Aug. 8th, 2020 03:05 pmThis week's Lockdown Takeout Review: Trestle.
We're not doing weekly takeouts anymore, but it's still kind of fun to record these. Trestle is a local place we went to last year for my birthday, and we really liked it. It's very small and their pre-plague MO was a weekly four-course themed prix fixe dinner. Each course had two choices. Because they limited their dishes to eight (and bought an in-season ingredient in bulk for that week), they priced significantly below their quality level. They also became a favorite in the restaurant industry because it was interesting and changed every week.
We had reservations for the wife's birthday in late March... which was right after lockdown started and Trestle closed down for several months. When I saw that they had restarted with takeout, I decided to do a takeout dinner date night. They aren't themed right now, but I have no objections.
Menu follows. We had one of everything.
