Food was overall great, the 300g juiciest and most tender scotch fillet with the cafe de Paris sauce really hit the spot. The rolled lamb shoulder was also very nice. Good choices of sides. Hope they don't change the menu too much. Our waitress was amazing throughout the whole night and the atmosphere was great.

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.

Didn’t know what to expect from this spot given the tourist trap location but it was surprisingly good. The service was a bit spotty but the drink selection is pretty good and the food was great. I especially liked the crab pasta and the lamb skewers.

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.

Bar / restaurant located along the strip of touristy places next to the river at Southbank. Stopped in for a quick drink only, so can’t comment on the food however the location is great and service was fine. Will be back for dinner to check out the full experience.
