We went the other day to Trummers on Main St. in "historic Clifton, Virginia." What a fun place! Set in an old Colonial house, the interior is crisp, clean and with a large skylight wonderfully airy. And the food matches the decor. If we had to describe it the key word might be "playful."Paul had a light and airy cucumber gazpacho to start, while Katy enjoyed a light beef tartare. For main courses, Paul had a crispy rockfish with cheese risotto and Katy had a fresh cooked Cornish Hen. For a side they had some brocollini and some beets garnished with blue cheese. The wine, a Dusky Goose pinot noir from Oregon matched the food well -- fresh and fruity with a nice bouquet. Paul indulged in the dessert -- a "deconstructed apricot cobbler" with the various pieces of the cobbler pie served sort of separately. Again alot of fun.
Of course, the real pleasure was that we got to share the meal with family, Mike, Debbie and Aaron Kunzer joined us, as did Paul's niece Jordana. And since it was a Father's Day gift, that made it all the more special. We'll be going back sometime soon, for sure.
I think if I had the opportunity to order a deconstructed apricot cobbler, I would just order the topping -- hold the apricots.
