Last night dinner was exceptional. We had the best cocktails as well. Highly recommend Black Trumpet. Make a reservation !

Pizza was a little rich and too cheesy for my liking. But hey, some really love that. The paella was more to my liking. Staff is great and the ambiance was really nice. Great place for a date

I’ve never written a review a day in my life but this is literally my favorite restaurant ever. Everything is just perfection from the ambience, the food, the presentation and attention to detail, to the service. I consistently try to drag everyone I know to this place. And the french onion soup is DIVINE.

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!

Fun to sit at the counter and watch the chef's cook! They have indoor seating with a bar and a nice outdoor patio dining area available also. We love to share a few tapas, salad and maybe dessert, if there's room and their desserts are worth saving room for! They are always coming up with fresh, creative dishes - the Truffle Fries, Lamb Lollipop & Mediterranean Sliders are some of our favorites. The Sangria is delicious and service is right there whenever you need them.

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.

Impromptu Valentine lunch with impressive results. Love the food, service and ambiance. Everything in the menu is superb. We had the special halibut and filet wellington plus Sicilian mushrooms from the regular menu and it's perfect for the two of us. Would like to come back with my children to try more dishes
Natasha Nicole
We loved this place as a family. It was our first time last night. The food is so delicious and so are the drinks. The rack of lamb, muscles, French onion soup and filet Mignone kabobs, even the humus was stellar! The desserts were off the charts. Molly our server was wonderful and the owner Dino is the most welcoming warm and delightful guy! We will be back!
