Trellis Restaurant

Sooo yummy. Not a ton of vegetarian options but the gnocchi was 5 stars. Good size portions, flavorful without being too rich. They came around with parmesan and pepper. The bread was hot and fresh. Very happy my brother picked this place for his birthday! I would definitely eat here again.

Trellis has been a Menlo Park institution for 26 years. Very classy Italian food, every dish is wonderful. Tonight I had their famous “Susan’s Downfall” homemade cheese & herb ravioli, with creamy Gorgonzola sauce. My daughter got the Gnocchi with creamy tomato sauce, which got her highest rating. The homemade bread, was wonderful, with top notch olive oil & balsamic. My daughter asked for butter, & 3 baskets of bread, and the answer was always “Of course! Right away!” For dessert, Crème Brûlée, and Ice Cream with warm raspberry sauce. Just amazing. I’m a 30 year resident of Menlo Park, and I’ve been coming here since they opened. Always consistently amazing food, wonderful wait staff, and great atmosphere. We had a wonderful waiter tonight, Ferit, with 20 years experience, and

Almost 900 reviews giving 5 stars speaks for itself!! Our group of 16 women had an absolutely impeccable dining experience! From Kurt’s hearty welcome, to Jorge’s impressively attentive service, to consistently delicious fresh food appealingly plated! We continue to be repeat diners because this venue offers the most reliable and relaxed evening with outstanding meals!

I love Italian food, and Trellis is a food lovers dream! I went right after work. There was a private party in the back room, but the service and speed of entree's coming out was not deminished. I got seated quickly. I ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer. It is cut a little thicker than most places, but not so thick that is is gummy or hard to chew. Crispy, light and enough to share. I ordered the Fettuccine w/ Prawns, green onions, tomatoes & extra virgin olive oil. It exceeded my expectations. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor and added a sweet and fruity bite to the dish. The green onions provided texture and brightness to the dish. The prawns were not over cooked and there was more than enough throughout the dish. There was so many dishes on the menu that I wanted

We were able to use the entire restaurant for my mother’s memorial. Kurt was extremely flexible and made great suggestions for the food items and quantities. The food was delicious. You need to try the duck appetizer and calamari! The service was spot on. George was everywhere and with Kurt, helped make the event flow flawlessly. We were able to have a slide show and speak while food and drinks were provided. Overall, if you need to hold an event or just go for lunch or dinner, Trellis is the place to go in Menlo Park. Thank you all for making our celebration of life so beautiful.
