The desserts are TRACE are really interesting and tasty things, and I recommend trying one or two after a meal. The dinner isn't cheap, but I've had some seasonal fish dishes that really hit the spot. I had a $25 gift card which I took as an excuse to go lunch-crazy on a ridiculous, fancy burger (I added a crab cake and avocados which came out to about the value of the card - it came with a small house slaw) and it was tasty, but not juicy or bloody enough. For free, yes, certainly not worth $25 dollars and if I ordered it again I would ask for it rare and skip the crab cake which added very little in the way of flavor. Nice ambiance, great liquor/wine list (beer selection not too impressive), overall I do enjoy TRACE.
