Restaurants near James Finley House

Place has been open for 6 months; one of the best dinners we've enjoyed in Frederick. Very good service; drinks were a bit overpriced, but good. Food portions were great. Parking was not to be had; we parked on the street and had a bit of a walk to enter. We were not seated in the main room, but rather off to the side where it was quieter. we will definitely return.

The best meal we have had in awhile. Beautiful, historic setting, excellent host and service. If you are in the Gettysburg area, do not miss this experience. We loved it.

Lucy was our server. She is tops. We wish that we could get her on every visit. Brandon, the manager, was heavily involved in our dining visit and the quality of the meal, and total dining experience was splendid.

We were in town for a softball tournament the weekend of my husband’s birthday, looking for a nice higher end restaurant. We found it! The food was amazing. We started with French onion soup, crab bisque, and a charcuterie board. The French onion was presented beautifully and was equally delicious. The crab bisque was different than what I was expecting as a Marylander but it was very good. The charcuterie board had a great mix of meats and cheeses. For dinner we had rack of lamb with the veg of the day (Brussel sprouts) the prime rib for two, served with 4 sides! And kids Alfredo. The lamb was top notch! Beautifully plated and tasted amazing. The prime rib was so moist and cooked to perfection. Our youngest loved her pasta, it was “the best sauce ever!” I can not say anything bad about The Orchard. Our service, the ambience, and most importantly the food. You know it’s a good meal when you wake up the next morning and think “wow that was a great meal last night!”

Great evening 75th birthday
