From the OpenTable editors: At the laidback The Dabney, the modern farmhouse vibe, rootsy soundtrack, and roaring hearth make you feel like you’re at an intimate living room dinner party—but hosted by James Beard Award-winning chef Jeremiah Langhorne. Dig into his seasonal, Mid-Atlantic-leaning tasting menu with bold dishes like a mini apple cake and foie gras torchon that have earned the restaurant MICHELIN Star status.
