The food and wine pairing is always a great experience - started with pork cheeks and yummy homemade focaccia bread followed by venison which was super delicious, Our server was very attentive and gave us just enough space to enjoy the ambience and delicious food. Everything was a treat

Many of the food items were good and our waitress was excellent, however, I ordered a simple over medium egg and it was hard and way over cooked . It was $22 , I believe ,for the Trummers breakfast and the potatoes were barley warm and a bit mushy . The Brie starter, my daughter’s breakfast sandwich, the house espresso martini and dessert were all great

I really enjoyed my meal but other members of my family felt it was pricey for what received & level of service. The desserts were fabulous and Christmas themed.

Excellent as always. The prime rib was on point. In addition, the chestnut soup and pierogis were a highlight.

Food quite good , but disappointed when we asked re desserts. We were told there was a choice of pumpkin crème brûlée or ice cream. No pastries as they were preparing for the dinner crowd. Yo have an extensive menu & such an inadequate selection of desserts is disappointing

What a fantastic evening at Trummer's! This has been on our list for years, and we finally were able to make it, and we are so glad that we did. The service was wonderful, and the staff is professional and attentive. The food was spectacular. There is an extensive wine list, but don't overlook the "Last Chances" wine page!
