Trestle Restaurant

Since it's a Michelin-recommended spot, I went with high expectations. The overall service was pretty nice, but the dishes were generally on the salty side. Considering the price, the value for money was quite good with four courses per person. However, there was a time limit of 90 minutes for the meal, which made the dining experience feel a bit rushed. Additionally, the indoor space was quite cramped, with tables so close together that we were practically sitting right next to the neighboring table. The atmosphere felt rather restrictive.

Overall the dining experience was pleasant and the food delicious. The service overall was top notch, except for the one server who took our order. He had an unpleasant demeanor as if he didn’t want to be there. He was curt and didn’t offer the little extras like sweetener with my tea. He seemed annoyed when I asked for my steak medium well and said they could only do either medium rare or well done. I picked well done which led the the steak to have a chewy and bitter unpleasant flavor (everything else was really great). It only takes the one server to taint the experience. The place is a bit cramped and the automatic 20% gratuity and 6% mandatory healthcare fee and regular taxes puts you at about 37% of what the meal costs. The prix fix idea is wonderful and it seems like a good

Had a wonderful evening at Trestle celebrating my girlfriends birthday. We really liked the intimate interior and ambiance of the place. The service was exceptional throughout the night, including some thoughtful touches to mark the occasion. We ordered one of each option for all four courses and were impressed. The Red Wine Risotto with braised beef and Roasted Sunchoke soup were definitely favorites. The Cacio e Pepe Spaghetti was solid but nothing special. We were surprisingly full going into the third and fourth courses so although they offer complimentary bread, consume it with caution. Note that there is an automatic 20% service charge.

My new favorite affordable tasting menu in sf! Food and service on par with a one Michelin star restaurant, at a much lower price tag.

TLDR; amazing food and presentation, check the daily menu, reserve early, cozy and intimate, outstanding service! I really enjoyed my experience here! And not to mention that the service was truly exceptional. If you are looking for an intimate, cozy vibe with high quality food and service. Look no further! With 4-courses you might not think it’s enough but I’ll let you know that by the time I reached the end of the second course, I was getting full! Granted, I probably eat less than the normal adult, but by no means was the amount little. I won’t comment on the specific courses because the courses vary every week based on seasonality. Just know that everything was delicious, flavourful and leaves you with a satisfying feeling. The only course that left me a little disappointed and want
