  • Southwestern France Night

    French cuisine is often painted with the same brush, but like French art, the cuisine is regional, varied and diverse. The southwest of France draws inspiration from its seaside access, its rich wine heritage, the pastoral farms and some of the unique aspects of basque culture. Join us for an evening exploring this unique French region and let Benoît share the bounty of his homeland. 4 courses / 4 wines. Unfortunately substitutions are not available on Theme nights. We apologize for any inconvenience.

              Food and service were both outstanding , I really liked the pace at which each course was brought out sometimes with a tasting menu it can take a while , but Trio had it bang on, the servers were very attentive. Benoit the food manager is very knowledgable about wine selections and super personable. We will defiantly be back often.

              Yet again, Benoit, Jordan, and team made us feel beyond VIP. If I had a “call a friend” for best restaurant experiences, I’m calling Trio and this team. Thank you.

              Very pleasant, eager and genuine service. Upscale flavours, with tremendous care and precision applied to the preparation and execution. Minimalist menu, which is necessary for this style of dining. Proteins/mains are possibly 4 ounces. Portion size is not listed on the menu for any of the mains, it is not a full chop or steak, you receive 2, perfectly cooked slices of beef possibly 3 slices for pork. Quality and precision is not cheap but for 80 dollars for the flat Iron steak, I felt very underwhelmed by the portion size. Spectacular taste but borderline tiny portion.
