| - When I planned ladies' night, I looked for a restaurant that would provide a fun atmosphere with delicious food and a touch of class. I reserved a dinner at Graft through Yelp, and we were not disappointed. I came here with a group of 8 ladies and we were seated in the back by the kitchen. The whole restaurant is filled with the noises of the kitchen and the different smells of wine and delicious food. The wine list is very eclectic and long (perfect for ladies' night), and the sommalier was knowledgeable and gave us gentle recommendations towards wines that we enjoyed immensely.
I had the fried chevre with the chicken thigh. Fried chevre is possibly some of the best bites of food I've had in Madison. The crispy crunch on the outside mixed with the creamy decadent goat cheese on the inside, throw in some nuts and honey, and you get fireworks. We ended up sharing with ladies who didn't order it because they were in love with ours. Chicken thigh was also delicious, but the fried chevre is the stronger recommendation. Our friends ordered the pork belly and the brussel sprout salad. Though I didn't try it, she said the brussel sprouts were delicious.
Service was wonderful and attentive. Our server refilled our drinks and checked on us frequently when our wine was low. Food did not take long at all to prepare. Overall, I believe the whole dinner (appetizers, drinks, and entrees) took a little over an hour. We were very happy with the pacing and the service. I loved every second of this dinner, and I definitely plan on coming back!
