    We have been going to the Trax since it first opened back in the 90s. Never a bad meal, always makes us want to come back for more.

    Four of us went to celebrate my Birthday. I hadn't been to Trax in several years. Overall, the food was absolutely excellent. I had the rack of lamb, my wife and friends had special fish dishes. All were excellent. Only points against were my dessert - pumpkin mousse that was excellent - until I got around 2/3 of the way to the bottom. Then, it was spoiled - sour/bitter taste. I didn't want a substitute so didn't make a fuss. The service was overall excellent, and we felt no rush. Really enjoyed our 2.5 hour dinner. I will go back!

    The food is very good. We were 4 and all had something different. Prices are reasonable. Our concerns are that the room is very tight-tables are right on top of each other and that it is so extremely loud. We could not hear our own conversation as our four top was adjacent to two parties of six. Its a shame that the noise level is so high. The service-waitress and busser professional.
