   As always, superb food (we had two types of fish, and both were prepared wonderfully, paired with a dozen oysters), and friendly excellent service. This is a wonderful neighborhood place - so much more than a bar, with a great wine list and really good chef.

   It was our Anniversary and wasn’t sure where to go for that special meal! Firestones was perfect from the 7 course tasting menu to the cocktails and our waiter, all 5 stars! Every course was outstanding! Highly recommend for a great meal and atmosphere! We sat upstairs next to the window overlooking Market Street!

   Great service, great food, plus ambience, what else could you ask for? We had our favorite waitress. She recommended an excellent wine when our first choice was unavailable. She is very friendly and gives exemplary timely service. Great Mother's Day experience. Dinners were Scallops, Lamb Chops and Waygu Beef. All were excellent. Desert menu was a little light. We went with home made ice cream. Delicious!

   The food was gourmet. I had the crab cake. Delicious and I know crab cakes. Husband had scallops. Would have liked 5 instead of 4. Mixed green salad was enough for two and delicious. We also had oysters. Great! They also served palate cleaners - a .real treat.

   Mother’s Day. Good food and ambiance. Bloody Mary was not special. Service good, but busy day so took a long while to see our server. Still a nice experience as always.

   Food was delicious! I had the spinach frittata and my husband had the wagyu beef eggs benedict. I also had their jalapeño margarita which was one of the best I have ever had. Just the right amount of heat. Service was excellent, like always. Will definitely be back!

    I do not normally write reviews when using Open Table, but I feel the need to warn diners that this restaurant, while would be very nice for a brunch with the girls or a date night, is not at all family friendly. We went for brunch with a 6-month old and a 7-year old. We were told upon arrival there was no highchair/sling available to be used for the baby carrier because they were all in use. However when looking around the restaurant, we could only spot one in use. When we went to order our food, there is no children's menu on the digital menu at all. When we asked if they had a kids menu, we were given options. But it was just side orders of eggs or breakfast meat, or a hotdog/chicken fingers/cheeseburger. We went with eggs, but they didn't come with anything. The children were very well behaved, but at times both the hostess and the waitress made smug faces at each other more than once, seemingly annoyed that we had children with us. They were both young ladies who likely do not have children of their own, which we understand. But the entire experience fell short of feeling welcoming and accommodating. And for the price of the food we ordered, it felt very underwhelming. We started with sharing the cinnamon rolls, which were generously sized but had little to no flavor. I ordered the shrimp po boy at our server's suggestion. There were 8 half pieces of shrimp on the sandwich, and the roll was way too large for the amount of filling inside. They also did not even have mimosas on the menu, which is odd for a brunch menu. When I asked if they had them, the waitress said "Of course" in a smug tone. The overall experience was disappointing. We likely will not be back. Would I recommend Firestone's to a friend? Probably not. I think there are too many better options in Frederick that are of better value.

    Brunch at 10. We were a little early but quickly seated. The Monte Cristo with thick sliced bread, lots of ham and turkey was delicious but I would have liked a dusting of powdered sugar and a dab of strawberry jam. Our other entree was corned beef hash with lots of chunks of corned beef, perfect egg and quite good. The portions were very generous. Our server was nonexistent. We had to ask another to refill our water and coffee but staff was very pleasant. Come when you are hungry.

    Firestone’s is our go to restaurant when our kids come up. Yesterdays venture was sub par. Small serving of short rib made even worse by the fact that it was mostly a glob of fat. I question how the chef could plate it. Others ordered duck, branzini, and salmon. The salmon was the winner of the night. We love the crab dip but jeez, 5 slices of baguette and carrots and zucchini wasn’t enough for the portion. Left us begging for more bread. Regarding the short rib, if our waitress would’ve checked in he could have pointed it out. But, alas, no one asked. By the time she returned, others had finished their meals. We’ve decided to check out other restaurants in the future. Hoping this visit was a fluke, as we really love the atmosphere.

    Firestone has always been a reliable choice. The food is high quality, albeit uncomplicated, and the selection would indicate that they aren't trying to be all things to all people. The service is always first-rate. Be prepared for some volume - the acoustics absorb nothing.

    A new spot for my wife and I and we enjoyed every bit of it. Colton, our server, was excellent and the food was delicious. The bartender was great as well and we certainly enjoyed our alcoholic beverages. I wouldn't change a thing and I'll definitely be back for multiple visits.

    We had not been back to Firestone’s in a while and wanted to go back for Easter brunch with our family. The front staff immediately greeted us, were happy and seated us for our reservation right away. Everyone in the restaurant was very pleasant - the exception being our waitress. She seemed completely miserable, and was fairly rude the entire time we ate. She was snippy, and walked away a few times when we weren’t even done asking questions. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten at a restaurant where a waiter or waitress just seemed like they hated their job. Maybe she was mad that she was working on Easter or had some personal things going on, but she was a miserable individual who shouldn’t be waiting on tables if that is her normal personality. Our food was decent, but nothing too impressive. We were a bit disappointed that there wasn’t any kind of specials or different options for Easter - it was the regular menu, which is pretty much the same stuff. The dinner menu looks like it has slightly changed since we last ate here. Bottom line, we would not want to have the same experience we had with this waitress again. If she treats everyone that way, she shouldn’t be working here.

    I love Firestone's restaurant in Frederick, MD. Service is always excellent, cocktails are interesting, innovative, and delicious, and the food never disappoints. We had the baked oysters to start which were really, really, wonderful - and I am a die hard raw oyster kind of gal - I was amazed at how much I liked the baked oysters. I had a shrimp po' boy sandwich and my son had the seared tuna sandwich. We were both very happy. The bread they use, and the sauces they make, perfectly complemented the shrimp and tuna.

    Food and service were very good, crab dip was creamy and delicious. Scallops were incredibly fresh and sweet, but not a fan of the bed of brussel sprouts. I thought that was a little overwhelming to the scallops. Cocktails were original and delicious.

    We were served immediately from a pleasant hostess. The quality of Firestones over the years has been exceptional. My husbands rockfish was delicious and his onion soup a little too sweet. My arugula salad was too salty. My meal of veal medallions was a disappointment, it was cooked appropriately to medium but was served tepid with cold mashed potatoes. I did tell the wait staff about my cold dish and they offered to take the food back and serve me another. I declined. I was disappointed. Maybe a new chef, maybe Covid impact on implementing fine dining. They need to steep up their game.

    The waitresses at the check in desk giggled amongst themselves when I mentioned my last name. There was someone in the restaurant who kept clearing their sinuses making very disgusting sounds. The food was meh. I ordered scrambled eggs which came out like an oily overcooked omelette. Hash browns were old and super oily. Our waitress was a little cold towards us but we didn’t even mind. The only thing I’d say I probably enjoyed was the cup of coffee I ordered.

    One of our favorite local restaurants. Consistently good food, dependable friendly service. Great ambiance. Had Oysters and salad to start. Both were good as expected. For the main course I had the Rockfish and my wife had the veal medalists. Both dishes were delicious. For desert we had homemade ice cream and a piece of cheesecake. The cheesecake was a minor disappointment, not creamy enough for our tastes. The ice cream more than made up for it. The server was very friendly and did not miss a beat. We have had the pleasure of her service multiple times before. We will be back again soon.
