I’ve eaten at a lot of places around Virginia, and a few of them just stay on your mind. You know the kind, where the food’s always solid, the staff actually seem happy to see you, and the vibe just feels right.
Some are where you go to mark something special, and others are where you end up on an ordinary Tuesday that somehow turns great. These Virginia restaurants keep proving that good food and a welcoming atmosphere never go out of style.
1. The Inn At Little Washington, Washington
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this legendary establishment has set the standard for American fine dining since 1978. Chef Patrick O’Connell transforms local ingredients into culinary masterpieces that look almost too beautiful to eat.
The service here feels effortless, with staff anticipating your needs before you even realize them. I remember celebrating my anniversary there, and the attention to detail made it unforgettable…
