You'll have to forgive me a bit on this one. I waited a little too long to post about this meal, so my recollection is a bit fuzzy.
Culpeper is a bit outside of the Fredericksburg area, but close enough. My wife and I took a spur of the moment road trip and ended up in Culpeper as our base for visiting some wineries the next day. I'd never heard of Foti's, but it looked interesting from their website. The Chef is the former Sous Chef from the Inn at Little Washington.
We started out with appetizers of scallops and lamb. The scallops were grilled nicely and were sweet and delicious. The lamb was shaved thin and placed on a crostini, it was great. Our main courses were a trio of duck and monk fish. Both dishes were above average. The duck consisted of a pan seared breast, a sausage made with cabbage and pan fried ravioli's. while they were all good, I think I could have eaten about 20 of the ravioli. The monk fish was cooked with tomatoes on top of couscous. Monk fish can be tricky to cook, but this one was cooked perfectly.
If you find yourself in Culpeper, I would encourage you to stop in and try the food at Foti's.
