Three of us enjoyed our beautiful Mon lady evening meal at the Royal Oak with a great atmosphere all around. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and service was very quick. The food was quite good and pricewise quite normal for that area of Melbourne.

The international buffet was impressive, but it lacked a vegetarian curry. It would have been great to see some Indian vegetable curries like Dal or Paneer Makhani for vegetarian guests. That being said, the overall experience was excellent, the ambiance was outstanding, and the service was commendable.
