Trestle Restaurant

I went to Trestle with a friend and the menu was really nice to share.
I highly recommend the pasta course, as it was fresh and delicious.

The only point I detracted for the Ambiente was that the food was a bit too fast in my opinion, meaning we were out in a bit over 1 hour for 4 courses.

We would definitely come again :)

Really excellent tasting menu for the price. Service was great, and they had a surprisingly excellent (though a bit pricey) beer menu. Particularly enjoyed the burrata salad. Would go back.

Me and my boyfriend have been here a handful of times this place is really neat. Staff is very vibrant and courteous to its clientele.

It has a very soft and comfy ambiance. You feel like you are at home.

If you're in the neighborhood pop on by and check it out.

Solid Meal Albany was not planned. Ok off chefs menu prepared daily. The chef and staff are fantastic. It’s not fine dining per se they blend casual and fine dining for a well crafted meal and experience.

Visited for one of their special prix fixe menus. The theme was corn the night we visited. Every item you could tell was careful picked and prepared. We enjoyed the prefixed menu because we were able to try every item at a decent price. Decor made dining here a pleasant experience. Not sure if it was just the guest next to us or the space in general but it got pretty loud inside. Made it a bit hard to hear each other or talk without having to yell. There was only one bathroom which made it difficult to use without having to wait for others. Overall great experience and will recommend.

Trestle is truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience! Located in on the corner of Jackson and Columbus in SF's North Beach district, Trestle offers $42 three-course fixed menu (starter, entree, and dessert) built around seasonal ingredients.

This menu changes on a weekly basis and you can view the week's offerings on their website, or just waltz right into their establishment if you prefer to be surprised. They also offer two pastas as supplements ($12 each) if you decide you're on the hungry site and want a bit more to eat; they estimate that 1 pasta dish can feed two individuals.

I dined at Trestle on July 21st, and we made sure to make a reservation well in advance. The restaurant itself is definitely on the smaller side, which admittedly does make for a very cozy ambiance; however, given the limited seating making a reservation is probably your best bet if you want to dine here. One thing to note is there is a limited amount of time each party may be at the establishment whether you're eating or chatting at the table - the time limit depends on the number of people in your party. For example, for my party of 3, our time limit was 1 hour and 45 minutes (if I recall correctly), and the staff will prompt you when your time is up as there are other parties waiting. When you get your bill the service charge is already included, so you won't need to worry about tipping!

Now on to the food. Thought a bit difficult to comment on seeing that their menu is ever changing, but I would like to emphasize that the flavor and quality of their food is unlike anything I've ever tasted before. Every item was well-seasoned, well-cooked, and absolutely delicious, definitely worthy of their Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. If you have room to spare I highly highly recommend giving their pasta a try, as delicious as their fixed menu is their pastas are absolutely to die for (especially if you're a carb fiend like me). Since we had a party of 3, we decided to go ahead and order both pasta options, which I am very happy we did as it allowed to try their entire menu that day.

If you're looking for a cute dinner spot in SF that makes all the decisions for you so you can just focus on the food and your company, then this is definitely the place for you (just don't forget to make a reservation in advance)!

A wonderful dining experience with accommodating, thoughtful and attentive staffs. The hostess did her best to seat us before our reservation time. Set 3-course menu with the option to add pasta dishes (highly recommend doing so). Asked if we had food allergies. Seasonal set menu, all dishes were creatively curated, balanced, and delicious. Efficient service. All dishes were explained when served. They have two seatings (at least 2 table turns each night) and we went around 7pm and did not feel rushed. Plenty of time to enjoy each course; and to go from cocktail to a bottle of wine. Thank you for a great evening.

This way an amazing dining experience. Our waiter Andrew was just perfect on every count. Service was fast and friendly, food was excellent, portions were decent sized, we took two extra pasta plates for the table to be able to taste everything on the menu and it was amazing. It's a small restaurant and the noise level was a bit high but it didn't bother our conversation. Definitely would want to come back here and would recommend it to everyone.

We went for our anniversary and had an absolutely lovely time. The food was great and the service was warm and attentive. Will definitely be back.

A great experience all around! The food was excellent in each course, my whole group was raving about the food. The service was wonderful, warm, and professional, and it is a small and intimate place as well which means it doesn't get too loud. I thought the price point was very fair given the quality of the food as well. I definitely recommend it!

If you're looking for excellent service paired with impeccably prepared food, Trestle is a must try in SF. For the service and quality of food, this SF fixe prix is an absolute bargain. Each of the dishes that came out were bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and quite innovative. While the portions seemed small, everyone in our family left feeling just full enough and completely satisfied. The restaurant is trendy and comfortable to linger in, and at no point did we feel rushed during the meal. This is a fantastic place to enjoy a quiet date night or small gathering of good friends. We're definitely looking forward try more from this delicious and innovative restaurant.

If you are a picky eater don't come here. If you love food this place is a fantastic adventure well worth the price. It's a 3 course meal, with 2 options per course with a supplemental course choice from two for just a few dollars more. A well rounded beer and wine menu will give you lots of options off the normal beaten path and you won't miss your craft cocktail with their superb selection.

12-4-2022 – Loved their pre-fix. What lovely ambiance, great service and gourmet meal for only $39/person (3 courses). I opted to get the extra course ($12 extra) and it turned out to be too much food.

Make sure you order their bread (served by request only). It was served hot with butter. I could have gone home after that very happy.

- Citrus & Cashew Salad – Amazing flavors. Each bit was something different
- Carrot & Ginger Soup – The presentation was very stylish. They bring the bowl with some vegetables and pour the hot soup on top at the table.
- Roasted Parsnip Risotto – So buttery and yummy
- Roasted Black Cod – Cooked perfectly and loved the vegetables
- Apple Cobbler – Like the fact that the fruit was not all mushy.
- Dark Chocolate Cake - Was not able to do justice to this as I was stuffed by this time.

Basically between my hubby and me, we had almost everything on the menu. We both had Cod as the main as the other option was Duck and we are not great fans of Duck.

Will go back when the next seasonal menu come in.

Amazing staff and food was top notch quality. Portions were tiny though so would recommend getting the pasta (+12$) and don’t forget to ask for complimentary bread :) Their menu changes weekly and we’ve come back twice already!

Great little restaurant for a decent price.

Enjoyed our 3 course (expanded to 4 with pasta dish). Decent portion size leaving us full and content. Flavour full and different.

Staff were good and a personal fave of mine is that dishes arrived promptly. Overall the now 4 course meal was finished within the hour. Brilliant!

Delicious prix fixe meal of simplicity but elegance. $39 base price as of 9/25/22, but I ended up spending $200 for 2 people with a $60 bottle of wine and the pasta supplement.

Lovely service team, and fantastic that the menu changes frequently. Keeps me wanting to come back!

Fantastic place for dinner. Came here with my family and we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience. Service was attentive and friendly.

Menu changes so call ahead to see what it is if you want to know. Don't sleep on the bread (you have to request it).

Came out to like 55-60 per person, but that's mainly because we got both supplementals and some drinks.

Will definitely come back here again.

Amazing tasting menu and service. Looking forward to coming back to taste another menu.

Beet risotto with shrimp, pumpkin bolognese, pan seared sole, and creamy mushroom soup from the $39+prix fixe menu our group enjoyed on Saturday evening in SF

The pasta courses are a $12 supplement but definitely worth it. However, be sure to arrive hungry as the four courses are definitely filling. And yes, the beet risotto does look peptobismolesque - still was delicious.

If online you see a $40 prefix menu, just know that at the end of the night you might end up spending double that. Because there's an additional pasta course addon and it's definitely worth it. Ideally come here with 2 people so each of you can pick a different option for the courses and then you can try a bit of everything.

It's quite tight inside the restaurant but it has good cozy farm-design vibes. The servers and attentive and helpful.

You'll need to find street parking around here which might be tough. But good luck and enjoy your time here!
