
Even when the restaurant started getting busier, the quality of service never slipped. Our water glasses were always full, empty plates cleared promptly, and our food was brought out at just the right pace. The manager even stopped by our table to ask how everything was, which really showed that they care about their guests' experiences.
One of the highlights was how accommodating the staff were to dietary needsβour friend has a gluten allergy, and the kitchen went above and beyond to customize a dish for her without hesitation.
Itβs clear that customer satisfaction is a priority at Suburban Rooftop. Not only is the food excellent and the ambiance stunning, but the people truly make it a five-star experience. In an industry where great service can be hard to come by, Suburban Rooftop sets the bar high. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just grabbing dinner with friends, this place is a must-visit. Weβll definitely be back soon!

Absolutely blown away! For what started as an impulse visit ended in black sheep becoming one of the best eating experiences I've ever had. Menu is well rounded with plenty of gluten free and vegan options,service is absolutely lovely,huge shoutout to Rose for lovely table service and suggestions,hats off to everyone involved
Lovely view and delicious food, the gluten free pizzas was really really good never had gluten free pizza like it! Seemed exactly like normal pizza. tacos were really nice and food was all good sizes
A varied brunch menu (many interesting egg dishes) & a great selection of cakes. The orange cake was gluten-free & lush, but could have been sweeter. Very subjective :-)
The rest of us ate main courses, all of which were good. Mine was chicken & mushroom risotto, nicely cooked & presented. Excellent flavor. Caesar Salad is a generous serve, prawn linguine smelled good.
Service is polite, enthusiastic, very friendly... & incompetent. On Sunday afternoon I am very laid back. The wait staff are all late teens- but even allowing for that - oh my. We were delivered other people's dinner or drinks not once or twice, but six times. I think three different waiters did this.
I've been a waiter. We didn't complain (they were genuinely honest mistakes, really nice staff, it was brunch, let's get over ourselves). But six times?
I checked the bill carefully. It was right. We tipped :-) But check that the plate you receive is the one you actually ordered.
Would I go back? Absolutely
Love this place. They offer coeliac options but wish they would mention this on the menu. Gluten free club sandwich was excellent in quality and quantity. The cherry individual dessert cake from the cabinet was decadent and very delish but crazy priced at $16.50!
One star off for the tiny cocktail glasses altho the cocktails themselves were yummy.
Stopped in for lunch. Staff were super friendly.
Their own beer and drinks were really good.
Gluten free pizza was absolutley delicious.
Good gluten-free beer options, also.
I asked for Gluten free bread for a Ham, Cheese, & Tomato toastie and was disappointed. I had to pay an extra $4.00 for gluten free bread. There was no salt or pepper on the toastie, and limited fillings. No taste EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTEDβ¦. Price: $16.50
Had an AMAZING Cheeseburger today βΊοΈ the beef was cooked perfectly, salad and cheese were very fresh, sauce paired perfectly and all was encased in the best tasting gluten free bun Iβve tasted yet!
Staff were very friendly and helpful
The menu had quite a few gluten free options which for me (coeliac disease) was great βΊοΈ
A bottle of Tarot Prosecco went down a treat as well π
