Welcome back Chef Rodriguez!


As Chef Jose Rodriguez puts it aptly: ''When I am not in the kitchen cooking, I am experimenting and reinventing myself continually. I don't know any other way to feel alive.'' After a long hiatus, Chef Rodriguez returns to Trapeze where he always felt at home. Under a new management, Jose is granted the opportunity to express his creativity in his work freely. With years of experience and much amassed recognition in some of the most well known Michelin Star awarded restaurants in the Bay Area, we are all excited to see what wonders he will bring.

''In addition to my regular menu, I'm trying what I call approachable foods - simpler in some cases and more sophisticated creations in other'' said Mr. Rodriguez, who has been working as a private chef and caterer for over 20 years.

For reservations larger than 10 or for private functions please contact the restaurant directly.

    Everything was fantastic, including food and service, except there was a loud group at the bar that was very distracting and we could couldn’t hear each other talk. I would definitely go back again maybe on a different night.

    Trapeze is an attractive, friendly place. A relaxed atmosphere with great food and friendly, helpful staff. What’s not to like.

    Pricy for lunch ( it seems all Italian is now) but delicious food. I had 2 appetizers for $27; eggplant parm & Trapeze salad. My friend had a beet salad & added shrimp for same cost. Sat outside under umbrella. Inside looked dark and maybe better suited for dinner. Would go back again and have same items.
