Trummer's has been one of our favorite restaurants for years but is seems to have gone downhill recently. The food was decent but was just not as good as usual. The floors were not very clean and the service was spotty.

Having been to trummers many times over the years, this recent dining experience falls drastically beneath past expectations - the portions were small, the prime rib was served ice cold and lacked flavor. I’ll think twice before coming again. Little was done to remediate the circumstances after providing the feedback

Poor experience at Father’s Day brunch. Food was bland, not hot, overcooked and just not very good. We did like the beautiful building and quiet atmosphere and our waiter was very attentive.

A Disappointing Evening Our recent visit was unfortunately marred by a series of significant service and culinary shortcomings. Upon arrival, the hostess repeatedly assured us our table would be ready in "two minutes," yet we were left waiting for twenty minutes. This lack of transparency was an inauspicious start to the evening. Once seated, our order was mistakenly delivered to another table, who had begun consuming it before the error was rectified. While an honest mistake, it added to the growing frustration. The quality of the main courses was equally disappointing. The pork roast was served with noticeably undercooked broccolini and a meager portion of mashed potatoes, less than a tablespoon. The prime rib was exceptionally tough, rendering it largely inedible. Although the establishment offered complimentary dessert as an attempt to compensate for the issues, our primary desire at that point was simply to depart. Regrettably, the cumulative negative experiences overshadowed any efforts to recover the dining experience.
