Given the problem that is the high guy-to-girl ratio in most engineering occupations, the existence of a girl in such a situation usually means showering the oddity with nerdy adulation. Of course, if the girl turned out to be as cool as Ann, then we must proceed to buff our shoes, shine our wallets, and put on the best fedoras when it comes time to celebrate the very special occasion that is her birthday.
The Inn at Little Washington is an exceptional restaurant. At least that is what the Washingtonian Magazine told me in their annual rating of 100 best restaurants in the Washington DC area. It is a quint little restaurant/hotel that was fortunate enough to have once housed the celebrated inventor of the Internet Mr. Al Gore, and the great examiner Victor Wang.
Setting:
The Inn is situated in a small rural setting, with Colonial (possibly?) styled housing and a breath of fresh air never before tainted by city-dwellers. Certainly a great place to be to get away from the hectic work place or even the boring everyday life.
Food:
As spectacular as anyone can imagine. Each course is artistically presented and tucks at your taste buds until you're licking the sauce from your plate.
(presenting the world's smallest baked potato)
(the presentation of appetizers were stylish and unique)
(I think I'm going to need more meat on my plate)
(Foie Gras, the stable of our high-rolling diet. A note about the hot v. cold Foie Gras: both are delicious, but both may be acquired tastes. If you like them, sit next to someone who dislikes them, so maybe you can just yoink them off of their plate. Sauce is essential for making the hot Foie Gras, and the ones served at the Inn leaves me just a bit less wanting than one served at Cityzen)
(possibly the greatest course the Inn has to offer was the absolute delightful "7 deadly sins" that was delicious to the point that i felt decadent eating it)
(the vegetarian option for dessert was more amusing to look at)
