    Wye Creek has become a favorite spot! The food is inventive and delicious. The service is top notch and the ambience, while in a grand and ethereal space, is warm and inviting. Great for both a casual nite out or a special occasion. I’ve recommended it to both local friends and visitors.. a wonderful addition to Frederick!

    Just wanted to say how amazing our experience was this past Saturday. We arrived around 9:45pm, and even though it was near closing, we never felt rushed. Our server, Mary (I believe that was her name), was truly exceptional— so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel completely welcomed and really elevated the entire evening. Thanks again for such thoughtful hospitality!

    We had an 8:30 PM dinner reservation with friends. We arrived early and had drinks at the bar. We decided to have dinner at the bar and it was perfect. The bar staff was outstanding. Our bartender was managing a lot and she was friendly, attentive and lovely. She said she’s been there for 3 months - although she operated like a veteran. Thank you!!

    I was expecting....I guess I don't know what I was expecting. I made a reservation for my 17 year anniversary to check out the newest Voltaggio restaurant..and it was great! Very busy...very LOUD. But this was expected based on the reviews. The food was amazing. The service was great. I will definitely go again. Thanks for a wonderful meal and memory!

    We went for our anniversary. The service was friendly and professional, even laughed at my jokes. We had the Smoked Beet Pastrami, Savory Parmesan Cheesecake, the Smoked Pork Loin and the Rigatoni. All were wonderful. The standouts were the cherry tomatoes with the Cheesecake (just a punch of amazing flavor) and the BBQ caramel pork loin. Their cocktails are also fun.

    Everything was lovely. Can’t wait to go back. We sat upstairs because reviews said downstairs was loud, but would be interested to try downstairs next time.

    Our party of three old friends really enjoyed everything about our experience at the Wye Oak Tavern. The restaurant is in a beautiful old church building. The architectural details have been preserved and the transformation to a restaurant is fantastic. Our on small criticism would be that the chairs were not the most comfortable for us. They are a bit deep for shorter people and do not provide enough back support for our elderly bodies. Our waitress was fantastic. She was welcoming, informative, and attentive. She also had a great smile and a sense of humor! The food was very good. We all had seafood that was beautifully and creatively prepared. The swordfish piccata was moist and tender as was the salmon. Also, the cocktails were delightful. Try the Ladybug!
