Traveler's Table

Forgot I had been sitting on this review for a bit now. This place is FANTASTIC and it’s very impressive to note that true to its name the place boasts an extensive menu that retains cuisines from around the globe! My friends threw me a surprise b’day party here and we were a very large group of 14-15 people! We ordered a wide range of dishes and ate from each other’s plates so we could taste a bit of everything! Between starters and entrees we had the Argentinian provoleta (good), Crab samosas (DELICIOUS!!), Singaporean soft shell chili crab (very good), Crispy pork belly in pasilla sauce (great texture profile), Caribbean braised oxtails (fall off the bone yummy!), Nigerian Surya skewers (a definite MUST!), Jungle curry (good). Pretty sure we ordered more but these were the only ones I managed to take pics of. They have a pretty good drink menu as well. We did get an Old Fashioned flight and a Margarita flight along with other individual cocktails that were all pretty good! The servers were attentive and pleasant and this place has a very vibrant vibe. The only downside to seating a large group at a rectangular table is that one end of the table doesn’t get to hear or participate in the conversations at the table and those in the middle have to convey messages and jokes to both ends of the table. A round table would fix this easily but they don’t have one. Parking can be a bit hard to find on the street, but they do have complimentary valet parking. All in all- this place is a definite ‘will come again!’

I absolutely loved my dinner here and the whole restaurant concept. I got the award winning flor de amor cocktail and was ready to give it my own award. Came on a Wednesday which happened to be oyster night and OMG the oaxacafeller oysters still make me salivate just thinking about them. I also tried the provaleta cheese dish, suya skewers, adobe snapper, Caribbean oxtails and chocolate lava cake. While the adobe snapper was just ok to me, the yucca fritter it came with was outstanding and could have been a dish on its own. The oxtails tasted of Indian influence way more than Caribbean but still got ate. Overall the good food was REALLY GOOD while the two I mentioned above were ok but by no means bad. I’ll absolutely return to try more items. Oh and my waiter Giovani was outstanding. He was on point, kind and amazing at his recommendations. We wanted help getting to Nigerian suya from Mexican oysters and he truly took us on a journey that made sense for our palates. 10/10 experience!
