Darley’s Restaurant at Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa – Blue Mountains

Delicious experience

Food is great but portions are TINY. I didn't expect to have a feast but I left this place literally starving. For the price tag, I expect not to go back home and Look for something to eat in the cupboard. Oh and I'm not a massive guy that eats like a lion. Shame because I really enjoyed the food.

Now this is a top experience. Beautiful building and setting with great service and even better food. Only letdown was the lovely bottle of wine we ordered should have been decanted off the sediment. Not cheap but if you want a great dinner you have to pay ( even though it is not cheap I still consider it to be better VALUE than other so called fine dining restaurants

The place itself is visually stunning as you enter the old building and see the interior too however the spacing between the tables can be slightly narrow and servers are sometimes in each other’s way. The food here was great with special mention to the wagyu steak and the scallop entree but ultimately isn’t really worth the price for what you receive. The quality doesn’t quite make up for the lack of quantity. The servers were great with explaining the dishes however we did get someone who was new and she did make mistakes with our drink but the Asian waitress was quick to support her. The music played was quite interesting as they played acoustic versions of modern songs which makes for quite a good atmospheric feeling. However there was a waitress who was quite boisterous and kinda killed the vibe. The place was very nice and we’re glad we tried it at least.

Even though we were seated inside with no view of the garden, we appreciated the beautiful atmosphere in the restaurant. Food is superb - beautifully presented and every course was enjoyable. We had a super "perfunctory" waitress but we could see that other waiting staff were friendly and attentive. All in all would be very happy to go back.
