I liked Graze, I was not as blown away by it as I had expected which was a little disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I liked it and would say it is worth the trip! I do like the focus on supporting local farmers because that is important to me - the overt way it is advertised in the restaurant is another factor that leads me to believe that Madison is the inspiration for Portlandia and not actually Portland. Sorry for the sidetrack.....back to Graze.
I moved to Madison from Chicago, and found that Graze's menu reminded me of "some restaurants that I used to know.". The menu was a lot like Hearty (where my boyfriend used to work) and I ordered the Steamed Mussels because it seemed similar to the mussels at Hopleaf. I had orderer's remorse on that one, not because they were not good(they were no Hopleaf mussels), but because I felt like they would have been better as a starter course and not my entree. wish I could remember what cocktail I had because it was delicious! We tried the Crawfish Beignets - fabulous. My boyfriend got the burger which was also great.
The service was friendly and the ambiance nice - no complaints there! I am interested to try their brunch menu - overall, I would say give Graze a try!
