On a recent business trip to Madison, we stayed at the Hilton by Monona Terrace. We asked the concierge about some good places to eat, and he suggested Graze for brunch. He was enthusiastic about it, so we figured we'd give it a try, and we were not at all disappointed!\n\nWe had about a 5 minute wait on a Sunday around 11 am, so I checked out the map they have in the waiting area. It's a map of the state and has pins for every farm they get their ingredients from (the list is also on the back of the menu). We were seated at a table right in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the Capitol. It was an absolutely beautiful day out, and very bright. As soon as we sat down, our waiter adjusted the shades so we didn't have to wear our sunglasses while we were eating. My boss had already had breakfast at the hotel, so he ordered a cheese plate and said the waiter could choose what cheeses to serve. I ordered the nutella stuffed french toast, which was served with almonds and cherries. I was in heaven with my meal. They aren't large portions, but it was the perfect size and the flavors were simply amazing.\n\nI don't anticipate another trip to Madison for a while, but if I ever come back, I'm making a beeline for this place.
