"Considered a dream dinner, this renowned inn and restaurant is held up as the aspirational choice in the area, the place people think of when they imagine an ideal, bucket-list meal." - Lulu Chang
"The Inn at Little Washington kicks off its America 250 celebrations on New Year’s Eve with “We The People…” – a star-studded evening inspired by George Washington’s historic 18th-century birthday balls. Step into an immersive colonial experience with candlelit splendor, period details, and a festive tasting menu. The night culminates with a playful appearance by ‘Little’ George himself to toast the semi-quincentennial. Reservations are available for 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. seatings." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Inn at Little Washington transforms into a storybook holiday escape, complete with more than a dozen themed Christmas trees and lavish decor curated by chef Patrick O’Connell. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day feature special multi-course menus at both the Inn and Patty O’s, highlighting locally sourced ingredients and festive touches. Patty O’s also keeps the celebrations going with its Bluegrass Boxing Day Brunch the following day." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Once the region’s only Michelin three-starred restaurant, it was downgraded to two stars in the 2025 guide." - Emily Venezky
"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. The menu offers an array of signature preparations, such as the vegetable-forward ratatouille from the garden with roasted garlic custard, the contemporary-minded, tomato-cured hamachi in watermelon gazpacho, and the enduring classic of lobster mousse wrapped in Savoy cabbage dressed with caviar beurre blanc. And all throughout, roaming bread and cheese carts are a reminder of a luxury that’s less and less common." - The MICHELIN Guide
