    From appetizers to main to desert the food was tasty -- and nicely presented. We eseocially liked the hamachi and octupus appetizers. Our server was terrific; she rocked it! Would have liked a few more selctions of heavier red wines by the glass.

    Enjoyed brunch experience at this restaurant, but we were not overly impressed with the dishes themselves. For the premium the food was unbalanced taste wise for a high end service. EG breakfast tacos came with sweet and peppery sauce, but the eggs in the taco were so peppery they didn't complement each other, and also the texture of the bacon came off as bacon bits. My wife said the best thing about her omelet dish was the side salad. Other dishes were similar, but the cinnamon roll was top notch, mimosas were great and service and ambiance excellent, so I'd give this place another go, just maybe not for brunch.

    This was an anniversary brunch for us the greeter, various staff and servers all acknowledged our special day. Food was great! Our server Zach was outstanding and the rest of the staff very good as well. We even received some complimentary Prosecco. Would happily recommend to anyone and even though we don’t live in Frederick I hope we will return soon.

    I miss the beef carpaccio appetizer. The beef tartare was well prepared, but not outstanding. Entrees were all very good. The pork belly was amazing, but the vegetables were underwhelming. The desserts, the Black forest sundae and popcorn brûlée, were sublime. Our server was great! My only complaint is that we hadn’t yet gotten our first drinks when our appetizers arrived, even though they were ordered first, or at the same time. I don’t know if this was a delay by the bartender, or the server, but my wine should have come before our food. I do like the way the menu changes more frequently. Many of the new dishes have been great. I do wish a few of the original items had remained. I loved the option of being able to order the potato gratin as a side, as not all the entrees have an accompaniment other than veggies. I know the lobster whipped potatoes are popular, but not everyone wants seafood with their potatoes. The cocktails are perfect, as always. We love The Tasting Room, and happily supported it throughout the pandemic. Your take out packaging is by far the best in Frederick. We were able to re-create your plating at home for many special occasions when we were unable to dine in person. Nothing ruins a great meal more than finding it squashed and muddled in one big container, and The Tasting Room never did that. We were happy to still tip in full during that time, if it meant helping you stay afloat.

    I had high hopes for this place because of the many rave reviews I read. First, the server ordered the wrong dish for my friend then my Wagyu Flank steak was served well done. A new Steak was served but for all the hype, I will not be ordering again We were comped for a round of drinks and dessert but dinner experience was awful Very doubtful that I will be coming back

    It was my birthday and we came for brunch at 11 AM. Our server Jessica was amazing and had a radiant smile. I had gotten together with some girlfriends I had not seen in 6 months. 5 hours later we got up to leave. Not once were we asked to leave or felt rushed. Wonderful experience. The food and drinks were memorable and worth the trip.

    Excellent filet mignon, halibut was slightly overdone but still good. Both the wedge salad & greens salad were sizable & very tasty. Appetizers of crab dip & yellowfin tuna were good. Service was top notch & made the experience!
