Welcome back Chef Rodriguez!
As Chef Jose Rodriguez puts it aptly: ''When I am not in the kitchen cooking, I am experimenting and reinventing myself continually. I don't know any other way to feel alive.'' After a long hiatus, Chef Rodriguez returns to Trapeze where he always felt at home. Under a new management, Jose is granted the opportunity to express his creativity in his work freely. With years of experience and much amassed recognition in some of the most well known Michelin Star awarded restaurants in the Bay Area, we are all excited to see what wonders he will bring.
''In addition to my regular menu, I'm trying what I call approachable foods - simpler in some cases and more sophisticated creations in other'' said Mr. Rodriguez, who has been working as a private chef and caterer for over 20 years.
For reservations larger than 10 or for private functions please contact the restaurant directly.

    I took my wife out for her birthday at ChouChou. I’ve been wanting to dine there for a while now and finally got the opportunity. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Our server (Nida) was super friendly and very helpful. She recommended a few of her favorite dishes. We ordered the Prix Fixe dinner (starter, entree and dessert). The food was served hot and was delicious. We sat out in the patio on a very cold night, but the patio was relatively warm. My wife received a small complimentary dessert for her birthday. Our overall experience was very good.

    Excellent food. Manager checked in several times to see how things were going. During the holiday season parking is extremely difficult but normally not that bad. Also during the holidays it can be extremely loud but outside that time noise level is average for a busy restaurant. Would recommend for both lunch and dinner.
