Dallas has no Michelin starred restaurants, so when planning a trip to DC, I booked early to ensure that we got in. Unfortunately, I later realized, that The Inn at Little Washingon is in Washington, VIRGINIA (not D.C. . 1.5 hours away from where we would be. Doh. The full meal with gratuity is prepaid, so when it was clear after booking and paying, that we definitely wouldn't have time for the mini road trip during the initially planned visit, they allowed me a 1-time reservation change, which was great. It was the perfect excuse to fly back up for a weekend! It got a little clunky when I made contact to reschedule, because an attendant thought I had already made my 1 change, and she took too harsh a tone when explaining this to me in her email, but she later realized her error and rebooked as requested. Really, only a brief annoyance, but for a meal experience for 2 at $1,445.63 (prix fixe meal, including wine pairing and 22% set gratuity , every single little thing about the experience should feel smooth. And, from then every single little thing really was. Everything (the space, the presentations... was beautiful, and every bite was decadent and flavorful. We had their Gastronaut's Menu, and I usually only do fish for meat, so of course, their seafood choices were my favorites, but just to get the full experience, I ordered the lamb too, and it was easy to see why it would be a stand out for most (as it was for my date . And, the service was expert-level. I think this was my 3rd Michelin starred restaurant, and it safely lived up to expectations. I've realized that I'm interested in finding and trying the ones that feel more personable and complex rather than regal in food and experience. I don't mean that to take any points away from The Little inn, which was very very good, but despite that and the effort and cost involved to experience it, it was not my number 1 best dining experience in D.C. I would put it in my top 3. I would eat there again, but I probably won't, but only because of the inconvenience in getting there (for me .
