Absolutely five stars! The tasting menu at Traif is a fantastic deal at just $56. The tuna tartare on fried eggplant and the strawberry baby back ribs are simply outstanding. Whether you prefer seafood or meat, you’ll leave feeling completely satisfied. Just a tip: it's best to choose indoor seating unless you don't mind sharing your meal with some mosquitoes!
We chose the chef's selection of eight courses, along with two desserts. We also ordered the red pearl drink and the hey hey mai tai, both of which were excellent. The food was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. At $56 per person, the price for the chef's selection was very reasonable. We loved the atmosphere, and our waiter was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Before serving each dish, they provided an explanation of its ingredients. Overall, my partner and I had a wonderful experience at Traif, and we highly recommend it. If you enjoy surprises, the chef's selection is definitely the way to go!
**Food: 5/5** Every dish that was served was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavors, and I found nothing lacking. My personal favorites were the Scallops, Tuna Tartare, and the duck breast. **Service: 5/5** Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. They welcomed us and inquired if it was our first visit, then took the time to introduce various items on the menu and offer recommendations. **Ambiance: 5/5** The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I chose to sit inside since it was a bit chilly outside, and I loved the atmosphere. The music was at a perfect volume, and they were playing city pop, which added to the enjoyable vibe. Overall, this restaurant is a definite must-visit. I would most likely return!
Saved this gem for our last night in the city. Amazing tasting menu featuring unexpected and superb flavor combinations. Great, personal and friendly service. Picked some of our own small plates and went with staff recommendations for the others and every plate was fantastic. Now I know why this is one of my son's favorite spots. Best meal we had in New York. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $30–50
