Filomena does not disappoint! Always perfectly cooked pasta, chicken and seafood. The place is already decorated for Christmas which makes it quite an experience with a polar bear dressed in his best and Santa not to mention all the streamers and stuff hanging from the ceiling. No place like it. Only downside is they fill the place up and it gets tight and warm down in that basement. A must for any trip to DC and Georgetown!

The food is great. Probably the best in the Reston Town Center. It’s a little noisy but no more than most. Their Old Fashion is really good.

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!

We had made our reservations and when we arrived the hostess just sent us to the back. We had requested one of the tables by the front window ( it was open) when we were finally seated it was in the middle of everything. The food and wait staff were outstanding. Had the Tuna, steak, cheese and honey,octopus and calamari. Everything was delicious.
