Trax Cafe - AMBLER

We had visited this restaurant in the past and did not enjoy our experience, but we decided to give it another chance during restaurant week. Despite making a reservation through Open Table specifically requesting outdoor seating, we were informed upon arrival that outdoor seating was on a first come, first served basis. We were eventually seated outside, very close to the train tracks. The food was average at best and did not seem like a good value for the $40 fixed price per person during Ambler Restaurant Week. My corn and crab custard appetizer was overcooked and burnt, while the main course I chose (because the ratatouille could not be made without cheese) was an unusual choice for July – brisket pot roast with root vegetables. The meal was not terrible, but it wasn't very seasonal either. After spending over $100, including tip, for a BYOB meal, we unfortunately do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

Great food great service and ambience too a wonderful night

We dined al fresco and enjoyed the ambiance of the greenery and passing trains. We were so happy to see the cayenne infused olive oil is back! Chef hit a home run with our seafood dishes. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Hadn't been to Trax for a few years. Our first visit was spoiled by an extremely loud family group whose raucous behavior dominated the restaurant. We arrived on Saturday for our 6:15 reservation to find the restaurant virtually empty and blissfully quiet. That didn't last long. In 40 minutes it became EXTREMELY LOUD. (Oh--was I shouting? That was just to make myself heard across our small table. As always, good food chosen from a quite limited menu, well prepared, reasonaly attentive service which fell off as time passed, understandably as the two waitpersons weere challenged to cover the full dining room. Overall--we were eager to return to Trax because we'd come to expect good food artfully prepared. But the unpleasant ambiance pretty much crossed them off our list for future dining.

This charming restaurant at the Ambler train station features delicious cuisine, excellent service, and affordable prices.
