After talking about my recent experience at the Black Trumpet, 4 of us decided to go back and try some more Tapas. www.Theblacktrumpetbistro.com, Thought by going on a Tuesday would be better than later in the week, Same experience, get there early as they do fill up. By 7:00 they are packed. Small place so not much room.
We started out with the "Truffle Fries" - excellent, could have eaten pounds of them. Then on to a "Red Wine Risotto with Beef Skewer". perfectly cooked beef, lots of flavor and the Risotto was first class.
Two orders of "Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter sauce" was next. Again excellent. Followed by "Fried Calamari". Light breading and tender calamari. Nothing wrong here. Next and order of "Stuffed Mushrooms", slightly spicy sitting in a great sauce. Had these before and they are just as good as before.
We ordered "Cauliflower" not sure how it was prepared but it was al dente with a fabulous flavor. CJ was in love. Tried the "Roasted Sliced Duck Breast". Very tender, good flavor and a favorite of the table.
Baked Brie" came to the table, had this last time. Bob really sopped up this dish.
Rounded out the evening with a "Tuna Tartare", which again was excellent and a flat bread "Fig & Carmelized Onion Pizzette". Slightly sweet and a perfect end to a meal.
We were all stuffed and happy. We all brought a bottle of wine and paid the corkage of $12 each bottle. But considering that the bottles we brought weren't cheap it was worth it.
2009 Mason Louis La Tour Marsanay Pinot Noir, 2007 Sea Smoke Ten, Pinot Noir, 2011 Domaine de la Tour du Bon Bandol and a 2011 Chalkhill Estate, Russian River Pinot Noir.
Will make it a point to get back to the Trumpet soon as there are more Tapas that I want to try.
