More information on Mount Vernon Inn

Located just outside the front gate of George Washington's beloved home, this restaurant's colonial ambiance complements a visit to Mount Vernon. Wood floors, wood chairs and white-clothed tables create an 18th-century atmosphere. The inn has three fireplaces, and servers wear colonial costumes. The menu reflects colonial and regional tastes. For an appetizer, try the unusual Peanut and Chestnut Soup, an old Virginia favorite, or Colonial Hoe Cakes, corn cakes topped with Smithfield ham and sautéed crabmeat. Among the entrees, the Stuffed Pork Loin with Opium Sauce is a favorite; the stuffing is made of Virginia peanuts and cornbread.
