Very impressed with this place! I wanted to take my hubs out for Italian (his fav) for his bday and was researching my places on Yelp when I found this one. The menu looked great and I loved the outdoor patio pics. Made a resy a couple days before with issues since it was a random Thursday. We, of course, sat on the outdoor patio. There were a few other parties, but the restaurant was overall not very crowded. The service was quick and our waiter had good recommendations (helped me decide between a few mains and on the split decision we were having for appetizers). The burrata was excellent, and my husband loved his sausage and pepper rigatoni. I was scraping the plate on my shrimp dish! Both of us also had wine (solid selection with good by the glass options) with our dinners. We left content, stuffed, and well taken care of! The ambiance at our corner table on the patio couldn't be beat too. A great place for a special occasion or a date night!

I made reservations for ten of us two weeks in advance. It was the first time my family was going to be together with our almost 90 year old father in 5 years, we were very excited about our reunion. When I contacted this establishment on the day of to ask if we could please be seated on the main floor due to our fathers mobility issues the man I was speaking with couldn't have been more rude and condescending. We ended up having to make other plans last minute due to how unaccomodating they were. I would highly discourage visiting this place, it seems like they have extremely poor management, we found another place quite easily that far exceeded our needs and expectations. Trellis seems dirty and not reputable. Lesson learned.

I think this place is more in the business of running customers out the front door than bringing business in. Its unfortunate how rude and condescending the staff here can be. Seems as though the owner and his staff have a chip on their shoulder. I love supporting small local businesses but this one has a lot of fundamentals to learn if they want to keep the doors open. Lets just say the staff brought one of my family member to tears! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!
