Trax Restaurant & Caf is a cozy BYOB in the old Ambler Train Station. A neighborhood gem serving tastefully American cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, organic ingredients. Trax has 45 seats inside the old frame station, which sits alongside the R5 tracks. The cozy space has several intimate window-side nooks. When the sun is shining, the BYOB ( bring your own bottle ) also seats 30 outside, in its award-winning garden. Chef/Owner Steven Waxman opened Trax in the restored Ambler train station in 1989, after many years in his family wine business. Chef Waxman's early career in the wine industry took him across the globe from Napa Valley to Burgundy sampling fine wines and eating outstanding regional cuisine. Those early culinary experiences coupled with apprenticeships in restaurants along the East Coast motivated him to open his own restaurant, where people could enjoy food as extraordinary as the wines in their private collections. His goal was to prepare a menu that would satisfy the most discriminating palate his own. Whenever possible, Chef Waxman gets ingredients from small, local purveyors that he knows he can trust a nearby Korean fresh fish market, a local butcher, Maple Acres Farm and other nearby farms. Some of the herbs and vegetables are even grown in the restaurant's award-winning garden, which won a "Community Greening Award " from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, provides catering and hosts memorable private parties. Trax Restaurant & Cafe was recently featured in Montgomery Newspapers, and on NBC-TV's 10! show.
