    As a diabetic, I have to watch my sugar levels. Sadly wherever I go the only choice COLA regardless of the brand. Unfortunately this drink is far from my favourite. Having an alternative like a sugar free cordial to go with a soda water is a good alternative. This just seems to be a industry wide problem.

    We had the 2 course plus one beverage option. Both my husband and I loved the food. Service is excellent and it’s so convenient before seeing a QPAC show. The only fault was minor, and it was that I would have preferred a vegetable option for sides rather than just a salad and fries options.
    LyrebirdResponded today
    Thank you for your lovely review, Karen! We are so glad you and your husband enjoyed your meal and had a great experience with our service. We appreciate your feedback on the sides and will certainly take this into consideration moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon for another wonderful pre-show dining experience! Kind regards, The Lyrebird Team

    While normally this venue is for those seeing a show at QPAC, this venue is also excellent for any occasion. All of the dishes we ordered were at the perfect portion for sharing, well seasoned, and fresh. The servers were also happy to accomodate us as we were the last ones out for the evening. We will happily visit again
