“In town for the #expowest2024 show and decided to spend the weekend in Huntington, Beach. Looked up of lots of places and landed on The Black Trumpet…I’m in the food business and travel a lot, so when eating out it takes a high level of execution to really get me excited! This place absolutely exceeded my expectations on every level! We tried a little of everything, and we were blown away….filet empanadas were absolutely the best I’ve ever had hands down! From the first course to dessert with a nice port, we were just in love! Service was impeccable and atmosphere was just perfect! So glad we made the stop, and it will certainly be my go to next time I’m in town!“
“The ambiance, the staff, the location, the wine, the Chef, the mom and the food were all amazing. Go eggplant! We went in knowing it would be ok and seemingly good and we left hoping to be regular's and felt like family. But you can feel great and get great service but you want good or even great food too. This food was excellent! I'm not kidding my friend Sharon and I had a blast, visited with everyone and ate some more than great food. Thank you, Diann and Sharon (last night)“
“I met my birth Dad and half sister! I know this seems unrelated but it's not. They flew into SNA on the last flight of the evening and were starved. I wanted to impress them but also be close to home but nothing was open! Dang sleepy town of HB. But The Corner was so we got there and ordered some drinks and food. Quotes of the night: "Fancy" - my birth dad. "I want to go to the beach tomorrow" - my half sister "This is walking distance from my house!" - me Food was delicious. Server was charming. And I impressed my (other) dad.“
“What a fun off the beaten path restaurant!We enjoyed a Chicken Bowl-rito, Potato Tacos and Chips and Guacamole!Made fresh while you wait and prepared right in front of you. So yummy!We took our order to go and it was packaged well for travelYou won't be disappointed with their food !“
“A MUST TRY! Make sure to grab reservations! This restaurant makes it into my top 10, if not top 5 list of best restaurants I've visited. It wasn't any one thing, it was that EVERYTHING was fantastic. The service: the team at Fable & Spirit take the time to give their guests the best experience possible. The cocktails, and the food were all perfectly balanced in their flavors and excellently prepared-- what I loved most was that there were blends of flavors I hadn't experienced together before and they were delightful. I sat at the bar and Blake and his team took the best care of me.- Wood Fired Pizetta: delicious, I'd order again.- Short Ribs: delicious, but likely would not order again- Himachi (seasonal) Sashimi Plate: so fresh and amazing flavors, I'd always order their seasonal Sashimi.- Chasing Perfection Cocktail: Unique and delicious cocktail, would absolutely order again!!!- Callebraut Chocolate Budino: Shockingly delicious. This dessert was a show stopper and unlike any other dessert I've experienced. Would order again.I would love it if this team created a tasting menu experience!!!Fable & Spirit is perfect for date night ❤️.“
“This place is amazing!! So beautiful and cozy. The food is delicious, the wine, the music, the vibe and atmosphere!! Gustavo is a sweetheart. Suggested recommendations, and went out of his way to make us feel fantastic! He went above and beyond to attend to my friend and I. Amber is also very sweet and attentive. My favorite spot from now on. The Tres muchachos, (owners) are very hands on and catering. I strongly recommend this spot to anyone! Beautiful for hosting events too. ??“
“You should consider your reservation to Trust as a dinner show starring master chef Justin, sous chef Kyle, wine expert Trish and Jared, the man that makes things happen. This 13 course diner show included the absolute best bread in town, duck, steak and ravioli amongst others, finished with three different desserts. Chef Justin told story with each course served, the wine was not just served, Trish gifted with love. So did the deserts, you can tell that Kyle had poured his heart and soul into the sweets.Be on time for your reservation and bring a hungry appetite. It is worth it.“
“The food and atmosphere was incredible…burrata, meatballs and Mary’s chicken are fantastic. The burger and ceviche is also incredible. A not to miss spot right on the water. Savannah is also incredible with beer and wine recommendations as well as food knowledge. Highly recommend.“
“I really enjoyed my first time at Vaca. The roasted cauliflower was incredible. I can't wait to have it again. The paellas are shareable. The restaurant gets really busy during happy hour. A lot of people stop by before walking over to Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Make sure to get there early or make a reservation.“
“Everything about this place was really good. I had the sea bass on a bed of spinach. The sauce that came with it was excellent. My date had steak and lobster, and they were both delicious. This is a great place to have a meal but fair prices and good service. We will definitely be back.Parking: There is street parking and some lots, but it does get busy. Don't let that stop you, I have always found a spot within a short walk .“
“BARCODE WAS INSANSEE (IN A GOOD WAY) the owner is always on standby making sure the service is 10/10. He is AMAZING!!!!! I live the next street over and and he was SUPER accommodating and welcoming. He recommended me and my friends a good drinks and got us complimentary shots!! The shot was amazing but even without the shot it SHOULD NOT allow you from coming here. SOOO CHEAP SOOOO GOOD! I love it, AND YOU SHOULD TOOO!!!!“
“My neighborhood spot with food that has flavors! Something that seems to be missing in most places. Luke the bartender gave me different tastings of the cocktails so I could decide. I ordered the Spicy Salami pizza, YUMMMY!!! If not spicy enough they give you chili sauce, chili flakes and grated parmesan. Great service, wonderful flavors and cozy place.“
“Super adorable spot! One of the chill wine bars filled with locals and different locals playing music~ Noah the wine-tender was amazing and gave amazing recs and found me my new favorite wine! Older crowd but it's seal beach there's also a wine club membership for $50! Overall I love this place and will be back for more wine and they have some board games to play with a friend or date“
“The Baja Tacos are excellent and very favorable. The food is always good. However, if you are looking for good service this is not the place. The cashier has no customer service skills. He always seems to be angry.The restroom is always out of order. Which is not a big deal because there is public restrooms around the block.The food makes up for the other flaws.Bon appetit.“
“The cheese selection is always great. I tried the smoked Gouda and honey grilled cheese with prosciutto, it was amazing!!! The cheese and mustard dipping sauce was to die for. The best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. I hope they keep this on the menu.“
“I’ve been going to this place when in town for over 10 years and it has never let me down. Impeccable menu, top notch service and atmosphere, and the bartenders know exactly how to do things. Cant say enough just how awesome this place is.“
“DTTN 2.0 is a membership only dining experience that really showcases how a business model like this can be successful. Our membership level is $100 a month which is applied toward your dining bill. Considering that you can’t get out of a fast food joint these days for under $50 it seems, it’s a no brainer to us. It also is a good motivation to get out for a date night once a month! Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t sure about the idea of a membership based restaurant but once we gave it a try as guests of other members we were blown away by the experience.So now that we’ve covered the membership aspect, let’s talk food and drinks. We usually start at the bar with cocktails and great conversation with the bartenders who are true mixologists. Most of the time when you tell a bartender, “Surprise me!”, they are less than thrilled and you end up with something less than desirable. Not here. For these guys that phrase is a fun challenge and they will deep dive into your various drink likes and dislikes to custom craft a cocktail that will satisfy!Dinner service is always amazing. You have top tier service from the entire staff who will guide you through selecting an array of dishes. Food is shareable sizes and there’s always something new and exciting. Boredom isn’t possible here. Bring a couple friends and order one of everything on the menu. It’s worth it.Come to think of it…it’s time to make another monthly visit!“
“My wife and I decided to dine at Sevilla’s last night and it was our absolute best dining decision in quite a while! Let me start off by saying Sevilla’s has an amazing Happy Hour and it now goes until 7pm and on weekends too!!!!! $10 cocktails, 50% off their cold and hot Tapas, like are you for real!? On top of that… each dish was incredibly delicious so hats off to the cooks.We also had the pleasure of having Paul be our waiter while he had a new hire shadowing whose name was Bryan. Bryan was respectful and observant on how Paul did his service so props to him.As for Paul… Sevilla is blessed to have such a genuine and engaging employee who gave amazing food and drink recommendations… always knew when to check in with us and when to let us be… he walked the line incredibly well and thanks to his service, Sevilla’s food and lastly the business owners decision to have such an amazing happy hour policy - my wife and I will be coming back routinely now.Thank you Sevilla for a lovely dining experience!“
“We were intended to check out the Thai restaurant but at 4:30 on a Saturday, the wait was already an hour long for a group of 3. We just decided to check out the sister sushi place next door. Not bad but had better...pretty nice price for portion and service was decent but a little slow while after asking about boxes and bags for left over, but understand they were busy. Food was decent too, but again had better...“
“WOW. No words, came here this last Friday for a company event that our bosses rented out the place for and the food was SPECTACULAR!! We complained that we should've brought to go boxes because the food was mouthwatering, fresh, and constantly coming out of the oven! The wait staff was incredibly nice and easy going, but beyond that made sure our glasses were never empty. The best sauv blanc! Cant wait to come back!!“
“Delicious meals! All four of us were very happy with our food! They brought a treat for the birthday girl and sang happy birthday to her! Our meals were served in a timely manner!Parking: Parking is right in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They were very nice to my grandson and made his food just the way he asked. Not spicy. Great, but plain for his 10 year old taste. He was very happy!“
“Hidden Jem, food was amazing Horchata 10/10 I ordered Mole 10/10 the molcajete seafood mix out of this world. Home-made tortillas made with lots of love.Can't wait to try other plates on the menu. Be mindful that it's a Mexican restaurant it's going to be spicy“
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found it by chance after a Disneyland trip. Josue helped us out, he was an amazing server and the food we ordered was DELICIOUS! We were a big group and ordered a variety of things and they do. not. MISS! Thank you for accommodating us so late!“
“Good views, but its generally dark when people are here and its open. Pretty decent food with a nice little selection. A little pricey considering it's already hundreds to stay per night at the Waterfront, but it wasnt outrageous. $70 with tax for a drinks and shared plated for 2Parking: Parking is off the chart. Like $45 per night valet only off the chart“
