  • 5 star ratingFive stars for ambience and effort. They could Improve the food selection Significantly by adding gluten-free vegan. It's hit and miss as to whether they have the rice and last time I dined there They mentioned there was butter in the rice.  The best option is the Reiss with Portabella... read more mushroom and vegetables Low or no oil.

    The owners are interested in feedback.

    My wife and I took a guest to Trestles last night and we all loved it... as usual! In speaking with our guest, we came up with this being our 10th-12th time coming to Trestles. All of the visits have been dinners. We have even attended a couple of... read more their wine dinners.

    Our guest had the ahi tuna starter and a filet with potato au gratin on the side. He said the filet was perfect and one of the best he has had. My wife got the scallop BLT (her go-to fave!) and the halibut special. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a nice sear and the usual perfect balance of BLT with sauce. The halibut was fall apart tender and still moist; again, that oft-used word, "perfect." I had the baked oyster appetizer of each of the 4 types they offered. I still do not have a favorite because they are all so tasty! My main was the shrimp cavatappi which was creamy and delicious. I did not eat all of my meal because I wanted to savor it again as a leftover and save room for dessert. I had the huge brownie which is decadent but not quite as rich as some. With a coffee, it capped off a wonderful evening of food and fun at Trestles.

    Nick, our server, was excellent. He is very helpful and attentive during our meals. He also informed me that I may not have to wait too long to get my cappuccino. They are expecting to get a machine in a couple months. Fingers X-ed.

  • They make the best beet salad, shrimp, and oysters I’ve ever had. They even cut open the king crab legs so you don’t need to do it yourself. Server Brittany is the nicest and fastest server I’ve had!

  • 5 star ratingOne of the weekly local mini-magazines came in the mail and featured the top restaurants in the southern Metro area.  Having lived in Southern California for 26 years before returning to Denver, I was pleasantly surprised to see Trestles Coastal Cuisine on the list.  (Trestles is a famous beach in... read more SoCal, especially for surfers). My wife and I decided to try it that evening and were luckily able to get a reservation.

    We were 15 minutes early and were told we could get a drink at the bar and review the menu.  Before we could move to the bar, Mimi - the owner running the front of the house, her husband is the chef - stepped in and said she had a table for us.  It turned out to be right next to the delicious dessert cart.  I'll get to that later.

    We were anxious to experience as much of the seafood options as possible and started with delicious oyster shooters. Trestles offers either Breckinridge or Skadi Aquivit vodkas with their house made Bloody Mary mix.  If you like shooters, this is definitely a fun start to your experience. We followed this with an order of Kumamoto oysters on the half shell.  They were delicious!  We then moved to their Annapolis crab cakes.  These are made with Maryland Blue lump crab meat, have a fantastic sauce and are a must have (if you like crab). [Side note: they were so good, I opted to have the dinner version of the crab cakes on our second visit.].   For dinner, my wife had the seared sea scallops, made with certified dry scallops.  They were some of the best scallops she has had in a long time.  I went with one of the fresh fish of the day and thoroughly enjoyed my halibut.

    The deserts all look so wonderful.  I have to say we decided to order two, take one home to eat over a couple of days.  We sent with the brownie, which was the only disappointing item of the evening.  It needed some contrasting flavor.  It was just sweet on sweet on sweet.  The other desert, a large homage to a Boston Cream donut was delicious and we had small pieces of it with our coffee the next couple of days.   The cakes look fantastic, but we didn't try them this trip.

    Trestles Coastal Cuisine is a wonderful place to enjoy some very fresh seafood, lamb, and steak that is perfectly prepared.  The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of things all night.  We have now been here twice and will put it in our regular date night rotation. Stop by and enjoy.  Say "Hi" to Mimi. :)
