- PPatriciaWashington, D.C. Area •17 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe really enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Trummers. The craft cocktails were delicious. We both chose the Tuesday night special which was duck on the rotisserie. It was flavorful and moist; and was a generous portion. It was served with roasted potatoes. I would recommend adding a few seasonal vegetables to the dish to round it out. The wine prices are a tad high, but we chose an affordable one that paired well with the duck. We were full, so we skipped dessert. We can't wait to go back.More infoTrummer's Restaurant$$$$• Contemporary American• Clifton•4.6
