Trace Restaurant

Take it away

by jjmallum at Citysearch

When we got to Trace, we had hoped for a nice dining experience. it was all but that. when we recieved our dinner, two of the three steaks ordered were not prepared as requested. the server then dropped the food on my friend, brought a cleaning solution, and walked way. when the third steak was brought out it had been butterflied. and anyone who knows good filet, knows it should never be butterflied, especially when not asked. Our food was aweful. the steaks were flavorless, andthe veggies were not cooked all the way. not even half way through the meal (still having over half of the food on our plates) the server took our plates with out asking if we were finished, and never asked how our meal was. she then had dopped off the dessert menu w/o saying a word. we were still charged a rediculous amount of money for food with the quality of a cheap restaurant. for a $100 we expect a little class and delicious food.

leaving the waitress a decent tip for the poor service, we found out the next day that an additonal 22 % was added to the credit card, WITH OUT concent! A bit sketchy if you as me. For such POOR service, I dont think anyone desevers a 35% tip!

I dont think that we will be joining the trace for dinner again.

• Pros: good location
• Cons: poor service, value of the meal was poor, cramped

Will not eat here again...

A friend of mine and I ate in the front dining area at around 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. Our waitress first appeared at the table rather quickly, and then we waited, and waited and waited... She was cordial, but we nearly starved waiting to give her our orders and then getting our food. I had the pork tenderloin, which was bland and overpriced. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would certainly never take a date there. (Quick addition - the menu was not all that it could be.) I would go elsewhere if you want to have a pleasurable dining experience.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Location
• Cons: Overpriced, Limited menu, Bad wait staff
