Why Do You Take Deposits?
When you book your table, we charge a $50 deposit per guest up front. Our dining room seats just 20 guests (about 7 tables), so we’ll be collecting and preparing ingredients especially for your visit. A deposit system allows us to anticipate your arrival and provide you with a truly special dining experience at the best possible price.
What does my balance due include?
On the morning of your arrival, your credit card will be charged the following:
Balance on dinner(s) minus deposit paid
20% service
9.3% Virginia state and local tax
When you arrive, you can add beverages to your tab which will be charged to your card on file. Let us know before the end of your meal if you'd like to pay a different way for those items.
As much as possible, we prefer all transactions to happen behind the scenes so you can just sit back, relax and let us serve you!
Can I Split the Tab?
Splitting the tab with your dining companions is easy. When making your reservation, you'll see a "Split Tab" button. Enter the email address(es) of your dining companions and the number of people in their party. They'll get an email invitation to enter their credit card information and pay their portion of the bill. They must agree to split the tab before the morning of your booking, or your credit card will automatically be charged the balance.
If you didn't split the tab while making the reservation, but there are still a few days before your dinner, email owner@threeblacksmiths.com with the email address(es) of the guests with whom you'd like to split the tab and we can invite them to do so on your behalf.
If you didn't split the tab before dinner and your dining companion(s) wish to pay for all or part of the meal afterward, we're happy to provide an itemized total so you can settle up separately; we don't issue full or partial refunds for the purpose of splitting the tab.

Wait List
If a date you want is already full, you can sign up for the wait list through our reservation system. The icon appears at the top and bottom of the reservation grid (and pops up automatically when there's no availability). Once you sign up, you'll be notified by email (along with anyone else on the waiti list) if a table has re-opened. The table will go to the first person to log into our reservation system and confirm the booking. Joining the wait list won't notifiy you of tables that are newly opened on our reservation system - only those that are available to re-book.

Dietary Restrictions
We’re able to accommodate most dietary requirements, including gluten intolerance and vegetarians that are okay with eggs and dairy. At this time, we do not offer a vegan menu option. Also, keep in mind, that our small kitchen is not gluten-free or free of any other potential food allergens such as nuts or shellfish. If you have multiple restrictions or life-threatening allergies, we may not be able to accommodate you so please contact us at (540) 987-5105 or info@threeblacksmiths.com before booking your table.
Also, be sure to specify the dietary restrictions (if any) of everyone in your party when booking your table. Last minute menu changes are extremely difficult and we’d hate for anyone to miss out.

Hopkins Ordinary Aleworks, 47 Main Street, Sperryville (micro-brewery, a three-minute walk)

Bad Weather
If the state of Virginia issues warnings to stay off the roads, we’ll be closed for the evening and we’ll work with you to reschedule your dinner with us. We'll be sure to communicate with you if messy weather is in the forecast.
Increase or Decrease in Party Size
Once you've booked your reservation, the number of guests in your party is fixed, so you'll need to email us to increase or decrease your party size. Here's how it works:
