• The dinner I had at Travail was quite possibly the most exquisitely presented and perfectly tasting meal ever. The menu itself is a dream for an experienced upscale diner; portions are small, but created to give a flavorful punch! The kitchen also kindly altered a couple of dishes to meet the vegan needs of one member at our table. After placing our first order, the waiter brought complimentary shots of juiced greens to cleanse our palates. A savory kohlrabi soup served tableside featured sliced daikon and crisp tater rounds. A gorgeous salad was served with a finger of fresh mozzarella and several varieties of tasty, colorful heirloom tomatoes in an elegant line. The steak and corn came expertly strewn down the length of a slender dish, with micro mushrooms and sauce in its trail. A vegetarian dish containing a selection of perfectly steamed beans and pea foam was served alongside two interesting rice concoctions. I was quite impressed with the entire dining experience and have marked this restaurant as my latest favorite. Travail is quite possibly the best restaurant to open in Robbinsdale. Sadly, only time will tell if the locals will support this hip new eatery. It seems that most of this area's diners prefer big portions, little class.
