It’s worth mentioning that Graze Restaurant, along with the boutique pub and the Willow Tree Inn where it’s located, is owned by Charles and Cheryl Hanna, who also manage the 6,000-acre Black Angus cattle farm that supplies the restaurant. For a small town with a population of only 308, Graze Restaurant impressively stands out. The dining experience is exceptional.

It has a lovely atmosphere and is a great spot to relax. The steak was fantastic, but I was a bit disappointed to find out they charged an additional $2.50 for sauce, especially on a $60-70 steak, and they also charge extra for salad, which didn't seem necessary.

Magnificent aged beef 30 Oct, 2014 Best Steaks around. Have driven past The Willow Tree a fair few times but not had the opportunity to stop and enjoy a meal despite being often recommended to me. All changed yesterday afternoon when I had the chance to book accommodation on site and stay for an evening meal. I was advised by a fellow diner that the rump was a stand out piece of meat that despite how you like it cooked, they can 't **** it up . After a few nice cold beers I ordered a rare rump and vegetables as a side. The steak was nothing short of outstanding. Cooked to perfection and obviously aged and seasoned to enhance its eating quality. The vegetables were fresh,beautifully cooked and presented on a separate heated bowl. The meal was washed down with a couple of great reds by the glass. Best country restaurant meal I have experienced in a long time.
