"When Travail took over the former Bradstreet Craftshouse location to host a few pop-ups while a new restaurant home was constructed in Robbinsdale, it seemed like a fun lark. Starting with the return of the momentously popular Umami, this restaurant became a sudden unmissable chameleon of tremendous dining experiences. Whether reliving the 90s greatest hits of Minneapolis fine dining, serving jamón from a chandelier or pressing whole poultry tableside, Travail’s residency on Hennepin Avenue became a consistently delightful happening. The bar is consistently busy, serving up small snack bites and an outstanding drink program that follows the kitchen’s lead to amp up every dining experience." - Joy Summers
