 Travail Kitchen and Amusements Restaurant Review: Travail Kitchen and Amusements, located a few miles north of Minneapolis, takes the last word in its name very seriously. The restaurant occupies a fluid space where it almost seems there's little difference between the spacious dining room and the open barrier-free kitchen, where up to 27 people might be creating art on the plate, some dancing to the funk on the hi-fi. Each of them also acts as a server, bringing out up to 20 courses of molecular-meets-Midwest fare. The menu changes often, but expect small-portioned plates that might include savory beignets or octopus with carrot "Dippin' Dots" (flash-frozen spheres). Dessert may be something like an apple cider treated to liquid nitrogen tableside, altering it from liquid to solid. Servers are happy to suggest wines to pair with your meal. Reservations are available via a ticketed system, but there are still a limited number of seats for walk-ins. |
