Had an amazing date night for my girlfriends bday! We enjoyed everything we had and service was a bit slow but we enjoyed not feeling rushed!! The scallops were incredible, and the steak was very good as well! They even brought a special dessert for the birthday. One of the better spots in downtown Madison!

The food was great. Absolutely loved the salmon (better than the steak in my opinion). The drinks were well made, too. Not too sweet.The only reason I’m giving Graft 4 stars instead of 5 is because our waiter was kind of stand-offish.

My husband and I dined with 6 friends and when a staff member said they could just bring out food for the group (instead of individually ordering), we agreed. Great choice! Each dish was small, but there were many and the variety was lovely. So delicious!

Scallops are amazing!

I must say I almost applauded the chef. Food was AMAZING! Everything! Every bite a mouth explosion of taste! Staff was so nice! We are a big family and they took so great care of us

Wonderful group of people. The waitress was very pleasent and considerate. Had a very relaxed, romantic time with my wife. The food was delicious with an aftertaste to last. Great time all around!

One of the best meals we have had in Madison! Every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was superb! We will definitely be coming back for a delightful dining experience!

I’ve eaten all over the world. This is the most underestimated, understated restaurant I’ve ever been to. Little fanfare but it deserves its own chefs table episode. The food is absolutely baller and the service is top notch…like Alinea or French Laundry top notch…it just doesn’t look like it from the street. Please do yourself a favor and come here. Get the green beans.

My wife and I took a weekend trip to Madison last summer with another couple, and we decided to have our "fancy" date night here. I got a cocktail and the albacore tuna, and it was one of the best seafood dishes I've ever had. It was incredibly fresh!

Jennifer and I loved our dinner of small plates and drinks at Graft. We didn't have reservations so sat at the bar where Megan and Antonio took care of us while listen to great vinyl records. Loved it, and can't wait to come back on our next trip to Madison.
Great drinks, awesome dishes, best staff. The menu doesn't look big, but there is plenty there to please a party of four plus. The cocktail menu was amazing. To top it all off, the staff was great - from the hostess to the bartender to the person that waited on us.

Excellent service (sat at the bar on a busy Saturday) and stunning menu offerings. If you find yourself in Madison, go to Graft!

Excellent wine list and by-the-glass; and their sharable small plates are tasty. I would highly recommend the beans, croquettes, chicken confit, monkey bread, and the only dish I would give a 3.5 to would be the scallops: they were a bit blonder than I prefer.

A hidden gem with great ambiance, amazing food and cocktails for any occasion. Come as you are and they will take care of the rest.

I was really looking forward to a good experience here - I took my girlfriend here to celebrate because I heard such great things. However, my experience was unfortunately disappointing…The service was great and I loved the ambiance of the place, but my main gripe is that the food was cold! I hardly ever complain, but our last two plates just felt off. I had to say something. Frankly it felt like they had the dishes sitting out waiting too long to serve it to us in increments.We had the croquettes and the fettuccine. I was told that the croquettes can’t get any warmer because they are essentially like cheese curds. I’m skeptical, as it was cold completely, but I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I have not had croquettes before. Yet, when they said they couldn’t warm it up any more, they took the food back and still charged me for it… if I knew that I would’ve still eaten that last cold croquette at least! The fettuccine was cold as well, and I am more confident that should not have been.So to reiterate, it was an unfortunate disappointment to spend that kind of money for an experience that seems to not match up with others’ experiences. I will likely give this place another chance in the future because of my high hopes.
