    Bibimbap, Mac n' cheese with pulled pork, shrimp & grits, and the pub burger. All hits with our table! And of course the pumpkin hummus, cheese grits, and pretzel.

    Brunch is one of the best in Madison. Nutella-Stuffed French Toast comes in a perfect portion size covered in raspberries & powdered sugar w/ a side syrup. Sweet, but not too sweet. A solid choice.

    Buttermilk Biscuits & Gravy are an easy winner for savory brunch. Would've been even better if I'd asked for an over-easy egg on top. Recommend coupling it w/ the light sweetness of Magic Coffee.

    The pumpkin hummus was divine. The cheese curds were delicious and fried to perfection. Pretzel (with the cheese) was fantastic!! Also the bibimbap (with pork) and Mac n'cheese with pulled pork!!

    I don't love sweet coffee. But, the Magic Coffee—with its coffee, espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 & 1/2 mixture—pairs wonderfully with any of the delicious, more savory brunch options.

    They make a fantastic variety of cheese curd. Massive chunks of gooey, deep-fried cheddar coupled with a thick, homemade buttermilk ranch dipping sauce. Always a good decision.

    Good cheese curds, but amazing views. If you want to enjoy either of these things on a friday or saturday plan on getting here (really) early, else you could be waiting up to 2 hours for a table.

    We had lots wonderful food! Started with the good cheese curds (liked ones from Old Fashioned more) The deviled eggs with paprika aioli are a must. Vegetarian Brussel sprouts at $11 is a lot but good.

    Everything about the cheese curds are true. Get them....SO good! They are HUGE and have tons of cheese inside! The graze burger is also really really good. You won't be disappointed!

    Upscale dining meets Wisconsin classics, especially when it comes to cheese. The cheese curds to start are a must. Mac and cheese, topped with pulled pork, was fantastic.

    A cool and modern place with a nice view to the street and to the Capitol. I tried the Korean nachos, and they were amazing! Watch out: they are spicy. As a Mexican, they were a good challenge.

    The Graze Burger, medium rare, is a revelation. Kimchi deviled eggs are great, too. Service was amazing. We were absolutely smitten.

    We came for brunch! Cheese curds are amazing. Oysters are really fresh. Lots of really creative drinks - fierce lemonade was yummy. The noodle bowl was also pretty good!

    Wowza. Beautiful space, friendly service. Eggs Benedict was spot on; the little salad, which I usually ignore, was delish. You can get a 1/2 order of curds if you want to try them without filling up.

    House pickles are a smorgasbord of delicious, graze burger is incredible, and the fries are like crack. Wisconsin knows their burgers and this is proof. Also the batter on cheese curds - I die

    The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. Totally mood-elevating. Graze burger (not pub burger) was named best burger in America by Rachel Ray mag. If there's one thing I trust Rachel on, it's burgers.

    Bimbimbop was amazing, pork was really good, the crawfish beignets are a must have. Can't go wrong menu, come hungry, try everything!

    Chef Tory miller places his juicy patties on local grass-fed, dry-aged Scottish Highland beef on a house-made English muffin. The craggy surface captures the patty's dripping juices wonderfully well.

    Good food and extremely friendly, but very hipster. If you like the hipster scene then this is the place for you. I prefer paying more for food than ambiance.

    Are cheese curds, oyster, egg Benedict and cocktail too much for brunch? No! It's Sunday morning.

    Biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've ever had. Ask the bartender to put sriracha in your bloody mary!
