Had a nice post-Thanksgiving lunch there, with visiting family. Everything was very good, very well done. The salad that one of us ordered had the most unusual item on it! Two red rocket-shaped things. She didn't eat them. But we all agreed there must be two male dogs out there that got what was coming to them.

We had a wonderful experience at Trummers in the beautiful Wine Room with our extended family for an anniversary celebration. Our waiter, John, was the epitome of excellence in service and culinary knowledge. And we enjoyed meeting the Trummers themselves! They are passionate and accomplished restauranteurs. We highly recommend Trummers!

Really a terrific spot... food was very very good; appetizers were exceptional. I have the pork schnitzel, and it was huge (enough for two people)... and it was very very good. The dill potato salad was terrific. The other order was the risotto... it was a bit conflicted in flavors and components. Wine list is great. Big downside was, admittedly the place had a private event, that the bar was chaos and LOUD, and check-in with a reservation was confused. Ordering a glass of chablis seemed to stump them. Simple fixes, but kept the stars from being maxed out.

The atmosphere was great and the wine and drink selection was great! But the food was mediocre and the service was lacking. I ordered the prime rib and it was a bit of a disappointment coming from a restaurant like this. We were constantly served food with no utensils (appetizers, main and dessert). It also would take about 10 minutes to get someone’s attention. The only item that came out fast was the bill as we started our dessert.
