I hope this is not a repeat as I'm certain I posted a review of this restaurant a couple of days ago! Oh well, here I go at the risk of repeating myself lol. We chose this restaurant as we had heard from locals that we could get crocodile on the menu. The croc was very disappointing as it arrived... more

The food was beautifully prepared and it was very fun to sample all the different bush tucker. Great for a visitor to Australia who wants to splurge a bit to try kangaroo, emu, etc. It was a bit expensive for dinner, so I would probably only do the whole thing once. more

We opted for the Taste of Australia menu that indulged our touristy desire to eat exotic foods we can’t get at home. We were very impressed! The dishes were effective at introducing and highlighting exotic flavors and ingredients (emu, wattleseeds, lemon aspen, etc) without appearing too gimmicky or overproduced.

I had a wonderful lunch @ Red Ochre Grill. salad, main, dessert...every single dish were tasty and looks beautiful too. My favourite was Emu spring roll with whipping sauce. I was very comfortable about their service as well. I would love to have a dinner next time. more

Very good at lunch - love the house salad, decent fries, prawn meat on sugar cane sticks, platters for two. Friendly but not overwhelming service. Airconditioning, banquette, perfect for a business or relaxed meal. more

Immaculately presented meals, delicious! more
