Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked ahead after reading reviews and glad we did. An excellent menu but made it hard to choose! The scallops, octopus and smoked duck were delicious. A good wine list and very friendly atmosphere. Our French waitress, Luane, was friendly, efficient and attentive. The...chef / owner was very charismatic and hospitable…overall a 5* experience and highly recommended.More

This little unpretentious restaurant in Apollo Bay is not to be missed. The food is divine. Well cooked food that is beautifully presented. The chef is a character that adds to the ambiance too.

We visited Graze whilst on the great ocean road. Graze is a little tucked away in Apollo bay but well worth finding. From cocktails to dessert the food and the service was great. The flavours in the food were very good and we had a...really good experienceMore

There is great joy in finding a small hidden restaurant in a backstreet of a lovely place like Apollo Bay, and having it exceed all expectations. This was unequivocally the best food we’ve eaten anywhere between Adelaide and Melbourne. Locally sourced and prepared by a...chef who so obviously loves what he does. Our entree of chargrilled octopus terrined and delicately sliced, fresh from the bay served simply with a dash of EVOO and a sprig of dill was exquisite in its simplicity and a delight to the palate. Equally so the scallops in butter and Pernod. The duck breast main was lightly smoked and accompanied by roasted chestnuts and a crispy baby spring onion with a rich duck jus. It was melt in the mouth. A hearty venison osso bucco from locally harvested venison came with a beautifully judged potato mash and parsley and was satisfying and delicious. We shared the most delicate tangelo crème brûlée with raspberry jus, light, palate cleansing and the perfect way to finish an outstanding meal. There was an appropriate selection of wines and other drinks available. Our hostesses were friendly professional and welcoming and altogether it made for a special and wonderful dining experience.More

so good to eat in a place that serves top class food .We shared a dumpling entree, which was so fresh and not at all stodgy as dumplings can be. The mains were sensational (a steak and pork belly) and we shared a desert .All...the courses were beautifully presented and the service was immaculate in terms of giving you time to choose yet being prompt and attentive. In short could not fault it!More

Make a reservation to guarantee seating, Thursday night and they were very busy. Service was excellent. Good selection of cocktails . Wow dinner was excellent. We ordered pawns small plate followed by duck and my husband ordered the Venison. All three dishes were delicious, well...prepared and well done on the presentation. Definitely one of the best meals we had. We are finding some real hidden treasures outside the larger cities.More

Looked them up on TA and thought we would try them out. Good ratings! Had the empanadas for entree which were a spicy delicious. Missus had the duck and I had the hickory lamb. Tasted both and were superb! Presentation was excellent! Service was a...treat! Can see why people think they are excellent! Bit pricy but for us, well worth it! CheersMore

Let me start with the most important thing - the food was amazing. Flavoursome and generous. Entrees average around $14, mains between $33 (for a tofu salad) and $40ish for steak or lamb. We had the onion bhaji and marinated octopus for entree and the...steak and lamp rump for main. For drinks - a fabulous French martini and a bourbon and Coke. Total was $154. No dessert. The staff were friendly and professional. Service was really prompt too - and meals came out fresh and hot. So why not 5 stars you ask? It was very hot and very noisy - a full house for a Saturday night. With no ventilation or visible air conditioning, it was so hot we had to leave after mains. It was also incredibly loud - all hard services in the venue so the noise was epic. To be fair we didn’t complain or ask for the (visible) corner mounted fans to be turned on. We would return for the food but might not book for 7pm which seemed the busiest time.More
