Reservations can be through Open Table. Single diners take note: you may have to call the restaurant directly to reservea a table because Open Table will show tha there are no seats available no matter which date and time you select.
As I perused the list of local nominees for the 2014 James Beard Awards. I noted restaurants I had not visited. I had never heard of
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm located in Lovettsville, Virginia. Lovettsville is near the Virginia /Maryland border off of Route 15.
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm's 40 acres of land is nestled on a hillside overlooking the Potomac Valley in Lovettsville. Eleven of the 40 acres are used to grow ingredient used by the restaurant in its dishes.
I visited on a quiet Thursday evening; the menu was a la carte. I tried the tempura dilly beans, parsnip soup, dogfish entrée, Sophie's select cheddar cheese, and Sitting by the campfire - a restaurant specialty beverage featuring blended scotch. Everything was artfully presented and delicious, but the parsnip soup was amazing!

I left feeling sated, but not uncomfortably full. The printed menu with my name printed at the top was a lovely touch. The staff is unobtrusive, but very attentive.
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm also offers cooking classes. Look for an upcoming entry from me about my cooking class adventure at The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm!
