This is the second time that I have dined in your restaurant for my wife's birthday. On both occasions, we found our experience to be exceptional. We live approximately four hours away and the trip was worth it just for the short ribs alone! Anna, our server, was especially attentive! I cannot overstate just how professional she was. There is an old axiom when it comes to restaurants...come for the food, return for the service. Your restaurant has both! I have recommended and would continue to recommend your restaurant to family and friends alike! Thank you for an exceptional dining experience!

This is my third time dining at Thatcher and Rye, and once again the experience was fantastic. The service is perfect - our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. The food at Thatcher and Rye is amazing - we started with the Seafood Tower - such a special treat. Our party of 6 ordered a wide variety of entrees - from hamburger to short ribs to Halibut. Each dish was delicious. Best of all, the prices at Thatcher and Rye are reasonable, especially given the high quality of the food and service. I can't wait to go there again!

Loved this restaurant in Fredrick. Sincerely wish it were in DC. Great space and great staff, but for us it still is about the food. The burrata appetizer was a true revelation with items in the dish we have never experienced with burrata, but made it fabulous. The orecchiette with the mushroom ragu was equally great. Our more breakfast oriented item of biscuits, gravy and fried chicken was excellent but just not as unique as the other two. However if I had just ordered that I would have been thrilled. Will find a reason to make the hour trip back up to Fredrick soon.

Overall Thatcher & Rye does not disappoint. Superb cocktails, delicious food, and excellent service. I must note a HUGE disappointment: My family and I were there to celebrate a major birthday. Three of the six of us are gluten-free, which I noted when I made the reservation. I also asked that gluten-free dessert options be offered especially given it was a birthday celebration. Altho the reservations were made well in advance, there was only one gluten-free offering--pumpkin cheesecake. Two of the gluten-free diners do not enjoy pumpkin, so they asked for a scoop of ice cream. The carmel ice cream was delicious but the serving was so small they fit the dessert spoon provided. Furthermore, there was no indication anyone was aware it was a birthday celebration; why then ask when reservations are made? I expect (and have experienced) far more from high end restaurants. We ate and drank well, spending over $700.00; yet these little details made the experience not quite as great as it could and should have been.

This was our first time eating in this restaurant. We were seated at a table in the bar area, so I can only describe what we experienced there. The noise level was surprisingly fine for our proximity to the small bar. We were able to look out a large window to the street. Three of us ate there. We ordered two first courses (oysters & brussel sprouts), three main courses (steak, pork, & short ribs), cornbread for the table, & three desserts (pumpkin cheesecake, toffee cake, & hazelnut mousse), and several drinks. Oysters & brussel sprouts were fine. We asked for the steak rare, & it came out as ordered. The pork was enjoyed, but the short ribs were very fatty. They were very tender & the flavor was good, but they were not worth the high price. They forgot to bring our cornbread, even after a reminder, but they deleted the price from the bill and sent us home with it anyway. Just a mistake, as we all experience from time to time. The toffee cake was served warm & was probably our favorite dessert. The bill was near $400. It was a nice experience, but a little disappointing for the money.

We were visiting Fredrick and stumbled upon T&R. It was a great dinner. They had a 5 course tasting menu. It looked great, but we sat at the bar and shared some plates. Everything was top notch from the drinks to the meals. Definitely a sure hit dinner spot!

My out of town relatives always request to come here. It’s left quite the impression. The Parker rolls are amazing with smoked trout and the Halibut was literally mouth watering. Everything we’ve ordered has been delicious. Will be back soon!

I was so excited to finally make the 1hr 30min drive to fully experience Chef Voltaggio's menu. I was not disappointed at all. It was definitely worth it . The table spoke elegance. The server knowledgeable & very attentive, making note of my food allergy. He even came out with a birthday candle on dessert for my sweetie. Awesome experience!! I can't wait to be able to go again.

Thacher and Rye is our favorite restaurant. It should have a Michelin star!! The food and service are outstanding! The restaurant manager, Caitlin, is a class act! She makes our dining experiences - especially on special occasions like birthdays - outstanding. And our waiter, Steven, is remarkable. Not only is he friendly and engaging and knowledgeable, but his recommended wine pairings with the food are outstanding!! We highly recommend Bryan Voltaggio’s Thacher and Rye!

The waiter spilled a glass of water on my wife 5 minutes into the meal and didn’t seem very sorry. The cornbread wasn’t cooked in the middle and had no flavor. The food was just ok, and it was overpriced, we wouldn’t go back.

Really sad that they took the full sized burger off their menu. Now that it is two thinner patties, you cannot order them medium rare. Shashouka was underwhelming. Fries, biscuits and gravy and fried chicken were awesome. Great service and ambience.

The autumn ravioli was life-changingly good. Excellent service, fantastic food, a super cool building. Expensive for my budget but in a way that felt like the food was completely worth it. Order the ravioli.

We were a party of five celebrating the birthday of one of us. We had a variety of entrees (pork loin, hamburger, chicken, salmon) and everyone really enjoyed what they ate. We shared a shellfish tower, the fall greens salad, and the orechiette with mushroom bolognese, and those were great too. Wine and cocktails also. Service was efficient without being overbearing -- Jared was great! This is a higher-end restaurant but provides value for the money spent.

We went to Thatcher & Rye for the first time to celebrate a special occasion. Overall, we enjoyed it a lot and would go back. As we had hoped, the food was a cut above the restaurants that we go to regularly. We would say it's upscale, but not pretentious, which is just how we like it.

The tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairings really matches the food. The server was knowledgeable and friendly. Only complaint is the background music was a bit too loud. I feel If restaurants play music it should be unobtrusive, without words.

Servers were wonderful but the food was unusually slow compared to other visits here. And it was so noisy that conversation between our group of 7 was impossible.

Not much to write home about. Which is disappointing considering the prices on the menu and fame of the brothers on Food Network. My honest opinion, the waiter had a chip on his shoulder which was the ultimate mood killer for us. Considering the tip he knew he was getting - I expected more than grunts and side eye throughout the night. Also, My lasagna was burnt, and 0 for 2 birthdays were acknowledged, despite noting on reservation and several other waiters executing for their tables. Not at all what we hoped for.

We have company coming in for the holidays. And will be back. We were nibbling all over the place between oysters and chop salad and omelettes and cheeseburgers and macaroni cheese and skillet coffee cake and martinis. Naturally eyeing the adjacent tables. we will be adding the seafood tower and short ribs and scallops. Everything was delicious!!! Anna delightful.

Worth every penny. Quality over quantity on each course. Not to imply that the courses were small. We certainly had plenty eat. We both enjoyed the smoked trout spread that came with the Parker house rolls the best; but, were absolutely not disappointed with anything that we ordered. T & R offers a wonderful selection including some mainstays for the less adventurous diner. The bartender and staff deserve nods as well. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary brunch. p.s. loved the background music too.

I go to Thacher and Rye often, but the last two times, I was disappointed. I did not find parking space in their lot. Moreover, I was unaware of the Maryland restaurant week, and I found myself in an overcrowded noisy restaurant. The food was not the same high quality, Burrata was no more then a soft cheese. I went back the week after to find that the hamburger is now made with two thin patty, which were overcook and the meat did not have any taste. Salad was great. Can we go back to the same standard as before summer
