The food is new American, but it was too salty, and of course, the price was exorbitant. I felt like the food was like an expensive French Restaurant: high price, but not enough to eat. We expected better value than what we got. Service was fine and the menu choice was really very limited.

Children’s menu was just a smaller plate of the adult menu. The entrees were not kid friendly. Entrees had a lot of purée. I would say that the word was mushy to describe them. Bread was salty and desserts were literally samples.

We were there to celebrate both Mother's Day and a career milestone, and Trummer's did not disappoint! JoJo was a wonderful server and provided excellent recommendations on both food and drink. The ambiance was wonderful - corner table on the second floor by the fireplace was very peaceful - and allowed for easy conversation over our meal. We will be back for another wonderful experience at Trummer's ASAP! Thank you for a memorable evening.

Service was slower than usual due to what appeared to be understaffing for the dining area. Only one server was covering 6-8 tables with minimal help. One entree food item (venison filet) failed to meet normal taste and quality standards for Trummer’s. Otherwise, the overall experience and other food and drinks items were great.

Trummer’s is absolutely amazing! I reserved a table for my bridal party as a thank you to them for going through the wedding season with me. The server who assisted us, Jojo, was a delight to be around and made our lunch so much more fun. I ordered the bbq bone marrow, the cioppino, and we caught their signature cocktail, The Titanic, on sale for $8! A beautiful restaurant, beautiful staff, and a lovely time all around.
