| - I love bringing visitors to Graze! The wall-to-wall glass windows create a stunning view regardless of where you are sitting. The vibe is open and trendy, so it's a popular pick for special occasion dinners or drinks before a night out.
The menu is full of fresh, locally-grown ingredients and the combinations are unique - where else in Madison can you find crawfish beignets, bibimbap, and fried chicken and waffle on the same (ever-evolving) menu?
To start off, inquire about the seasonal punch. I've never been disappointed with this beverage, even though it changes nearly every time I visit. Favorite appetizers include the cheese curds, soft pretzel, and fries (this pick is made by the heavenly garlic aioli).
For staple Graze dishes, try the Pub Burger, Graze Burger, or Moules Frites (mussels). The seasonally-inspired dishes often include a seafood option, tofu selection, and some type of gnocchi, garnished with vegetables and vinaigrettes.
You also can't go wrong with any of the dessert options - Cookies and Milk, root beer float, or affogado (house-made custard in hot espresso) to name just a few sweet options.
One thing to note: Graze does not take reservations, so plan to arrive early or at non-peak times for large groups. The staff are very accommodating and will take your number so you can walk around the Capitol/have a drink while you're waiting for a table.
