Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Leesburg

This was one of the best meals we've ever had at any restaurant. First and foremost, the service was excellent. Evan was our waiter, and he did an effortlessly phenomenal job -- including recommending a Willamette Valley Pinot that I can't remember because I'm old. 🤔 Jason bussed our table, and while you usually don't really take note of the busboy (apologies to busboys everywhere), Jason not only did a remarkably conscientious job, but he was also very personable AND reminded us, at each visit to the table, to let him know if we needed anything. I've never had a busboy do anything beyond quietly remove the dishes. Jason was as terrific as a busboy can possibly be. And then there's the food. We each had an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert; each course was better than the last, and they started off EXCELLENT -- which means, by the time we got to the desserts, they were simply to die for! We shared all three of the desserts among us, and we couldn't decide which one we liked the best. The birthday girl says, "All three of them were AMAZING." She's right. The restaurant, itself, is pretty basic -- but that's the only thing about The Conche that's 'basic.' This was our first time here, and we absolutely loved it. The Conche is a bit of a drive for us, but totally worth it, and we will definitely be back. The Conche came to us on a recommendation, and the recommendation included, "Do NOT miss their desserts." That was an excellent piece of advice -- if you've never been to The Conche, go in with the expectation that, no matter what happens (fire, flood, brimstone, earthquake, whatever), YOU ARE HAVING DESSERT. Take it to go if you have to -- but do not miss it. Oh, and make a reservation, especially if it's a Saturday evening. Otherwise you might end up having dinner at the Italian joint next door. 😉 Enjoy The Conche. You will not regret it (unless you miss dessert).

This is a modern place. Came there during the restaurant week, had 3 courses menu which was enough to feel full. Loved the Amish chicken and chocolate tart. Wine pairings were excellent.

Just finished the Sourdough 101 bread making demo and it surpassed my expectations. Head baker, Jean Baptiste was entertaining and made the process of sourdough bread making easier than I imagined. He eased my fear of making the levain (starter) and made the overall process of making sourdough bread a lot easier than any recipe I've read. Would love to see more artisan bread making classes, pastry classes, and hands-on cooking classes. Looking forward to more classes in the future.

This restaurant did not disappoint! Our server, Jamie, was fantabulous! The atmosphere and vibes gave what it was supposed to give, and the food...OH MA GAWD.....absolutely delicious. Wonderful time was had by our entire party, and when we're back in DC, this will def be on our list again.

Intimate, charming romantic atmosphere. Great service! Great food!
