L’Auberge Chez Francois

A favorite restaurant for a special occasion, L’Auberge is set in a French country home in bucolic Virginia with traditional, elegant interiors of wood beams, antiques and chandeliers. The extensive menu is set up prix-fixe style, with classic French specialties like escargot, chateaubriand for two and soufflé for dessert. The private pavilions in the garden are magical for dinner in the summer months, especially with little lights strung up and twinkling. Jacques' Brasserie, serving bistro fare in the wood-panelled downstairs, is a more casual alternative to the formal L’Auberge.
