Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Cleveland, Brisbane

Here’s a more detailed version: We had an exceptional dining experience at Lyrebird Restaurant and would happily return. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a leisurely meal before or after a show. The crab spaghetti was the standout dish—fresh, generous with the crab, and perfectly balanced with a light, flavourful sauce that allowed the seafood to shine. It was paired with a beautiful red wine that complemented the meal perfectly. For dessert, the tiramisu was outstanding: light, creamy, and rich in flavour without being overly sweet. Finishing with a smooth, well-made latte rounded off the evening perfectly. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, attentive, and professional. We felt genuinely looked after from the moment we arrived until we left. Overall, an excellent restaurant that delivers on every level—food, wine, atmosphere, coffee, and service. It was worth every dollar, and I would highly recommend Lyrebird Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. We will definitely be back.

A stunning meal (the scallop entree and swordfish main) in a lovely space with perfectly non-intrusive but very attentive service 10/10!

We enjoyed it, great food and coffee and tea. Last day of Aussie native menu.

I was so impressed with our hostess, there was a staff member off and she managed on her own, making sure everything ran smoothly and were made to feel welcome. There were a few glitches, no fault of hers, and she handled them in a caring and professional manner. Glitches can happen, it's how they're dealt with that matters and the whole group was impressed. I would also like to say how impressed I was with a phone call, prior to the day, to see if any of our party had mobility issues as the lift was out of service. This is exceptional service and certainly made our day a lot easier and comfortable. Another shout out to the concierge staff on the day, they also went above and beyond. Thank you
