Real Australian beers, contemporary cuisine and lively environs make for a memorable evening at this restaurant founded by three native Aussies. Kangaroo skewers are on the menu (and worth a try), but Eight Mile Creek thankfully is devoid of koala bears, boomerangs and fried onion appetizers. "Although Eight Mile Creek is now one of a half-dozen Australian joints on the Lower East Side, it still remains among the most authentic. The menu is a great intro to contemporary Australian cooking with native staples like crisp-skinned barramundi fillet, pan-seared rack of lamb, and char-grilled filet mignon paired with creamed spinach and "proper chips" (chunky-cut fries with the skin left on).
