    Food was probably the best I’ve had in Virginia. Everything was super flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and exceptionally well cooked. The service was also fantastic and the ambiance was top notch. We dined here for a birthday and the staff also made several small gestures to make the dinner feel extra special for the birthday individual. Would definitely be back for a special occasion dining experience.

    Food was excellent but we arrived about 20 minutes early and they would not seat us till the time of our reservation. There were many tables available. For a Saturday night it was not crowded. I observed the 20 minutes that we had to wait and they did not seat 1 table. Very poor customer service. Will think twice before booking there again. Sorry to say this since I really like their food.

    You start with the ambience of entering a renovated 1852 train station in old town Warrenton. In the summer they have a large patio for outdoor dinning. The food was outstanding today, as usual. We started with their famous She-Crab Soup and the Yellowfin Ahi Tuna Wontons that will never disappoint anyone. It was lunch, so we all had the Angus Burger seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium with white cheddar and applewood bacon. I added their bacon jam. Then for desert we had the Creme Brulee and Apple Crisp that were a perfect ending. Our waitress Brenda V. was outstanding with a great attitude. We could not have asked for a better brithday lunch for my wife.
