A beautifully crafted, welcoming experience from top to bottom. Every single course was packed with flavor and was perfectly executed. The dishes used local ingredients in creative ways. Service was friendly and top notch, and the dining space is comfortable, intimate, and well designed.

I have waited awhile to post this review, but I can no longer. I heard many wonderful things about this restaurant and was excited to have dinner with my girlfriend and our dear friends. We made a reservation many months in advance and I must say, that was the best part of the experience. The food was disappointing at best and I must say the owners and the atmosphere exuded an air of pomposity. I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone. My advice, stay away and save your money.

We eat here every year for my birthday and it never disappoints. The food is creative and delicious. The wine pairings are spot on. The service is attentive without being overbearing. Jake and Sara have assembled a fantastic team. This place is an absolute gem. I cannot recommend highly enough...a fabulous dining experience!

What a major disappointment. We booked this 3-4 months in advance, had to go all the way from DC, spend a night in town, and pay a small fortune just to be utterly disappointed. The service and atmosphere were good. However, the food was possibly one of the worst I had and very small quantities even considering that it was multiple courses. The bread was indeed awesome but some of the dishes I just ate because at that point I was starving. They have an open fire wood fired grill/stove. And, oh boy, did they waste it. They cooked a pork dish on it but the fat remained un-rendered and flabby and the skin was like chewing an elastic band. The pre dessert was inedible. Overall the food was poorly cooked and poorly (or not at all) seasoned. All in all a huge letdown. I left craving a pizza or burger or better yet a properly cooked pork.

We looked forward to our dinner at Three Blacksmiths for more than four months, which is how long the wait for a Friday reservation was at the time.
The five-course meal was NOT worth the wait or the steep price.
We couldn’t eat most of what was served, including dessert!
The best thing on the table was the bread and specialty butter. A $1300+ tab should have gotten us more than a couple of bread baskets.
The service was good, but the amount of time between courses seemed overly long to us.
If you want to overpay and be completely underwhelmed by a meal that leaves you craving a burger and fries afterward, book your reservation at Three Blacksmiths now.

The Three Blacksmiths is my top choice for dining in the DMV area. Securing a reservation here is quite challenging; my husband and I were on the waitlist for nearly three years before finally being able to book a table. The meals were not only beautifully presented but also incredibly delicious. The experience featured a five-course menu, all freshly prepared and decadent, showcasing unique flavors that are hard to replicate at home. The wine pairings were also thoughtfully chosen.
When compared to other high-end culinary experiences, such as Minibar, Pineapple and Pearls, and the Inn at Little Washington, the price point here is very reasonable. Every aspect of the meal preparation and execution was excellent. We received a copy of the menu to keep, which was a nice touch since they change it every week or so.
With only 20 seats available, the service was exceptional. For instance, when I dropped my napkin, I received a new one within 10 seconds. Their attentiveness truly stood out. This place is highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous! We went to three blacksmiths to celebrate my husbands birthday and we’re blown away. The service was exceptional. The food was imaginative and delicious. The atmosphere was both smart and comfortable. Staff were genuine and extremely friendly. We had the best time. I especially appreciated the zero proof cocktail pairing. It’s rare that a zero proof drink has the level of depth and complexity as a regular cocktail and they hit the nail on the head. They were extremely accommodating of gluten free and my random pineapple allergy, ensuring that I didn’t miss any part of the meal, which is really cool! The menu changes weekly, so no promise it’d be on the menu later but they served a razor clam ceviche that I’ll probably think about for years to come. My husband was very partial to the sweet pea soup with tempura fried ramps!
I highly recommend making a trip to visit three blacksmiths - you’ll have an amazing meal, great time, and the next day you can explore all the cool local shops in sperryville! 10 out of 5 stars!

Fabulous dining experience! Only seven tables. Quaint and sophisticated. They make you feel special from the time you enter to the time you leave and beyond! (They reached out after I left to let me know I left glasses behind and then mailed them back at no charge). I just spent a paragraph talking about how wonderful three blacksmiths is, and I didn’t even get to the incredible food. Get your reservation way way in advance and enjoy!

It was one of the worst meals I have ever eaten!
Tasteless shrimp, undercooked rubbery pork. Terrible!
We couldn’t eat most of what was served, including dessert!
The best thing on the table was the bread and specialty butter. A $1300+ tab should have gotten us more than a couple of bread baskets.
