Our dinner was delicious! We had the pre-fix and the salad, steak and desert was perfect. Also the old fashion and Chopin vodka hit the spot! We will be back soon because this is a new favorite!

The minute we walked into the restaurant, we were put off as the place reeked of fish. We asked the hostess if that was normal and she told us it could be a breeze from the nearby lake coming through the doors. We soon found out that that wasn’t the case as there were several people having fish that was very smelly. We ended up ordering the Seabass, which, thankfully, did not have a foul odor, but it was not good at all. It was salty beyond belief and it certainly was not enjoyable. This is the second or third time we’ve had a very mediocre experience at this restaurant. It is definitely convenient to the nearby theater however we won’t be coming here again.

Hi Kim, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your recent experience with us fell short of expectations. We take concerns about food quality and environment very seriously. The odor you noticed when entering is certainly not the experience we strive to offer, and I will be personally looking into this. As for the sea bass, I sincerely apologize that it was overly salty and not enjoyable—we will review this with our culinary team right away. While I understand your decision, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to me directly, and I’d be happy to personally host your next visit and ensure a better experience. Thank you, Kevin Schjei General Manager

Courteous reception, but seated us 20 minutes after our reservation, even though it was 90% empty. Joshua, who was bussing tables, was kind enough to ask which table we would prefer so that he could clean it first. Once seated with menus, another 25 minutes passed before we finally went to the reception desk to request that someone take our order. The manager came to apologize and took our order. Our salads arrived quickly, followed by our main courses, and then a waiter immediately brought over the dessert menu, pointing out which was his favorite. Not long after that, the check was dropped off with a reassurance that there was no rush. We were still eating our main course and hadn't even looked at the dessert menu! At that point, we decided to call it a night. Reading the previous OT reviews, I decided this was a routine experience at Silver Trumpet, and not just a bad night. What a shame, as it has the potential to be a very nice place to enjoy a quiet dinner.

While we have been to this restaurant before, this particular visit did not meet our expectations. The service was slow, and the kitchen was even slower. We needed to get to the theater for a show, hence the early reservations, but we barely made it, and only then after we asked the server to speed things along. We had been seated at the table for over an hour before our food arrived. The food this time was also not the best. My meal was under seasoned and frankly I could have made myself a better meal at home and saved the money. Definitely missed the mark this time.

Whether dining there either as a couple or with friends, the staff are amazing. James, one of the managers is not only professional, but extremely thoughtful and kind. It’s always nice to see him. The beet salad is one of my favorites, but they can go a little lighter on the red onions. The short rib is the best I’ve ever had, tender and it shreds just with the fork. The noise level normally is acceptable but it so happened that we sat next to two tables of 4 couples, that knew each other and they were very loud. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
Silver Trumpet Restaurant & BarResponded on May 22, 2025
Thanks for the review, Victoria! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience with us. We're glad you loved the short rib and beet salad. Your kind words about our staff and management are greatly appreciated and we will make sure to pass this along to them. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
