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 was the second time we ate at Trapeze. The first time we sat at the bar and had such a great time. Although the pasta wasn’t all that tasty, the appetizers were wonderful. This trip was a disaster. Though service was good, it was extremely noisy with two holiday parties and the food was awful. The polenta tasted like it had beef gravy.  we thought we had a place and now we will never go back.

    Delicious food and attentive service. We enjoyed dining on a less-crowded weeknight. Crabcakes, eggplant parmesan, lobster ravioli, and chicken piccatta were all wonderful. Discovered this restaurant through the Open Table listing and will be back again!
