Food scene
This is one of our very favorite restaurants in the area. It’s about a 55 minute drive through beautiful country.
The food is all locally sourced and the meat comes from Ayrshire farms in Upperville.
I love the pub menu and the specialty drinks!
In the winter, call ahead and book one of the tables by the fire.
In good weather you can eat outside and bring your dog.

This is the best restaurant experience you can have save a full-scale blow out at the Inn at Little Washington. This is the little sister - more accessible and extremely easy on the wallet. Chef O’Connell hits it out of the ballpark again with this lovely gem of a restaurant.
