It was our son\u2019s 15th<\/sup> (!) birthday a couple of weeks ago and, in addition to feeling really old, we celebrated with a dinner at the Inn at Little Washington (at his request).<\/p>\n

As usual, dinner was fabulous from the moment we stepped into the restaurant until we were wheeled out of the restaurant in a food coma.<\/p>\n

Appetizers included the m\u00e9lange of the Inn garden\u2019s heirloom tomatoes with marinated fairy tale eggplant and local sheep milk\u2019s feta<\/p>\n

\"img_3481\"<\/p>\n

to a tin of sin (American osetra caviar with peekytoe crab and cucumber rillettes)<\/p>\n

\"img_3482\"<\/p>\n

to a quartet of Rappahanock oyster slurpees (with sorbets of cucumber, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and wasabi)<\/p>\n

\"img_3483\"<\/p>\n

Additional courses consisted of a carpaccio of herb-crusted Elysian Fields baby lamb loin with Caesar salad ice cream<\/p>\n

\"img_3485\"<\/p>\n

to a crispy napoleon of chilled main lobster with osetra caviar<\/p>\n

\"img_3487\"<\/p>\n

to a pan-seared Maine diver scallop with Jerusalem artichoke pur\u00e9e, capers and tomato relish<\/p>\n

\"img_3490\"<\/p>\n

to grilled pepper-crusted black kingfish with shallot confiture and red wine reduction<\/p>\n

\"img_3488\"<\/p>\n

to crispy maple-glazed pork jowl with braised red cabbage and walnut ravioli<\/p>\n

\"img_3492\"<\/p>\n

to fontina-filled tortelloni on a sweet corn saut\u00e9 with local shiitake mushrooms and patty pan squash pur\u00e9e<\/p>\n

\"img_3489\"<\/p>\n

to a chanterelle mushroom \u201cmeatloaf\u201d with celery root pur\u00e9e and angry red sauce<\/p>\n

\"img_3491\"<\/p>\n

\"img_3493\"<\/p>\n

Dessert included a miniature chocolate birthday cake<\/p>\n

\"img_3494\"<\/p>\n

to the Inn\u2019s signature dessert of seven deadly sins (clearly gluttony is the one practiced most frequently here!)<\/p>\n

\"img_3496\"<\/p>\n

to a peach tart served with almond ice cream<\/p>\n

\"img_3497\"<\/p>\n

It was an incredible meal and a perfect birthday celebration!<\/p>\n
