The Trestle

Amazing brunch experience, immediately catered to my party of 8 without the slightest hesitation. Food was on par with some of the best brunch spots I’ve ever been to. The constant music flowing kept my friends and I entertained, overall great brunch experience 10/10. Also shoutout to Trish the manager for checking in on us, in an industry where your customers are vital, she made us feel ever more special by simply introducing herself to us and offering recommendations after. Thank you, will be back soon -Gavin

They had a few things on the menu that I wanted to try, so instead of wondering what if, I placed a large delivery order for all of the items I wanted. Order cost me $106 w taxes/fees and tip. Order consisted of: – Chicken Pot Pie ($~27) – THIS CAN BE SKIPPED ENTIRELY. Their rendition of the pot pie Included the puff pastry topper on the side, wrapped in foil. The innards of the pot pie were packaged well in a plastic container. The filling wasn’t as great as it could be and was further amplified by the chicken pieces, which were not sauteed, but char-grilled. This unfortunately gave it and the creamy broth a burnt taste that wasn’t appropriate for this particular dish. Extremely overpriced for what it was, which was essentially soup and a puff pastry side. – Loaded Poppers – These were good. You get 4 pieces for ~$15. They were fluffy, cheesy and had bacon inside. The exterior is crisped lightly and when reheated in my air fryer, ‘re-crisped’ nicely. -Beef & Broccoli (~26) – This was probably the worst dish, texturally and when it came to actual taste. Both the rice and beef were gummy and the sauce on the beef had a bitter bite to it that was unpleasant. We took a few bites to give it a chance, but ultimately tossed it. This was also a wildly overpriced dish given it’s taste and lack of complexity. -Fish & Chips – The fish was generously portioned and the batter had good flavor, but it would have been nice if they also seasoned the cod. You could tell by tasting the batter and cod separately that one had been better spiced and seasoned than the other. The fries arrived soggy between the condensation that’s occurred enroute to being delivered AND the oil soak-through caused by the fried fish sitting on top. Soggy fries, I can try to revive, although not the best, but I can do nothing with oil laden fries, so that took away from the Fish AND Chips experience, but still not the worst of the dishes involved. I would just ask them to pack separately next time. I attempted to place another order today (5/15) to try some new items and it appears that the restaurant is no longer delivering food through any of their 3rd party delivery apps. The only thing that appears on the menu are desserts and mocktails. I called to inquire and the staff said they only deliver on Grubhub now. They clearly too are unaware of this update because in addition to DoorDash, Grubhub also does not deliver food items.

Trestle is one of those great, go to places in Astoria. Consistent and awesome in food, drinks, and service. They have a cool theme with actual subway trestles embedded in their decor, which gives it a NYC vibe. I’ve been here multiple times for brunch and have not been disappointed. It is also great for any sports fans, as they always have their TVs tuned in to games. One of the bartenders, Charlie, is super attentive and listens to his customers. Always a good time and totally recommend.
