My wife and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary at The Inn at Little Washington. There was a really interesting PBS show about this restaurant's (eventually successful) quest for 3 Michelin stars.
This is the area where we were seated:
The meal begins with one amuse bouche after another.
These are from the "Gastronaut's Menu" (which includes meat):
Hamachi Crudo with citrus and beet tartare
Carpaccio of Herb-Crusted Elysian Fields Lamb with caesar salad ice cream
Chartreuse of Savoy Cabbage and Maine Lobster with Caviar beurre blanc
Prosciutto-Wrapped Tenderloin of Veal with orange-glazed sweetbreads and Raclette Ravioli
Coconut Sorbet with passionfruit and ginger granite' vanilla panna cotta
Vanilla Panna Cotta with strawberry consomme'
My wife ordered "The Good Earth" (vegetarian menu)
Napoleon of Roasted Eggplant, Tomatoes, and Taleggio Triple Cream with basil ice cream
Corn Three Ways- Sweet Corn Panna Cotta, Corn Salsa, and Baby Corn on the Cob
Pan-Seared Potato Gnocchi with chanterelle mushrooms, marinated peaches, and fines herbs puree'
Sweet and Sour Glazed Tofu with grilled shiitake mushrooms and Thai Basil
Champagne Granite' and Blackberry Sorbet
Lemon Meringue Tartlet with toasted pistachios, meyer lemon confit,
and blackberry-citrus frozen yogurt
You brought back fond memories of our night and dinner at the Inn about 25 years ago. The service was impeccable, the rooms were beautiful and the food was very good but not as it must be now.
