Item Description

Enjoy a gift certificate in the amount of $750 (enough for dinner and drinks for two!) and a copy of Patrick O'Connell's book, "Magnificent Obsession." Set 90 minutes from DC in a town whose very existence seems tied to the restaurant, The Inn at Little Washington is a destination in every sense of the word. Embellished to the last inch, the dining room resembles a jewelry box lined with patterned carpets, lush wallpaper, heavy drapes and bejeweled upholstery. Servers are knowledgeable and warm; the room is conducive to conversations. The restaurant may be over 40 years old, but Chef Patrick OConnells cuisine shines as brightly as ever. Each menu has a unique focus: Here and Now" spotlights seasonality; Gastronaut reflects the chef's ambitions; and The Good Earth offers superb vegetarian items. Guests can also meander through all three for a full sense of what this kitchen can do. Their extraordinary focus on detail and sourcing is clear from the start in the BLT-inspired amuse-bouche with heirloom tomato gele, or the excellent rye bread smeared with honeycomb butter. Sauces work a particular magic, as seen in the truffle-infused tartar with morel crabcake. Desserts like coconut sorbet with ginger granit are perfection.https://theinnatlittlewashington.com/
