Enjoyed an abundance of flavorful courses carried with ceremony to our table, a full experience elevating our meal. Each course delighted the senses with layers of scent and flavor. The wine pairings worked well with each course. The servers are well versed in the ingredients...and back story. Inventive combinations landed well over all - worth the price for thoughtful food and presentation well above the average restaurant. We chose to take home our last course - home made sweets - as we were too full to enjoy them at that time. A few minor quibbles - there should have been an equal number of vegetarian offerings - for two courses, I simply got less food than my companion rather than the being offered a full range. It would not be that hard to come up with some tidbits to ensure that everyone gets to taste multiple small bites. It would have been nice if the server had let us know coffee was available prior to the dessert course; being our first visit, it didn't occur to us to order since everything else was scripted. By the time we asked if it was available, we were the last table and didn't want to linger. Overall, an interesting and delicious meal that stretched our ideas of what a dining experience can be.More

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Patowmack Farm. The locavore menu focuses on American Indian ingredients, including heirloom grains/beans. Not every dish was a hit, but all were interesting and flavorful. The wine pairings were thoughtful. Service was excellent throughout. We really enjoyed the...descriptions of the courses and their ingredients, and the written cards provided with more information. Taking home a personalized menu was a nice touch as well. The restaurant was quite loud when we arrived, making it difficult to hear each other, but quieted down as a couple of tables left.More

Last night my husband and I finally got to eat at Patowmack Farm. Beverly, the owner, was the first to greet us upon arrival and it was a joy to talk to her about how her farm evolved into this amazing restaurant. The view from...each table was gorgeous. We did the progressive menu with wine pairing. Each course was a treat for your eyes, nose, and especially taste buds! Eli, the sommelier, described each wine wonderfully and he paired them all perfectly. It was a treat to talk to him about his journey into discovering natural wines. The entire staff was warm and very knowledgeable. The food was sublime. Each course different and none reliant on another - each stood on its own merits. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation, it’s more than worth it!More

This was our first time at Patowmack Farm Restaurant. We went for our anniversary, and couldn't have been more pleased. We have had hundreds of lovely dining experiences in all our years, but we agreed that this one topped them all. First, the location is...scenic and serene. We had a view over a valley with a bridge spanning the Potomac River in the distance. A lovely breeze kept the summer heat at bay. (They also have indoor dining, but who would want that unless it was snowing. And maybe not then??) We arrived at 6 and left close to 9. You have the table for the evening, and there is ample time to relax, enjoy the view, savor the food, walk to the gazebo, etc. We were greeted with a parchment that welcomed us by name and wished us happy anniversary, followed by the progressive menu of nine (9) courses. We chose to have our dinner paired with wine throughout. A good choice, as the sommelier came to the table to explain each wine. I appreciated the explanation at the time of ordering that the wine pairing would be about the total of 2-1/2 glasses of wine. Responsible! Each dish was as exquisite as the previous one. The plating was creative and the dishes were unique. All the food is from the Patowmack Farm, or from farms nearby. The use of seasonal fruits and vegetables was a culinary delight. That sounds cliche, but it all was amazing! We actually took pictures of the dishes. It was art. We will definitely be returning.More

My wife and I dined here this past Saturday, and it did not disappoint. If you're not familiar with the restaurant, it's a true farm to table experience, with all of the produce being picked directly from the owner's farm. As far as I'm aware,...they do not have livestock on the farm, but all of their seafood/meat/poulty is locally sourced. The ambiance is interesting...you're seated in what's basically a greenhouse, which is definitely a departure from what one might expect for a fine dining restaurant. That said, the view from the dining room is beautiful, with visibility of the Point of Rocks Bridge over the Potomac. There were heavy thunderstorms the evening we were there, which definitely made the experience unique. Overall the food and service was very good. As one can imagine, there is a focus on the produce that comes with the farm, but the preparations and presentations are very forward-thinking. There were two protein courses: rockfish and pork shoulder, both of which were excellent. The pork was fork tender and melted in my mouth. It was a great dining experience, and we'll definitely plan to return in the future!More

We visited The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm this past weekend. What fun!!! We've read and heard a lot about it and were looking forward to our first time. We were not disappointed. The green house style restaurant sits at the front of the farm on...a hill overlooking a beautiful valley and the Potomac River in the distance. After we were graciously welcomed and seated, our adventure began. Each course was explained as it was served. Everything was delicious, right down to the last piece of candy and sip of coffee. They offer a wine pairing with each course. We chose to enjoy a single bottle recommended by our server. Oh.. our server, Caitlin! She was amazing too. Can't wait to go back!!!!More

Less than an hour by car from DC is this lovely farm to table restaurant. Glass enclosed restaurant with attached tented patio on a hill overlooking a valley and distant river. Food is fresh and creative. Wine pairings—all domestic—-were well matched to the food. Full...bar. Open only on weekends. Well worth the trip.More
