ABOUT US

The Red Hen opened its doors in September, 2008, just as the country entered a time of economic upheaval. We weren’t sure what to expect, to be honest. Could a fine dining restaurant in a little town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia survive? Could we sustain our commitment to providing excellent dishes built on the finest local ingredients, when buying off a delivery truck was so much easier and cheaper? Would we find a loyal clientele to enjoy good food and personalized service in our cozy, 26-seat historic red-brick building?

Yes, yes, and oh, yes.

More than ten years on, we are delighted to report that our vision has held true. The Red Hen stands as a testament to the belief that small can be mighty, that values matter, and that quality, compassion, and really great cooking make all the difference.

We invite you to come in one night and see for yourself.
