Traxx Restaurant
Just when you thought we were through with our Union Station-ness...we can't spend a few days at one of LA's most beautiful landmarks without discussing Traxx -- a fine dining restaurant located in the station itself.The food is California organic, with great salads (especially the caesar -- it will blow your mind!), entrees with an Asian flair, like skirt steak with baby bok choy and their french fries are to die for.
They have a unique wine list, full of tough to get small labels. The staff is friendly and capable, and though dressed in white shirts and black ties, there's a kind of familiarity among them, like family.
Sometimes the menu runs stumbles -- notably an over-spiced lentil soup (needlessly hot) that was a special, and the mushroom risotto which never quite gets off the ground, but the main courses themselves are seasonal and perfectly pitched, like the salmon with melted leeks.
Go to Union Station. Eat some yummy food. Feel yourself walking the knife's edge of Los Angeles' gorgeous past and its shining future.
