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.

    This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine’s Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.

    The noise level is very high and they need to turn off the large TV. Prtices are reasonable.

    I had a reservation, but we were half an hour early and they took us in. It was nice to be in a restaurant where you could actually hear your person with you talking. The noise level was really low. Quite a selection of different entrées. Food was very good. Service was excellent. Yes I would refer people to this restaurant.

    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.

    The food was delicious and delightfully presented. Fun location just off Burlingame Ave. Bread Pudding dessert was divine and suitably proportioned.
