Reviews for Trummer's Restaurant in Clifton, VA
Very nice ambiance. Didn’t have a reservation but they were able to seat us as long as we could be done by 6:45pm. We had... plenty of time so no problem. It was almost empty when we got there just before 5pm but wow it really filled up. It was packedby the time we left. Would definitely recommend reservations! Food was great. The staff was amazing. Would love to go back. Read more
I visited early on a Saturday evening to cap the week at a place I had enjoyed a year earlier for brunch. The 19th history... connections and relaxing drive into Clifton served as welcome aperitifs for the meal ahead. The bar staff and managers lendingtheir support convey an engaging, good-natured energy and converse equally with regulars and first-timers. The first floorinterior looks well arranged and maintained. (The second floor where I went before has an airy feel with plenty of natural lightand adequate table spacing.) Service was responsive considering the time and day of the week, and dishes arrived mostly withinexpected waits. I ordered a few dishes over the two hours I was seated: duck sliders from the tiki (bar) menu, salmon tartare,roast chicken, coconut crème brûlée and the krapfen doughnuts about which I heard among bar patrons. The sliders were a goodportion and had well cooked duck that was neither dry nor gamey in taste. I did not see the pineapple salsa but rather a fewdices of fruit in each sandwich which was disappointing and left the taste feeling more ordinary without a true salsa or sauceof some kind. The salmon tartare had a reasonable texture and went well with the ever-so-lightly fried blue potato chips. Acertain brininess in the tartare rendered the capers redundant for my taste and left me searching for the fatty fish flavor ofthe salmon just a little more than what I would have ideally liked. Both appetizers were enjoyable overall. The chicken camewith a nicely crisped skin and a generous portion (a half chicken complete with one part each wing, breast, thigh, drumstick).The root vegetables had a firm texture but seemed under-seasoned, perhaps needing the gravy for this purpose. The cornbreaddressing appeared as a square and seemed to have a dense texture that required some pressure from my fork to break and eat. Thegravy tasted to me as though it had over reduced by a minute or two, so a salty taste took over when I dipped m Read more
Lamb tagliatelle was amazing. The pasta is homemade and the chunks of lamb were generous. We had the blueberry cornbread dessert... which was delish (I'm not a big fan of popcorn so I could have done without it). We are definitely coming back to try otherdishes. Read more
This is a great restaurant for a relaxing evening out. Their food and drinks are truly unique, and everything tastes wonderful.... The restaurant is elegant with a nice outside dining area. The prices are a little high, but the food and service isexceptional! We ended up with far more food than we expected. We look forward to our next visit. Read more
I was impressed. From thefood to the decor and the style of the food. The execution was on point. The Drinks: Tried the Titanic,... Pain and pleasure and the sage (my favorite of the 3. They were all designed for slow slipping so that the ice can fuse with thedrink as it melts (except for Sage). For appetizers we had the Foie Gras Creme Brulee and it was impressive.. I would have lovedsome thing to dip in it but it was great on it's own. The same for the Autumn olive Farm whipped Lardo appetizer with the hotpepper jam. Great balance on both of this appetizers. For entrees we ordered thhe Chicken Breast and the Steak and they werenear perfect. It took a little longer for it to come out but it was worth the wait. Read more

A gem in a cute little town. Everything we had were very good. Their website could use some work tho, a lot of the links led to... 404 page not found. And we were handed a different menu than the one they had on their website. However, we did have a greatdinner here, will definitely recommend. Read more
