Description:
There's always been a restaurant -- of some sort -- inside the Union Station passenger concourse, but Traxx is the first to do justice to its grand, historic setting. Showcasing a stylish mix of retro-evocative Art Deco character with sleek contemporary touches, the interior blends seamlessly with the station's architecture. Elegant enough for a romantic dinner, yet welcoming to the casual commuter in search of a stylish lunch or sit-down snack, Traxx features a menu with the same cosmopolitan flavor as the station itself. Samples range from "small plates" of red chile-crusted shrimp, and "really good" (and they are) crab cakes with a chipotle kick to main dishes such as pork chops with mission fig polenta and the much-talked-about Gorgonzola-crusted beef tenderloin presented atop crispy mashed potatoes. The top dessert is the crunchy chocolate truffle cake with crème anglaise.
