About the Chef

Established in 2021, Trestles Restaurant, takes its name from its location, steps away from the iconic Capitola Trestle. Our philosophy is simple: using proper technique, stay committed to using local, fresh, ingredients to create seasonal fare that people will come back for.

Trestles represents the lifelong dream of Chef Nick Sherman to open his very own restaurant. Chef Nick is extremely grateful to his countless friends and family who have helped him tirelessly to realize this dream. We sincerely hope you’ll feel the love and hard work that went into these walls and look forward to serving you!

Nick Sherman’s passion for food began at an early age. It was his first job bussing tables at Hollins House Restaurant at the Pasatiempo Country Club in Santa Cruz, CA that cemented his attraction to restaurants. “I was drawn to the fast paced environment, and the respect that the kitchen had. I’m not the kind of person that can sit behind a desk, so I decided to give it a shot,” says Sherman.

He enrolled in the Napa Valley Cooking School and upon graduation, earned a job on the line at Redd, which led to a rich career working in some of Wine Country’s most esteemed restaurants. Most recently, Sherman served as Executive Chef at Napa’s Basalt Restaurant. Combined with his years spent at such Wine Country mainstays as The Farm at Carneros Resort, Redd, Saint Francis Winery, El Dorado Kitchen, and Martini House, Sherman is well-equipped with a deep understanding of the pristine local product, along with varied techniques and inspiration with which to approach it.
