We came for regular brunch menu on Easter Sunday. The ambience is open, airy, and inviting. Service was prompt and accurate. However, our server wasn't super familiar with the menu and didn't know what was in certain dishes. We ordered a variety of dishes. Overall, everyone liked their meals. The flavors were great. Love the Korean fusion. However... despite that we were the first ones in the door, they did not have the chicken that was on the menu. That seemed strange to all of us that they didn't plan ahead for a holiday weekend. A solid restaurant would usually have their menu items well stocked prior to a holiday weekend. Overall, still a good expertise if you're willing to be flexible. read more

I know most people like it here, but everytime I've been here over the years something has gone astray. This time we went to Sunday brunch with a group, including some kids. We had reservations, so we were seated right away which was a plus. Also, I will say I don't think any of the issues we had were because of our waitress. She was super friendly and quick enough to take our orders on a day when there restaurant seemed full enough, but manageable. We got our drink orders in and our food at the same time to speed up the process for getting little kids food, and the waitress even took note of that. We also ordered an appetizer to help during the wait. It took a while for the drinks to come out, but they were all rather tasty. I think my apple cider mocktail was the best and refreshing since it was getting hot in the restaurant with the sun beating in. Our food however took forever and the kids meals did not come out any earlier than everyone else. One person in our group also initially didn't get his meal, which the waitress apologized and said there was a mixup in the kitchen. That's fine, it happens, but then the staff running meals tried to bring him the wrong order 3 times. The rest of us were all finished eating by the time he finally got his food. Overall, the food was fine. I got the eggs benedict which was a little underdone on the eggs for me as the whites were too runny for me. The kids chicken nuggets were pretty tasty with a flaky breading. I heard decent reviews of the breakfast burger, but the thing that was the best to us was the breakfast sandwich. It was quite messy, but the messiness of the sauce was worth it. We also got an appetizer of the cinnamon roll. I feel like it's a little mislabeled though, as it was more like a morning bun with some frosting/glaze over the top. Tasted pretty good and helped keep kids entertained for a while. Overall, the food was fine, but the experience wasn't great. With the multiple mixups in orders and getting a little green house effect going with the sun shining in, there wsnt a great feeling when leaving. Again, I don't think it was our waitresses fault, so not sure what was going on in the kitchen. read more

Great location across from the Capitol with lots of windows, the sister restaurant to Michelin Star-worthy L'Etoile across the hallway doesn't disappoint. On a recent visit, we enjoyed the very nice cocktail and wine lists as well as a great menu. The Delicata Squash appetizer was very good and a large portion, while the fish fry was excellent if smaller pieces and a bit different than your typical Wisconsin fish fry. My wife loved the Bibimbap, and save room if you can for desserts which are excellent. Service was very professional and great for most of our visit until our server got bogged down with a large table but eventually asked another server to get us closed out rather than continue waiting. Really everybody from the bartender who made sure to pop his head over and welcome us at the host station after we had been waiting upon arrival, to the team of servers on the floor working together was indicative of the highest level of professionalism. Prices are pretty reasonable for this level of ingredients, flavor, ambience, and service. Very well done, check it out if you're in Madison! read more

Top tier dining in Madison. The bibimbap has been my favorite for years. Farm to table ingredients, thoughtful dishes, and a great atmosphere with a lovely view. If you go on a weekend, be sure to get a reservation! read more

I came here again, with some friends, and one of us is vegetarian. Our server offered her a vegetarian menu which was greatly appreciated. We loved the interior decor and the large windows that gave us awesome lighting. Service was prompt and our water glasses were never empty! Food was delicious!!! We also ordered a mimosa flight. The tart cherry was definitely the best tasting flavor out of our flight and we loved it. read more

Graze is a stable downtown. Blend of WI pub food with a korean and sometimes Spanish twist. Love their desserts, I think dinner is just okay, but I really enjoy their bunch. Dumplings were great and this one sorta cold brew cocktail was great. read more

What an absolute gem of a spot. Every single employee seemed genuinely happy to work here and the service was OUT of this world. The location is so fantastic but the menu is really something else. There really is something to satisfy every craving. My table ordered quite an assortment of foods. I got the chicken and waffles and ... WOW.... What a great Asian take on the classic chicken and waffles! All of the plates looked absolutely terrific. I got a mocktail and it was very solid, as were the cocktails as well! The ambiance is cozy but feels moderately upscale (not in a scary way)! Kent was out of this world and so friendly with us! They were out of a couple things but his suggestions were great and he was just a really friendly person! Great great great spot! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Madison. Make sure you grab a reservation ahead of time or you're not getting in. You may get lucky with a patio spot, but this is a much-loved dinner spot for a reason. Enjoy the views of the capitol while you indulge in the best bibimbap in town. We haven't had a bad meal here, but the bibimbap is the one thing we get every time. read more

Delicious eclectic farm to table food. Got the tofu bibimbap and fam got the burger and chicken tenders and fries. Everything was so fresh and good! read more

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! read more

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! read more

This location is beautiful - sits right next to the capitol building and is amazing during the day time and night. The waiter mentioned that all the food is sourced from their local farmers market and we definitely can taste how fresh everything was! We had the graze burger and the bibimbap (both amazing), but our absolute favorites were the fried cheese curds (we had them elsewhere during our trip to WI but we especially liked these ones), pork belly on the grits, and the Basque cake (the waiter said the chef went to Spain to master it and I don't doubt it! Paired with the sour cream ice cream and cherry compote it was perfect). The cutest date spot for us, and would come back with a bigger group too!! read more

Great spot a nice view of the capitol from our seat. Liked the cheese curds and the dip/bread. We didn't love the Anaheim burger that was the special that night. It was a lot of blistered peppers and the flavor was good but texturally was kind of slimey. Maybe in the had made a spread with cheese like a pimento cheese, it would have been better. Fried chicken was tasty. Desserts were good too. We just were disappointed by the burger but maybe the normal burger would be better. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Our reservation was for 7pm on a Thursday and I'm glad we made one because it was pretty busy. When I checked with the host, he asked if I minded waiting a moment for a table to clear out because he wanted to seat us in one of the best spots--up by the windows with a great view of the square. I was glad we waited. With high ceilings and a wall of windows, the restaurant feels fresh and open. It's upscale but not in a stuffy way. The options are very limited as a vegan. I was grateful that my server marked up a menu to show exactly what could be modified (though the tofu was mistakenly crossed off). In my opinion, the only viable vegan option is the tofu dolsot bibimbap. You have to remove the egg and kimchi, but it ended up being a pretty tasty dish even without those components. Compared to the other people I was dining with, I certainly got the most food for the least amount of money. But the vegan version of the bibimbap is overpriced for what it is. Overall the service was good (my water was never empty!) and the space is wonderful, but the vegan options are bleak. I've heard they used to have a lot more. I'd love to see some vegan dishes from Graze that have more intention and care. read more

I ate here at the recommendation of a work colleague. I booked a reservation the night before. I arrived 15 minutes before my reservation was was seated immediately as the people in front of us were turned away without a reservation. This place could have a nice view to the Capitol building but not all seats have a good view. The menu for this place is small. I decided to go with the Old Fashioned to drink and ordered the Graze Burger which is a three meat patty with Brisket, short rib and bacon. I special ordered it with no onions and the garlic aioli on the side. I added cheese curds for $3 which made this a $29 plate. The cheese curds were good but not quite as good as Old Fashioned. The burger tasted great but this patty was small in size and was wishing it was bigger. The Swiss flavor was noticeable in the compound butter. I ordered a second Old Fashioned. Overall good service, good alcohol content in my drinks, good food, small menu, small portions, OK views. 3.5 stars! read more

I've been here a number of times and it's just very hit or miss. Sometimes I think the alternating of the menu prevents Graze from being a staple. The constant change and lack of consistency is disruptive. Recently I came for brunch and got cheese curds and the loaded hash. My friends got the eggs Benedict and the burger Everything that was deep fried was virtually inedible, just drenched in oil and soggy. Very unfortunate as these were my favorite curds in Madison. read more

Crazy scrummy. It is a bit of a hefty dollar, but it's that locally sourced goodness so it is justified! The service wasn't the most attentive, but still overall so friendly. A lot more kids around than I thought, no hate LOL, just maybe a tad less fancy than I thought it'd be! Man the Korean Fried chicken was almost a lick the plate clean kind of moment though. Would recommend. It's a Madison Capitol Square classic. read more

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!! read more

My partner and I came here on our anniversary and I'm so glad we chose to celebrate here. The hostess staff, our waitress and even other servers came by and wished us a happy anniversary at some point during the night, it all felt really special. The server asked if we wanted a glass of presseco to celebrate which was a great start. We also tried their seasonal lemonade which was pineapple and it was amazing. As far as food we got the cheese board and loved all the seasonal cheeses, especially the smoked walnuts and strawberry jam which was all made in house! My partner got the graze burger with a side salad and I got the pork bimbipap which were both incredible dishes. At one point we switched and both loved each others just the same! We tried the sorbet for dessert which again was excellent. All around it was such a fun experience, our waitress was amazing in explaining the menu and where ingredients were sourced and the whole restaurant in general was gorgeous. Highly recommend read more

It's been a few years since my last visit. The restaurant was quiet for a Friday night. It seemed to have a 'tired' feel. Service was very good. My pork bibimbop was excellent. The fish fry mediocre. Cheese curds were good. The rioja tempranillo wine was excellent. Overall a pleasant dinner with as great view of the Capital. read more

Great place for brunch. The Two Eggs Any Style with bacon and hashbrowns at $14 is good value. The pork dumpling soup is next level good and something different for brunch. The cheese board had a nice selection but I would have liked to see larger pieces. Fried cheese curds were what you would expect. Coffee was good. Service was excellent. Reservations via Tock. read more

Amazing experience! Went for brunch on a Friday. Here from CA to visit step daughter at University of Wisconsin and our experience our first. College football game. We had a reservation at 1:30 pm and arrived a little early. We were immediately seated in a nice area of the restaurant street side looking toward the Capitol Building. Not busy at all just because it was still work hours I would think. However, I was told recommend getting a reservation to avoid a wait. We ordered 3 items from the menu, which were very good and fresh. Three dishes were delicious. The service was friendly and fast. Our server was attentive, but not overly so. This was an exceptional dining experience and we look forward to going back! read more

I took out lunch from here on a Friday. The place was really spacious inside. It was a good place to dine it. Birria grilled cheese was my favorite item here. It was done perfectly with a lot of flavorful beef. Beef consume and a spicy sauce was provided to add to the flavor punch. Japanese egg salad sandwich was a very interesting sandwich. I know it is very popular in Japan, but never found in US. I liked it. I took a side of fried cheese curds, which was ok. I am not a cheese curd person. read more

If you're in Madison, Graze is one restaurant that's a must visit. The restaurant has floor to ceiling windows with great views of the capital building. The décor is modern with great ambience. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. For appetizers, I recommend the cheese curds, roasted carrots, and ricotta meatballs. For entrée, I went with the braised pork belly and it was absolutely heavenly. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service you get. Please note that they do charge a 10% fair wage fee, which is not meant to replace the tip. So keep that in mind. read more

I love graze! Have celebrated so many birthdays here! They have had trouble with staffing since the pandemic, so service can be slow. But they always get you in on time if you have a reservation.

Excited they are bringing brunch back and excited for the new menu! Milk and cookies are a great desert choice! But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu really. read more

This restaurant is absolutely spectacular! It is modern and cozy at the same time. The food is made by a James Beard award winning chef! Truly amazing and delicious.

The service was really weird and strange. I normally don't comment on service unless you're hateful, which I wouldn't say they were exactly but both my mom and I both felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were also one of the few nonwhite people in there. The food was also okay, like good / decent but not amazing or a place I would go out of my way to go again. I really love a farm to table spot so I was really excited to try this spot while I was in Madison, but was so disappointed. read more

Who would have thought Korean styled dishes and cheese curds would be such a great combination - only in Madison! Graze has seasonal drinks and unique dishes that offer a memorable experience. My group shared cheese curds, Korean fried chicken, cauliflower and beets for apps. The cheese curds and chicken were phenomenal. We were able to enjoy the sunset over the capitol as we enjoyed various entrees. Would recommend! read more
