The Inn at Little Washington Reviews
A way to celebrate your 18th Anniversary
Excellent dinner of Tasting 6-course meal! I chose the “Our Enduring Classics” with a slight variation of Duck dish as my main instead of Veal tenderloin. Which is very nice of them to accommodate especially as my husband don’t eat seafood, a

This is a one time don't miss experience.
Going to a Michelin 3 Star restaurant is an experience within itself. The decor of the restaurant with the art work and fresh flowers is beautiful. I highly recommend NOT getting the wine pairing. This is a bad idea all the way around. It is WAY

I found this meal and experience to be fairly average among Michelin star restaurants - I was frankly shocked to learn it had three stars. You compare this to a JG or French Laundry - The Inn is nowhere near in the same class. You take, as an example
I Don't Understand Michelin
Michelin guides tout their rare 3* reviews as "worth a special journey". My wife took me here for my 55th birthday, a little over an hour outside of Washington DC. For the 18 hours or so that we stepped away from our normal lives and visi
Surprising & Unacceptable
We stayed in Room 11 (Thomas Keller) and ate at the restaurant in October 2022. The experience was extremely underwhelming. The reason was a lack of service. The positives were that we enjoyed the crow’s nest, afternoon tea, and breakfast. The co
Expected a little more
After our first time dining at a Michelin-star restaurant (the excellent Ox, in Reykjavik, Iceland), we looked to see if any starred restaurants were within driving distance of our home, and this restaurant was the closest. While Ox is a newer one-st
Inexpensive but good
Incredible value for money. We spent only $1200 for two people (plus tax and tip). We’d go back every day at these low prices, but we’d feel selfish for taking up a table and so not letting everyone have the dining experience.
Glad We Went, Sneaky About "Service Charges"
We never heard of the Inn at Little Washington until we received a very generous gift card a few years ago. After looking into it, we finally made the reservation for this month. Being a 2 hour drive, I planned to use the entire gift card without go
A wonderful birthday celebration
We celebrated a milestone birthday. The restaurant totally lived up to its outstanding reputation for excellency in food, plate presentation, service, and ambience. The pear was actually cheesecake with some pear puree on the inside. Delicious!
Excellent birthday dinner
We have been to Patty O’s several times and finally made it to the inn for dinner. The courses were all amazing. The care of the perfect ingredients used was evident ….the perfect baby radish, beautiful big eye tuna, etc. The bread cart was cu
Wonderful place; Prices out of Control
I'll keep this simple; I love this place, but a) it's really not up to the standard of most three star Michelin restaurants, and b) the prices are out of control. To charge $388 with tax and tip extra, and still have up-charges for many ite
Truly Exceptional Meal
We had been looking forward to this experience for a while and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by our names and wished "Happy Anniversary" by every person who came to our table. Food was unique, flavorful, and definitely worth the
Lives up to its reputation!
We've been wanting to experience dinner here for a while now and could not be more happy with our entire experience. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Arriving at the Inn, you are greeted with respect as you are whisked from you
This is in the top tier of food experiences.
Probably one of the top three meals of my life. So inventive and everything was exquisitely composed. We got the wine pairing and it was amazing. I never would've been able to pick out one bottle that would have gone so well with each dish. It was de

Not how I remember
Rather disappointed in the Service. Waiter seemed rushed. We ordered the Cheese cart and never got it. He did not even apologize. Food was excellent.
Good, but not 3 Michelin star good.
Having eaten at other 2 and 3 Michelin star restaurants, I’m not quite sure how the Inn has 3. The food is good, but there were not multiple life changing dishes that we wanted to eat more of. Maybe 1 or 2. Compared to Le Bernadin or L’Enclume,
I hated every minute of it. Michelin should be clawing their stars back.
What was supposed to be a fantastic evening, turned into a nightmare. It started a few hours before our dinner when they called and asked me if I would move our reservation up an hour because they had some last-minute cancellations. I figured maybe

This was sheer and utter perfection.
No other way to say it. First the staff. Colby was our waiter, and suffice it to say that he was the BEST. Gerson was an absolute delight as well, as were all of the wonderful employees who brought bread, refilled drinks, and made us feel so fancy.

This is one the most amazing restaurants on the east coast, if not the country, hands down. This can not be argued. Definitely not inexpensive but a culinary dining experience that is worth every penny. Course after course is a perfect portion that e
Stuck in the Ladies' Room
Wonderful food, impeccable service, but they do not have a handicapped toilet. I am handicapped, and I could not get up from the toilet, which was 12 or 13 inches from the ground. Aren't they supposed to comply with the ADA?
Our experience at the Inn was absolutely superb.
We spent almost a week in the town total, staying at the cottage and dining at the Inn multiple days, we tasted a little of it all! We often refer to our trip as one of the most memorable experiences of our life thus far. Everything from the hospital
What a treat .
You are transported to a world where they take good care of you.The food is out of this world.We came here to celebrate our 40 th. Received personalized menu card. Wine pairing was just too good. Each food is a piece of art . Can't say enough good

Very good food and pampering at restaurant and the inn, but with a few issues
We stayed one night at the Inn and enjoyed the afternoon tea, the dinner, and the breakfast. What stood out to me was how pampered I felt. There were more staff taking care of us than there were customers. The lodging was super cute and had everythin

Pure luxury
The service is beyond compare and the waitstaff makes you feel you are the only one there. The food is imaginative fresh and pure. The ambiance is like dinner with royalty. It is my favourite place for celebrating your anniversary.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Inn at Little Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Inn at Little Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* 😎 @MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* 😎 @MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to 😎 @MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as 😎 @MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* 😎 @MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Inn at Little Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If 😎 @MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, 😎 @MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to 😎 @MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Inn at Little Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
