Located in downtown LA's Union Station, take a trip back in time to the golden era of train travel at Traxx restaurant and bar, where elegant menu offerings and the intimate, Art Deco style dining room recall the glamor of 1930s America. Known as the "Last of the Great Railway Stations", Union Station is an American landmark that has served as the backdrop for many movies and tv shows, including 1950's Union Station starring William Holden.

Delight your tastebuds with Traxx's polished American cuisine, which you can enjoy indoors, under the vaulted ceilings of Union Station, or al fresco, on Traxx's spacious patio decorated with jacaranda trees. Since opening Traxx in 1997, Chef and Owner Tara Thomas has garnered culinary accolades from such publications as Gourmet, Food & Wine, and The Los Angeles Times, which called Traxx's patio "one of the great secret dining spaces in L.A".

Though trains may run on a tight schedule, you are never rushed through your dining experience at Traxx. Departing trains are announced while you dine on a Waldorf salad with Point Reyes blue cheese and spiced walnuts or mussels from Prince Edward Island roasted in a spicy tomato-saffron broth with Sardinian couscous. For a main course, meat-lovers should try the Latin-inspired Chicken and Green Chile Posole with cilantro-almond pesto and creamy avocado; vegetarians rave about Traxx's Spice-Crusted Tofu Steak with bok choy in a garlic ponzu sauce.

"I had the beet salad, tofu and bok choi, and rosemary brioche bread pudding. All were artfully presented...Service was attentive, and Union Station is as beautiful as ever."

"They happily accommodated the vegans, as a good restaurant should, and came up with creative and thoughtful dishes...not the usual plate of veggies some places serve up as vegan food."
