    Surrender your self and sobriety to this rollicking group of chef, performer, pirates. Excellent tasting menu. Loved the smoked "Ron Burgundy" cocktail. Would love a chance to experience the "Hot Tub"

    The Rookery is a separate Travail-created entity that shares the same space. Go to both for exuberant food presented by equally exuberant chefs, who are known for creating a lively dining experience. Read more

    The kitchen table offers a great chance to literally be in the middle of the action. Can't wait to go back after the official opening — the soft-launch menu was delicious!

    Always awesome tasting menu served by people who are having fun. Great cocktails to boot and very fun Pop-Up restaurants every now and then add well.

    At Travail, the chefs function as servers, and for diners, the experience feels a little like praying directly to God, without having to go through an intermediary. Read more

    Such a good deal for the amount of food you get. I might not do the drink pairing next time since I didn’t care for their selection

    Unbelievable 10-course tasting menu + wine pairing, topped off by muffins for tomorrow's breakfast and a hand-written thank-you note. No equal to this place.

    The current trend of a restaurant in a restaurant has some tough competition with Travail's soup in a soup dish! Read more
