Three Blacksmiths Sperryville Reviews from The Last Year
Absolutely Amazing!!!
We loved everything about our experience at 3 Blacksmiths. As we were waiting for the restaurant to open, we met some of the other guests. I loved how they were just as excited as us to be there that night. The atmosphere is exceptional, the staff is exceptional, and the food was exceptional. I am thankful for the entire experience and would love to go again in the future.
It's hard for me to remember a restaurant experience I have
It's hard for me to remember a restaurant experience I have enjoyed as much as Three Blacksmiths- it truly was one of the most memorable meals I have ever had. I've seen others describe it like you are attending a dinner party held by friends and that is exactly the feeling I got from it. The ambiance is warm and welcoming from the minute you step in. It's an intimate space that only seats about 20 people, and the kitchen is fully open, so you are able to see every course being prepared. The music was a surprisingly memorable part of the meal to me- I learned later there is a great Three Blacksmiths playlist on Spotify! The menu changes weekly and includes five courses with a couple of other small surprises. The website says to plan for about four hours for the meal, and I found that to be accurate- we arrived for the 7 pm seating (a few minutes early to enjoy a cocktail) and left around 10:45. Each course felt thoughtful and like it truly took advantage of the best ingredients that were available that week. Even courses that used ingredients I don't typically love (beet and gorgonzola for one, monkfish for another) were enjoyable to me. I don't think it's possible to be disappointed by your meal here. I also really appreciated that the restaurant was not stingy with their bread service and served as much bread and butter as you wanted- definitely not the norm from other fine dining experiences we've had and was such a pleasant surprise. As the DD for the night, I opted for the zero proof pairing, which I believe was $70. This is an experience I would recommend to anyone regardless of whether you drink alcohol or not. It included five cocktail-type drinks that were as excellent as any cocktail you would have in DC, and I really appreciated that every drink paired perfectly with the course it was served with and incorporated similar or complementary ingredients to each course. The drinks were all very different, too, so it was nice to have a new experience for each course. I felt that each one added a new dimension to its paired course. I also tried some of my husband's wine pairing, which was also impressive, and it was fun to see the different things that the paired wine brought out from each course vs. the zero proof drink. The friendliness of the entire Three Blacksmiths team really made our night- every single person working in the kitchen came out at one point or another and was happy to talk about the food and drink pairings with us. Their warmth made the entire night that much more enjoyable. Overall, we found our experience to be more than worth the price and the trip to Sperryville. We are already hoping to come back and are excited to experience different courses next time! Can't recommend this enough for a special occasion (or even just a nice weekend away)- we have tried similarly priced fine dining experiences in the DMV and this was by far our favorite, and one of the only ones that really felt worth the price. Separately, I am disappointed to see the one star reviews from people passing through that clearly are not familiar with the restaurant. The restaurant's policies are not unreasonable and these reviews do not seem fair.
fabulous experience from start to finish.
Cozy restaurant and a warm welcome from the owners. Course after course was delicious and imaginative. We also purchased the wine pairing option and would highly recommend.

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.

Absolutely superb meal and experience from start to finish.
Welcoming, knowledgeable owners and staff offer just the perfect blend of unobtrusive but exceptional attention to every detail making guests feel comfortable and extremely well taken care while never being over the top or stuffy. The food is exciting, exquisitely balanced and unexpected flavors and beautifully plated, inviting you to experience every element. The timing of each dish allows for time to sit and enjoy instead of feeling rushed through, and the music and restaurant volume are perfect. The restaurant itself is simply stunning, with the same attention to small details that are in every dish and the service that accompanies them. Will be returning at every opportunity to enjoy this creative team's genius for the change of seasons in beautiful Sperryville. An outstanding restaurant at the top of their game in every way.

Get on their waitlist now! BEST DINING EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES even surpassing Inn at Little Washington and Joel Robuchon restaurants in New York and Paris!! The amazing Addeo couple who orchestrate this make you feel like a welcome guest in their home. The venue is small, warm, and inviting with custom touches like the blacksmith-themed anvil with your name at the table. The staff is perfectly (just enough) attentive and knowledgeable. The food is almost indescribable except to say that it every bite is a party in your mouth. Bread is served on hot stones to keep it warm. Watching the cooking and plating magic is engrossingly entertaining. The wine pairing was perfection with detailed descriptions of the taste profiles and origins of the uncommon wines. Hats off to Sara, Jake and their staff for making this an exceptionally special evening that we won't forget. Cannot wait to return.

Wonderful, wonderful. I want to go again
It was wonderful. The food was wonderful and the service was wonderful. It was just wonderful. Even the coffee was wonderful.
Very pricey modern American restaurant with a single
Very pricey modern American restaurant with a single seating tasting menu that lives up to the hype and the expectations of the price tag. My wife and I have wanted to come here for years and we're in Sperryville a lot, but this place is not kid friendly (both in that the single-seating meal runs from 7-10p and the setting and expectations aren't set up for kids) and we're always here with our kids. We finally had the chance to go while Grandma was watching the kids and it was a lot of fun. Even then, getting a reservation can be hard to impassible, so plan ahead. The entire meal is a delight. You start sitting down with champagne and a per-dinner cocktail if you want (we got zero-proof Negronis, which were fantastic) while you can look over the spacious room with exposed wood and beams everywhere as well as a view of the kitchen where the small army 4-6 people prepare food for the ~20 diners that are there any given night. For each course, the one of the chefs will come explain the entire course as well as any wine pairings that come with it. While it's standard to do this for tasting menus, it's easy to forget how much it amps up the experience and lets you really pay attention to the food and what's going on. The actual courses definitely lived up to the hype. The appetizer of an oyster, puff pastry and deviled quail egg set the bar high to start with three very different things, but each was impressive. The deviled quail egg is probably the best deviled egg I've ever had and is still in my mind despite being "only" a deviled egg. The bluefin tuna (basically sushi) topped with avocado was the star of the night in my mind. It was just amazing in the way that tuna sashimi is at it's best and paired with just a hint of herbs and avocado nailed it. The soup (basically minestrone) was actually a bit of a letdown--it was both a bit too salty and not particularly inspired set of vegetables. The ravioli and guinea fowl ballotine brought things back up a notch with just phenomenal earthy notes in the raviolis and an all-around great main course of delicate, well-seasoned poultry. The dessert was light with a crunchy meringue over ice-cream-like semifreddo. All together the courses were enough to take me from slightly hungry to well-fed without being overly stuffed, which is always hit-and-miss with tasting menus like this. If the portion sizes are too big, you wind up stuffed before you're done and if they're too small, you leave hungry. The wine pairing was also very good, but my suggestion is to get the reserve wines. It's $35-45 more for the reserve wines depending on the if you get short pours or full pours, but well worth it--especially given how small an amount of money it is compared to the overall meal. My wife and I got one set of short pours of the house wines and one set of short pours of the reserve wines. The house wines were good--arguably very good--but simply disappointing compared to the reserve wines which were phenomenal. I really liked the option to have short pours (2-3 oz) vs. full pours (about 4 oz) because, frankly, drinking effectively a full bottle of wine myself (6 courses * 4 oz) is just more than I can drink in a night without feeling like crap.
