The Trinity Restaurant is an ideal place for that out of ordinary, fine dining experience that offers a romantic setting in a restored 130 year old former church with a modern day supper club feel to it.

The restored multi-level church decor was completed under the direction of owner Charles Merla and features a transformed altar where on selected evenings it serves as a stage for live music, and a mezzanine level dining area surrounded by mahogany and wrought iron railings, with rich maroon draperies. The seating is spacious allowing for intimate conversation. The main bar is located under the mezzanine with an additional small bar in the lower chamber.

There is also the bell tower that has been transformed into a private dining area for private parties.

For that special romantic dining experience, ask for a table in the semi-private candlelight, alcove overlooking the altar/stage.
