Chic and somewhat nightclubbish with black interior and a floor-to-ceiling glass facade that rolls up in nice weather, The Trace attracts an eclectic crowd, including professionals from nearby Music Row. Starters like ceviche and seared foie gras hint at the sophistication of entrees to come, like almond-crusted pork tenderloin with goat cheese, char-grilled tuna with wasabi-infused creamer potatoes, and duck confit with Yukon gold whipped potatoes, while the late-night menu offers a good selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and entrees, as well as sinful desserts like Tuaca Chocolate Cake.
