| - Finally got to visit Graft, and we ended up being sorry it took so long.
My wife and I have been fans of the small plate concept for a long time, and Graft does a great job.
Starting off with the cocktail menu, the Profligate Potation was an eye opener. The taste is not what you expect from the appearance, very refreshing, and the gin and watermelon ( sorry I don't remember the name ) number, my wife had, she pronounced as the perfect summer cocktail.
The plates we sampled out of the veggie column were not all that 'small'. The brussel sprouts with pumpkin seeds are a definite hit, and the jasmine rice salad was excellent as well ( where did that hint of heat come from ? ).
The scallops are about as good as any I've ever had. My only ( minor ) complaint was the oyster po-boy. I should have asked about the size of that, and ordered two !
This and desert ( excellent lemon/blueberry cheese cake and a great butterscotch pot-de-creme ) was as far as we got, . . . this time.
We will definitely be back to explore some more.
Almost forgot a shout out to the service staff.
Our couple ( apologies to them for not being able to remember their names ) did a good job, especially considering that mid-way through our meal, they got to deal with a 13 top bachelorette party. Oy.
They still have my sympathies on that gig.
