restaurant foraged. at patowmack farm

“Great food with an amazing view. Great service. Top notch Sommelier showcasing Virginia wines. Highlight for me was the pre appetizer with a corn shell, salad and a fermented corn. Delicious blue catfish. Lovely palate cleanser with mulberries. And the wines so good. The poached egg was really good creamy with a mushroom ragu.”

“To celebrate our anniversary, we left the bustling suburbs and spent several hours at restaurant foraged. at Patowmack Farm. It was absolutely one of the most extraordinary meals of our life. Having just opened this month, it is clear that Chef Chris has created something very special and unique. Our superb tasting was served outdoors overlooking the Potomac River. The five course chef’s tasting menu was fresh, creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. All parts of the meal were locally sourced; Chef Chris, himself, foraged for the mushrooms we enjoyed in several courses. Effortlessly and graciously, the team accommodated all of my dietary limitations. Perhaps what made the evening most special was our server, John. Apart from his excellent technical skills, he was a generous host and fascinating storyteller. He shared details about the history of Patowmack Farm and the sources of the ingredients in each sumptuous plate. He created an atmosphere of radical hospitality in countless ways. We have discovered a gem far closer than Blackberry Farm and yet just as world class. We can’t wait to return!”

“Celebrated my wedding anniversary here, the unparalleled service, presentation, and atmosphere truly made for a memorable experience. The staff was amazing, as was the setting and views offered on their hill-top location overlooking the river. The 5-course menu was artfully prepared. I highly recommend this venue for your special occasions.”

“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of renting this restaurant for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner service in June 2025. The event was exceptional. The venue itself is stunning—intimate, warm, and full of character, making it the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful occasion. The staff was attentive and professional throughout the entire day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Our guests are still raving about the food. Chef Colby was a joy to work with—engaged in the planning process and full of thoughtful, creative alternatives to accommodate both our adventurous palates and the dietary restrictions of our guests. The owner, Beverley, went above and beyond on the day of the event. Her presence and support made all the difference, and her commitment to making sure we felt taken care of was evident. We also dined here earlier in the year for Valentine’s Day and had a similarly memorable experience. Whether you're planning a major event or simply looking for a special night out, we wholeheartedly recommend this gem of a restaurant.”

“This is a magical place! From the greeting to the music, everything here is utterly brilliant. They were incredibly accommodating when I had to change the reservation by a day and then they were absolutely wonderful throughout the dinner experience. The food is fantastic. My photos don't do it justice but every looked wonderful and tasted magnificent. I am already looking at booking again as the menu changes regularly. I can't wait”
