Waiter weaving more lies around top of menu (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sommelier

'waiter' is the definition.
(sommelier is a kind of waiter)

'weaving more lies around top of menu' is the wordplay.
'weaving' indicates an anagram.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'top of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'menu' is 'm'.
'more'+'lies'='morelies'
'morelies' with letters rearranged gives 'somelier'.
'somelier' enclosing 'm' is 'SOMMELIER'.

(Other definitions for sommelier that I've seen before include "Expert" , "One removes a capsule before opening" , "Server of drink" , "part of restaurant staff" , "Wine steward" .)
