    Trouble is a natural wine bar in the 9th where the kitchen has bigger ambitions than the wine list, which is saying something. Expect oysters paired with calf's caul, tempura green beans on taramasalata, and a sandwich that turns vitello tonnato into a cheesesteak. They don't take reservations, so people line up when the doors open at 5pm for terrace seats, though the dining room has an open kitchen to watch.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Vitello tonnato cheesesteak

      “Vitello tonnato cheesesteak with comté and jalapeño pickles sounds way too wild to work, yet the briny tonnato sauce pairs perfectly with all that gooey cheese.”

      The Infatuation
    • Tempura green beans

      “the fusion-y Japanese tempura green beans atop Greek taramasalata”

      The Infatuation
    • Calf's caul

      “from the surf-and-turf oyster and calf’s caul”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
