“ Graze has a beautiful location right outside the Capitol and the glass walls really add to the experience. The food was good, but I was expecting better with all of the good things I've heard. We would have loved more sauce with the bibimbap and generally felt that it was just good enough to satisfy a craving. The vodka pasta was also very tasty with the sausage, but overall nothing special. Our drinks were great!! I had the sunset cosmo and my boyfriend got the daily lemonade and spiked it per our server's recommendation. Our server was so nice and offered lots of recommendations! I would definitely come back ”
“ After a day of Pokémon hunting around downtown, our family stopped in to see if they could accommodate our group for brunch/lunch. The hostess was fantastic. She was able to squeeze us into a booth. Our server was friendly and accommodating. My husband and I started off with some tart cherry mimosas that were fantastic. It is a nice twist on an old favorite. The Smashburger was delicious. They had some great options for the kids too. Would love to come by again for dinner to see what other options they have. ”
“ Best restaurant in Madtown. First of all the view of the capitol is awesome!! Same as L'Etoile without the high prices and marginal food. The staff here is incredible!! Great service and really personable. The food is the star, EVERYTHING our group had was delicious!! We also had a toddler with us and they treated him great. What an awesome restaurant!!! Definitely go here!! ”
“ Amelie our server was awesome! :) We chose to sit in a booth over one of the tables. They had cute decorations and lots of natural, bright lighting. We started with the cheese curds, which were perfectly fried--crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and paired nicely with the ranch dressing. The Nutella pancake was incredibly fluffy and had just the right amount of sweetness. The Korean fried chicken was a standout--crispy, flavorful, and with a nice kick of spice. The waffle was also delicious, with a great texture and just the right amount of crispness. We asked for syrup to go with both meals and it was promptly delivered to us. Overall, a great meal with plenty of tasty options! Would love to try some of their drinks next time. Thanks for a good filling brunch! ”
“ Probably my favorite restaurant in downtown Madison! The atmosphere is always great, service is amazing and servers always are willing to answer questions about the menu, and food is incredible. I love the focus on local and fresh ingredients. ”
“ I love Graze so much. The menu and atmosphere are perfect for a date, a friends time out or a work lunch. My last visit, I had the Japanese egg salad sandwich because I'm a fan of egg salad and I was intrigued by the Japanese style. It was soft boiled with halved eggs and absolutely delicious. It also came, in true Japanese style, with little sides of pickled kimchi and I think radishes, along with an amazing salad. The green tea I ordered was the perfect complement. The menu at Graze is so thoughtful and tasty. Highly recommend! ”
“ Great coffee, friendly service, tasty dishes. Very cool green decor inside with comfortable seats. ”
“ While wondering around downtown Madison, we passed by Graze a few times and finally decided to swing in for Sunday brunch...and we are happy we did! Graze is a local eatery that focuses on fresh-made, locally sourced food and drink. For brunch, we started with a few bloody Mary's and then dove into the food. I went with the Korean Fried Chicken Honey Biscuit with fries and my buddy went with the Loaded Hashbrowns. Both meals were cooked well, and delicious! The fried chicken was crispy, well breaded, perfectly fried and coated in that amazing sauce. My only gripe is the biscuit. The biscuit was great taste wise, but the way it was cut with the bottom being too thin made it unable to be picked up and ate as a biscuit. I ended up eating ugh with a fork and knife. The space itself is gorgeous. High ceilings, dark colors, wood accents, industrial seating, local art and massive windows on three sides looking out onto the downtown streets. Service was great as well. The bartenders and food runners were helpful, friendly and pleasant. Overall, wildly impressed with Graze. Definitely on my list for my next trip to Madison! ”
“ We walked in on a Thursday evening with 10 people and asked for (seating, ok to split us up). They were gracious and able to seat us at two nearby tables with a very short wait. They were also able to accommodate individual bill requests and provide wonderful service. The location is on the capital square. It was a very inviting space. The menu is somewhat small, but very well done. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I would highly recommend the bibimbap bowl. I had the spicy tofu and it was very mildly spiced. ”
