    This was a fine dining experience to compliment an evening at the Lyric Theatre with friends. We chose the $75 package of a choice of any 2 of the 3 course options plus a drink of our own choice. The Maitre de was exceptional in having us seated promptly. The waiters were prompt in attending to our needs. The meals were beautifully presented, tasty and fulfilling. We have been before and will attend again.

    Our waitress, Alexandra, was absolutely amazing and attentive. She was quite knowledgeable and answered all our questions be it about the food or wine. We had an amazing night and we have Alexandra to thank for that. She is most definitely an asset to your team.

    This is my second experience at Lyrebird. The only thing that really put me off this time was that the main meal was not as advertised. The basil pasta was to be with Pippies and Clams. There was ONLY pippies and they were very shrivelled up and in small amount. The wait staff are amazing, both occasions I had the same waitress and she was fabulous!
    LyrebirdResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for dining with us again, Megan! We're delighted to hear that our wait staff provided exceptional service and that you enjoyed the oysters. However, we are sorry to hear that the basil pasta dish did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to our kitchen team for review. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable experience soon. Kind regards, The Lyrebird Team

    Dinner before Penn & Teller show. Service excellent and food was spot on. We were not waiting for anything and very happy with the whole experience from arrival to leaving. Considered good value for money and we were finished with plenty of time to get to the concert hall and our seating for the show. No hesitatiin to go there again.
