Fodor's Review:

Local seafood and native ingredients have top billing at this elegant spot that specializes in bush dining. Try the Australian antipasto platter of emu pâté, crocodile wontons, and smoked salmon for starters, followed by kangaroo sirloin with quandong-chili glaze. Some dishes have a Pacific Rim flavor, like the tea-smoked duck with mango or the twice-cooked pork. Red Ochre's signature dessert, wattleseed pavlova with Davidson plum sorbet, makes a fine finish; or you can linger and sip a glass of Australian wine while nestled into a violet velvet booth.

Locals seem to like it and we did, too. Largely local stuff: bugs (don't ask, just eat them), emu, venison,local seafood and so on.
