We love this charming spot with its delicious food and wine, and superb service. My wife thinks Trellis serves the best pesto she’s ever tasted. We always enjoy the pasta and seafood offerings, but we also have much more of the wonderful menu to try. Thank you!

We went to Trellis for the first time and everything was amazing. We sat on the rooftop even though it was hot outside it will still nice. All the items we ordered were delicious, our favorite was the spaghetti bolognese. The staff was very pleasant, welcoming and quick with the service. Will definitely be back soon.
