For food being served as a workplace cafeteria, I give this 3.5 stars. I visited Traverse as park of an interview so my meal was comped. But, I would be upset to have paid $20+ for this bland miso black cod dish. The rice and vegetables were lacking any flavor at all. The black cod didn't taste like miso at all. It was all very bland and one note. Having black cod as an option put Traverse above other food establishments in the area, but that's a low bar.Overall, Traverse would be a nice place to have lunch, but I would go elsewhere in Gateway for food!

My third time eating here. The Food Hall has excellent, healthy, filling and diverse selections. My only neg is the 2pm closing time - i wish they were open until 2:30p, I'd certainly eat there more often. I had the Chicken Verde Soup today - yummers! The soups are particularly hearty and adding a sandwich might be a bit much unless you're really hungry! I LUV this space/venue - I wholeheartedly agree with other reviewers this a perfect place for workmate get togethers - before work coffee, after work drinks, brainstorming sessions - it has lots of cozy spots, some gaming areas, a outdoor lounge (no smoking!) - a great place to hang, if the food court could be open just a little longer...

Nice spot for a good meal in the business complex. I had the Nicoise salad. My colleages enjoyed the pizza and a taco bowl. The parking was slightly difficult to navigate since there's not much wayfinding.

Hidden gem in corporate america!It feels like being in the office but way less crowded. Pretty empty on a Wed lunch. Most people get it to-go. Tons of really nice seating with great views of greens and biotech corporations. It was such a nice place to work! Quiet music, great place to focus.I had Tandoori Chicken plate. The chicken was tender, not too spiced, lots of meat. I loved the gobi matar (cauliflower and peas veggies) savory and slightly sweet. Grilled flatbread was a really good addition with the veggies.Free parking for three hours in the underground lot which is huge in this area. There's really no parking around here unless you actually work here!

Located nicely behind the new Abbvie building in SSF across the cove. So happy that my friend brought up this place. There is finally another good option besides the overpriced foundry and lux at the cove. Similar to foundry and lux, you can order the food ahead of time. There is a big seating around for you to enjoy your lunch after. Feeling is a little similar to foundry. Food here is a priced fair. There are healthy options that you can opt in. I had some salad with chicken and tofu. It was pretty good with nice crunch from walnuts.I ordered my food ahead of time and didn't have much service. Can't comment on that. My friend ordered his and when food is ready they would call your name. It was goodParking could be a bit far in one of the two parking garages. But I found the walking part to be healthy. Will definitely revisit!

Great vibe and people! Highly recommend it if you need a place to get work done with a team.

This bar inside an office building offers a short menu of bites, entrees, cocktails, beers and wines. Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3pm to 5pm. I got a glass of house white for $8. Soft pretzel (check-in offer) was hot, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. There was a cheesy beer dip that tasted good but was crazy salty. I'd get it again though!The space is nicely designed but feels somewhat sterile. Friday afternoon it was very empty and the only patrons were clearly office workers coming from upstairs. Place could do with some music to make the scene livelier. I'd come here for the happy hour and not for the ambiance.Last thing: I thought it was funny how the bartender was very quick to offer me a taste of the house wines... and then proceeded to pour me the tiniest baby sips of each. I didn't ask for a taste and just said yes when he offered. Literally a thimbleful.

Very expensive food with mediocre flavor but great environments! This place is worth your money only if your company subsidizes<
Lots of interesting items on the menu including very healthy options. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A bit difficult to actually find the place.

Traverse has the worst ramen that I have tasted. The miso ramen soup was so bland/no salt and the noodles were not fully cooked. It felt like I was eating noodles nasty mixed with water - just with water would actually be better. It tasted like ramen that is cooked by someone who has never tasted ramen before. They should work on improving the ramen. Very disappointing!

Very eclectic! Nice place! This place made me feel like I was in a Westworld movie set. Im surprised this place isn't opened later hours for more customers to come in, but it is what it is. I had their old fashion which was delicious. Surprisingly their tater tots was delicious. Definitely coming back here for the vibes.

If you're looking to grab a drink for happy hour or get some really good tater tots. I absolutely recommend this place. The service is always nice and friendly. The place is spacious and less crowded compared to other places around the area. You can actually hear the people you're with and have a conversation. Great place to unwind after a workday.

This place has such good drinks, food, and service. Joanie is awesome and the best bartender! My favorite cocktail here is the South City Sunset. This place is perfect, not only if you're looking for a quiet place to work remote, but also if you're looking for a Friday happy hour spot! There's a pool table, a few tv screens, and plenty of bar seating. Also, they have a nice outdoor seating area with a firepit and a nice gazebo area for those warmer summer days in the city. This is definitely the spot to hangout after work and I would highly recommend you bringing your coworkers/friends here!
Love the bar. Great happy hour deals too!
