Owned by Montgomery County golf, this is such a great place! This is a new restaurant and wedding venue. If the weather was nicer there are 2 patios to sit outside with a fire pit, chairs and tables. Service was wonderful and very attentive. We had 2 kids with us and having a kids menu was clutch! We had different salads and all were a great size and tasted good! Will come back for sure!
Great location, great atmosphere, delicious food, well-made cocktails, and friendly staff all add up to a 5 star experience in Poolesville. The duck was cooked to perfection, the crispy cauliflower was better than I could have ever expected, and the salmon was perfect. Pricing was good for what they deliver. All in all, you will not be disappointed here!
From a neglected MCG muni to their flagship course. I grew up playing Poolesville Golf Course back in the day. Back when Hootie and the blowfish filmed "Always want to be with you" on site. They had a hot dog and drink with a round of golf for 15$. A few years after Covid. The county invested a bunch of money into building the Farmhouse bistro next door as well as rebranding the golf course. This has helped to bring more golfers to Poolesville. The general manager used to work at Poolesville Golf course. He transferred to a different MCG course and is back. The pro shop and golf staff are all very friendly. The superintendent has done a fantastic job the past two years keeping the course in great shape. The new cart paths are also great plus. Practice facilities include grass tee boxes on the weekend and a large short game/ putting area. Japanese Ice/water machine for hot days. I will drive an extra 15+ minutes to avoid crowds at other munis when my club is having events. Easy 5/5 stars!
Gorgeous venue! I really love how beautiful this place is. Just for that alone, I would come back. Everyone working there seemed very helpful & friendly. I loved the mocktail they had - it was apple cider, club soda & some star anise/cinnamon. For lunch I ordered the short rib and it was delicious. The whole plate went together really well. The only issue was everything was just a bit too greasy & that definitely took away from it. - 1 star because: ~ there was way too much olive oil on my plate (you can see it pooling around the potatoes ~ there was a soggy/greasy sprout on my plate that was bright green and not fried at all ~ the potato mash was puréed but had one large potato chunk in it These are minor things, but this place is aiming for upscale (with upscale prices) so these minor things shouldn't really happen. Overall, it's a very cool spot & I'm excited to come back.
For my birthday, I went to Crossvines for lunch, and it was a beautiful winery. While it was rainy and gloomy that day, you could tell it would be lovely on a warm day. The food and drinks were pretty good, and so was the service. I enjoyed my waiter - he was very attentive and kind, and overall, it was a great day. The dessert the chef gave me for my birthday, some berry cheesecake, was perfection. I just took off one star for the chicken, while good, it could've used a sprinkle of more seasoning, but I really liked the batter on it however.
I believe the restaurant portion of The Crossvines recently just opened. We impromptly came here pretty late on a weekday evening so we were told they were no longer accepting reservations. We ended up ordering at the bar and taking our own food outside to sit at their tables facing the golf course. We both ordered the flight (1 white, 1 rose, 1 red) for $20. We really enjoyed the CV Front Porch white wine. For food, we ordered the aged brisket burger ($21) and crossvines cheese & charcuterie ($28). Both were delicious and worth the price we paid. The charcuterie board had various meats and local cheeses, honeycomb, nuts, beets, and jam. We really liked the atmosphere and vibe. It was quiet and there were tables or sofas you could choose from to sit at outside. There is plenty of parking right out front. We also thought it was nice that right when you walk in they have a table with local items (coffee, honey, soap).
