Trama, once again did not disappoint! Excellent food, service, cocktails and ambience. Brought my family there all eight adults were happy and they gave us a round table which was great! I have traveled the world, ate everywhere and was super happy about Trama and how they took care of the most important people in my life! Thank you!
