| - I had dinner last night at Graze. As other reviewers have mentioned, the look was absolutely nothing like I had expected. Do not think Gastro-pub when you go there and you will have a much better experience. It is more like the upscale, urban restaurants of San Francisco, not cozy or pub-ish at all. After I got past my initial surprise, I was extremely pleased with the rest of our experience there. The wine list was good, although I think a few more California wines would be appropriate for this type of place and the entire menu was definitely short enough to digest easily (I hate restaurants with long menus). We had the pretzel which was very good although not all that 'unique', a very nice salad (albeit slightly saltier than necessary), and a pulled pork dish. The pulled pork was definitely the highlight. They had pork done 4 ways and the mac and cheese. Yum! We also got the hickory nut pie. Delicious and very cozy food.
The view is fantastic, and the decor is nice and very urban. The window to the kitchen is a nice touch, although mostly you can only see an elevator. Would be better if you got a better view of the chefs. It is quite loud, so if this bothers you, I would suggest sitting outside. As expected, the service was impeccible.
Overall, I will definitely come here again. I imagine that it will continue to improve as they get their stride.
