| - Graze has got to be Madison's first Foodie Restaurant. I remember when Graze was just a concept of Executive Chef Tory and his team. To get such amazing food combinations you had to dine at L'Etoile or their sister restaurant, Cafe Soleil.
Ever since the move, Graze and L'Etoile have been an epic pair to serve two different clientele some of the most inventive and delicious food. But I regress... this review is about Graze.
Graze is all about local, sustainable and Deeelicious Food! While I have not experienced this restaurant as many times as other restaurants in town, it is something special to me and I cherish the moments I have with it.
I recall my first visit was very clinical... I checked out the menu in a random selection process and paired my beverages with it. I love the selection and size of the menus as they allow you to share and enjoy with friends or create a great meal that will leave anyone satisfied. I was with a friend for a late lunch so I sampled.
We started out with the Meats and Pickled Boards. The meats were so delicate and served with basic yet complimentary tasters and bread; while I am a sucker for pickled veggies, my friend really went to town on the meats board. There were many other snacker size plates and to plate them in such variety makes me smile. After getting our palates started we both got the rest of our meal and if I recall right, it was a great way to start the afternoon.
My most recent visit I shall not forget because it was a day to celebrate and of firsts. This time was more formal and for a dinner date; we both got amazing entrees to which neither of us wanted to share our selection as we were both so enthralled them. The dinner ended with a roasted bone marrow! It was new to me and I definitely enjoyed the experience however I will keep it as a treat cause it can't be healthy, but oh so tasty. And we did add the Luge option which gives you a spot of sherry to rinse the bone and its delicious juices down on to your taste buds. Quite the experience, and many passerby's thought so too.
Graze is rustic with earth tones, farm accents, and a beautiful view of the capitol. The capitol view, with its expansive lawns and majestic trees, only completes the picturesque rustic Wisconsin yet downtown dining experience. A sure place to WOW anyone visiting the city.
Overall, I would highly recommend Graze if wanting a downtown experience with big city flair. There is something for everyone and even brunch to make up for closing Cafe Soleil, which it does many times over. I know that my next visit will definitely include the Graze Burger, my curiosity beckons.
