Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Highly skilled, relaxed two-star dining with a world-class wine program; food is creative and precise but divisive in flavor intensity and pricing.

Why it gets an A for overall quality

Trivet exemplifies relaxed fine dining through exceptional food quality anchored by standout game and seafood, paired with outstanding wine expertise and warm, proactive service. The Michelin two-star credential reinforces its standing among the region's respected dining destinations. However, intermittent consistency challenges with pacing and seasoning intensity, combined with variable service speed, prevent grade A territory—this is accomplished neighborhood fine dining rather than a destination of the highest distinction.

Restaurant Summary

The room feels warm and bustling without being stuffy, a two-star experience that keeps the tuxedos in the closet. Service reads as confident and personable, with a sommelier team that steers you toward discoveries. One guest summed it up simply: "We felt cared for from first pour to last bite." Expect occasional pacing hiccups at peak times, but the overall vibe is relaxed fine dining. The culinary approach leans contemporary and produce-driven: modern technique with global accents rather than table-side theatrics. Game and seafood shine, with venison and pigeon drawing raves, while creative desserts can split the room. Sauces carry intent and energy—some diners love the brightness; others find it assertive. If you are a wine person, the list is a journey with smart by-the-glass options. Families should note this is not built for picky eaters. The menu skews toward sophisticated flavors (venison, monkfish, pigeon), though fries, chicken wings, and gelato offer friendly entries. There is no explicit kids menu, and portions and pricing reflect a fine-dining bracket, so bring children who enjoy exploring rather than those seeking simple staples.
