What an AMAZING experience! I was lucky enough to go to the Signature Tasting with 7 of my closest friends for my 40th birthday and it was a perfect evening. The food was delicious. Hands down. So good. Multiple points that we all wanted more, and several of us debated licking the plate! Everyone on staff was kind, fun, and you could tell they enjoy what they do. The energy in the space is fun and upbeat. Everyone had smiles on their faces throughout the night. It was just awesome. And the space in general is just gorgeous. The upstairs bar is lovely and a perfect place to start the evening. The dining room, while large, still felt like we were able to have good conversations and laugh together. It was a magical night. So thankful to the whole team at Travail for being so great!

The Filipino Latino menu is the best meal I've had at Travail since coming here on several occasions over many years. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, and the service was so playful and fun! I don't think I can pick a favorite part of the meal. An intermezzo with Mike Brown in the outside front veranda provided some hilarious insight into the concept, finished with a tasty shooter! Really enjoyed this meal at Travail. They truly know what they're doing with spirited dining, and they do it well.

I absolutely love this place! The staff are friendly - they always treat you like an old friend. They are incredibly knowledgeable about everything food and drink they offer. My favorite part of Travail is their themed basement experiences. I've been lucky enough to attend two so far (Christmas and Friends experience), and both were incredible. The food and cocktail pairings are always spot on. Food is small portions, creative, and delicious. Drinks are creative but tend to be larger (might be a negative for some, but I'm good with it!). This is a place to come back to over and over. Always something new to experience!

As good as the food was the night we visited Travail I was surprised by the overall experience. What do I mean? Greeted at the door and we were invited to enjoy a drink up the stairs at the stylish retro 70's style bar with excellent craft cocktails. When you come down to start this unique food experience you are invited to four different food stations. Our favorite was the mozzarella balls on your hand indented and filled with honey and sprinkled with nuts. After this interactive opening you are seated at a community style table and entertained by a private chef that skillfully rolls out sixteen small plate courses. We did wine flights with dinner. I recommend the addition of wine. Overall, the food was creative and excellent. Travail is truly a unique interactive social dining experience!!

Amazing experience and food! I was so excited to go here once I found out they changed the menu to what they call GIGLIO (Italian-inspired menu). It was a 21 course Italian tasting menu and we had an absolute blast. The food was great, the service was even better, and it was such a unique environment. Worth the price, I can't wait to go again!

Such a fun experience! There are 22 courses, the first few you walk around and get. My favorite was the fresh mozzarella! The service was awesome, and the space was cool. I thought the trivia was sort of random but I had fun playing still!

Omg this is a must do!!! They have an Italian Giglio feature right now that is just so awesome. We booked a reservation about a month out which you have to do as it books out quick! You do need to pay in advance which I don't love but also makes sense and makes it easier at the end of the night. We were in the upper part of the restaurant and we just had a blast. Not only was the food fabulous, the service is quick, witty and top notch plus they have events and small moments throughout the evening to make it fun. We did trivia during dinner but they also had music playing and interactive food stations. For this feature the mozzarella and cacio e Pepe from the cheese wheels are to die for. I wanted to eat just that for my entire meal! Highly highly recommend.
