Reviews for The Black Trumpet Bistro Tapas & Wine Bar in Huntington Beach, CA

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! They are always coming up with fresh, creative dishes - the Truffle Fries, Lamb Lollipop & Mediterranean Sliders are some of our favorites. The Sangria is deliciousand service is right there whenever you need them. Read more

Oh my! Went here for my birthday and had an absolute amazing time! I have two young kids that tagged along. We made reservations... ahead of time, and I’d recommend doing that even on a week night. It got fairly busy for a Tuesday. We were seated right awaywith our reservation and the hostess was so sweet and greeted us with a “happy birthday!” We had the two tapas specials(short rib and eggplant). Both were amazing! We ordered two more tapas, though they probably weren’t needed. 3 tapas for 2people is probably the perfect amount. We ordered dessert and I’d highly recommend the chocolate ganache! Incredible!! One ofour kids had pasta and cheese (the other is too young). I really enjoyed myself and will be back! I will probably get ababysitter next time since my kids are so young. The entire team really made my birthday special! Thank you! Read more

One of the best restaurants in California, five star food, five star service. Low prices, I've never seen fine dining like this... without the attached price tag. True professionals, even coordinated returning a lost wallet from our group's visit. I believehis name was Alfredo, thank you for all the help and the great experience. Read more

A foodie friend and I found this bistro earlier this year. We ate in the outside patio area (due to the Covid concerns), and we... were very impressed with the tapas dishes and desserts. So, when well-to-do family friends of my husband came to town, Iimmediatly thought of this restaurant. I sent them the menus from several restaurants in the area to ask which menu interestedthem. They chose this one. As it turned out, they are ardent tapas fans in addition to wine connoisseurs. We had adelightful time in the patio -- they kept mentioning how wonderful the dishes were and they explained to me why they think thisbistro's wine selection was excellent. The servers were attentive but not overly so. Overall, we had a great time thanks tothe fantastic dishes and wine as well as the quality service. What pleased me the most was that the guests repeatedly told methat they would make a point of visiting Huntington Beach for this restaurant to try the dishes they had not had the chance totry this time with the wines they know are very good.

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 lobsterMac n' cheese for example but everything on the menu tasted great, right down to dessert. Read more
