    This was my third time at Trummer's. Each time has been a great overall experience. My husband, my son-in-law's mother, and I were all pleased with our meals. I love that the Austrian owner has weinerschnitzel and spaetzle on the menu as I love Austrian and German food and it can be difficult to find in this area. My son-in-law's mother and I really enjoyed the Titanic cocktail. My husband had the Austrian wine sampler, one of the wines he liked so much we actually purchased a bottle. Justin, our server, was phenomenal. He was so professional and yet fun. Between the 3 of us, we had a lot of questions about the food, particularly about the Kyoto carrots. When he couldn't answer my question about the spaetzle, he gladly asked the chef and relayed the information. Finally there is so much natural light that comes in through the full length windows in the dining room, one almost felt like one was eating al fresco. We can't wait to return.

    The restaurant, bar and lounge areas spread out across multiple rooms / terraces / levels so it is a really intimate and fun layout. Excellent service and value. Price for classic drinks skewed a tad high in my opinion. I'll try and catch a happy hour sometime and the jazz performances.
