HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Honoring fathers, mentors and all of those that embrace the responsibility of nurturing and raising children, whether they be dads, uncles, grandfathers or someone who devotes their time to make sure children are surrounded with the support and guidance needed to develop into strong, caring individuals.
Let's thank our dads and father figures for always being present in our lives.

The smells are captivating as June brings the sweet aromas of wild roses and honeysuckle. Mulberries have made their appearance and the blueberries, and black raspberries are almost ready - perhaps the warm weather will push them along. We will wait for wineberries and later blackberries. We are harvesting garlic scapes which means in another few months there will be lots of fresh garlic. We continue to cut kale, peas, turnips, beets, carrots, spinach, letttuces, nasturtiums, onions and more and lots of herbs. Most everything has been planted and now we plant in succession for a continuous crop of beans, squash, basil, cucumbers and more. We have seen our first tomatoes blossom and are waiting impatiently for that luscious flavor. I love the bounty. All the blossoms in our gardens provide bright flavors and beautiful additions to our menu. Though the menu is posted, with the season bringing us new ingredients almost daily, you should expect some surprises. Each month brings another joy to the growing season. The weather has been somewhat unpredictible - lots of rain, coolness and yet every day is a blessing.
We were honored by the Northern Virginia Magazine in the Best of NoVA, June 2025. "Restaurant with a View" and "Farm-To-Table Restaurant". This is the readers' favorites issue. Thank you for your continued support and thank you Northern Virginia Magazine. https://northernvirginiamag.com/culture/2025/05/28/best-of-nova-2025/
We invite you to experience an unforgettable dining experience. Join us on a culinary journey - a perfect way to understand and find pleasure in local, seasonal cuisine.
The patio is open and if you desire, you may have a seat outdoors. The view overlooking the Potomac never ceases to amaze. Regardless of the season, you will experience local, organic cuisine. A tranquil setting, inspired by nature, the venue presents a breathtaking view and natural setting overlooking the Potomac River.
Whether sitting in our glass conservatory, gazebo or open-air tent, the view overlooking the Potomac River never disappoints. Join us for a celebration of the connection between kitchen and earth. Each course presents inspiration for the seasons and harmony with the earth. The chefs draw from what the region has to offer, crafting a tasting menu on what our farm and local farmers, fishermen and foragers provide. We strive to excel at turning ordinary evenings into extraordinary ones. There are personalized touches throughout your dining experience that will excite your palate and nourish your soul®
Please support your local farmers. Thank them, the artisan producers, wineries and breweries that work with so much pride to provide you and us with outstanding products. There is no substitute for the simple pleasures that "real" food can provide to your body.
Please let us know of any dietary needs, as we are happy to accommodate advanced requests. Thank you for your continued support. We welcome you to join our family and our earth to table venture.
As a Mother and Grandmother to 8 and Great-Grandmother of one I write this with love -

We have a limited number of highchairs – no booster chairs are available.
