This is one of the best total meal experiences I have had in a long time. It's a bit of a trip from the DC metro area, but it was well worth it. The location is amazing. You feel like - and pretty much are...- away in the country, with beautiful views from the outdoor dining area. The food is spectacular. Every one of the nine courses was delicious, with flavor profiles ranging from simply perfect to magically complex. Our wine parings were creatively and expertly matched. The staff, including the chef himself, were fun, friendly and engaging. If the Michelin reviewers ever get there (and they should), this place is guaranteed a star, probably two. The food itself may not quite yet be on par with Inn @ Little Washington, but I had a much better time at The Restaurant at Patowmac Farm. I just got home from there, and can't wait to return.More
