I asked for a glass of red which gave the waitress a shock apparently, I mean fair enough I’m a rough looking guy. The service was marvelous though, the service staff had exceptional knowledge of the food and took their time explaining what was in various sauces and even what lime sugar was. The view of the city from my table was terrific as was the overall atmosphere. Great place to people watch, very varied clientele.

We walked from Melbourne Exhibition and convention centre all along the Yarra looking for a Restaurant to have dinner and came across Ludlow and were so pleased to have chosen this restaurant. There was a good vibe with cool music, great customer service and great food. We had the prawn skewer and bread for entree and then Swordfish, Beef Rib, and Crab Linguine for mains. All the food we ordered was yummy and our Waitress Rachel was extremely polite, friendly and knowledgeable on helping us select our food with a fantastic smile. Keep up the good work Ludlow.

We recently dined at Ludlow Bar, drawn in by its stunning location by the Yarra River and promising views. The ambiance was indeed impressive, with a lovely view of the river and a prime location. However, our experience took a downturn when it came to the food. We ordered calamari and beef rum, but unfortunately, both dishes were disappointing. The calamari was overcooked and rubbery, lacking the freshness that we were hoping for. The beef rum was also underwhelming, lacking flavor and tenderness. The presentation was decent, but the taste just did not meet our expectations. It was disappointing to have such a letdown with the food, especially after being drawn in by the location and views. The service was average, nothing to write home about but not terrible either. If you're looking for a fresh and delicious meal, we would not recommend Ludlow Bar based on our experience. It's possible that other menu items may be better, but our experience with the calamari and beef rum was disappointing. Hopefully, the management will take note and work on improving the quality of their dishes to match the scenic views.

Can’t really go wrong with a parma at a place like this though I didn’t much care for the side of slaw. They should just move the chips onto that space of the plate rather than under the chicken so it’s actually easy to eat. Decent sized serving Update Visited Ludlow last night pre going to the ballet and whilst it wasn’t our first choice of venue it was the one that would take us given absolute insanely hectic scenes all the way along Southbank. Festive season celebrations are certainly in full swing! I ordered a beef burger which was a little dry and came with a pedestrian like slaw which I didn’t touch. Not the speediest service but understandable given it was quite busy. Overall an average meal Original review I've been here many times on account of living metres away for five or so years and it's always consistent paired with the lovely ambience you get from being located riverside. The bar food is well priced with a decent selection and no complaints on taste however the desserts are the standout. I personally can't resist ordering multiple. Great atmosphere particularly if you are seated outdoors.
