Short story: Eat at Graze, and you will NOT be disappointed.
Long story: We ate at Graze because it was unfortunately on our list of restaurants we have not yet tried in Madison. (Not sure why it was on that list for so long?!) I love the fact that a restaurant is so committed and concerned to working with local farmers to cook with local, quality ingredients.
We ate the deviled eggs and pork buns for appetizers and the graze burger and cauliflower rigatoni for entrees. Everything was incredible: very fresh-tasting, cooked perfectly and completely delicious. If you're an egg fiend like me, the deviled egg appetizer might make you scream because it's so tasty.
My only complaint is that the house white wine was very bubbly and almost champagne-y, and I didn't know that when I ordered it. The bartender and the menu did not mention anything about that. I can't complain too much because my wine glass was empty at the end of dinner! :-)
Graze is now on my "take out-of-town guests here so they can be impressed with Madison" list along with The Old Fashioned, Eldorado Grill, and a few other Madison favorites. :-)
Great location with big windows. It's a classy and contemporary (but not stuffy) place to go for incredible food downtown!
We'll definitely go back.
