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.

    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.

    We loved our experience, even though it was New Year’s Eve, and the restaurant was busy! Our server was so efficient and attentive, he adjusted the table wobble without me asking as soon as we sat down. The restaurant was decorated in lots of festive balloons, etc. It was a bit loud and not any fault of the restaurant. It started off quiet but got louder as the alcohol flowed. 😁 Our food was so wonderfully prepared and delicious! We started with brie wrapped in puff pastry - the fig jam was tasty and the pastry was crisp on the outside and tender inside. We then had the tropical salad. Lovely dressing and fresh fruits. Then came la pièce de résistance - the rigatoni stroganoff! OMG! Pasta was cooked al dente and the mushroom based sauce with tender beef was delicious! This was our first time at this restaurant and we will definitely be back again!

    Prior to making a New Year’s Eve reservation, I checked the website to ensure the regular menu would be available with our favorites at the regular pricing. There was no indication of any menu modification. Once at the restaurant we were given a menu which contained many modifications and our favorites weren’t listed. Salmon at $30 was substituted for a $45 Halibut. Other entrees also commanded a higher price. We respectfully mentioned our disappointment and were informed because they anticipated a busy night the menu had been shortened to help out the chef. Although this appeared to be a bait and switch tactic, and debated whether to stay, we then informed the server we would dine. So we waited and waited for the server to take our order but were ignored though other customers who had arrived after us were served. Twenty-five minutes after arriving we walked out. Apparently, if they see you as a complainer they don’t want your business
