TRATA: The Restaurant At The Armory

Came here for my coworkers birthday. The drinks were very fun and tasted delicious. Our waitress was very helpful when we asked about the food on the menu. Our food came out quickly and was very tasty.

This is a stunning restaurant. The decor isn't just nice in a flashy or cheap way like so many hollow restaurant designs today. It's truly classic, everything from the brick walls to the choice of wood looks and feels genuine and high quality. In terms of the food these are some of the best hamburgers I've had in years. They do come very rare if you order them that way so I recommend just getting them cooked medium. The French fries are fantastic, ultra crispy and cooked well without being over cooked.

You sort of have to know about TRATA if you are going to go there. Who goes to an armory to look for a good meal? We called up early on a Saturday evening, hoping against hope that we would be able to get a table without a reservation. They were a little hesitant but found us the perfect table on the second floor, a booth near the bar.

Trata did a great job with our party. Very happy with the service, the food, and the atmosphere.

If I could give this place 2.5 stars, I would. I want to start off by mentioning what I liked- the atmosphere is casual and upbeat. Great location, love the views from the windows, service was friendly and fast (in spite of it being busy), and the prices are reasonable. The menu also offers a variety of food and drinks that should satisfy most palates… Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The tempura shishito pepper appetizer had way too much batter— in fact there were two large globs of batter and peppers that we had to cut apart…. Though the dipping sauce was tasty. The warm pretzel appetizer… wasn’t terrible… but was just eh… The lettuce wraps were subpar…the meat was dry and the accompanying sauces were salty and tasted of artificial flavoring. The bahn mi sandwich was too soggy, however the pork had good flavor and was well prepared— it would have been more authentic and better balanced had they used a crusty baguette, less sauce, added cilantro, more pickled radish/ carrots / and cucumber… The cocktails were very average. Not bad but nothing to get excited about… I would consider this average sports bar quality food…. Unfortunately, I had expected more.

Trata is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in Rochester. Great upscale food, reasonable prices, professional customer service, and multiple floors to dine in make this a place you don't want to pass up!Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
