The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 10 threads.
What people say, in short
Reine & La Rue is recommended by most who name it, above all for its setting. Several praise the beautiful, decadent room, and a few also praise the service. Several suggest it for dates or special nights out, with one diner calling their anniversary meal there the best dining they have had in Melbourne, and two mention the steak. Value is the caveat: one commenter finds the room stunning but otherwise unimpressive, one who has not eaten there feels much of the price goes toward the setting, and one found the food good but not worth the cost.
