We came here for my birthday and it was very underwhelming. When we arrived there were two valet at the stand, one came over and opened my boyfriend's door but the other made eye contact with me and then just went back to looking at his phone. Alright. Not the end of the world that I have to open my own door but it just set the tone for this place. We ordered oysters, two kinds, east coast raw and Japanese fried. Japanese fried were amazing. Highly recommend. East coast were not good. Just flavorless (but I know they don't make the raw oysters) and they came out with yellow stuff on the side so I asked the runner what it was and she said she didn't know. Our waiter came by and I asked where the oysters were from and he didn't know. He said he would ask but never came back to tell me. Weird that no one who worked there seemed to know the menu. The general atmosphere was super chaotic. Felt like employees were running around the entire time. It was really hot inside and they were wheeling swamp coolers through the dining room. When our food came out my boyfriend's tenderloin was cold. They took it back and gave him what had to be a new one because it came out 10 seconds later. The chef while delivering it almost got ran over by another employee running through the dining room and when he set it down he said to be careful it was hot. It wasn't. Still cold. Most likely had been sitting out for a bit. He just ate it anyway. After they take our plates away, I feel something drop onto my head. My boyfriend and I both touch it in my hair and it's brown and sticky. Disgusting. They move us to another table and I go to the bathroom to wash it out. The manager comes in, who was really nice, honestly the only reason I'm giving the service 3 stars is because she was very sweet, and apologizes and says it was from the A/C vent over our table, which I assume was broken based on the swamp coolers. She helped us decide on a dessert, the cheesecake, which was just ok, but they comped it and put a candle in it so I guess that was something. Overall, it was just a major letdown for my birthday and I won't be coming back. (And no, the valet didn't get my door for me when we left either.)

Today was my first and more than likely last visit.I went there for a pre-birthday celebration dinner.The menu choices were not my favorite but everyone else that dined with me seem to enjoy their meal.If I could make a suggestion that would be to have diners to fill out cards for any suggestions for food options other than current menu options.The food and drink prices were very reasonable and the waiter probably wanted to tell me to get lost lol but he was very nice and very understanding

The food was excellent and service was as well. There were a few vegetarian options and had an extensive food and drink menu. The patio was very cute, and though the inside was a little small, it felt like a cozy place for dinner.Vegetarian options: Only a few vegetarian options, but covered several types of dishes

My fiancée and I were SHOOKETH at how good this place was for dinner.Mind you, we came here a few years ago for brunch and weren't happy with the food. I had some type of egg breakfast with curry, and my fiancée had chilaquiles. Wasn't our favorite spot, so we opted not to return. Service and atmosphere has always been 5 stars.It's a beautifully decorated restaurant with amazing lighting, huge open windows, and beautiful tables, paintings, and plants.We came here 2 days ago for my best friends surprise birthday dinner and MAN did this place deliver. Still 5 star atmosphere and service, but the food was beyond 5 stars.I had the jerk chicken, and that was one of the best jerk chickens I've ever tasted. It had some kind of plantain puree, I believe, and it was so sweet alongside a perfectly cooked thigh and wing on a bed of collard greens and coconut rice. 10/10 *chefs kiss*.My fiancée had the Argentinian style tenderloin, and she absolutely destroyed that plate. I didn't try it because I was busy with my food, but the steak looked like it was cooked to perfection, and the fact she finished the whole plate ensured me it was delicious.Don't get me started on the chef fries. Some of the best fries I've ever tasted! Especially with the 2 dipping sauces they give you. Lastly, for appetizer, we got the pao de quijo (brazilian cheese bread), and I wanted to buy a whole bag because of how good it was.The service was emaculant. They refilled my water so many times, and the waiters ensured we were all happy. They brought out my friends surprise cake, sang happy birthday, and overall made this experience 10/10. We will definitely be back for dinner.The only issue is parking is not the best. There's valet, and I'm sure they have tons of spots, but we opted to try parking outside the restaurant. We had to drive for about 10 min to wait for someone to leave their spot in roads behind the restaurant. Regardless, next time we will just valet when we come!Highly highly recommend coming here to bless your taste buds.

Delicious food. Atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. Margaritas were delicious. Duck chilaquiles were the perfect. Definitely will be coming back during dinner to try more.

My friend and I had brunch here on a Saturday morning at 10:30 am. We did not have a reservation, but we were seated. We were waited on and ate our food and chatted for a bit. We paid our bill and I had a drink that I was finishing. We were approached by the Manager who told us that we had 10 more minutes and then we had to give up our table for a 12:30 reservation. We said okay and left. My concern is that if there was a time limit on a table why didn't the waiter say anything in the beginning? Just know that I will not return in the future as it appeared that you cater to a certain clientele and will make sure to keep it that way. Duly noted.

The girls and I really enjoyed this place! Upon arrival there is a valet that will take your car (free but tips are welcome). They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Our waiter Diego was very sweet and did a great job of taking care of our needs. The Pad Thai was absolutely amazing, try it if you get a chance! The restaurant was beautiful and made us feel so good to be there.

This is my 2nd experience at Traveler’s Table and it was spectacular. The food and atmosphere is top-tier and the variety of options make you keep wanting to come back and try more. It was quite loud for a Monday but that’s always expected at a busy and well-known establishment. Service was the highlight of my party’s experience. Hannah went above and beyond and overall has the perfect balance of friendliness, personality, and professionalism. Best service we had in a long time. Got to try the Nigerian Skewers 8/10 it was tender, juicy and damn near perfect; wish there was more. The Lamb Gnocchi 10/10 knocked it out of the park with the pesto citrus gnocchi YUM. For dessert, we got the passion fruit mango mousse suggested by Hannah and it was the perfect dessert to end the night. Perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Can’t wait to try more.

So, to be fair, I would like to try this place again, dine-in, at some time when it's not dinner or busy & you could actually park (if that's ever allowed)...But, while ordering my takeout was easy-ish (the order options/details could use some tweaking for mobile functionality), picking it up but my anxiety on 10, considering it was my first time there. There's an extremely small, awkward parking with no curbside pickup parking (which I was expecting based on the order options). Instead, guys coming at me trying to take my car for valet & no one answering the phone for the restaurant. The guys were nice, though, when I explained (a few times) that I was only there to pickup my order; & the last one did go in for me to get it. But in the meantime, I'm in their way & the way of other people coming in with no where to go ? Once I got home & tried everything - Mochiko Chicken, Travelers Table Mixed Green & Herb Salad, and Yucata-Style Pork Tenderloin, (I got a few things to get a feel for the place) - I can't say I was overly impressed. It's all creative, but that didn't always translate into flavor, (or in some cases, not into impressive flavor). The best thing was the salad & this black bean cabbage something that was a side to the pork dish, & wasn't actually listed in the description in my recollection. The salad was very big, ate that for 2 days.From the photos and what I saw from the lot, this place is more about the experience and ambiance. So, one day, I'd like to see if that makes a difference & is worth the drive & parking drama.Dietary restrictions: Seem to be very aware of asking about these from what I saw of online ordering setup; but needs some work/clarityParking: Not sure if it's completely valet only, or if you are allowed to park yourself (if you get there in time to do so). And once full, what do they do with your car?There were places down the street charging for parking & signs about where not to park. Reminded me of why I don't go over there ?
