    Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich (yum!)
    Staci S.

    My friends have been talking up this place, and I recently got a chance to try it. My friend and I came for a late weekend lunch. There was plenty of parking and a decent amount of seating. Inside was cute, clean, and bright. It was the perfect place to just chill and catch up We ended up ordering the Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Cordon Bleu Sandwich, Trummer's Signature Bratwurst Chicken, and Beignet to share. We didn't wait too long for food and the service was great - friendly and attentive. Everything tasted great, although I would definitely reorder the Cordon Bleu Sandwich next time. I love the pairing of the lingonberry (tart with some sweetness) with the savory ingredient. The Brussels sprouts were yummy, but I was looking for a little more crunch. I would definitely be interested in coming back to try more of their menu items!

    My first time at this restaurant. Ambience was just ok, kind of cold inside. The menu was really small, and overpriced in my opinion for what you get, not really impressed. Service was a 2 out 5, our waitress would disappear sporadically. Overall wouldn't come back fir Brunch, who knows maybe dinner is a better but I wouldn't come back unless my dinner partners wanted to.

    Soft shell crab was nicely crispy on a bed of cucumbers and peppers.

    We went to Trummer's for my adult son's birthday. We sat on the top level next to a front window. The ambience was what I would call noisy living room. We were at a rectangular table and surrounded by hard surfaces. Conversations were very directional and a challenge for my old ears. Maybe some sound deadening tiles or thick wall hangings. We had some appetizers that came out promptly after they were made. The entrees came out 30 mins later. I had the soft shell crab. It was nicely crunchy with a flavorful breading over a bed of cucumbers and peppers. Lots of flavor. Serving size was enough to feel satisfied and not stuffed.

    The service was very slow overall. We waited a very long time in between each course we were served. And the food was served lukewarm at best. The winter restaurant week deal was great and worth the price but I am not sure if we would pay full price for the food we received. The saving grace of the meal were the cocktails (pain and pleasure) and dark chocolate whisky pie. The server was also super nice and friendly and I do not fully blame him for the slow pace. The bar and lounge downstairs is a great vibe and because the cocktails are excellent, we will revisit for this experience. However, not sure about dining upstairs again.

    located in Clifton, there's parking right on the side of the building. The structure is so cute as it's a home turned into restaurant. Came on a weekday and was able to make a reservation ahead of time. The menu is rotating! I got the spicy crab dip & Ciopinno. For the crab dip, it was surprisingly spicier than I was expecting but overall very good, paired with toasted bread. For my entree, it was excellent with flavors, quantity of seafood, and the portion. The dish came with an abundant amount of shrimp and halibut however less mussel ( which personally I was okay with). I actually had to take some home because of the size of the portion! Service was great. This place is what I would consider as fine dining and not your regular "Texas Roahouse" service and the price does reflect as such.

    The service here was very lovely. I loved dining in the big hall with the many windows and high ceilings. I got the eggs in purgatory and the espresso martini for brunch and it was a lovely time overall. LOVED taking some tasty stollen home too.

    What a perfect Sunday brunch this past weekend! We had been meaning to visit the original location, and this was such a beautiful day for it. The seating on the 2nd floor was so bright and beautiful. Loved the setting. And appreciated wait staff inviting us to view the full venue. Great ideas for private events. Our server, Amanda J., was so welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. She really made the visit extra special. We had shrimp and grits (never had with pea flower!), Trummers breakfast, shrimp cocktail (highly recommend!), truffle fries, and wonderful cocktails: pineapple mimosa and espresso martini. The bacon was over cooked, a bit burnt, but Amanda made sure a fresh batch replaced the bacon. Loved our meal, but also our eyes couldn't help notice all the delicious dishes passing by (wow, those waffles). Hence, the shrimp cocktail we added on. We'll be back!

    We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary. We arrived for an early dinner and sat on the second level. It was a Tuesday and it was not crowded as we've always heard this place is. We got a complimentary dessert.

    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!

    *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.

    Went on another date night with wife while our son was at a swim team dinner. We chose this American Bistro restaurant to try as it was close by in downtown Clifton. The restaurant has a feel of an old establishment but relatively new. My wife started with the Austrian Wine Flight. We ordered the Gem Lettuce and Charred Octopus Bruschetta for our appetizers. The pomegranate vinaigrette, smoked blue cheese and lardons(bacon) combo made it really refreshing. The pistachio avocado purée was really delicious paired with the really tender octopus. For main course, we got the Porchetta with Chimichurri and the Braised Lamb Shank. The Porchetta was a bit too fatty for my wife but the potatoes were delicious. The lamb shank was very tender. I am not a bean person so did not really enjoyed the cassoulet. We decided to get the White Chocolate Orange Tart. It was one of the best dessert I have tried. We loved the orange meringue, which slightly toasted giving it a smoky flavor along with the sweetness. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and the service was excellent.

The wraps come with a side, so I went with the homemade coleslaw. My friend got the buffalo chicken wrap (made with chicken tenders) and that was also very good. Overall, great food and service.

    Omg so many thoughts on this experience…read more I'm so glad i didn't immediately know it was a restaurant located in a hotel. This prob would have deterred me, even a little bit. The Apple map directions here confused me a little due to this, but parking was really plentiful so that's a huge plus!

Busy weekend for a brunch but haymarket is SUCH a cute little vibe and town with so many hidden gems, like this one!! Literally every single item I saw waiters bring out from the kitchen looked so scrumptious, every person around us immediately began digging in and enjoying their meals...and honestly, no crumbs were left behind pretty much every time. We started ordering a yummy cocktail. I was really in the mood for the Paloma with grapefruit juice but sadly they were out of grapefruit juice fortunately, they had plenty cocktails available that were not explicitly on the menu! I ended up having a delicious espresso martini, prepared, right and honestly, I would have had another!! Not too sweet. Not creamy. And with 3 beans. Impeccable no notes. I ordered the red House breakfast. Man those home potatoes were so delicious....they clearly cooked them seasoned deliciously and then flash fried, so crunchy!!!! Amazing. I found that their execution on their meals was really impressive. My sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly and paired so yummy with the toast. The bacon had delicious flavor too. I ordered a biscuit because I had heard that their biscuits were really yummy but unfortunately they did not have their bacon biscuit so it was just a classic biscuit. It was good, certainly dense and clearly homemade. My girlfriend got the poutine. Looked so delicious and was really enjoyed! The gravy was thick and flavorful! We sat down and enjoyed plenty of conversation and a really nice environment. Nobody rushed us, service was just the right amount of attentive without interrupting conversation constantly, and the floor to ceiling windows let in beautiful natural light and views of the town.
