American | Frederick, Maryland - DC Suburbs

This was our second visit to the Tasting Room. The first time, we cake for dinner, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals and cocktails. This time, we went for lunch (they closed early for dinner the night before due to bad weather, so we loved our reservation). We shared 3 small plates - the fresh bacon, Spanish shrimp, and Brussels sprouts. The bacon was thick, like pork belly, crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a tart slaw and sweet sauce. Light and delicious. The shrimp was a home run! Incredibly flavorful in a smoked paprika and sherry sauce, served with a crust bread soaked in the sauce. We savored every bite. The Brussels sprouts were less exciting - a bit soggy, with Parmesan being the dominant flavor. Overall, we were very happy with our visit - the waiter was great, the food came quickly, and the realstaurabt was lovely and peaceful, as we remembered it. More

Italian | Frederick, Maryland - DC Suburbs

Been driving by this restaurant for several weeks and decided to try it. Was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere. Menu was extensive and decidedly Italian. Difficult to order due to the wide array of Italian specialties. Took a chance on homemade ravaoli which was absolutely delicious. The waiter was very knowledgable and attentive. Was visited by the owner who was very nice and explained the varied menu items. We will definitely return. More
