What a great place. Short menu, but so good! The inside is very comfortable and trendy, and outside seating is very nice, under trees, but you do have a road noise fairly close. But overall, loved this place!

Looking for a memorable anniversary dinner we decided to try Trabue in Punta Gorda which is located in the next town over from where we live. The drive was well worth It, because from the perfectly made dirty martinis through the end of dinner the experience was memorable. The service from Josie was incredible making us feel special, and the... More

We enjoyed a great dinner at Trabue, recently. Linda, our server was attentive and yet did not rush us. We started off with escargot crostini and a heirloom beet, feta, and orange salad. Delicious was the best word for these starters and they were served with warm crusty bread. There is a good selection of both red and white wines,... More

Trabue has a unique and eclectic environment. The lighted bar and vaulted wood ceilings create a sophisticated atmosphere. The chef sat us and later came to our table to see how our food was. Everything was delicious. The braised beef was incredibly flavorful and tender. My husband had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. My mother-in-law had the pappardelle... More

I arranged to have my wife's 70th birthday surprise party at Trabue and it was the best decision i could have made. I sat down with the chef and went over the choices to serve for appetizers and main courses and we selected four choices for our guests. There was a fish choice, a steak choice, their wonderful short ribs... More

Food was excellent. Service was great. Atmosphere is good. We went there for dinner and had a great dinner. There were not many people there but I suspect that will change in the future.

We go to Punta Gorda every March to see some Rays spring training games in Port Charlotte. We usually go to the Perfect Caper one night and cruise for something different the other night. Trabue is right around the corner from our hotel and we were going to stop in for a drink to see what it was like. Well,... More

A girlfriend and I stopped here for lunch. We sat outside and it was lovely. The staff is very friendly and helpful in choosing entrees. As we were finishing our meal, the chef was passing by and my friend was acquainted with him. I had to comment on the exquisite salad dressing and sandwich I had... I hope to go... More
