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 we’ve had in Melbourne. It’s a great location on the beach and has a nice vibe. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options.
From the moment we walked into Suburban Rooftop, we were treated like VIPs. The customer service was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. Every staff member we encountered—from the host to the servers—was 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 way—just 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 needs—our friend has a gluten allergy, and the kitchen went above and beyond to customize a dish for her without hesitation.
It’s 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. We’ll 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
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.
Had a lovely high tea, with a great view. We had two toddlers with us and they were able to provide high chairs for us. The gluten free high tea was comparable to the regular high tea in variety and quantity. The biggest letdown was the ‘scones’ which had definitely been made in a muffin tin and were much closer to the consistency of cake than scones. Such a shame because scones are such a traditional part of a high tea.
Celiac friendly
