I have been to Graze at least a dozen times, and I wish I could give it a 4.5. I can't quite give it a 5 because of inconsistency and noise.
Here's what works:
- Cheese curds!
- Wine from a keg (can't you just feel the environment hugging you?)
- Beer selection
- Bibimbap
- Mac 'n' Cheese with Pork (heart attack, but worth it.)
- Fried Chicken & Waffle (There's a reason people love this in the South)
- Cheese boards
- Service - always kind and knowledgable
- Magic coffee
- The view of the capital
Here's what's inconsistent or doesn't work:
- Burgers. They change these frequently, and they're not consistently great. I wish they were.
- The noise. All those glass walls and metal tables & chairs make the sound bounce all over the place. So it's tough to bring your elderly parents (even though they'd love it) or your sweetheart, if you want a quiet night out.
- Breakfast is nothing special.
- The wait. Since you can't make reservations, you have to go during non-peak hours, or plan to wait for 30-45 minutes.
Despite the moderate inconsistencies, Graze is a great restaurant that's become a fall-back option for me and my friends.
