   They accommodated our son at the last minute and made sure his dining experience was just as special. Loved the special touch of take home breakfast - such a fun surprise!

   Such a beautiful location! We felt at home there celebrating our 21st anniversary. The farm to table dishes were a work of art. The staff took such pride in everything they served. Fantastic!!!

   Incredible meal in beautiful surroundings! We celebrated my wife’s birthday here and it was a delight. Each course was unique and delicious. There was so much food that I was literally stuffed when we left.

   Everything was on point. Great view, service was outstanding, food very creative and delicious, drinks were the most refreshing I’ve ever had.. 10/10 I will definitely recommend this to everyone I meet and return for my future special occasions. One thing, if you are sensitive to insects, don’t sit outside. The inside will be better and offers almost the same view. Cheers

   Still wonderful but for the Ology (Vietnamese)the portions were rather large and a little bland. I'll' stick to the regularlar menu I think. Waitress Ty (and the entire staff) simply outstanding.

    What a wonderful culinary experience! We were first greeted with a menu that had been personalized celebrating our special night and were seated at a romantic table for two outdoors with a breathtaking view. The food did not disappoint with each course being beautifully presented, fresh, light, and paired with a perfect wine. Three hours later a fantastic dessert ended our evening. Our waiter Alex was attentive without being obtrusive, funny, clearly explained each wine as he poured and checked in to ensure each dish was making us happy (absolutely!). A high end restaurant experience well worth the cost. Highly recommend!

    The progression menu was lovely, along with the presentation and service. However two points to be considered: 1. the "carbonara" in the farm egg had way too much pepper in it and we couldn't taste the ham. That was the least favorite menu item in our group; 2. too much of the same protein was served throughout the meal - fish. It would have been nice to complete the meal with a different protein such as lamb chops, poultry or beef.

    Took my mother here for her 93rd birthday. Seriously do not understand what the extremely positive reviews are about. The food was good. Did not realize that on Sundays, there is a set menu (ours was Vietnamese) and you have three choices for main course. The appetizers were amazing and each person got three. Very good but the chicken wing was impossible to eat. Main course, good but very very small portion. My mother choice the Banh Mi but due to age, cannot eat hard bread. We requested no bread and a little extra fish and they obliged. Desserts were excellent. I was very disappointed that I asked for a table by the window when I made the reservation, and called that day and reiterated it. We arrived and there was a table by the window that needed cleaning but they did not offer it. It would have been a lot quieter at the window. I did not bring it up again, because I felt that asking twice was enough. Atmosphere is odd.... like a greenhouse, nothing spectacular. The view is nice. Also, we live in Loudoun County but this restaurant is SO FAR away!!!! Not on my list for a return visit.

    Be careful here, because on Sunday, they have a special cuisine menu, not the regular menu, and it changes each month. You won’t see that on OpenTable info, so we were surprised, but we dug into the Vietnamese cuisine, not our preference. The other review of the cuisine on OpenTable that I saw recently is far too critical in my view. The spring roll was week, but the other appetizers were very nice. I didn’t like my entrée selection, but my guest liked the monkfish. The desserts were wonderful, the service was excellent. The setting is not spectacular, but very calm in the country. And rustic. I thought the price was a little high, especially given the ingredients.

    Spectacular! That sums it up in every way! The food was not only devine to the palate, but extraordinarily creative and beautifully presented. The setting was rustic elegance with a lovely view of the Virginia hills and the Potomac River. The service was excellent-attentive but not fussy, warm and welcoming.

    What a magical night! My brother and his girlfriend visited from Maine and we took them here for a special evening. The service was spectacular and the view is just breathtaking. We sat on the Gazibo wich is a treat we always wanted to have. We have sat on the patio before and that was stellar as well. As the meal progressed the light of the day began to fade and the patio lights came on. It is like eating in a fairy kingdom. The food was excellent though spicier than we expected and the standout dish was definitely carrots 4 ways, I am still thinking of it days later. Our server, who's name I can't recall, was bubbly and sweet and funny and knowledgeable. We simply loved her! We will be back again one day (it is a bit of a hike for us but worth every mile traveled)

    We used to eat here a lot for nice occasions and then we moved out of the area for 8 years. We came back and decided to celebrate our anniversary at Patowmack. We were told the chef had changed but he was “even better” than the last one. While the staff were all extremely nice, and the service was very good, the food was so very underwhelming and overpriced for what you were getting. It was a beautiful view however. And I feel bad writing this. However the food was just so bad….maybe it was an off night for the chef. We were told we were having Vietnamese food but it was all very basic. Spring roll which was just ok-supermarket quality. Chicken wing just ok. And then a couple of disappointing main courses and desserts. The coffee milkshake was great but milk toast was terrible. It just wasn’t worth the price.

    The restaurants identity between fine dining and casual is very apparent when walking in. The areas that need improvement; No valet, empty tables, the chairs wobble a tiny bit with uneven floors and your under a tent that’s lacking much beauty. The bathrooms are also subpar for $150/person. The pros; The view is beautiful and the food is fine dining material. The service is also great. Overall would be good value for $100/person not $150 material. The restaurant can really use a facelift. They def have potential to get to 5 stars they just need more attention to the finer details.

    From start to finish, it was a great first time experience. Despite being an open venue, the service and ambiance felt personal and intimate. Having Chef deliver our final course personally so that he stop by and say "hello" was a true sign of what the brand stands and represents. And - our server (Ty) was absolutely delightful! She made our day. We'll definitely go back again.

    The staff and service was exceptional; however, the meal was more about presentation and less about taste. I've ate here several years ago and the food was fabulous. Also, almost everything that came to the table was cold or room temperature. We were somewhat disappointed for the price. The personal touch for my birthday was very nice and we enjoyed the fond farewell box.

    The staff and chef were outstanding. We were surprised by an all Vietnamese theme that began the day of our reservation. While in theory changing the menu each week can be a way to get repeat business, this was a huge and quite unwelcome change. At an average of $140 per person all in, we were put off. Also the food, although high quality and mostly delicious, was very over salted. We didn’t anticipate having to let them know in advance that salt of that quantity would be unwelcome.

    My husband and I have dined here several times, both for special occasions and just as a treat to ourselves. It is our favorite place to bring out-of-town guests for an exceptional experience. Gorgeous, rustic atmosphere with beautiful views. Attention to detail. Flawless service. Unique, creative, delicious food. An overall high-end experience with no pretentiousness.

    Dined here for my girlfriend's birthday this week. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was... good (not great), and unfortunately did not feel worth the hefty cost ($95 per person, before drinks, tax, and tip). • Starters (chicken poutine & beet salad): poutine was cooked well, but was on the bland side - chicken was overcooked/tough..... partner said her beets were mediocre and the sauce was bland and flat • Mains (we both chose NY strip): a bit fatty and very rare, and the crumble on the broccolini was so salty that it was almost inedible • Dessert (we both chose blood orange tart): great texture, great flavor My partner was very much looking forward to a main listed on the website that was not available that evening, nor was the dessert we both wanted (which was listed on the menu, but we were told they'd run out). We'd been waiting several weeks for a table, and were pretty disappointed in our experience after so much anticipation and hype.

    The positive first: We really enjoyed the drive to the restaurant, we enjoyed the view on and from the property, we enjoyed the rustic / greenhouse / farm setting, we enjoyed the concept, we enjoyed the beet salad, the desert and the coffee. Prior to our Sunday excursions we did read some of the reviews; many of the reviews spoke about how salty the food was. This too was our experience. There were three in our party and we were able order most of the items in the three course set menu and share. It was unanimous, most of the items were over salted. The first course: beet salad, poutine, and the mussel chowder. The beet salad was very good and the shining dish. The gravy in the poutine was over salted to the point it may have been inedible. The mussel chowder, also over salted. The second course: Tourtiere, mushroom waffle and king salmon. The meat in the tourtiere was over salted but the gravy with blue cheese was not. The mushroom cake that crowed the waffle was over salted. This dish was saved because the waffle and maple syrup cut the salt down to an acceptable level. The king salmon, was supposed to be cooked medium rare, but instead it was cooked rare. This was the only dish that was not over salted. The third course: Coffee, which was outstanding and all three deserts. All were very good and enjoyable. All of the food mentioned has great potential, with the right amount of salt each of the dished could be very good and enjoyable. I really want the Patowmack Farm restaurant to be successful, I hope they read the reviews and scale back on the salt.

    Delicious, creative presentation, interactive food in a gorgeous setting with an unparalleled view! We've been to all of DC's finest but this one takes the farm, I mean, cake. Nothing pretentious just really good food, prepared really well, with an artistic eye for presentation. The staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
