The official drink of robbinsdale!

Few birds were harmed in the juicing of this drank.

Roof top with steakhouse themed menu was perfection. All the courses were well flavored, unique and blended together to form a memorable experience for our entire party. Every time I return I am impressed all over again. Can’t wait for my next dining experience here.

What an amazing experience! Delicately prepared food, presented with perfection… each bite was well balanced and delicious! We chose to have paired cocktails and each one was a delightful compliment to the dish. Highly recommended!

This is our first return visit to Travail since the latest remodel. This new space is a big departure from the first and second iterations of this restaurant. The first was really “out there”, while the second version, with the ticketed reservations, was a huge improvement. The third version is different still. The room is very modern and filled with light from the big windows.

This was the second time I’ve been at their kitchen (I’ve also been in the basement bar and the rooftop bar). The food, service, atmosphere, and experience overall has always been amazing.

UMAMI in Travail’s basement bar was by far the most fun dining concept I’ve experienced.

Tom Lindsay
Excellent, creative food, where the ongoing courses are the night’s entertainment. Two of us had the wine pairings and our third had the non-alcoholic cocktail pairing, and they were all extremely well paired to the food. The menu was clever, cleverly presented, and a lot of fun.

Everything you’d expect from a 5 star experience. The price matches the quality and it’s expensive, but what you get for that price is a top of the line food and drink experience you won’t find anywhere else in Minnesota. Perfect place for a big life event celebration, like an anniversary date night.
