    I am a vegan. There was nothing in the menu that I wanted to eat. I went there for the mushroom risotto that was on the menu the last time I ate there. It is a fabulous dish that should still be on the menu. I am tired of “making do” at these restaurants and trying to have the chefs alter a meat dish so that I can have something that fits my chosen lifestyle.

    It took the waiter 10 minutes to even come to our table. It took another 15 minutes to get our drinks. My boyfriend ordered a martini and it was water. Sent it back to get a real martini and it took another 10 minutes. Our food took 30 minutes and it was not good at all. Waiter never came to check on us. The valet was super rude and it took 20 minutes to get our car all while people were arriving and he was taking care of them and not even giving us our keys. Our car was in front and all we needed were our keys to leave. Overall horrible and we will never go back there!

    We had to leave before eating dinner because the waiter only came to take our drinks order served them and then never came back to take our food order. We called them a couple of times and they just ignored us and we felt disrespected. Also the heaters outside were not all working and when we asked if they could switch it they just said no. Very disappointing.

    I've been dining at the Trident off and on for decades, so I have a lot to compare it to. Overall, I enjoy my experience at the Trident, but certain aspects have diminished over time. The Trident was once known for its unique character. It seems like it's been bought by corporate interests and has lost much of its personal touch. Despite this, the Trident remains an iconic and enjoyable spot. The food is good, the service is fine, and the ambiance still holds charm. However, it feels like it's missing the soul it once had. If I were visiting for the first time, I would consider it a good restaurant, but nothing in particular would stand out to me. It might be slowly fading away, much like rock 'n' roll.
