A very enjoyable evening - we hadn't been to Trellis for years. The chicken piccata and zabaglione were delicious. I especially liked the large number of capers. The potato puree was really mashed potato - so I am glad it wasn't liquid potato that I thought the puree might turn out to be! There was plenty of tender chicken - quite tasty too. As expected, the service was impeccable.

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!
