This was so good! The spinach cheese pockets, the sliders, the pear salad and the lavender crème brûlée were outstanding!

I was amazed to get a 6:30 reservation the same Friday afternoon. The place was busy but the receptionists were very gracious. We were seated and the waitress was really great, pleasant and helpful. She really knew how to please and knew the menu well. We decided this time to order small plates and were very pleased with our selection -- sweet potatoe and red beet dish was delicous. The baked brie was oh so good and the empanadas were delicious. The person next to us had the filet which looked fantastic -- next time. This restaurant continues as my top pick in the area. Even the $20 corkage fee was reasonable.

This was only our second time here but all the food was delicious. Some very creative dishes as well. We brought another couple with us - their first time- to share more dishes, and they too were very pleased, impressed with the tapas. Probably the best we've ever had. The specialty cocktails are quite tasty as well. Highly recommend the Black Trumpet, and we'll definitely be back
