    We absolutely loved our meal and experience at Lyrebird. The meals were delicious and great value, it was the best piece of Barra I've had in a long time. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing but not too loud so you could talk and enjoy your meal. Thank you ! We will be back.

    Palette restaurant was the most exquisite experience of dining I have ever had. The food was sublime, the service was impeccable and impressive. It was the perfect dining experience for my boyfriend and I. The raw scallops were creamy and delicious and delicate. The duck just melted in your mouth and the dessert of smoked apple ice cream was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be eating there again soon.
