The Conche

The Conche in Leesburg, Virginia, is always an absolutely wonderful upscale fine dining experience. This restaurant has an interesting palette in that all of its menu items are infused with chocolate. This doesn't necessarily mean that the food tastes like chocolate but that it will contain chocolate to some degree. On this visit, we came to the Conche for their Valentine's Day five course dinner with wine pairing. The food here is absolutely amazing and so eloquently prepared. (**Pictures of all the courses can be found attached to this review along with the Valentine's Day specialty menu.) The courses that we ordered are as follows, Course one: Butternut Squash Soup Course two: Tomato and Artichoke Pie Course three: Shrimp and Grits Course four: We differed in our tastes for the fourth course. I went with the Scallops while my partner went with the Beef Tenderloin. Course five, The Sweet Finale: Our taste differed as well on the dessert course. I had the Cupid's Kiss while my partner had a taste for the Match Made In Heaven. All in all, it was a fantastic dinner. The wait staff was top-notch, professional, and courteous as usual. Coats and apparel checked here will come back unscathed. The owner is always a delight and very welcoming in this robustly elegant venu with its chocolate kissed allure. For this Valentine's Day themed dinner, The Conche and its staff we're transformed by the magic of the holiday. The staff donned all red, the napkins were hearts, the chairs were swapped out to red, and everything looked the part. I would like to mention that I also went for the wine pairing with this meal, which gave an individual wine paired with each course listed above. Both myself and my partner tried the wine with each course, and for some reason, this fell short of expectations in flavor and pairing for several of the courses. Having tried the wine pairing at several other five course dinners, I was a bit surprised as The Conche is usually so particular in all of its offerings. This restaurant and area of Leesburg is LGBTQ friendly.

We had a large party so seating was a little cramped but the service was attentive and the food came out reasonably quickly for as large of a group as we were. The food was good although my expectations were for more with the hype about chocolate factoring in most of their recipes.

Unique food that was delicious. our server Salvador was very friendly and attentive. The poor chocolate creator was solo that day and they were very honest about our dessert being a bit of a wait. We were fine to wait and it was WORTH it. Restaurant was a bit cramped in terms of seating and table size.
