    Food was not as good as I have had in the past .. no wow moment. The fish I had was lovely and the oyster fresh but my daughter's pasta was a little too hard and she couldn't eat. We also waited a long time between courses and although we arrived at our 6pm slot on time Oysters came at 6.40 and dinner around 7.10. Given that we had to be at a 7.30 performance any decision to add on a dessert was decided for us. It was meant to be a celebration but felt we were an inconvenience. A shame as normally written great reviews about here

    Mixed review for the food. Beautiful gnocchi, disappointing steak. Mixed review for waitstaff, very attentive waiter initially seating us, very disinterested waitress servicing us for the night. Overall, not a bad experience but not great either.

    The Lyrebird restaurant is so convenient when going to a show, food has always been good, and value for money. Service is good but could be a little better, just a check in to see that everything is ok, or if you need another drink. I enjoy going to the Lyrebird Restaurant.

    Good to see the old school etiquette dining still around. Lovely service and food was delicious, but food came way to quick. Got the feeling of being pushed out to quickly.
