I had a reservation for 8 for a business lunch. When I got to the restaurant, it was closed due to a special event. We ended up sitting in the bar across the station and the bartender took good care of us. A call that my reservation would not be honored would have been nice…

Traxx offers good value for the money in an historic setting amid the vaulted ceilings of LA’s Union Station. The companion bar across the way makes good cocktails. They are open 11 to 8 and Traxx is for lunch or an early dinner.

Traxx is listed on some sites as an "elegant restaurant" it is not. Has potential but is basically a quick bite type of situation. Menu is rather limited in fine food choices, and seating is that of a fast food joint. Location is great and service is pretty nice. Could be so much more.

I love Traxx! Fine dining at Union station. We sat outside and had impossible burgers. Which were great. The patio seating was lovely and our server was kind and friendly.

First time at Traxx, although I’ve been to Union Station many times. Traxx is located near the historic ticketing lobby as well as the current seating area for those in between train connections. The food was excellent and the server was attentive and pleasant. We weren’t travelling but came to see Union Station and experience the historic vibe over lunch. Great experience!

The patio seating was nice and it was fun to eat at Union Station, but overall we had a poor dining experience. To begin with, my daughter and I both ordered draft beers. After 10 minutes the waiter informed us they were out of those beers, so we ordered different ones. After a long delay, the waiter came back to tell us that they were out of those ones too. By that time, I just gave up on the beer. My daughter and husband ordered ahi bowls. When the dishes were served, they just looked like a small salad. Turns out there was something missing- there was no fish. The chef had forgot to include the ahi in the ahi bowls! So there was another very long delay as the ahi was prepared and delivered to our table. I was already done with my meal by the time my daughter and husband got theirs. On the plus side, my tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich was very good. And the waiter felt very bad about all the delays and mishaps, so he discounted our meal.

I love the history of this place! The food was good. Our server was a bit slow and the drinks were a little expensive. But overall, an enjoyable evening
