The iconic Chef Patrick O’Connell has long been the steward of this idyllic restaurant outside Washington, D.C. In a town whose very existence seems tied to his success, dinner here recalls another era. The dining room is a celebration of maximalist décor and stately grandeur. Three menus are available, with one devoted to "enduring classics" like carpaccio of herb-crusted Elysian Fields lamb with Caesar salad ice cream; another featuring the best of seasonal produce (butter-poached Maine lobster with a chicken and shrimp tortelli in lemongrass consommé) and third featuring fully vegetarian dishes. All throughout, roaming bread and cheese carts are a reminder of a luxury that’s less and less common.

"For over 40 years, Chef O'Connell has pioneered a regional American cuisine using indigenous products sourced from local farmers, ranchers, and the Inn's own Garden. We employ two full time farmers on the property and five gardeners. We utilize our own greenhouses for herbs and lettuces; and a beekeeper takes care of hives which supply our own honey."
