Very disappointing experience for what is rated one of the top restaurants in VA. Admittedly it was Valentines weekend but even with a limited menu, the food was average at most. Shrimp & Grits was the best dish. The pork was overcooked and dry - I’m not even sure it was cooked that night or if it was reheated. The cheesecake dessert looked like it had been sitting out for days and tasted the same - dry and flavorless. Based on this first experience, not sure I’m even willing to give it a second chance.

Beautiful environment in the dining room but as far as the food, not as impressive. We live nearby and hoped it would be better than our previous experience there but we do much tastier salmon at home. The cheesecake dessert looked good but again, we can make a much better one at home. Venison steak was tasty, probably the best dish we had. Overall, disappointing especially for Valentine’s Day dinner out.

I disovered Trummers quite by accident when I looking for Truffle Fries for my son. We found Trummers, and the fries and their chicken were outstanding. That's when I knew I had to bring my wife here for Valentine's Day. And Trummers did not disappoint! That meal was the best we've had since moving to Virginia. If you are having trouble finding great food, service, and atmosphere, I can't rave about Trummers enough.

Trummer's always has the most unique menus in this area. The chef always seems to find the perfect blend of flavors to make truly wonderful items, whether it's an appetizer, entree or dessert. They also have a great choice of wines and the bar downstairs is also very nice. It's a great place to take that special person for a beautiful evening. Yes, it's expensive, but well worth it.

Huge shoutout to Mike - he’s the best and an added reason to return to Trummer’s. While all options are fantastic, Mike always helps us find the best with his great insight into the nuances of all the flavors - from the food to the wine - he always provides recommendations that beat expectations!
