Good food, the rail car is fairly small but it was a great atmosphere. Pricing is reasonable

WHERES CHAOS

Absolutely waste of $124. There was no flavor at all to any of our meals. The waitress was so rude and didn’t care at all about attending our dinner, our service, our meal, etc. Horrible service and horrible food.

My favorite restaurant in Tri-Cities. Never had a bad meal there ever. They have a great menu and a great wine selection. If you've never been there you need to go!

Have wanted to try this place for a while now and finally had the opportunity. I love the train car experience it’s a cute place. No standing room inside people right next to you as they wait for their table. This didn’t bother us just so you are aware. Small place so it was quite loud, had some ladies deep in wine who were very loud. Once they left the noise level was okay. Overall the atmosphere was very unique and enjoyable. Kids loved seeing the kitchen at the end of the train car. The food was just okay. The bread starter was very dry, the roll was better just not much flavor even with the basil oil they provide. I had the black and white braised pork pasta dish. I can’t find the name of it anywhere online and didn’t take picture of the menu, but for the price there was very little on the plate. Noodles were home made and yummy but falling apart. Pork meat had very little flavor and just wasn’t a good cut. I think the sauce had separated. Just wasn’t great. My daughter enjoyed her fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp and her friend liked the Mac and cheese kids meal. Both their food looked good, and most of the pictures I see on reviews look wonderful. I would like to give something else a chance when and if we make it in again. We had great service, and sat down at opening on a Friday night for 3 with no reservation but they filled up quick.

dinner in a train car? a vintage Pullman dining car? sure!! we're in for dinner a bit early but that's how we roll during spring training because 5:00 am comes early around here. the interior is done up nice; I'm only casually familiar with the period but I feel we could just as well be rolling. even though the train might could use some fresh paint in the spring the kitchen works just fine :-) menu looks totally legit for Italian sit-down: classic dishes in the classic styles, with the classic ingredients... and if you want something special?? there's always the daily specials!! skipped the red at dinner yesterday but other than that we started in the usual manner with fresh-out garlic breadlings and a housemade balsmic in oil :-) light and sweet and oh so good and we were assured of more breads as the pork tacos came out. while not strictly italian by my reckoning they were tasty and I would get them again if someone showed up with a good translation. finished up with mahi mahi on angel hair pasta with zucchini and mushrooms in a light cream sauce with a couple cranks of black pepper and a small pile of fresh parm shreds. feeling good enough about dinner that we're planning to visit their sister shop before heading back south.

The food tasted like straight arse, the bread was hard, salad tasted like fish, the chicken dissolves on your mouth.

Coming here from California and Nevada, I was very excited to see what the hype was about. I tried to convince my partner to go with me and glad we went. It was a unique experience eating inside a small train (only 11 tables) and really felt like a train inside and it started while opening the door. The food was great had the white shrimp pasta and had lots of bread and they were all good. I didn't care much for the balsamic vinegar since it was very sweet. Their moscato was also great and had a dessert treat of tiramisu. Overall, it was w great experience and have already been there twice before I wrote this review.

If you know, you know. This quaint place has been a local gem for many years and still retains that charm. Make a reservation, as there's really no room to wait inside for a table. The atmosphere is close quarters, so expect to share an ear in everyone's conversations. They make the best Chicken Marsala, which is pretty much the only thing my wife orders. Everything I've tried tasted great and is made with quality ingredients. They are happy to accommodate gluten free too, such as substituting zoodles for pasta.

Great little place! Food was amazing, as was the atmosphere. Restaurant is in an old train car, I definitely would recommend a reservation as seating is limited.
