The Dabney

The Dabney exudes charming, contemporary farmhouse vibes with its exposed brick, light walls, and dark wood, and the look is completed by a slickly arranged open kitchen complete with a wood-fired hearth. Chef/owner Jeremiah Langhorne serves up the flavors of the Mid-Atlantic with a hint of a Southern accent and the tasting menu is a deeper, more committed expression of the team's talents. Begin with bite-sized snacks including their pie crust tart with pickled blueberries, granola crumble, and cheese fondue or their Madeira compressed melon. Then, hearth-roasted vegetables are served over a bed of farro salad with whipped ricotta, herbs from their rooftop garden, and finished with a pour of a basil sauce. American wagyu cap grilled over coals is accompanied by eggplant prepared three ways for a perfectly satisfying main dish.
