Delicious! Charming! Marvelous! Going to have thanksgiving dinner there. Can't wait! One caveat... drive slowly on those twisting winding roads into Clifton. Over can't always see over the hills and they do curve.

We couldn't decide where to go as usual. The wife and i decided on Trummers on Main. We were dressed very casual, so we ended up sitting at the bar. We had a few cocktails and apps. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was intimate, and the service was on point. It was a very short but enjoyable evening.

TL;DR: Good solid dishes, cute ambiance Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and was seated in the upstairs portion of the restaurant which was very pretty and had tons of natural lighting. Only problem was that it was FREEZING (which I assume was to combat the humidity outside). It's not abnormal for me to be cold, but my husband was extremely cold, as well, which is not normal. The service was very nice and made sure our waters were always filled. I feel like toward the end of the meal, they could have touched our table a bit more, but it wasn't anything outrageous. The timing between ordering/each course was a little longer than I'd like. FOOD: ~Bone Marrow (3/5): You get 1 hefty piece of bone marrow, and it was roasted nicely. Unfortunately, we did not like the apricot jam (tasted almost artificial) or the mint gremolata that came with it. Probably would have liked it better if they just gave a side of salt to season the bone marrow ourselves, but this is a subjective opinion ~Foie Gras (3.9/5): this version was like their play on a PB&J. It was really good and not overwhelmingly nutty or sweet. Would give higher rating, but certain bites, the flavor of the foie gras got a little lost to me, but overall tasty ~Scallops (4/5): Came with 4 scallops which were cooked okay (maybe a hair over), but seasoned really well. The mushrooms and bokchoy were very flavorful, as well. Had a few overly salty bites since the scallops were aggressively seasoned and the miso sauce on the bottom of the plate also packed a punch of sodium, although very tasty. ~Halibut (4/5): again, the halibut may have been cooked a hair too long, but nothing terrible. I fell in love with those chickpeas though. Had a curry and subtle coconut flavor to it. ~Blueberry creme brulee (4.5/5): Sugar layer was perfect ratio to the custard. You could actually taste blueberry in the custard portion. And the lemon lavender meringue was beautifully balanced. Was not fan of the biscotti though Overall, all our dishes were great! Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

As you can see from my prior reviews this is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I was last here the Friday before Christmas in December 2023. I returned here with my family of five. I booked my 6 pm reservation on OpenTable. This time we were seated at a very nice large table in the main dining room, which I prefer. I love their main dining room rather than their upstairs dining room. I started with and enjoyed my Pain & Pleasure cocktail with tequila, curacao, hibiscus, lime and Jalapeno for $16. The ice ball was made with Jalapeno. I also enjoyed my Tuesday special duck breast with bourbon jus for $36. Amanda J. served us very well. My total bill was $279 excluding gratuity. I will return here for dinner or happy hour.

This was a quiet drive for us,my family questioned does it worth it or not. From the moment we stepped in I knew this will be great. Place has a spirit and amazing atmosphere,architecture of historic building with terrace views,ceiling glass windows and airy classic design was a hit. Service is close to perfect,server was extremely knowledgeable about menu. Honestly,we came for Joyce Farm chicken and chicken t was spectacular!!! Ideally marinated,not over,or undercooked,crispy skin,whole cut up chicken with spectacular yummy roasted baby carrots and best stuffing. Wow!!! I can write a long read about this chicken. Absolutely worth 58 dollars,we share it for 2 without appetizers and we're full.can be shared for 3 with some salads For desert we had carrot cake trifle ,it was fine,but nothing outstanding. Will definitely be back for another beautiful dinner and another entrees.

*Drink Review Only* A friend and I decided to get some afternoon drinks and lunge for a bit, so Trummer's was our pick. Having been here before, for both their amazing drinks and food, I was surprised I forgot to give this one a review. The Drinks: I went with the "Titanic" and the "Pain & Pleasure" for my drinks. The Titanic is the special cocktail which has a incredible flavors that hit just right. The alcohol was mixed very well as it wasn't over bearing at all. The Pain & Pleasure would have to be my favorite though. The nice and fruity flavor with a slight kick to keep your pallet in check is just perfect. The Service: Service was great! The staff here are all so friendly and welcoming. Water refills were on point and frequent check ups were done as well. The Atmosphere: Two floors, a lively bar downstairs and a very nice and elegant upstairs dining area. The vibes are relaxed and would 100% make a good date spot. Dim lights with an open/spacious elegant dining area calls for a nice intimate night out. Overall, a 5/5! Everything about Trummer's is amazing. From the ambience to the food/drinks, you can't go wrong with this place. Highly recommend visiting Trummer's if you get the chance.

I enjoyed having lunch here with a group of friends. The setting of the village of Clifton seems like an oasis in the middle of a bustling Washington DC Metro. The building is historical with a nice winding country road approach off the main road. There's a nice welcoming bar area. The restaurant is on the top floor. Very spacious and lots of space around tables. My impression was that I had arrived at a place where the best traditions of hospitality still live. The lunch menu changes seasonally. We ordered the crab dip, which was smooth and very flavorful. The truffle fries are extremely tasty. The corn bread literally melts in your mouth. I tried the crispy shrimp po boy. It was classical. Two large pieces of shrimp flattened and fried with a tinge of spiciness that slightly tingles but doesn't overpower. A member of our group ordered the Wiener Snitzel and loved it. I'll note it for the next time as I love this dish. The menu serves well for people needing a lunch salad as well. Service was impeccable. I judge service by the way your water glass is filled without your asking for more. Service cutlery was replaced before the main course. I was expecting the menu to be very expensive and was surprised to see the prices similar to restaurants in the area. $$. There was a good selection of wines and beer. I highly recommend this restaurant for meeting friends and family. For me th drive from Potomac MD to Clinton was worth it.

I love when you walk up and into this restaurant the aesthetic is elegant and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Staff was knowledgeable on wine and what I loved is although she didn't know the answer she went to go get the best and correct answer for us so we could pick the wine that would make us happiest. I love good size portions and for what it cost it was extremely fair. Potato salad with the schnitzel was fair. None of the side dishes to pay extra for excited me that much but it was a very cute place for date night.

First time at Trummers but it won't be my last. Met a friend for our mutual birthday dinner. We went on the earlier side at 6pm. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holiday! We were seated upstairs by the windows in a great spot with lovely views of the outside decorations as well. We ordered the cornbread and the baked Brie. Both were delicious. I'm not a fan of anything on my Brie but this was so good. For dinner I had the butcher chop salad. Very good and very filling! Easily 2 meals! Couldn't finish. My friend had the Wienerschnitzel and it was also quite good. For desert we split the scotcharoo tort and it was one of the best desserts I've had. Our server also finished off our meal with two mini cupcakes. Service was excellent, I believe our servers name was Brian. He was funny, helpful and called us young ladies which made us love him more!
