    We were big fans, BUT our last 2 visits have been disappointing. Food is now a mix of good and bad. Service is always very good.

    Came in for a dinner away from the kiddos with a couple friends. Our server Andrew was very attentive but not hovering over us. He had great recommendations for food and a special bottle of wine. Drinks from Sean at the bar were delicious. Good was on point, can’t wait to come back. Love this place.

    A very detail oriented establishment. All parts are in place, and work well together. Better than most in Manhattan.

    Tramas Restaurant never disappoints! We were seated in their new addition in a building next to the existing restaurant. Beautifully decorated and spacious. Food, service (Robert our server) as usual was excellent! Highlights of our courses, the Caesar Brussel sprout salad, eggplant caponata, mushroom bisque soup with black truffle, fluke, chicken parmesan, and branzino.
