 Sixty-seven miles away from Washington, DC, self-taught chef Patrick O’Connell is not only far away from the influence of Washington beltway restaurants, he's also far outside the stiff mold of great classical rules and techniques. Few chefs have a stronger culinary personality and style in this country; O'Connell is emboldened, his imagination fertile. But his brainy instincts know when to curb exuberance. O'Connell's contemporary American cuisine hits on every level. Each night there’s a six-course and ten-course (with optional wine pairings) tasting menu. While the ten-course is set, the six-course allows for choice. Appetizers might include the whimsical "A Tin of Sin," osetra caviar with crab and cucumber rillette, or carpaccio of baby lamb with Caesar salad ice cream. One might then savor such main courses as pecan-crusted barbecue short rib paired with a miniature Swiss chard-wrapped filet mignon, or spinach tortelli with chanterelles and bambino eggplant purée. It’s hard to choose from among the desserts, but you can’t go wrong with the warm Granny Smith apple tart with buttermilk ice cream, or butter pecan ice cream sandwich accented with chocolate and hot caramel sauce. The wine list is probably thicker than the local phone book and filled with treasures. Service is impeccable. Be prepared to pay the price, a big one, for such a memorable experience.
