I went to Washington DC on a trip over last summer, and when you look for Michelin restaurants for the DC area, The Inn pops up in your search as the only restaurant that has Three Stars. So, of course, I had to make it happen. I had been to one, maybe three, Three Stars already, and you could just tell how they got their status. So know I have to collect them all. Great. So we planned a little side-trip over to the beautiful Shenandoah National Park, found a cute little Airbnb nearby, and had reservations that night for The Inn. We got in a little early, but that was ok, because they brought us to their beautiful little lounge where we got some wonderful, complimentary little snacks. How nice. Then, when our time came, we were escorted to our table, and wow. What a beautiful dining area. It's basically a house from the dawn of the country, and there's a patio area that's actually completely indoors. We got seated in the patio area and had nice, big, beautiful windows to look out of for our meal. Then, the fun began. I got a menu with a giant picture of the chef on the front with a personalized "Happy Birthday to Christopher" on it. Love that. Then the amuse bouche and the courses started. One after another. I can't remember everything, and the menu online has changed already, but I will lay out high and low points. There was a bread cart with a few different breads and an absolute mountain of butter. I took full advantage of this card. I love bread, and their little baguettes were so good. They did a fancy little deconstructed, gastronomic BLT that I wasn't expecting, but it was nice. It was like a shot you took, and you replied on the scent of the herbs to be the L of the BLT. I don't know. It was fun. I like new things. One of the courses is a tiny tin of caviar. I'm not sure if caviar is even good eats anymore. Seems like an ancient dish by now. But you can't say it's not fun and delicious. They only give you two toast points, so your options are to load up the toasts, or call the bread cart guy over. Some nice, fresh fish. Fun textures and beautiful presentation. A deconstructed ham dish with some grated cheese on top of a gel; this dish was a mess. Not a fan. A butter poached piece of lobster. Very small, and lobster is kind of in the same, outdated vein as caviar is. But, it was succulent and amazing. A nice slice of pork belly, now this was amazing. Again, small, but the flavor was incredible. And the puree it was on top of was perfect. Then came the desserts! One was a fun one that looked like they dropped the ice cream cone and it was splattered on the plate. It was a sweet corn ice cream with actual corn on the plate and a pepper to eat along with it. Love the flavor combos. But eat this quick, because it melts fast! The next dessert was a visit from the cheese cow. This was hands down the best, most memorable part of the evening. A very strange, lovable man comes over with a cow on wheels and gives you a tour of all his cheeses with many terrible, but also many great, puns. Then, you pick the cheeses, he gives you the prescribed accoutrements, like creamed honey, almonds, jams, etc, and get to work. They don't give you any carbs, though, so I called the bread cart man back over. No shame. I also got a dessert that looked like soap and some random tempered chocolate. I would get into them, but I am getting tired of typing. I will say, though, that I love it when these Michelin places send you home with things. And this thing was mega cute. A bunch of chocolates and candies inside of a little paper Inn! It was very good during the drive back to the Airbnb. Overall, it was definitely a fun, delicious dinner, absolutely. It was my least favorite of all the Three Stars I've been to, though. And just saying that aloud makes me feel like a pompous douche. But yet, it's true. I'm sure the complaints I have are exactly why some people come here. Old world food, small portions, being doted on hand and foot for two hours straight. Anyway, it was good. If you're coming to the area, and want to tick a Three Star off your list, you can't miss it.
