Reviews
"My boyfriend and I discovered Traif thanks to a viral TikTok showcasing their 10-course chef tasting, and it lived up to every bit of the hype. The $56 per person cost is worth every penny. The ten courses (sometimes more!) are served tapas-style, perfect for sharing among your group. The variety is astounding, presented beautifully on decorative plates that invite you to savor each dish. We left feeling satisfied and genuinely full—a rarity with tasting menus. The staff was exceptional, adding to the overall experience. Our final bill, around $180 for the chef's tasting for two, two cocktails, and a 20 percent service charge for the staff, felt reasonable for what we received. Opting for the chef's selection was a great move; the food was imaginative and delicious. Honestly, the only regret I have is not capturing more photos—each dish was so captivating that I couldn't resist diving right in. Highly recommend Traif for your next night out."
"We’ve never been here so it was a first for the both of us. There were so many options that we did the chefs selection and it’s worth every penny! I enjoy the pictures, but I wanted to dive right into each dish because they were just amazing. The cocktails were very nice and refreshing. The service was great they explained each dish with detail. Will come back!"
"The culinary skill that went into cultivating such flavorful dishes is impeccable. But what most impressive for me is that they managed to bring out the food while it’s hot. So often I dine out and the food is pretty and all but cold once it gets to the table. I definitely will be dining at Traif again. Excellent service and amazing food."
"There is too much selection of dishes. We took the chef selection. In general food is good. Service is great. Atmosphere is nice. Most food are a little bit to the sweet side. Like the pineapple shrimp. Pork ribs. Scallops risotto is a little too soft. Personally I like something less sweet. Overall it is a good bargain for the price to have so much food to try."
"We did the prix fixe. It was nice being surprised by the chef's choice. Would absolutely do again. The only thing the pork was over cooked for our taste, It could have needed less time on the grill. We ordered a bottle of red wine and it pair well with every dish. Desserts were perfect, not overly sweet. I look forward to coming again and seeing what else they have to offer."
