They included a candle on the dessert for the birthday girl and provided space to stack gifts. We all enjoyed our meals that were presented at the same time despite being a mixture of pizzas and entrees. We will be back.

While it was tender and prepared to medium rare, as requested, my steak was delivered with a pat of cold, unmelt butter, and the steak lacked flavor from a lack of seasoning and, seemingly, lower quality. Unfortunately, I had better steak at Cracker Barrels and at a lower price point, which contributed to my rating of 3-stars because my expectations were not met. My wife had a similar failed expectation with her pasta entree as it was too salty, as was the portobello mushroom appetizer, which had nice robust flavors but way too salty. The standout items we enjoyed, other than the excellent service, were the restaurant's "homemade" tiramisu and apple cobbler-like w/ gelato deserts, both of which contributed to my 3-star rating. Perhaps it was merely an off night or a new cook or chef, but more attention needs to be given to the quality-control of the dishes placed before this customer to warrant the price paid ($101 before adding a 20% tip for the service rendered) and the prospect of a return visit.

The food is consistently excellent and the service is exceptional. Bar drinks.... always filled to the rim and complement our meals. One of our favorite appetizers is the Steamed Black Mussels. They're prepared just right and wonderfully fresh and seasoned. Recently, our appetizer had several mussels which had not opened. We talked to our wait staff about it and they replaced the unopened mussels with a fresh appetizer. Their response to this request with so much kindness that makes our dining experience very positive and in our perspective, exceptional. Highly recommend dinner at Trat 225!
