Chef Carlos Garcia
Chef Carlos Garcia approaches his art with an infectious enthusiasm. Carlos says that he has found his professional niche after spending his twenties exploring all of the major sectors of the culinary world and, as he put it, having way too good of a time during that process.
Despite all of his early success, something was still missing for Carlos. With a desire to combine his experience in the hospitality industry with that of an intimate dining restaurant he took the job as executive chef at The Silver Trumpet Restaurant.
Designing menus crafted from the freshest free-range and organic ingredients, he Carlos Garcia’s finely prepared contemporary California cuisine is served in a sophisticated dining room surrounded by tranquil lake views and a related modern bar with expanded patio overlooking The Segerstrom Centre for the Arts. Each season, his dynamic menu is re-imagined around the freshest locally grown and raised bounty and paired with an expertly chosen selection of wines from around the world.
