Trapeze Restaurant - Burlingame

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.

We had a nice experience at Trapeze; this was our second time here. My steak was perfect, as was my Manhattan cocktail. Trapeze is great for a special night out. The ambiance and location are charming and the service attentive, but not overbearing.
