   The staff were very accommodating when we called to advise that we would be late due to traffic and parking issues. The convenience of the location was a major factor why we booked the Lyrebird. We have eaten there before, and the food was delicious. However, on Saturday night the food was definitely below par. The choices were poor. The prawn rolls were 'a sloppy and tasteless mess'. The barramundi was very ordinary and tasteless. I probably go to the Lyrebird again based on our experience of Saturday night.

   We had the high tea before the ballet matinee. It was raining so we were so pleased to be inside in a nice environment with good food and glass of bubbles. The food was plentiful and good quality. The service was excellent. A very enjoyable experience.

   It is always wonderful to enjoy a high tea at Lyrebird before a show at QPAC. Lovely selection of sweet and savoury items, bubbles, tea or coffee. What's not to like.

   I’ve experienced your hi-tea a number of times & twice this year alone. While I certainly believe it is value for money & the cloth tablecloths & serviettes + menu do add to that special experience. However, I believe there are a couple of areas which could be improved. The hi tea plate stand doesn’t graduate in size as do most. Therefore I would suggest finger sandwiches & savoury quiche on base, then scones etc -middle & top tier - sweets. The addition of paper doilies on the top tier may help to add to a more inviting appearance for the sweets. I didn’t mention the potatoe fried item as not one diner has enjoyed this. Instead a small cake could bee added to the sweets. A final touch would be the addition of a set of tongs for each platter - all adds to a very special experience.

   This Southbank gem continues to raise its existing high standard in terms of quality, service and price. It is the perfect location for a special dinner occasion in Brisbane, or a night out at QPAC.

   Lyrebird is the perfect place to complement your QPAC experience. It takes the stress out of arriving late, whilst relaxing with a glass of bubbles and delicious high tea. The food, ambience and staff are all exceptional. You never feel rushed and can arrive stress free ready for the ballet/concert/show next door. We always book here beforehand and look forward to continuing our tradition.

   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 .
