Trummer's Restaurant Clifton Reviews from The Last Year
My Bestie took me here for my birthday and it was
My Bestie took me here for my birthday and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was relaxing, service outstanding and the food delicious. My friend stepped away and someone came over and covered the food so it could stay warm, impressive! The duck fat potatoes were good also. Good vibes and a good way to start off the weekend. Thank you!!!!
Unreal .
Made a reservation to take my wife and my two daughters here for Mother's Day. We have been here before and thought it to be ok ...this visit was particularly dicey. Service was good. But the options for the menu were awful. It was a prefix menu, that was average it best. I got foie gras as an appetizer and the whole Bronzino for the main course. It was average at best. $86 per person. We had our two daughters with us under 12 years old. The kids menu was $37 a child under 12 years old!!! . That gets them three chicken tenders and french fries for $37. This is with the understanding that we could've left once we received the prices. Although on Mother's Day when things are pretty booked, that's tough. So I had to eat the cost and the average food and call it a day. The prefix menu was $86 a person. The "desert" that came with the kids meal was a scoop of out of the box ice cream with some whipped cream sprayed on top and sprinkles. It was a pretty ridiculous meal for close to $400. Think twice make sure you call and ask what the menu is. Also bathrooms were not working and were told to go outside the establishment if needed . That wasn't even the biggest issue .

We enjoyed a special dinner on Thursday to celebrate our daughter's graduation from college. The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. Truly appreciated the tray offering congratulations and blondies at the end, too. We've celebrated a number of special occasions at Trummer's and it never disappoints.
Spectacular drinks and world class food menu.
Professional and friendly (actually fun) service made for a dinner evening we will never forget.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Trummer's.
We were greeted with exceptionally friendly service as Mirren escorted us up the elevator to our second floor table by the window with a view of old town Clifton. Hannah dropped by to make sure we were comfortably situated in the elegant space as Justin approached with bottled wine, specialty single serve wine, and food menus. He was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. My scallops were perfectly cooked and the bite I had of my wife's salmon was delicious. After cleaning our plates, we indulged in Justin's recommendation of banana fosters beignets. It was complimented by an exquisite espresso. We thoroughly enjoyed dining at Trummer's and will return.
Lovely family dinner !
We had booked our table for a larger party and this was the right way to do. This restaurant is so well rated that it's always full. Do not expect a lucky walk in... Our dinner was excellent, service was great. Nothing to complain about. I can fairly recommend TRUMMER's.
Great food, we always enjoy! Fun craft cocktails.
A decent selection of beer and wine. Always friendly staff.
Used to love this restaurant.
It still has great ambiance but the food was mediocre at best. 3 people in our party ordered the mushroom risotto and it was almost inedible. Extremely salty and unappealing to look at. No one finished their food. The prime rib was over cooked. It's a shame because they used to have amazing food. Sadly we won't be going back. Too expensive for hit or miss food.
Good food with great ambiance.
The restaurant is an old hotel in the town of Clifton.
Nice family dinner in main dinning room
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
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.

Food was delicious, service was great and the ambiance was nice, bright and inviting. We went for a birthday dinner and received recommendations for wine pairing with the duck, delicious. Will come back again.
I tried this place with some out of town family the other
I tried this place with some out of town family the other night, as we had read the reviews and liked brunch there pre-pandemic. There was great ambiance and service, but, in our opinion, the food was meh to bad (and quite expensive). A bad combination. The cornbread with pear butter was great, and that was about all I have good to say about the food. I tried almost everything else on the table and really didn't think anything was worth the cost. My youngest daughter had the kids pasta, which was supposed to be cavatelli, but seemed much more like a gnocchi, and wouldn't eat it because of the consistency. She also didn't like the kids dessert - ice cream - which she normally loves. I started with the mussel soup, which was very underseasoned (a theme, if would turn out), and generally flat - also, served at just a a smidge over room temperature - It was probably one of the worst soups I've had this year (including at occasional trips to Panera). For my main, I had the prime rib and duck-fat potatoes and was very disappointed with both. They again were both very underseasoned and lacking in flavor. The meat was also very difficult to cut even after I asked for a steak knife. Again, probably the worst prime rib I've ever had. My brother had the same, and he agreed. My youngest, this being her first experience with prime rib, thought it was ok (after I added salt). My wife had a salad and squash tart, and she thought both were fine, but nothing special. My older daughter probably liked her food the best - venison loin. I tried it, and it too was underseasoned, but better than the other dishes on the table. I brought my Mom along, and she had a three course meal. The potatoes and lardons and spaetzel side were good. The venison schnitzel was very gritty and didn't taste very good to me. The strawberry streusel dessert was also light on flavor and soggy. The family shared a coffee creme brulee, and that was probably the best dessert, but really that isn't saying much. We had really enjoyed the brunch at Trummer's a lot pre-pandemic, so may someday return for that, but maybe not given this experience.
Maybe this food is great for somebody but I really feel
Maybe this food is great for somebody but I really feel like they're just trying too hard with these recipes they're all really different ingredients mixed together and in the end it just doesn't taste good.
*Drink Review Only* A friend and I decided to get some
*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.
One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at.
my wife and I have been here over 100 times in the last dozen years or so. Outstanding cuisine, Creative bar, great staff, fabulous service, and a comfortable environment. I'd recommend something particularly but the reality is almost everything I've had been excellent. And, everyone has their own taste so I won't get specific. But, regardless of your culinary interests, I highly recommend that you visit here for either lunch or dinner it will be worth your time
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.
A Treat in Clifton
I went with a friend to sample some seasonal (Christmas) cocktails, and enjoyed it so much I returned the following night with my husband for dinner! Although I'm not a cocktail person they are excellent here, as is their wine list. The food is all perfectly prepared and the service outstanding.
Nice family dinner as last time
Trummer’s on Main has been here for many years. Trummer’s is a playground of memorable cuisine showcasing the diverse agricultural community of Virginia. Farm to table is the key here. They offer superb service, Virginia’s largest and most comprehensive wine program and a stunning ambiance await at Trummer’s. Set amongst the charming horse farm setting of Clifton, Virginia, Trummer’s is one of the region’s most outstanding dining experiences. Victoria and Stefan Trummer became the first New York restauranteurs to open a dining destination in Clifton. Located on Main Street in a historic town born out of the Civil War, Trummer’s is the creation of the husband and wife team, combining “small town charm with fabulous food and attentive service generally found in big food cities.” Their main dining room is a bright & airy destination for American cuisine with a bar doling out craft cocktails & wine. The menu features seasonal dishes with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. The service is friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, Trummer's Restaurant is an upscale dining experience. I was last here in 2016 to enjoy both brunches and dinners. As you can see from my prior reviews, my family mostly enjoyed our meals here in the past. We were here most recently on Friday prior to Christmas 2023 with my family of five for a 4:45 pm dinner reservation, which I booked on Open Table. It was the only available dinner reservation other than 8:45 pm. When we entered the bar area was hopping for happy hour. We took the elevator up to the third floor. We were the first table to be seated upstairs on the third floor. I prefer eating downstairs in their main dining room. They did not offer their regular menu. It was a special limited holiday menu. See my pics of the menu. I started with their signature Titanic cocktail for $15. I ended my dinner with their “Down the Chai-mney”, with bourbon, chai, lemon and vanilla cream for $14. Both cocktails were unusual and interesting. We shared the cranberry focaccia with rosemary olive oil for $6. Their focaccia was not so interesting or tasty. I have had better focaccia at other restaurants. I enjoyed my beef wellington with an interesting creamed spinach and gaufrettes potatoes for $52. My total bill was $373 excluding gratuity. Colvin F. served our table very well. We agreed we will return here hopefully to dine in their downstairs main dining room as we have done in the past.
Terrific Trummers Time for Dine and Wine
We continue our visits here - On November 14, I treated my wife to another great dinner here for her birthday. As usual, Stefan (the owner) was more than happy to help us get seated (moved us to a more comfortable area). Logan was our waiter who was polite, courteous and very attentive for whatever we needed. My wife had the duck, while I had the halibut - both tasted delish! We missed out the Prime Rib, which I think is only served on Fridays. Stefan also provided us with a complimentary glass of champagne for my wife, along with a side dish, pumpkin crème brûlée (very tasty) and some pumpkin cupcakes. They really do make you feel like part of the family there. If you close by, stop in and grab a seat and enjoy some amazing food! See you next year Trummers 😁👍

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
