Venue is overbooked. Too rowdy. Not enough food to go around. Many guests did not get a seat to sit down.

We attended the NYE event and really enjoyed our night. We were lucky to get one of the best seats in the house with a great view of the fireworks. Wait staff were amazing, they really did try their best and, despite some upset guests, maintained a really upbeat and friendly attitude for the duration of the evening. We had plenty of alcohol, available through both wait staff and the bar. Unfortunately we didn't get to try everything on the menu as we were tucked away. Probably half of the menu items made it out to us, but what we did eat was unbelievably delicious! Recommendation - I understand that all seats were taken before the 9.30pm start time. It would be a much more sensible idea to only sell as many tickets as you have seats available. Standing for over 3 hours, most of the time in walkways, does not make for a good experience. We will be back!
The QResponded on January 17, 2023Hi Lyndal, Glad to hear you enjoyed the evening! Thank you for your recommendation - we shall be looking at capping the numbers or restructuring the event for the next one. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thanks,

Off course the place was packed for NYE!. However, there were people trying to fit in the small spaces as there were not enough tables or chairs for everyone. it was kind of awkward. The food, well, we only had two bites! and not, we are not exaggerating at all. Everyone was trying to get a piece of the canapes, but it wasn't enough food for everyone. The food was always served in the same areas, maybe for people they knew? We were asking the waitress to bring food and then they brought 2 pieces of canapes for 4 people. When I tried to grab another piece, she said I couldn't! It was too expensive for what it really was. Drinks were included and they put the drinks in one table for everyone which was good. Otherwise, we would still be waiting for a drink. The place is nice, but not worth the money. At least not for this occasion. The 'fireworks' well.. we had to see the reflection from the buildings because you can't actually see them..
The QResponded on January 17, 2023Thank you for your feedback for the NYE event. Here at the Q we strive to create fantastic guests experiences, hence, it's such a shame for us to hear you weren't able to sample all of the food nor properly see the fireworks whilst entering the new year. For future events we be sure to look at capping the numbers and ensuring we address the size and amount of canapes provided. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

An unbelievably bad experience- so bad it is laughable. The gross disorganisation resulted in chaos… but one couldn’t help feeling sorry for the staff who had to put up with the countless complaints and requests for food and beverage that they just couldn’t deliver Initial bookings and promises of designated seating were canned on arrival at the event as it became all too difficult. We were advised the day before the event to arrive at 8.30 if we wanted a seat even though we had reserved a table for 9.30 weeks in advance - red flags from the beginning but it only got worse! The wait staff rarely made it to our section and when they did there was little food, if any, left on the tray - people before us were grabbing as much as they could realising it would be a long wait for their return! A drink waiter did take an order about 30 minutes after our arrival but we never saw him or the drinks again, we resorted to lining up at the bar, only to watch orders disappear to ransoms walking past and grabbing them from the bar as they were being poured - as a result we resorted to sourcing whatever drinks we could through similar means. For my $150 outlay I managed to hunt down a handful of canapé (10 pieces to be exact), 3 beers and a g&t - but that was only after countless requests to wait staff to bring food to our section, then seeking out one of the event coordinators to explain what less happening in our section, and by sourcing my own drinks through various means! I’m hindsight, we should have joined the queue walking out and demanding a refund but foolishly believed with the number leaving, and when all others had had their fill, the food/drinks would eventually filter through to us- hmmm wishful thinking, nothing that bad could ever improve! The Q events coordinator needs to be addressed for understaffing, under delivery and gross mismanagement of the event. An apology would be a starting point!

Having booked for this event, and based on the information provided, we and many other guests we spoke to were very disappointed and dissatisfied with this event. There were a number of issues which caused quite a bit of friction and frustration: Food - many of us were expecting a sit down meal in a table setting. Sadly this was not the case. It was also canape's. After waiting for 2 hours around 10:30 pm, all we had been served was 2 oysters and a prawn. It was very hard to get food and it was never enough, when it came out, it was simply snapped up when leaving the kitchen meaning it was never delivered to all the guests. Seating - there was just not enough and the space was too small Views - very limited views of the fireworks . Its not what was promised Toilets - 3 toilets for over 150 people , they were filthy by midnight Alcohol - this was good, always enough if you went to help yourself. Service - all the staff tried their best, and were very friendly, but you could see they were really battling We wont be back based on this experience

Everyone made the new years booking expecting a seated dinner, instead there was a flying buffet and not even enough tables and chairs for everyone! The size of the portions were way to small and it was not everything served that was on the menu, absolute disaster!

We were here for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately it seems that the venue was not prepared for all the people who had booked the NYE package and struggled to deliver enough food to satisfy everyone. We went home hungry and I know we weren't the only ones -- the tables beside us were complaining about it too, we didn't get served several of the canapes on the menu and when we did get served it was disappointing to not have plates and to have to eat things off our hands. Flavours were good but the rate at which we were served was so disappointing that it ruined what could have been a brilliant night. I hope they can take this feedback on board as they sound like they have potential.
The QResponded on January 17, 2023Hi Maria, Thank you for your feedback for the NYE event. Here at the Q we strive to create fantastic guests experiences, hence, it's such a shame for us to hear we weren't able to meet your expectations nor you were unable to enjoy all of the canapes. Guaranteed we shall be ensuring future events contain no ambiguity regarding their description and hope to rectify any issues raised with the hope of providing you with a great experience in the near future.

You changed menu and seating arrangements, food was slow to be served as I don’t drink alcohol I was looking forward to the food but towards the end of the night I was ready to go to maccas for food, to slow in between serving of food. It seem like it was about the alcohol being served.

Barely had any items on the menu available and the menu was small enough already. People in the group came to try some specific items so we were pretty disappointed. Staff were lovely and very attentive.

The Q has a great happy hour with amazing views and small space so not too noisy. Temperature was great and overall staff were very nice. Manager (?) was frantic and stressed and brought down the mood, staff were well prepared and helpful, they didn't need her making sure things were being done. Drinks were delicious and food was ok, fancy but stomach had trouble digesting it. Overall, lovely venue.

We did not eat here, just stopped in for an after dinner cocktail. The place was very quiet, and had a relaxed vibe. Not a jumping energetic atmosphere if that's what you are looking for.

Celebrated my partners birthday with some pre dinner drinks and small bites. The cocktails were ok, the food was great. The price was a bit steep for what it was. But overall a nice experience.

Such a great spot, almost unknown to many. Great to watch people come in for the first time. Staff were great and food delicious. Great at upswell which meant a large bill at the end… no one’s fault but being over served.

Everything was great, same as my last visit. BUT it was a nasty surprise being charged $40 for 2 drinks that the waiter made it seem were complimentary drinks on arrival. He just said, would you like to try the G&T to start with and we said yes thinking they'd be small complimentary drinks. Otherwise the service and food was good, albeit expensive.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Food delish and not your regular High Tea. Only fault, sitting under the heater was far too hot. Did ask for it to be turned off to 3 different people and answer was yes. After asking again told it all turns off together which I found hard to believe.

Amazing location on the rooftop of the Quincy Hotel. Views were amazing and the bar has a great vibe. I can recommend the Quincy Sling cocktail. A hidden gem in the Melbourne CBD.
