"We visited Travail for their complete tasting menu, which included the cellar bar and the upper floor restaurant. We paid for a cocktail pair and an N/A pair to go with the meal. We were greeted with NA cocktails at the door and finally brought down. Our favorite part of experience, by far, was the cellar bar and I would return for this part of experience. The menu, including drinks, was creative and surprising, and the presentation was almost overwhelming, but in a funny way. We tried chorizo and octopus tacos; mussel soup; Foie gras that tasted like lime Sherbert, and Korean corn dogs, among many others. Everything was fantastic and we had a hard time to select favorites. Travail has done a good job to make NA drinks as funny and exciting as regular cocktails. I tried both drinks and felt that the taste profiles were similar. The menu above was a more classic presentation of gourmet food. The vegetables really shined against the meat. The steak was much salted in the night we visited, but it was otherwise perfectly prepared. Pig bell served with carrots in a peas soup was our top favorite. The beverage pairs on the upper floor were overwhelming, with the exception of a mango carrot juice, served in a cup shaped like a flower pot that was both sweet and delicious. The desserts were just as good; we couldn't choose any favorites. I think above, you better understand the price tag not that the food is 't excellent by itself, but the experience of being there makes it really worth it. We tipped. Unclear how things were structured (with bought cards in advance without added, we were not a final receipt or a comfortable little leather folio, so decided for cash folded under a glass). The restaurant could make the expected result clearer. Overall we had an extraordinary experience and go back."
