I want to like Graze more. The highlights, Great atmosphere! I love their local take on everything. All their food (and most of their drinks) come from local vendors. Graze has a really great concept.
The bad news is, their service is inconsistent. I was recently at Graze on a weekday night (weeknights they have reverse happy hour where drinks are half off 9-11!). We were sitting outside and I wanted to order a dessert. I asked the waitress where I should order. She said the bar. That's fine. I walk to the bar and order. The bartender asks if I want to pay now (I say yes) and says he'll have someone bring it out to me. Then I wait, and wait, and wait for the bartender to take my money. He finally came back to tell me I could go outside. Yes, but I need my change, I tell him. He goes on helping others and doesn't take my money. So I leave it there. I guess he gets the change as a tip. Then, the waitress brings out the dessert and it is not what I ordered. I tell her this. She just looks at me and leaves. That is pretty bad service in my book.
The food is also quite pricey. I don't neccessarily mind paying more if I know my food is coming from a good place. And it CAN be good. Unfortunately, the food is also somewhat inconsistent, too. The cheesecake they ended up giving me (instead of what I asked for) was only mediocre.
