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.

    A lovely meal out with friends, party of 6. The service was attentive, ambiance was spot on. We all had a different entree and everyone was pleased with the quality and attention to detail. This restaurant has been in the same location for many years and we hope it will continue for many more to come.

    Excellent food and service. Food came out piping hot which is uncommon these days. Paella and fish special were very tasty.

    I hosted a small dinner party at Trapeze last night. The restaurant was crowded with so many huge groups. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between casual and upscale. I have dined in this restaurant many times. We started with the Burrata and Seasonal Tomatoes along with Fried Calamari and both were delicious. The fried calamari was perfection without being overdone. Everyone enjoyed their main entrees which came out piping hot and the ingredients were fresh. The overall presentation was beautiful! I brought in a cake and they were gracious to present it and serve it. I would like to highlight our server "G" (pronounced exactly but didn't want to spell his name wrong) who was attentive without being intrusive, very courteous, so kind and offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty. He undoubtedly is their best server. The owner of the restaurant was also very nice and accommodating as well. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant...it's a local gem and it'll be a memorable dining experience!

    Lately I have a run a good luck. The restaurants that we patron all turn out to be pretty good. Trapeze was even a cut above. We made a reservation for a celebration on a Saturday evening. It was crowded. Other than an initial fumble in finding our reservation, the evening was quite spectacular. The service was first class, wine list was deep, and the menu choices were exceptional. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh and the dressing was not salty. We enjoyed the Paella and the grilled pork chops so much so that we polished off everything. All 3 deserts were great as well. That was our first visit and Trapeze just hit it out of the park for us. We are looking forward to be spending future celebrations there.
