Always lovely. A few small niceties have been stopped (like warm complimentary bread rolls with meals) but 2 course with wine deal is still good value and the food is always outstanding.

The food was excellent. When booking I was asked what the occassion was? I Answered Date. We were sat next to a party of 30 work function. It was very loud with people co mingling around. On arrival we were asked about dietary requirements. We answered chocolate for my wife. Dessert was ordered and there was no mention of chocolate, although when delivered it had chocolate biscuits on the plate. The two mains were placed in front of us and incorrectly identified when we asked is this the medium well steak? The medium well steak was actually medium rare and the medium rare steak was actually rare and in middle blue? These things could be improved. If you ask the question, deliver on the answers. We would give the Lyrebird another dinner opportunity as the food was excellent!
