The overall experience is exactly what you would expect from one of the two Michelin 2-star restaurants in the DC/NOVA area, and that is to say that you will not leave unhappy in any circumstances. The Inn goes above and beyond with the traditional French / American fusion cuisine; my date and I both ordered separate tasting menus and the accompanying wine pairings and all of the food and wine's brought out were delicious. As stated on their menus and website, they source the majority of their food locally with some of it bring grown in their private gardens. The service was top notch with the waitstaff, sommeliers, and other members of the dining facility operating like a well rehearsed orchestra. My only critique of the evening was the menu offering only mainstay fair of fine French cuisine. Likely my personal bias, but I had hoped that the meal would leave my party overwhelmed with each bite of the courses served through the use of new techniques and ingredients. Instead, the courses presented themselves as comfortable and well rehearsed staples of the Old World and fine dining of our parent's era. While absolutely deserving of Michelin recognition, I felt as the Inn's reputation and overall aesthetic elevated it to the 2-star position vice the food alone. My sole critique withstanding, I loved the meal and my stay at The Inn and will return. Additionally, I will absolutely recommend it to anyone for the setting of choice to celebrate life's most special moments. Expect to pay for the privilege, but a meal at The Inn at Little Washington will be a memory to keep and hold for a lifetime.
