Honestly, this place wasn't even on my radar -- it took a business dinner to get me through the door, and I'm so glad it did. The format is a fixed daily menu with two choices per course across four courses. I went with the cured salmon salad, gulf shrimp risotto, seared branzino, and milk chocolate panna cotta. Every single dish landed. The salmon was a refined, clean opener; the risotto was rich without being heavy; the branzino was perfectly seared; and the panna cotta was a quietly elegant finish. A heads up: portions are on the smaller side, but that's by design -- this is a meal meant to be savored, not rushed. Lean into it. Service was attentive and polished from start to finish, exactly what you'd hope for at this level. If a business dinner is what it takes to discover a gem like this, book more business dinners. read more

As per my other review, I came back with an open mind to give trestle another chance! I did take a look at the menu before hand I was really excited for the food. The flavors were much better for my palette, and the service was wonderful. I did really enjoy the pork, salmon and pasta (my friend and I ordered various things to share) as their flavors really complimented each other! With that said, I still feel like it misses the mark for me. It is a place that I would go to if one of my friends or colleagues really wanted to, but not a place I would personally seek out. read more

Portion size is a little small but overall pretty good. We made a reservation because it was on the Michelin guide. Ambiance inside is cozy and a great date night place. I went during their anniversary where they had a tasting menu which I thought was pretty good for the price. Would I go again? Probably not, but worth the experience. read more

Writing updates this recent to my previous one is a rare thing but I would like to commend the restaurant for my last visit. With visitors from a foreign country meeting me for weeknight dinner, I asked their cuisine and food preference since we only had this meal with their busy schedule. I made a 5:45 pm reservation on a Wednesday and the guests and arrived early. We were seated at the 2nd table to the right as the dining room started to fill. This is when things got strange (in a good way) as our waiter referenced me by my 1st name as did the host. I didn't think much of it as the experience started. The format remains the same with a set menu for a four-course meal with two options for each course. Just as a teaser, here is what I enjoyed. (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=mlOTp-ts6sk78BRSuZ6Yjw) - presentation was fine dining style, (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=WcbGi9YqoqsxqUOm4OgKuQ), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=4e32dU3Pa6DLvphkU9lxdQ), and (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=hrhewclMcb1AUOLpgype1Q). My apologies for forgetting to photograph my chocolate layer cake. As usual, everything was delicious. Kudos and big thanks to Charlie who waited on our party and was very upbeat and helpful, definitely above and beyond. Also, shout out to Lucas, who managed the front of the house. Also, thanks to Jian for rewarding me for my loyalty to this group's restaurants. I still need to try that place near J Town, hopefully sooner than later. read more

It's been a long while since we revisited Trstle and it is still holding up the reputation of it cozy atmosphere, great service, delicious food and now I believe they have the most reasonable price for SF. There ia public parking lot next door, it is online paid parking and ensure you click on all the necessary button to complete the payment process as I started it but failed to push the last confirmation button and ended up with a ticket. Since I have a screen shot of my payment screen for technical error I got a reduce payment but it's sure put a damper to the nice evening. Overall, everyone in our group were very happy with their dinner choices. We appreciate the warm service and professionalism from the entire team. We will be back this time sooner. read more

3.5/5 Perhaps the day I went just didn't hit as hard b/c my friend has been here 5+ times and she said this menu was the most mid yet... My friend and I had a reservation for 7:30pm on a Tuesday. We were seated quickly and then ordered the entire tasting menu ($104 + they also have an automatic 20% service + automatic 6% SF fee). The menu is seasonal! We had gotten: Waldorf Salad (3/5) Walnuts were yummy but overall just a standard salad Roasted Chicken Soup - (2/5) I fear I did not like this one it was just chicken soup Saffron Risotto - (3/5) very heavy and rich but in a way where I didn't want to finish it. Mushroom Stroganoff Pappardelle - (4/5) creamy & pasta was al dente! Crispy Pork Schnitzel (3/5) - was indeed crispy but the dish itself was not unique for me Seared Ling Cod (4/5) - the cod itself was seared nicely and the skin was crispy but the star of the show here was the Herb Spatzle with the Beurre Rouge; the spatzle was chewy and the beurre rouge was so smooth and rich). Vanilla Pot de Crème (3.5/5) - Brown sugar tuile was yummy in combination with the custard: not too sweet. Chocolate Layer Cake (3/5) - Peanut butter with the chocolate was yummy but I personally don't like cherry in cakes so that lowkey ruined it for me. Overall, I would go again for another menu but not the current one. read more

I had an incredible experience here last Tuesday night during a work trip to SF. Called ahead while walking from the hotel and asked if they accept walk ins and the manager mentioned he would save me a seat... good start already, whole staff was unbelievable professional while I dined here. 52 dollars, 4 great courses, 3 of which were some of the best bites I've ever had. This was truly a 5 star experience. I chose the panzanella salad/app and omfg this was the best salad I ever had holy shit For the second course I chose the risotto and omg dude the first two courses I had at this place were incredible, easily the best risotto and salad dish I've ever had. The entree was a bit underwhelming, if I did it again I would go w the steak as opposed to the sole/white fish it was beautiful just really light. I had the chocolate tart for the dinner and it was incredible. See the pics below, I could not recommend this place enough and would absolutely stop by again! I plan on coming back when I'm in town for work again in June. Great service, ambiance and food! read more

We had a party of 5 on a Friday night. After all these years, this place definitely continues the neighborhood joint vibes--warm, welcoming, and very attentive wait staff. The prix fixe menu is a wise approach to the menu which provides choices but certainly isn't overwhelming. At $52 per person, undoubtedly a great value for delicious food and cozy atmosphere. read more

Waitstaff were attentive and professional -- this was just a lovely experience top to bottom. The carrot bisque with rhubarb, French feta, and harissa was the hit of the night but we also loved our salmon main courses with green garlic foam, the truffle penne with charred asparagus, and a wild mushroom risotto. Dessert was special with tres leches cake with a hint of frangipani and fresh berries. Some French press coffee on the side rounded out the end of our meal. It was just the right amount of food for us -- perfectly timed courses with attention to detail. The concept of a rotating menu and communal family-style experience is lovely but I'll be dreaming about that carrot, rhubarb, feta, harissa flavor combo and wishing I could order it whenever I want. We'll be back! Highly recommend for an affordable, Michelin-level experience! read more

We visited Trestle to partake in their New Year's Eve special menu at 11PM on Wednesday night (snagged the last reservation!). I had been previously and had an amazing experience, but that was several years back, so I was excited to come back and participate in the fun NYE experience. The menu was priced higher than their typical dinner menu at $95pp with an optional $65 wine pairing offered as well. Since we had such a late reservation, they had run out of the white truffle supplement. The service was very quick and attentive, and we loved chatting with our waiter. They brought out complimentary champagne and fun party props for the countdown at midnight which was so cute! On the food side, we did feel like for the higher price point of the menu, some of the dishes were lacking something - the crab tagliarini felt like it could have used more sauce, a bit of salt and more acid. The passionfruit vinaigrette on the yellowtail crudo was delicious but overpowered the fresh fish and fresh fresnos, rather than pickled, would offer spice to cut through some of the sweetness. However, the porcini risotto was so umami-rich and delicious, with perfectly cooked mushrooms. The seared scallops were also amazing and the cauliflower apple slaw was such an unexpectedly good pairing! I will always love a pavlova and the winter citrus was at its peak juiciness. The chocolate opera cake would be well-loved by chocolate and coffee lovers. While we did enjoy the menu, I'm looking forward to coming back to enjoy one of their standard menus! read more

Decided to try trestle for a joint bday dinner with the bf. Reservations were pretty easy to get. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. Wood floors and high ceilings meant a pretty loud atmosphere at peak dinning hours. They give you a selector of 2 options for a 4 course meal. My bf and I have completely different tastes so we got opposites. Highlights were the shrimp risotto. Would recommend for a nice dinner for 2 at a new spot in the city. read more

I originally tried Trestle last year with 2 friends and didn't have a great experience as my food was not hot enough and the pasta dish was too hard and not al dente. BUT I'm really happy to have given Trestle and the rotating pre fixe menu a second chance! My second visit was actually really shocking from the excellent front hostess to the presentation and unexpected tastes. Tip: share everything with one other person so that you can try one of each course. Never underestimate a soup! The sunchoke soup was hot and savory with a nutty and creaminess that we've never tasted before. You can also tell the mushroom was prepared in a different way that allows its flavor to come through uniquely. Our second favorite was certainly the red wine beef risotto. The bite of beef was tender and melted in our mouth instantly. Sometimes the taste of risotto can plateau after a couple spoons but we never wanted the bowl to end. Each spoon was great. Some slight misses: the cacio e pepe was just okay with the al dente texture, but the flavor was missing in comparison to the other entree option. The duck confit was also over salted to the point we had to down our waters. Overall, considering the menu continuously changes, I applaud their R&D team for always finding innovative ways to serve similar seasonal ingredients. There are some misses here and there, but for a $52 pre fixe, it's still worth it to come every once in awhile to try different dishes. read more

Trestle's been on my list of spots to try for a while now, and I wasn't disappointed! Tried their 4 course $52 meal, and learned that it constantly changes to whatever is in season. Beet carpaccio, carbonara, steak, and panna cotta made for a surprisingly filling meal! I wanted to shoutout the amazing service here too. We had 3 folks drop out of our larger party and they accommodated immediately. Waiters were also very knowledgeable about the dishes and wine selection! read more

Ate here with friends on a recent trip. We had their 4 course $52 meal, and between us had all the options. The staff was excellent. I had come on a mobility scooter as my friends wanted to walk from the hotel. There was only one place it fit, but the staff was very helpful in carefully getting it out of the way. I started with the beet carpaccio, which was quite good, but difficult to pick up the slices of beet. The mushroom risotto was very good, with a perfect texture. I really liked the duck confit, with an excellent outer texture and not too dry as sometimes happens with confit, but my friend and her husband both preferred the salmon. The chocolate cake was delicious, and I loved the chocolate pearls on top. A perfect way to end this meal. read more

This is the best restaurant deal in San Francisco. Excellent ingredients, creative menu and great service and ambiance.

Been to Trestle a couple times now and I've enjoyed all my experiences. Easy to make reservations via Open Table, credit card is required to book. Simple menu with great choices each time. 4-course meal for $52, just can't beat that kind of deal and experience. My most recent visit took place last weekend and I really enjoyed the gem salad and the duck. They were even able to get the duck to be crispy! Ambiance is dim inside, but not overly dark where I can't see. The tables are close together, but not elbow to elbow. Service has been great each time, genuine and courteous. One of the staff mentioned the menu changes every 2 weeks or so. Looking forwad to another visit in the near future. #39/2025 read more

My party had dinner at Trestle and I had reservations for 5 at 7:30 and was seated at 7:50. I tried the squash soup, Black Truffle Risotto, branzino, and chocolate tart. The standout of the night was definitely the risotto, which was rich, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The other dishes were good and well-prepared. The environment is a bit more classy and seemed more for date nights and celebrations. Service, however, was a bit uneven. Our server, Jessica, seemed noticeably disengaged throughout the meal. When the soup was served, the bowl was set down in a way that bumped our arm, and there was no acknowledgment or apology. The soup pour was more of a splat/dump instead of a stream. It created an odd tone for the rest of the experience. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left us unsure if we'd return, especially for this price. read more

Trestle - Rissotto - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

A great place for a nice dinner for a reasonable price! They have a rotating tasting course menu so items may differ depending on when you go. The atmosphere of the place is dim and chic, making it a great date night spot. I had many delicious courses, but my favorite was by far the parsnip soup. So sharp and bright while also being so creamy! The servers were also so kind and thorough with their explanations of the dishes. A tip is if you go with another person, you can each order one of the two options so you can try everything! Would recommend this place for a classy night out. read more

I've heard such good things about Trestle and was excited to finally try the pre-fix menu for dinner. The interior is dark and classy without feeling too formal, reminding me of a nice supper club. My friend and I ended up ordering different dishes from the menu so we could try all 6 savory desserts and the 2 desserts on seasonable menu. Some of my favorites included the heirloom tomato salad, tomato risotto, and dark chocolate tart. Love their use of tomatoes which were in season and everything was super flavorful and delicious! Their menu is still a good deal and makes for the perfect date night spot. I'll definitely be back to try more of the food here! read more

WHAT A MEAL!! I'll start with the price as everything in San Francisco for the main part is unreasonably priced. It's pretty insane in fact. This place has somehow broken that norm and made an affordable date night for all. The whole ambience of the place is absolutely gorgeous so much to look at and enjoy in a small intimate space. Our server greeted us immediately and was super friendly from the get-go allowing us to try a few wines to find the one we wanted. We both got a three course meal that I couldn't speak higher of. Every single detail was thought of. Unfortunately, I'm writing this a month after going and I'm forgetting exactly what we had but do you have pictures of it all and let me just tell you it really doesn't matter as we tried. One of each dish and everything was amazing. Book a table tell a friend make a date just stop in when you can. read more

I go back here every time I'm in SF and they never disappoint. Prices are slightly higher than last year but quality and top notch service have stayed the same. I went for the tomato salad to start, risotto with short rib, salmon over corn succotash, and both desserts, since I commandeered the other one from my friend. All quality, but the risotto was the stand out. Salmon was likely too big of a portion for a multi course pre fixe, which I'm not complaining about. Poached pair was fire. read more

Came back since my friend from out of state came to visit me. Service and ambiance were still good and remained the same! Obviously, the menu was different, but I was not as pleased this time around. The food overall was still good, but it wasn't mind blowing like the last time I was here. I think this place is a hit or semi-miss, depending entirely on what they're serving that week. Would still come back to try a new menu and see if their food is better. read more

Parking around here is tough but the food is worth the trip. I enjoyed every course here! The menu changes frequently, and there are 4 courses with 2 options per course.

They don't ask for a tip because it is automatically included in a 20% service charge on the bill. read more

So happy to have finally been able to pop in and try Trestle. We made a reservation and were happily greeted and seated right away. It's sorta small but really adorable and feels a bit fancy inside. The menu is great and affordable. Not too many options to overwhelm a person. The beer and wine options were great as well. I tried the sour ale beer and was so good. Beer is bottled but a nice selection and variety. I tried the tomato soup, braised beef pasta, duck, and chocolate cake. It's $52 for 4 courses and so worth it. The soup was light and flavorful and poured table side. The pasta was cooked perfectly and beef was so tender and juicy. I'm hesitant to get duck sometimes but this tasted great and not too gamey. So tender and crisp on the outside. Chocolate cake was my fav and could've eaten so many of them. Service was on top of it the entire night and def recommend Trestle! read more

Amazing food and service! For their tenth anniversary, Thestle was offering a four course prix fixe menu for $45! I opted for the calamari, the ricotta gnudi, the crispy skin branzino, and the whipped cheesecake. The highlights for me were definitely the ricotta gnudi which came with cheese-filled pasta topped with prosciutto with English peas and the crispy skin branzino which came with an umami-packed sauce with clams and chorizo. The texture of the branzino was nice and crispy! The whole meal experience was a nice balance of lighter and heavier dishes and service was attentive and on top of keeping our water glasses filled, switching out the silverware, and explaining each of the dishes. Overall, a wonderful fine dining experience and even better, without breaking the bank! Highly recommended. read more

Food Rating: 7 Price: 8 Ambiance/Service: 9 Overall Rating: 8 Had a 7:30 PM reservation on a Monday night with a party of four. The hostess took a bit of time to clear a table for us, but once seated, things went smoothly. We shared everything in pairs to try more of the prix fixe menu. The food overall was decent, some hits and a few misses. Pricing was very reasonable for a multi-course meal, with nicely plated dishes. I'd be interested in returning, especially if something on their rotating bi-weekly menu catches my eye. The table service was fantastic! [Starters] Spanish Potato Omelet Rating (4/10) Pretty underwhelming. The omelet was very plain and the salad was basically a few clumps of leaves with some dressing on it. Tomato Soup Rating (8/10) The soup was very smooth and rich in flavor! A pleasant surprise! I only wish it had maybe a garnish to add some color contrast. [Pasta] Summer Corn Risotto Rating (10/10) I honestly didn't think a corn risotto could be this tasty. Creamy and light with a lovely balance of flavors. Sweet Pepper Rigatoni Rating (5/10) Not my favorite. The sauce lacked flavor and the thick pasta overpowered everything else on the plate. [Entree] Crispy Skin Branzino Rating (9/10) Fantastic texture and flavor. The skin was impressively crispy! Roasted Prime Sirloin Rating (9/10) The steak was well prepared. The tomato tart was phenomenal. [Dessert] Fig & Honey Crostata Rating (10/10) The tart itself was ok, but the black pepper ice cream was amazing. Dark Chocolate Cake Rating (4/10) Too sweet. Would have been better if the black better ice cream was on the cake. read more

Don't be fooled by what look like small portion sizes in pictures, each course that Trestle offers fresh ingredients and rich and subtle flavors that leave very few unsatisfied, me included, on any day of the week. I went on a Wednesday evening for a 6:00pm reservation. The restaurant is a cozy and charming bistro style restaurant with only about 15 tables in the main seating area. The menu changes daily, so there's an element of surprise and delight when you see what's being served. On the night I went I had the tomato bisque to start, which was a tasty and not overly creamy take on the classic soup. The second dish was the braised beef rigatoni, which was absolutely delicious with little tender chunks of beef and a classic ragu sauce for the pasta. The third dish was my favorite, a seared salmon with corn mash. It was very tender, perfectly cooked, and extremely flavorful. For desert - a beautiful and warm chocolate lava cake...thing. I forget exactly what it was but I loved it. The service was excellent, I never felt like our group was ignored, and we were one of the smaller ones in the restaurant at the time. The servers were very knowledgeable about the dishes and which drinks to pair them with. For drinks, I went with a Kolsch - a German beer made in Cologne that they actually import from the country. Don't sleep on this spot. read more

I can't understand how this restaurant is $$$, because $45 for a courses menu is a steal! We had the anniversary special tasting menu, which came with an extra course. At this price, I honestly had lower expectations. But, everything was exceptional in the main courses. The gnudi were my favorite - it was a tender bite prosciutto and peas with tender ricotta dumplings. The steak was tender and rich, cut perfectly by the asparagus salad. The crispy skin on the branzino was textbook perfect. The only downside is desserts felt like an afterthought. The macaron dessert was interesting, but not really my favorite. The chocolate tort was not fully set and the tart itself was dry. Service was fast and friendly. I loved the experience and think this is a perfect weeknight out. read more

Allured by the "affordable" prix fixe meal, I was shocked to not only see a 6% health surcharge, but also was notified in person of a extra 20% service fee. Be warned, although the price advertises it as a $52 4 course meal, the total came out to be about $70+pp after all the junk fees. The food was nothing to write home about either. The starter tomato soup I had tasted like haidilao hotpot's soup base. The rigatoni was a little undercooked for my taste, but the beef and overall flavor was savory and flavorful. The salmon...is just a pan seared salmon. The corn tasted like canned corn I put in my fried rice. The duck con fit was really tender and was cooked to perfection. The dessert of a dark chocolate cake and tres leches were probably my favorite dishes, partly because none of the other ones really stood out. From a place marketed as affordable, the final sticker shock was a lot higher than anticipated. Based on opentable's reservation system you would assume this restaurant was worth the hype - but turns out the seating is just very limited. I find it hard to justify forking over $70 pp for a meal I did not feel remotely full off of, especially with a mediocre vibe and loud noise levels. I wish they had a more transparent pricing system and at least bigger portions, otherwise the $$$$ on apple is NOT lying! read more

Very nice tasting menu that is also relatively affordable. I love the idea of this restaurant, weekly rotating menu with a 3 course menu for $45. Optional pasta course for an additional charge but its definitely worth trying and great to share. Started with a mushroom soup that was really rich and fragrant. Steak was really well cooked, tender and flavorful. We tried both pasta dishes, an actual pasta with a ragu and a risotto. Both carbs were really good but the risotto was super flavorful and took the cake in our mind. Desserts were also very solid. Really great menu and tasty food, would certainly recommend. read more

All in, the fixed price set menu dinner at Trestle cost about $70 without alcohol, so it is not a bad deal for a nice dinner in San Francisco. However, I wasn't blown away with the food. I went with a friend and as any fellow food lover would do, we got one of each of the choices offered on the menu. For starters, it was toast with chicken liver mousee topped with persimmons. That wasn't super flavorful and I didn't think the persimmons complemented the dish, but then again, I don't really like persimmons. The mushroom soup was very nicely presented, was flavorful, but needed a tad more salt. You can request the bread, which I loved- it was nice and thick and toasty. The second courses were much better. The mushroom risotto was creamy and perfectly cooked. The pasta with duck ragout was equally delicious. The pasta was so fresh and had the perfect texture which is unusual for me. It was very soft, but did not feel like it was overcooked. We both liked the mains- the shortrib was tender and flavorful and the fish was tasty- it came with a light red sauce with shrimp, mussels and croutons. Neither of us cared much for the desserts; the "cheesecake" was a meringue/macron like cookie with some ricotta like cheese with jam and the chocolate cake was nothing to write home about. Overall, the service was spot on and the restaurant has a nice but muted vibe. They don't have a liquor license so it's all beer and wine - good selections for both. Again, not a bad deal, good food and worth checking out but would not be my first choice or return visit. read more

It wasn't for us; not our vibe. The food wasn't anything to write home about. The ambiance was lovely and cozy. Our waitress seemed bored with us, we say this as a comparison of how she spoke to the tables next to us. They were also celebrating anniversaries and got a special toast, a special treat meanwhile we were given our bill before we even finished our meal. A part of the dining experience is always the service and we just didn't feel too welcomed. A bummer because I had this restaurant saved for special occasions and it was meh. read more

Been eyeing Trestle for so many years and finally pulled the trigger. Menu rotates weekly and features a 3 course menu for $45 with an optional pasta course for $12. There are two pasta options and the portion is perfect for sharing so I recommend that you only need to order one to share if you're dining as a party of two. The best way to approach the menu, as a party of two, is to order everything. There's two options each for app, entree, and dessert so just individually order an option from each and share. Overall, I appreciated the seasonality and attention in every dish. My favorites from each part of the menu were the carrot soup, black cod, and panna cotta. The carrot soup was perfect for the cooler weather, the black cod was cooked so perfectly tender, and the panna cotta was a nice fresh end. I loved the amount of green garlic in the cavatelli but did feel like it needed a bit more salt; same with the truffle stuffed chicken. Overall, a high quality meal that I walked away from full that's only $45. Something hard to find in SF these days. read more

New favorite restaurant in SF! I can't believe we just found out about it last year, they've been around for a decade! A year later and this is still our favorite regular restaurant. And what a value for SF, $56 for a 4-course tasting menu, we've never left hungry. They also have great alternatives for vegetarians! Chef Danielle constantly impresses us with her ever changing seasonal ingredients, never had a bad dish here! I'm always excited to try the newest menu! Leilan, Charlie, and everyone there are consistently warm and welcoming - their bright smiles always brightens our day! read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and had an amazing experience! Our reservation was at 5:45 and we arrived to a mostly full restaurant - it's definitely on the smaller size but felt cozy and not too cramped. Their beer menu had lots of really interesting options, and I tried a couple different cans that were all great. The three course prix fixe is great, and it was nice having some options but not option overload. For starters, we got the asparagus salad and spring pea soup. Both were great but I thought the pea soup was the standout. Both had amazing presentation as well. We also ordered the complimentary bread - it was a great side to the soup, but the pieces we had were on the burnt side and kinda hurt my teeth :O We then go the supplemental pasta dish, a gulf shrimp risotto. The risotto was delicious and cooked perfectly. Splitting between two people, it was on the smaller side, but definitely a decent portion if you're getting it for yourself. This was my favorite dish of the meal. If you're hungry I would HIGHLY recommend getting at least one of the supplemental pasta dishes as the portions of all the dishes are on the smaller side. For mains, we got the seared mahi and pork Milanese - the mahi was so flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the pork Milanese was also crispy and fresh, and came with an amazing dijon sauce. For dessert, we split the marmalade pudding cake and milk chocolate panna cotta. Once again, both were amazing and I can't say I found one better than the other. Overall the service here at Trestle was amazing, the food was delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, and the prices are reasonable given the quality of the food and service. I will definitely be back. read more
