  • 5 star ratingMy wife and I came in last night for dinner, and Trestles smashed our expectations!  We ordered the tuna tataki and the Española baked oysters to start.  Both were delicious!!  It turned out the kitchen made 2 Española oysters and 2 Cordon Bleu oysters (which we hadn't noticed!) so they... read more brought out another plate of the Española oysters.  I really appreciate that they noticed their own mistake and corrected it before we even noticed or had a chance to stay anything.  I ordered the crab cakes and my wife ordered the filet for our entrees.  The crab cakes were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generous with the crab.  My wife's filet was also cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth (I may have had a bite or two)!  Pro tip: opt for the gruyere potatoes- they were soooo good!  We got a raspberry vanilla pavlova cake for dessert, which was so light and fluffy!!  The food was stellar and the service was above and beyond.  I can't remember the last time I had a restaurant experience with both incredible food and service like we had a Trestles.  I will definitely be returning!!  What a gem! read less

  • 5 star ratingWe came here last night for my sister-in-law's birthday. I'm not huge on seafood, but she really is, so naturally, I was skeptical.

    I like scampi though, so I decided to play it safe and went with that for my entree choice. I was astounded at how delicious it was!... read more

    My husband loves mussels and got them as an appetizer and had me try them- I was FLOORED at how good they were! The garlic butter wine reduction they were served it was to die for!

    Our waitress, Brittany, was amazing- the owner came by and told us she's one of her best and the owner has her train most of her new waitstaff. Very knowledgeable on the menu and was able to answer any questions we had!

    We had a party of 13 and she was able to divide up the bill the exact way we wanted her to- so that was a definite plus!

    The food was delicious, ambiance was wonderful, service was prompt and friendly!

    The restaurant itself was very nice- well lit, clean and not cluttered together as many higher end establishments are with their tables/booths and chairs.

    It's not "black tie" attire but by no means should you were your laze-around-your-house-in-sweats clothing.

    The price was definitely worth the trip here, and if given the chance, I'll be back!!

  • 5 star ratingMy husband and I visited Trestles on a 2-13-2018 for a late lunch. No reservation but no wait, seated promptly but it was in between lunch and dinner. Just in time for their Tapas/Happy Hour specials! We had great service and the food was wonderful. We ordered from the Tapas... read more menu. Everything looked so good we wanted to try them all! My husband had the Oysters on the 1/2 shell (3 different kinds) and the Blackened Ahi Tataki and I had the Shrimp Scampi Alfresco and the Blackened Mahi Mahi Baja Tacos. All plates were excellent, very fresh and nice presentation! They offer a discount on the tapa plates during Happy Hour which made them quite affordable and the portions were satisfying. Nice atmosphere. Good Happy Hour drink/beer prices also. We will definitely be back! read less

  • 4 star ratingFor the burbs - not bad. And being born and raised in New England, eating seafood in a Landlocked state is always worrisome.  

    By 9pm on the weekdays - they were cleaning up all around me and we were the last ones in the house. The Burbs.

    The Food:

    1) Dessert Cart... read more - but sometimes they are usually always out.

    2)  Crab cakes were delish and not a tone of breading.

    3) Brazilian Steak salad was good - but easy on the dressing or off to the side next time.

    4) Clams and Mussels were fresh

    5) Pass on the Scallop pasta. The Scallop did not have any type of sear.

    Other Things to Note:

    1) Happy Hours until 6pm and after 8pm.

    2) Situated in a nice walkable plaza

    3) Great place for a business lunch or dinner

    Solid choice for the area and although it's a seafood place - I would actually get the steak and burger here too.

  • 5 star ratingThis establishment is fantastic, it is my 2nd time visiting which reaffirmed it being in my regular rotation when I go out to eat. First off the oysters as an appetizer is an excellent choice to start off your meal. The size to price ratio is top notch. I usually... read more also judge a place by their Lobster Roll and crab cakes. Needless to say Trestles executes flawlessly in this realm, my group has had different types of dishes and the results have been the same as the food listed before. Now onto desserts, whoever is in charge of that is a sweet treat whisper. I've had probably the best Panna Cotta I've ever had and whenever I see it on the menu it's an instant selection for me to try and judge against the other ones I've had.

    In closing, if you are considering coming to Trestles, you need to make it happen. I promise it will be a regular spot for you, lunch or dinner. The staff and the experience they provide is the bow on top of an exceptional visits.

  • 5 star ratingThe staff at Trestles was incredible! The food was outstanding and the experience was one we will definitely be back for. We hosted our monthly Dinner Dames here for July and it couldn't have been more perfect... summertime calls for coastal cuisine and good wine  

    Our dinner dames group is... read more a group of ladies that are coming from manyparts of Colorado. Some from Denver and northern and some from Colorado and south, we typically try to find a place in the middle for us to meet for a dinner date. On this specific date, i25 was closedown due to us to be over a half an hour late for our reservations! I called afraid we would lose it but they were so accommodating. Everything was prompt and delicious. We will definitely be meeting here again!  - thank you Trestles Coastal Cuisine for being amazing hosts! read less
