    This was our first time here, didn't realize the restaurant was here. The service and attention was great, looks like many customers are there for the live music and/or to go to shows across the street at the Performance Center or visit the museum. We had the three course meal for two, which included a lobster bisque soup (Yum), shrimp scampi for the wife, salmon for me as the main, followed by a cheesecake dessert. It was all delicious. We didn't stay for the live music (didn't know about it, but it starts at 8:30pm). It is on a little pond, so you can have a romantic walk around the park and water after dinner. We'll go back, this one is awesome for a date night.

    Worst service - we had to ask for place settings twice. Food was actually ok but our waiter could care less. We did tip but only 10% It’s important to note that this was a restaurant t that is part of a Marriott hotel- had I known this I would not have come here. It was an anniversary dinner and we chose it because it was close to Segerstrom.

We hope you'll give us another chance to make it up to you in the future. Thank you, Kevin Schjei General Manager Avenue of the Arts Hotel Costa Mesa

    My wife's steak was over cooked. I ordered the short ribs. The sauce had a very salty taste. There was a large group on the patio, therefore service was very, very slow. All in all, the dining experience was not good.

    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.
    Silver Trumpet Restaurant & BarResponded on June 9, 2025
    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.

    Hello Cass, Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this feedback. I will contact you privately as well, but I wanted to make sure you are aware that we are looking into your reservation as we want to make sure we address all aspects of your experience. Thank you, Kevin Schjei General Manager Avenue of the Arts Hotel
