- JJudyOrange County •16 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe food seems to get better and better, and it was good to start with. The caramelized brussels sprouts are delicious! Fish dishes and filet mignon are outstanding. The chef went above and beyond to cook our filet to perfection and bring it himself to our table! Desserts are creative but not always memorable, except the affogato, perfect finish to a good meal.More infoSilver Trumpet Restaurant & BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Costa Mesa•4.5
- DDanavipSt. Louis •14 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur server was super attentive and patient with my multiple questions about wines and entrees. Food was delicious and for Cali, prices were reasonable. Lunch for two with (2) beers, a glass of wine and two entrees ran $75 before gratuity. On a Wednesday at 1:00pm, very quiet atmosphere inside.More infoHaven Craft Kitchen + BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Orange•4.7
- RRichardCalifornia Central Coast •8 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 14, 2024We arrived at 7 PM for our reservation. We were greeted by 2 staff members and went immediately to our table. The wait staff were very attentive and answered our questions to our satisfaction. We ordered a cheese board and the suggested wine by our server. The cheese board had a good variety of items and was well presented and very tasty. Our rib eye and filet mignon were cooked to perfection and had a great flavor. We also ordered a different wine per our servers suggestion. Overall it was an excellent first impression and service.More infoThe Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar- TustinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Tustin•4.5
