“We visited the Black Trumpet Bistro on a quiet, rainy Sunday night in December, to celebrate our engagement. We were seated as walk-ins with no wait. Our expectations were high after hearing a pair of locals share their story of a wonderful experience here. After being seated, we were greeted by Tyler. His masterful description of the specials made it difficult to pass on these dishes. We placed our order for an appetizer; my fiancée chose the cioppino, and I chose the ribeye steak with garlic mashed potatoes, resisting the temptation of the steak and lobster, and adding a side of champagne risotto that was paired with the aforementioned surf and turf. Tyler brought us some warm rosemary focaccia bread with oil and balsamic, which was quickly devoured. Our appetizer arrived; we chose the whipped ricotta crostini . A perfectly toasted crostini, a light spread of fluffy ricotta, topped with a blend of tomatoes, balsamic, and basil. Delicious and juicy with a touch of sweet, we were very excited for the rest of our meals after this dish set a high bar! While waiting for our main course, we began to look over the cocktail menu and wine list. We didn't plan on having cocktails or wine, but their offerings made our choice to abstain seem like we could really be missing out. We tried two specialty cocktails, both of which were very well received. One seasonal, “Grinch”-themed cocktail nailed the color and went down smooth. The other, the “Blueberry Hill,” with house-infused blueberry liqueur, was also excellent. I also ordered a glass of Ferrari-Carano Sauvignon Blanc (Kim Crawford is also available) with the thought that it would pair well with the champagne risotto. The wine list had some of my personal favorites, like Conundrum’s red blend and varieties from Duckhorn, Rombauer, and Caymus. A very good list! Our entrées arrived, along with more bread, and looked excellent. The cioppino was piled high. My fiancée had no complaints and soaked up nearly all the delicious broth with the warm focaccia. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and was incredibly tender. The gorgonzola cream sauce was thinner than I expected but still had great flavor that paired well with the ribeye, and probably would with any steak. The risotto left just a tiny bit to be desired, but I imagine when it is served with the dish it was intended for (the lobster tails or steak and lobster), it would really have given me what I was looking for! We also ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. Presented well and served cold, it was thick and rich. It certainly checks the box for chocolate lovers, but I suspect this is not a dish that is made in-house. I could be wrong, but it didn't strike me as though this place has a dedicated pastry chef handling the desserts. All in all, we had an excellent meal and would encourage others to visit this establishment. Constructive criticisms: The presentation of the ribeye could be improved. It’s tough to serve mashed potatoes and make them pretty. My only suggestion would be to pipe them through a pastry bag or switch from mashed potatoes to another potato dish, like a Hasselback or layered au gratin. But to be clear, my dinner was in no way disappointing. The tables are set with a tablecloth and a “roll-up” of silverware. This is fine! But a candle, salt and pepper shakers, and maybe setting the silverware with a bread plate would really make these tables feel a bit more luxurious and inviting. If these are the best criticisms I can come up with, this place is doing something very right! Great job, Black Trumpet Bistro! You made our engagement celebration truly memorable.”

“Seriously so happy we have this place in Brookings! The quality and flavor of the food for the price is so uncommon. Seriously cheaper than a poor quality fast food place. I cannot get enough of the smash burger! I have eaten here 2+ times a week since they opened.”

“The best little coffee shop hands down! Coffee is locally roasted and the variety of drinks is amazing. Fully customizable drinks that range from coffees to smoothies and the Booster, a great pick me up if someone isn't in the mood for Java. Near the port and other shops so you can grab a drink, maybe a pastry, and enjoy the coast!”

“We just moved to Crescent City not too long ago and the options for vegans are slim. While we were in Brookings yesterday I ordered the Vachos and the veggie wrap to take home for dinner! my goodness the best food I have had in a long time! The lady that helped me was super kind and helpful! She shared my enthusiasm with that vegan cheese! The rest of the day I annoyed my husband with how much I love that food! I can't wait to come back!”

“great food, high quality ingredients.”
“Tried the flight and beers were all top notch. Liked that they had multiple darker beers alongside some good IPAs.
They also have beer shades! Little huts to protect from getting light struck - they know beer!
Nice big place. Came back later in the day for live music, comfy couch, and some more brews.”

“Stopped in last night and had a couple of IPAs that were delicious. Also love the theme! The brewer was super friendly and even gave us a mini tour even though it was close to closing. We’ll definitely be coming back here next time we pass through!”

“I stopped in for the first time this evening. I decided to try their garlic chicken personal sized pizza. It was excellent! Friendly service and cool cat-themed art inside. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza before eating it, so here's a picture of their Fat Cat Pizza logo from their window instead. If I was a local, I'd be a regular.”

“One of the few places with Birria, which is a plus. Crispy chicken tacos are amazing. If youre in a rush, call in and place an order. At times they can become overwhelmed with customers and that can have you waiting a half hour for an order.”

“Stopped in here while visiting family - one of the best sandwich spots we’ve ever been to. Every time we travel we love to find a good sandwich spot and let me tell you, we’d drive the 14 hours from home again just to get this food. Thank you Railroad Deli!”

“My wife and I picked up lunch to enjoy down at the beach, and let me tell you.. we were BEYOND impressed! I got the chili relleno, and she got shredded beef flautas. Everything was so good, that we forgot to take pictures of our meal for the review! The prices were extremely reasonable considering the day and age we live in, and the quality of our food was absolutely superb! I think we found our new place for Mexican food! Couldn't recommend these guys enough!”
