One of the area's best-kept secrets is The Plains, tucked away in Fauquier County, and here is a fine-dining experience you won't want to miss: $20 for $40 worth of fine dining at The Rail Stop.
Just a stone's throw away from Route 66, The Rail Stop sits on Main Street in the quaint village of The Plains, where it has provided a truly fine dining experience for Fauquier denizens.
Head to The Plains for the 86th Virginia Gold Cup on May 7th and continue to The Rail Stop after for an afternoon of sporting tradition and gourmet dining!
Warm up your palette and share the Steamed P.E.I. Mussels ($8.75) with curry, butter, vermouth, parsley, and butter. The Pan Seared Crabcake ($9.75) is a stellar starter, served with greens and chive butter.
Entrees include Grilled Loin of Lamb ($24), served with spinach. The House Made Ravioli ($16), made with fresh Ricotta and Parmesan, is stellar. The Pan Roasted Natural Chicken Breast ($19), served with mashed potatoes, spinach, shallots, mushrooms, chicken stock, and butter.
A Petite N.Y. Strip Steak ($24) perfectly grilled to your liking, is served with a small salad, house cut fries, and a Béarnaise sauce.
