A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

Very pleasant experience. Staff was always ready to help or get a drink. We plan to go there again. The money is the same as what I spend at the more traditional breakfast places. Staff was much nicer and I feel the food was better. Very much enjoyed the experience!

Our visit on Sunday, 10/20/24, was our first. We were really impressed with the menu selections and our appetizer - cauliflower - and the burger we shared - Lucy - were both very good. The best part of the night was the bartender/server we were assigned: Skylar. Skylar was prompt, provided fantastic drinks, and was at least as entertaining as the band we saw that night, Llorna Shore. If we purchase tickets to another show at The Fillmore, we will definitely return to Trax.

Went to the Candlelit concert at the theatre and decided to eat at the uptown lobby beforehand. Food was delicious and we made it to the concert right on time.
