AI Summary

Lilydale family bistro famed for kangaroo entrée, lamb risotto and generous steaks.

Busy, warmly lit family-run dining room with a full à la carte menu; some diners find the décor a little dated but the room fills up on weekend nights.

Family-owned and run (Hok, Vivienne and Ken), generous portion sizes, birthday cake service, and a strictly enforced no-photography-of-diners policy.

Blends Italian technique (pasta, risotto, parma) with Australian ingredients (kangaroo, barramundi); reviewers debate whether it reads as Italian, Australian or Hong Kong-influenced.

Budget-friendly price level for genuinely generous serves. most reviewers call it excellent value, though a couple felt pricing didn't match the experience.
