The Black Trumpet Bistro Tapas & Wine Bar -Food CA (Near Huntington Beach)

5 /5 Stacey Niermann: In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in HB. Great ambiance, great food with an often changing menu. Sitting at the chef’s counter is fantastic, but sitting at the bar also great. I always have conversations at the bar with other HB locals. Really top restaurant even though it’s in a strip mall. Great for lunch or dinner. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes so everyone should be able to find a dish they like. Can’t go wrong.

5 /5 Jeric Leviste: First try of this place, on a Mother’s Day, and truly a great place for tapas. The seafood paella, Chilean sea bass tapas, olive dips with pita was very delicious. Ambiance is good, great setup of a place. Hailey our server, plus the co-servers were on top of their game. Highly, highly recommended to try this place.

5 /5 Flora Demuth: This was a great dining experience. Loved the atmosphere, the service and the food was amazing. The black truffle risotto especially was so good I wanted to lick the bowl!

5 /5 Tran Allison (MochiBunny): Came for a late dinner and we really enjoyed our experience. The staff was very kind and hospitable. Loved our server - I believe her name was Kelly? Most of the food on the menu we loved and we ordered quite a lot. I personally loved the lobster Mac n cheese for example but everything on the menu tasted great, right down to dessert.

5 /5 Lars Shirey: My dear friend Anthony, drove down to Huntington Beach from LA to get together last night. He took me to a restaurant in Huntington Beach that neither one of us had ever tried. The Black Trumpet Bistro. It was a jazz-oriented theme. Ive never had such a great meal in so many years. And as a retired Chef you know Im a little picky. I ordered the Coltrane which is their version of Filet steak au prove and Fritas. It was the bigest filet Ive ever been served and prepared to a perfect medium rare. The only mistake I made is I didnt realize they could also serve loaded baked potatoes and a great selection of sauted vegetables rather than french fries. Even if they were very good. Anthony ordered his Italian pasta dish, that was awesome. We both had drinks. Mine a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives that was perfectly made. They even knew how to rechill. For appetizers I ordered the French onion soup and it was delicious! Just know that the final bill was damned expensive! With tip the bill Anthony paid was just over $300. I was soo grateful as I didnt even have enough to cover the tip. Yet he made clear he wouldnt allow it anyway. It was probably one of the best dinner nights out Ive had. If you happen to be in Huntington Beach, definitely check this place out. It may be expenive yet well worth it. The free flan and NY cheese cake for my early B-day celebration was over the top. I highly recommend and 5 stars in my book. If youre in Huntington Beach California I strongly recommend you go there.
