In the heart of Sperryville, VA, 3 Blacksmiths, is a restaurant that has garnered high praise, including an affirming nod from the Washington Post. Known for its intimate, home-like ambiance and a Chef's Kitchen that exudes warmth and coziness, this dining spot sets high expectations. A recent visit, however, left us with mixed feelings about our culinary journey through its five-course meal, complemented by an amuse-bouche, with the entire experience costing approximately $1200 for four guests, wine pairings and additional drinks included. The evening began on a high note with an amuse-bouche, particularly the quail egg biscuit paired with pork belly and hollandaise sauce, showcasing a promising start with its delightful flavors and textures. Both the oyster and the savory cannoli maintained the momentum, suggesting a memorable meal ahead. The Maine monkfish, served as one of the main courses, was commendably prepared, holding its ground as a solid choice. Similarly, the Roasted Artichoke Soup offered a satisfying blend of flavors, indicative of the kitchen's capabilities. However, the subsequent courses revealed areas for improvement. The Casunzei, a red wine braised beet ravioli, fell short of expectations. Despite its tender pasta and the sweetness of the beets, it seemed to lack the complexity and technique one might anticipate from a restaurant of this caliber. The main dish, Pharaoh Quail Roulade, though adequately prepared, was let down by its accompaniments. The crosnes and sweet potato pave failed to leave an impression, with the latter being notably underseasoned. The final course, a Winter Citrus Torte, unfortunately did not resonate with our table. Reminiscent of a dessert from a bygone era, it missed the mark in delivering the nuanced flavors described on the menu, such as the olive oil in the gelato. On the service front, while generally commendable, there were moments that detracted from the overall experience. An overlooked glass from a previous wine pairing lingered too long, and a server's tendency to speak both softly and rapidly, even after requests for clarity, meant that we often had to rely solely on the menu descriptions. A particular aspect that could enhance the dining experience would be a more traditional division of roles, with Chef Addeo focusing on dish descriptions and a sommelier or beverage director introducing the wine pairings. This might align better with diners' expectations and enhance the appreciation of each course and its accompanying wine. While 3 Blacksmiths has been lauded as one of Virginia's premier dining experiences, our encounter left us longing for the culinary excellence we had anticipated. It's clear that the restaurant possesses the ingredients for a truly exceptional dining experience, from its beautiful setting to the promise shown in several dishes. However, refining the balance and execution of some courses, along with slight adjustments to service, could elevate 3 Blacksmiths to fully meet the lofty expectations it inspires
