What people say, in short
Most who mention Vue de Monde recommend it, often for a special night. Several diners praise the food and service, four mention the city views, and diners recall an anniversary and events held there. It is not unanimous: three diners call it pricey, two find the cooking generic and not distinctly Melbourne, and two say it has become less interesting or left them disappointed. One diner says the menu changes too rarely to revisit often, and one who has not been has heard it is more style than substance.
