The Inn at Little Washington

Well. Add two to the reservation and I’ll join you. It’s only an hour from where I live. We used to drive by it going out to visit my wife’s parents in Luray. It has a fantastic reputation.

Well, we were both in Italy in September.

We’re going to be there a few days. Thanks for the vineyard rec we will definitely add it to our list.

Headed there in 2 weeks. One night at the Inn, one night at Barboursville. Very excite

I've stayed there 3 times and it's my most favorite place. It's been a good while since I was there and it's expanded. The meals were OUTSTANDING. Every little detail is amazing.

I had my most favorite appetizer there which is the spinach and crabmeat timbale with buerre blanc. Now, we make it frequently. It was in Bon Appetite some years ago, and now, the chef has several cookbooks out. It's a wow app.

When we were there, they also served breakfast. I'm not sure they do that any longer, but they literally caught rainbow trout in some sort of pond they had and sauteed it for breakfast with thin sliced red potatoes on top like fish scales. Melt in your mouth delicious.

We'd read all about it before the first time we stayed there. The chef meets with the staff in the afternoon before every service to go over making the guests happy. He has a "whatever it takes" attitude. They rank your mood when you arrive and the goal is to make you a 10 by the time you leave.

After we ate, they took us into the kitchen for a tour. There was a chalkboard with the names of the guests on it and their arrival rating and departure rating. We were a 9 upon arrival, so we didn't have far to go to be a 10. We were so glad to be there.

I hope to get back one day. It's #1 on list of great trips and meals. Please report back and take some pictures.

Red Fox Inn in Middleburg is good. Nice little town to walk around.

Field and Main Restaurant in Marshall was outstanding. Grandale Vintner's Table at 868 Vineyards is also outstanding.
