A culinary revelation. Every dish was a flawless combination of freshness and finesse, delighting the palate from start to finish. The drink pairings were equally impeccable, elevating the dining experience to unforgettable heights. It has swiftly become one of our top 3 favorites, and we will definitely return. A must-visit for those who appreciate gourmet perfection.

The restaurant has an amazing setting on top of a hill overlooking the Potomac River and woods. I really wanted to like this restaurant because of the unique prix fixe menu, and the use of fresh produce from their farm or nearby farms. However, the price for dinner was very high, and the different dishes were uneven in taste and quality. The portions are truly tiny, and it helped that my date did not like some of the dishes - allowing me to enjoy double portions. While the service was excellent, I did not feel we got exceptional food for the high ticket price of the dinner. Finally, because it is so far from our home in the Washington area- I will probably not want to eat there again.

I’ve been a few times over the past decade and it’s a very special treat for me to go. The menu used to be much more exciting and adventurous. This current menu was delicious and well balanced. Nothing really blew me away. Our server Ty was lovely. View of the river is gorgeous. Music was cute. Service was a bit slow and uncoordinated. For example, the mocktail pairing and appropriate food course never seemed to come out at the right time. Just under $500 for a dinner for 2 without alcohol. Objectively great experience. I think my expectations were were unrealistic because the last time I was there was perfect.

The chef’s tasting menu surprises and delights. For the first course they served little crunchy biscuits with a center of warm cheddar and goat cheese. I’m not a fan of goat cheese, but the spices, the cheddar and the biscuit all combined to make it delicious. With this they served a small chilled drink made of herbs and green beans. It was like drinking a spring meadow, the aroma filled my head. The next five courses had different but equally delicious surprises, from savory pork to deep dark chocolates and ripe peach dessert.

This restaurant has the best views of any place I've been in VA and MD and most other places. The service and food is fantastic. If this restaurant was in an "enclosed" structure it would likely have a Michelin star, it's that good, and with great prices.

Fantastic food! And fabulous experience overall. One of the best restaurants in NOVA. Gave a 4 star since service was good, not superb with our waiter, and still was very pricey overall. I think a little too pricey for what you received. But still thoroughly enjoyed our food and the time overall.

Gorgeous view. Very friendly wait staff. Food was excellent, very creative and perfectly cooked. Decent wine list with a few local selections. The only downside was the size of the wine pours for our pairing. They were VERY small, several were less than 2 ounces (for non-dessert wines). I get the sense that the waiter was new, so I didn't make an issue of it. But the wines weren't expensive, like $20 retail or less, so they should certainly be providing proper pours for $50/person. Small things that matter to me: their bathroom hand soap was almost fragrance free, which is helpful to avoid competing with the aromas of the food and wine. Way too many nice restaurants try to put high-end hand soaps in their bathrooms and it works against them. Unfortunately, several guests didn't come close to "smart casual," some were even wearing gym clothes. I know it's difficult to enforce a dress code but perhaps a message can be included when booking online. Overall great experience and we will make this our special occasion spot.

We go here every year for our anniversary and it never fails to meet our expectations. The food is always amazing, with a warm, welcoming, attentive and unpretentious staff. The owner, Beverly, has been there each time we visit, and her gentle hand and demeanor permeates throughout the operation. Whenever I have friends or coworkers looking for some place special, I always recommend they look into the Restaurant at Patowmack Farm. I already can’t wait to return in the future.

An exceptional restaurant with cuisine and presentation exceeding the top restaurants in the Washington area. Our first visit to the restaurant, so we didn't know what to expect. Sophisticated cuisine in a rustic setting. 7 courses, which included items mentioned (and photographed) by other reviewers, so I won't try to describe them. Each dish provided a clever blending of flavors that made every bite extraordinary, and the presentation in every case was surprising and artistic. The egg was my favorite--outstanding taste, creativity, and presentation; the major proteins for our meal were red snapper with squash and duck with cherries (brilliantly prepared dishes). The menu changes every month (although major items, including the egg, are constants). Exec. Chef Vincent Badiee is the creative genius, backed up by a talented and hard-working staff. The next time Michelin hands out stars, Patowmack Farm should get one.

This is a very special restaurant. The food is extraordinary, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine and the whole experience is something that makes you feel very special. It is not inexpensive, so it for sure is a special occasion restaurant but one that is not to be missed. You, like us, will find another special occasion after you go there the first time!

Wonderful “true” farm to table restaurant. Chef’s dishes were creative, original and delicious. Perfection from start to finish. Every course was carefully crafted and I wanted more of every bite. Between the four of us there were very different levels of “food lovers" and all of us really enjoyed the meal and found the food very approachable. Portions were a great size - we didn’t leave overstuffed or needing more. the wine list had plenty to choose from. Our service was impeccable.
