Editorial Review for Graze – by Annamaria Pardini
In Short
The expansive restaurant's soaring glass walls curve around the corner lot and open to two street-side patios. The interior is modern, elegant and relaxed, featuring black chairs, white-clothed tables with burgundy napkins and an exhibition station where the chef garnishes each plate. The seasonal menu proffers dishes such as smoked trout and fennel salad, eggplant marinara rolled around herbed ricotta and fried Willapa Bay oysters. Sweets include a made-to-order fresh fruit Napoleon.

Some friends and I tried to have dinner here the other day. At six on a thursday, not only was it completely emply, but also 60 degrees. The candles on the table were more for heat than atmosphere. After the only waiter(who was also the bar tender) told us that they were out of half of the items on a already slim menu, we took our business elsewhere. They clearly didn't want my patronage that bad. besides, with no customers, how fresh can the food be?
Pros: timely seating
Cons: not much food, not much service

My group of girlfriends and I like to try different Portland spots on Monday nights to have our "girl's night". Some of us have to work a bit later, so after seeing that Graze had a later happy hour, we decided that it was the place to go. My first warning should have been when I kept trying to check their website and it kept saying unable to find server. I was the first of the group to get to Graze at 5:05. The place was EMPTY. At 5pm, you would have expected at least a handful of people there. Nope, no one. Then I noticed the sign on the door stating that happy hour was from 3-5. So much for Good deals. There were just too many things things leaving a bad taste in our mouths, so our group decided to go to another bar that wasn't surrounded with false advertising about their specials. The food might be great here, but I doubt I will ever know. My friends and I are all pretty disappointed.
Cons: None of their advertised specials are correct
