"A meal at Travail Kitchen & Amusements may be the metro’s most unique culinary experience, with a 22-course seasonal tasting menu that’s as much entertainment as it is dinner. Thanks to an open kitchen and chefs who double as servers, diners are fully immersed in a molecular gastronomy-inspired culinary spectacle. For something more casual and budget-friendly, check out Nouvelle Kitchen & Brewery across the street, which is owned by the Travail team and serves creative pizzas and burgers with bold global flavors." - Stacy Brooks
