“Trillium Cafe is a new favorite of ours. They deliver the freshest ingredients cooked with respect for the quality, no matter the season. From a ‘Local Dungeness Crab Strudel’ with Meyer lemon marmalade that lets the sweet crab shine to a ‘Housemade Shellfish Fettuccine’ chock full of perfectly cooked clams, scallops, pawns and Andouille sausage, or a tender grilled organic Pork Chop smothered in root vegetable puree and apple cider reduction, you will be very pleased with your selection. The wine list is very local wine friendly with a knowledgeable staff and chef owners who can help you with a perfect pairing. Desserts are divine and they serve great coffee.
