Best Seasonal Restaurants in Clifton

The food, wine and service were great. Also I loved the environment, it was nice and quiet.

This was my third time at Trummer's. Each time has been a great overall experience. My husband, my son-in-law's mother, and I were all pleased with our meals. I love that the Austrian owner has weinerschnitzel and spaetzle on the menu as I love Austrian and German food and it can be difficult to find in this area. My son-in-law's mother and I really enjoyed the Titanic cocktail. My husband had the Austrian wine sampler, one of the wines he liked so much we actually purchased a bottle. Justin, our server, was phenomenal. He was so professional and yet fun. Between the 3 of us, we had a lot of questions about the food, particularly about the Kyoto carrots. When he couldn't answer my question about the spaetzle, he gladly asked the chef and relayed the information. Finally there is so much natural light that comes in through the full length windows in the dining room, one almost felt like one was eating al fresco. We can't wait to return.

My husband were at Bistro L'Hermitage for Christmas dinner and, as always, everything was absolutely impeccable. The prix fixe menu had quite a few choices for each course, and, also as always, the food was absolutely superb. And then there is the amazing staff. Everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone, worked as an incredible team. From the hostess to each of the waitstaff, you could see each of them constantly scanning the room, promptly removing empty/finished plates, refilling glasses and bread baskets (and oh, that bread!) so that no one in the room needed to flag down a server. The place was packed when we arrived, and yet we only had to wait a few minutes until we were seated. The timing between courses was perfect and as I mentioned earlier, the food was superb. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that, being sensitive to loud restaurants, both my husband and I appreciate that even when completely full, this place remains quite quiet. In short, this is one of my and my husband's favorite local restaurants and love to come here for special occasions - birthdays, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas - or when we feel like being a little indulgent. I don't think it's possible to have a disappointing meal at Bistro L'Hermitage and highly recommend a visit.

What a great dining experience on a busy Christmas Eve! Restaurant was full but staff were excellent and food was amazing - best filet mignon I think I ever had! Ordered ‘medium’ and was absolutely perfect! The other nice thing was that they paced everything nicely so we never felt rushed and had a wonderful meal over 2.5 hours. This is our annual tradition and they exceeded all expectations - thank you and Happy Holidays to all!

We had a lovely pre Christmas lunch there today. The food was excellent and the wait staff were really very nice. We had chicken entrees and both (parmigiana and marsala) and both were excellent. Lots of food so we had leftovers for the next day. Definitely putting this on our repeat visit list.
