Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect food and perfect service. Every dish that came out was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. And that lychee martini was divine. I’ve read other reviews mentioning a ‘Scottish waiter’ and it is true, Fraser was a deadset legend and made our night so enjoyable....He radiated happiness and our kids loved his cheeky banter. I’ve actually never written a TripAdvisor review before but I just felt like I needed to after our delightful night at LadyBird last night.More

This place is great ! We had a lovely Scottish waiter who looked after us with great service and friendly banter .. We tried the short rib , the spicy Shezuan chicken , seafood spaghettini , and Pork Belly .. with a fabulous SA Shiraz...and a beautiful Veronese P Grigio wine to share the meal with .. We used to stay at the Versace every year and never tried this restaurant.. no idea why .. but it was our loss ! Now we know what we were missing ..and will be back !More

From being greeted at the door to the service, food, music, and friendly staff it was a 5 star Melbourne Cup event. We loved the ambience and location on the water front on the balcony. We will be back for a lunch or dinner.

I realized yesterday at Ladybird why I don't normally attend cup lunches. This was a very disappointing experience,bad food, poor service and very poorly organized. We won't be back here in a hurry that's for sure.

Outstanding service!! Best I’ve had in a long long time by our lovely Scottish waiter! He made the night not a complete disaster as the food was INEDIBLE!! I’m a salt lover - I put salt on everything but the food was so salty none...of us could eat it. The kids meal, the chicken and the pasta - all inedible. They made it again and it was still inedible!!! I suspect MSG. So disappointing as we’d heard amazing things!! I have to give you guys a low score sorry - despite the exceptional service!!More

The service at this restaurant was super friendly and efficient. We had a great pre-dinner cocktail & 3 courses. Mixed cold oyster platter was superb. Mains of lamb shoulder & pork belly followed by the best deserts! The crème brûlée was amazing. If anything could...be faulted, possibly the service was a bit too fast. The oysters came before we finished our cocktail & we we hoping to enjoy them with champagne.More

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dining at the Ladybird Restaurant at Main Beach was an unforgettable culinary journey! Their Asian Fusion menu is a masterful blend of flavors, textures, and aromas that tantalize the taste buds and leave you craving for more. Each dish was a testament to the...chef's creativity and passion, taking us on a gastronomic adventure that was truly out of this world. The ambiance of the restaurant only added to the magic of the evening. Perfectly situated overlooking the serene marina, it offers a picturesque backdrop that complements the exquisite dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a memorable evening out, Ladybird Restaurant is the place to be. The gentle glow of the setting sun, the soft lull of the waves, and the delectable flavors of their menu come together to create an atmosphere that's both romantic and relaxed. In a world filled with dining options, Ladybird stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to new heights!More

Spectacular view of the Marina at sunset. We were welcomed by the staff who gave us a friendly and very professional service. The menu is fusion-cuisine, and I ordered spaghetti al dente (cooked like in Italy) seasoned with an Asian-inspired prawns sauce: really tasty! The...wine list offers a good selection at a very competitive prices compared to other local upmarket restaurants. I do recommend this place.More

Why can't I pick 10 stars?? This restaurant is amazing and without doubt the best on the Coast. We've enjoyed Palette and most of the other fine dining restaurants on the Coast but Ladybird beats them all with flavor, quality, service and atmosphere. Located outside...the former Versace hotel near Marina Mirage, across the road from the Sheraton Hotel, this is my number one recommendation for superb delicious well presented food, and the prices are just right for this quality and the premium waterfront location. Bottles of wine are reasonably priced and excellent quality. Everything is wonderful but the duck spring rolls are out of this world with superb flavor, texture and freshness. I'm not normally a fan of spring rolls but these are worth every cent, and I doubt I'll ever experience anything better. But I love everything here and truly believe their shared salmon dish is the ultimate salmon meal. OMG, the flavours are superb. This could very well be the best restaurant in Australia. 10 golden stars!!More
