TRATA: The Restaurant At The Armory

Tried the chicken Cobb salad at TRATA tonight. The atmosphere is great — a modern, upscale-casual spot in Rochester with a lively vibe and a big craft beer selection. � As for the salad, the bacon was definitely the highlight — crispy, flavorful, and the best part of the dish. Unfortunately, the rest of the salad fell a little flat. The ingredients themselves were fine, but overall it tasted pretty bland, and the blue cheese jalapeño dressing was very subtle, almost hard to taste. Not terrible, but not something I’d rush back for either.

The atmosphere at Trata’s is unique. Food was enjoyable and I don’t think I’ve had a better burger. I enjoyed the selection of beers on the beer wall, which I’ve not seen before. Derek, the manager was outstanding and engaging. Our waiter Gio was second to none. I couldn’t recommend trata’s more for a great night with friends.

First time there, very pleased with our visit. We had a group of six out on the patio (it fills up quick I recommend getting there closer to 4 of possible). It was spacious, clean, had nice ambiance, wasn't too loud, and our waiter Collin was very attentative. The Soft Pretzels, Carnitas Nachos, Steamed Buns, Blackened Shrimp Tacos, Blackened Shrimp Pasta and Onion Smashburger were all very good. If you like nachos and pretzels, definately try those.

The atmosphere is modern, industrial with a unique layout (different levels). Staff was wonderful and so was the food, especially the burgers. The dessert is worth trying, like the chocolate chip cookie skillet with ice cream!

Trata, is a unique dining experience at the Culver road Armory. A menu full of variety, suitable for all tastes, and budgets. Offering an incredibly large selection of beers, wines and cocktails, served by an efficient and friendly staff. Dining room seating available both indoor and outdoor, on various floors. The roof top bar in lounge is a great feature. Reservations and special private party events offered.
