Silver Trumpet

During Orange County Restaurant Week, I had the pleasure of joining two food-loving friends, Patty (My Foodie Page)  and Bobby (100 Eats, 100 Days) for lunch at the Silver Trumpet in the Wyndham Hotel, Costa Mesa. Other than my Travel Easts posts, most of my dining adventures are local to Orange County and I must say that all three of us came away from the Silver Trumpet 100% satisfied and very impressed with Executive Chef Robert Biebrich’s execution and creativity in realizing the farm-to-table vision for this first-rate hotel restaurant. The only thing that struck us as odd is that it seems to be a secret, that’s why the Silver Trumpet is This Week’s Obsession…

Lovely lakeside patio dining or, on this hot day, we chose the casual elegance of the dining room with its musically-themed bright, modern decor.

First Course:

Grilled Peach, Prosciutto, Arugula, Goat Cheese

Tomato, Watermelon, Basil Sabayon

Chilled Roasted Corn Soup

Main Course:

Lobster Pot au Feu

Grilled Scallops, Watercress, Oil-cured Tomatoes, Citrus Emulsion

Pan Roasted Chicken Breast, Wilted Spinach, Crispy Onions, Truffled Chicken Broth

 Dessert:

Kettle Corn Sundae

By the end of the afternoon, we owned the place!

(truthfully, we lingered and the staff prepared for a buy-out by clearing around us 🙂 )

The Silver Trumpet’s close proximity to South Coast Plaza and the surrounding high-rise office buildings makes it a natural choice for business lunches or post shopping nosh. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner it’s also the perfect place for those power breakfast meetings or dinner with clients. Just steps away from Segerstrom Center for the Arts, lovers of the arts can enjoy their pre-fixe theatre menu.
