    I love Lyrebird ambience and last night ‘s service was excellent . However , the Italian menu is not matched with good , authentic Italian cooking . Why use matured cheese when you could be using parmigiano reggiano? Cooking just not up to standard for an upmarket eatery .

    Service is always professional & prompt. Glass of Bird in Hand & oysters to share as a starter were excellent. Sadly the set menu special is no longer available, so it was not such good value.

    Very disappointed that main course took way longer to arrive than should have … especially when the wait staff assured us that will have us out in time for the show. Had to follow up to where our meals were … ended up leaving food and gulping down our wine. A $200 disappointment.

    Arrived at 5:40 for our dinner reservation and received our main course 6:35 almost an hour after we sat down. We then had to gulp it down so we could get upstairs for the show at 7:00. Very very slow.

    Arriving at 5.45pm the Lyrebird was packed. We wondered if we would get fed in time. No worries. Great food, nice wine, friendly efficient service. They asked when our show started so everything was timed well. Always impressed how they pump out consistently high quality food in a very short space of time. 10/10 Lyrebird team!
