Reviews for York on Lilydale
Christy Shadbolt
We had dinner in the bistro with a group of my son's friends for his birthday on 22/11/25. All the staff were great and our meals were good, but there was one staff member in particular who made our night better. A lady by the name of Michelle was working and she was so smiling and friendly throughout the night despite my 17 turning 18 year old and his mates being a bit rowdy. She was very efficient and organised the cake, plates etc after we'd finished our meals. Given the large quantity of meals, on a very busy night, the timing of service was quite impressive. I also know that by the time we left at closing, Michelle had had a very long day as she was there in the morning when I dropped the cake off so to maintain such a friendly and professional demeanor was much appreciated.

My family and I visited the collective to have dinner, we are a very large family and it can be quite daunting going out into the wilderness. The York made us all feel very welcome and the food was great. We also had the pleasure of meeting jayson. What a guy and what a cook. Will definitely be returning.

Went into the bistro to have lunch while we caught up with family. It was nice and the food was nice as well, the food was well priced and same with the drinks. This is where it stops, the toilet smelled like they hadn't been cleaned in a week and there was still food under clean tables. The other thing that was a bit rude was right at the end, we got told to leave as they were closing to get ready for the dinner side and were cleaning up around us and taking drinks that weren't finished. I may come back to see if it has changed.

Had dinner at The York on Lilydale over the weekend and honestly, it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We were lucky enough to have a quick chat with the chef, Jason, who was absolutely lovely and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell when someone really cares about the food they’re sending out — everything from the presentation to the flavours was spot on. I ordered the hoisin lamb ribs (tender, sticky, and full of flavour) and my partner had the beef curry, which was rich, perfectly spiced, and super comforting. Jason even came out to check how everything was, which you don’t see often these days. It’s so nice to see a chef who takes pride in both the food and the experience. Big compliments to the team — we’ll definitely be back!
