Even though it ends up in the same place, your taste buds are in your mouth,right? So you would taste it before it hits your stomach and mixes together. I think my taste buds are going to say BLAHHHH!!!!! No thank you, I will stick to "Normal" flavors. LOL

Looks a bit too nouvelle cuisiney for my taste. A wee bit pretentious? I clicked on this link because I saw the words farm and gutsy so I thought it would be more substantial fare. Ah well. What is Reisling? Is it the same as Riesling?

Well, I have to add my complaint. Even though the food was wonderful and our female waiter was very nice..... when I made the booking, the woman I spoke with insisted my husband would have to wear a coat and tie, that Blue Hill was "formal but casual" -- What does that mean? Then, the day before our reservation, she called me three times in an hour to confirm my reservation. I kept telling her "you just called me" but somehow she or the computer kept forgetting that I had just confirmed this reservation. We arrive there the next day and every man, except one was not wearing a coat and tie and the only other man was just wearing a sport jacket. All the other men were far more than casual - one was even wearing a bowling shirt. I had dressed up also. We were mortified. At least my husband was able to take off his jacket and tie but I was left dressed in a cocktail dress that I wouldn't have worn in this very casual restaurant had the woman been honest.

Then, the waitstaff decided we should both be seated on the same side looking out towards the room instead of across from each other. No other couple was seated that way.

To top off this unfortunate meal, two of the male staff decided it was appropriate to make fun of me and the way I was dressed. How do I know this? Since my mother was deaf, I learned to read lips with her. The one male staff member said to the James Carville doppelganger don't look up quickly, but the fat woman to my right in the corner is falling out of her dress. Well, I had a baby two weeks ago and yes, I had major cleavage and hadn't lost my baby weight (only celebrities lose weight that fast), but to do that in an obvious way in the middle of restaurant -- that I couldn't ignore. I will never go to that restaurant again.

I ate there last week and to paraphrase my muse Homer Simpson: "Mmmm... Face Bacon" The best part is, you can practically see the terror frozen into the little piglets eye holes just as you're about to chomp down on it!

It's hard to believe all these different meats come from the same wonderful, magical animal.

Cassaendra, it doesn't matter how you spell Portobello when referring to the mushroom as different distributors in the US and Europe may employ either spelling rather than the other.

Maybe you should have a drink.

Oooh boy - have reservations there in about 2 weeks - can't wait!

I live quite nearby Stone Barns and will be working at their farm camp this summer.
Blue Hills at Stone Barns is quite an amazing restaurant; I've eaten there once. It really has a vision unlike any other culinary institution. Yes it might seem like absurd prices and ridiculous services like too many waiters, but the food, the presentation, and the location are all wonderful!
Well, Im looking forward to spending time on their farm this summer, so I can learn some secrets of this place!

I have been here for spring, summer, fall and winter. All the menus are out of this world. During the spring months you will see more produce on the menu; however November is just as wonderful. I highly recommend the farmers feast. If you plan on dining on a Saturday evening, I recommend booking two months in advance. My husband and I got married here and it truly is a spectacular / memorable restaurant.

Has anyone been to the Inn at Little Washington and ALSO the Barn? I would like to know which one is better?

Thanks a lot Ed, with this review, an already extremely difficult to obtain reservation will be even more impossible now ;) I really really reeeeeeeaaaaaaally want to go!

Very nice job on the photos too. Mouth watering inducement achieved.

I am ashamed that I live so nearby this establishment and have never been there. I must go. MUST!

laurakitty, early November, hopefully before the first frost, would be great. Late November you'll probably be eating more produce and vegetables from the greenhouse than the fields. But the pork and chicken and other things should still be available. The late November experience would certainly be different but definitely worthwhile.

I'd be a slight challenge to them because I detest a large variety of herbs, vegetables, some meat, and all alcohol. I'd love to check the place out one of these days. Thanks!

After looking at the menu a second time, I noticed shiitake is misspelled. I wonder if they spell portobello, "portabello." :P
