About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

In Brooklyn, Traif is one of the hottest restaurants drawing in the local community and guests from around the city. The concept at Traif is multiple course adventures or small plate meals. The tasting menu consists of 8 � 10 small courses designed for three or more people to share with the option for fewer courses in a �pick-and-choose� style. Seating inside or on the patio is an excellent choice all year round with Traif�s outdoor heat lamps. Guests will find the lively and cozy atmosphere inviting before even tasting the food. Menu items include strawberry cinnamon glazed Berkshire baby back ribs, seared butterfish and salt pepper shrimp.

Traif scores well on all points except comfort. Unfortunately, it is tightly packed at peak times, like so many other NYC restaurants. And the crowded tight space gets LOUD, so loud that you frequently have to ask your companions to repeat themselves. Those are the negatives, and it is unfortunate that they have an impact on what otherwise is a terrific meal. We had the tasting menu, and each dish seemed better than the last. You don't get a lot with the tasting menu, but what you get is superb. One other downside is that they often bring two of the courses at the same time. This equates to a feeling of being rushed. But if you can overlook all that, you will certainly enjoy the food.

Food was great, but I think our server described the restaurant incorrectly. He said that the dishes were meant to be shared (I assume similar to tapas?). So we ordered 5 plates to share between the 2 of us. And holy, moly it was way too much food. We would have been fine ordering 1 thing per person. So, they either need to NOT describe themselves as tapas. Or make the plates a bit smaller, while also dropping the price for each item Our favorite menu items were the chilaquiles and the shrimp n' grits. The baked pancake was good, but a bit dry. I would order extra syrup for the next time. The baked chicken n' biscuit was also good, but I've had better versions at other restaurants.

Air Conditioning not working. Hot and muggy inside. Waiter forgot to place the order for 2 items. Items came out 45 minutes after initial items.

Traif is our fave! The food is phenomenal! Not enough space though. A little too noisy but we love this place! The menu is absolutely amazing and was created for the true foodies, as we are.

Hearty, interesting food that's not too fussy. Place does not feel like a destination, which is a definite plus.

We have been here before for dinner which was great but this time it was for their new brunch. The Chefs choice brunch was amazing! From the pineapple with pomegranate sauce appetizer to the key lime pie with crushed pineapple and mascarpone we savored each bite. Don't miss this incredible treat!,,
