   The experience was fantastic. We had dinner for our anniversary and were celebrated by staff. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. They even brought us a cake for our anniversary. We highly recommend to try

   Bar tender did a great job explaining the thousand wines they have and track down a sweet red for me. The server was attentive without being over bearing. Would recommend to friends and would do again for date night

   Trummer's is a place to go in Clifton, Virginia for a relaxing lunch/ dinner. Justin, our server was attentive and pleasant. He quickly bought water, drinks to our table as soon as we sat down. The menu is good, and there are a variety of choices. I ordered the pork schnitzel which was a little dry. It would have been helpful if there had been a vegetable to go along with the schnitzel. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I will definitely be back.

   No manager was present during the 3 hour lunch service. The one waiter attending the dining room was often gone 15 minutes or more, even when 5 tables were seated. He was pleasant when he was there but seemed drawn to doing something else than waiting tables or remembering basic requests like more water

   The staff at Trummers went above and beyond to give my mom a great birthday brunch. The little extras made it very special and she felt spoiled (as she should)!

   This was our first visit to Trummer’s for brunch. The food was excellent, ambiance and service great, and was overall a great experience. We will go back for another celebration in the future!

   Unfortunately our dinner experience was mediocre. Our table was right next to the kitchen entrance not the nicest ambiance. We ordered the pumpernickel bread as one of our starters it was warm but extremely dry. My husband had the 3 course Austrian menu. The theme of his dinner was potatoes. His appetizer was a Mache salad with potatoes 80% and salad 20%. The entree was a goulash that had about 4 pieces of meat and 20 potatoes… it seems that the kitchen had an abundance of potatoes. My vegetarian pasta did was not very flavorful. Another member of our party had Prime Rib which was fine it came with a rather large bowl of…. You guessed it potatoes. My son had the lamb shank which was the only entree that actually looked and tasted like something We would expect from Trummers. Overall somewhat disappointing. For spending $300+ it was definitely not to memorable. Or at least not in a good way.

   I always wanted to visit this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The hostess was warm and welcoming. The dining room was open, spacious and had a great ambiance. Our server was a delight and helped us decide our food choices. He always gave us very good information about the restaurant and its history. The food was amazing and everything was cooked perfectly. I would recommend others to try this great restaurant.

    I’ve been to Trummer’s a few times. The service always leaves a little something to be desired. Today it was awful. We showed up early for our reservation, yet had to wait in a half-empty restaurant for 10 additional minutes before being seated. Our sever was slow. And inattentive. No water or coffee refills u less we flagged her down to ask. Coffee came with cream and sugar, but we had to ask for a spoon to stir it (no silverware was provided). Every table had placemats but ours, and it became wet and dirty quickly. We waited 30 mins for oysters and cornbread. When our entrees hadn’t arrived after an hour, we had to ask. Tables or larger parties that arrived after us had the entrees while we waited. We were told “they’re almost done.” Then miraculously 5 minutes later, they were at our table. My grits were watery and the shrimp were undercooked - even the food runner said so. I sent I back. My husband ordered the butcher salad. The meat was cold (we asked the server who verified it was supposed to be warm). They comped those two entrees. But it was my husband’s birthday brunch, and the terrible service just ruined the celebration.
