Celebrated my birthday with my husband. We had an excellent waiter. My husband loved the Turkish meatball appetizer, he thought his lamb entree was okay but definitely not at all as good as the filet which is what I ordered. It was cooked to perfection (as usual) and had a delicious buttery and garlicky flavor and stayed hot. We both enjoyed our desserts. I had the cheesecake and I loved it but wish it had been colder. Greg had the molton butter cake and said it was tasty. My only complaint is the overpricing of the wine.

As always the food and service was impeccable! However, with the increase in price of the filet, you would think a vegetable might come with it? Even 2-3 halved brussel sprouts would have been nice. Just saying…🤷🏼‍♂️

I expected that for the price, the food would be better. I wasn't impressed with my dish especially given the cost. We had a friendly server, however she should have come around more quickly to get us drinks, take our food order, bring the check, etc.

Valentine’s Day Dinner Restaurant didn’t do anything special to recognize Valentine’s Day. Surprisingly it wasn’t very busy or crowded. Not sure why other than it was a Tuesday night. The prices are the highest in Frederick for fine dining. $75 for a Filet, $60 NY Strip, $16 Lobster Chowder plus sides starting at $10 each. The food was good and hot. Dining room noise level low. My wife and I weren’t wowed with the whole experience for the price paid. Would have though a manager or assistant would go around and check to see how things were going. May be pricing themselves out of the market.

The pork cutlet was dry, mustard sauce overly horseradish y. The salmon salad was ordinary. The topping and arugula on the octopus didn’t really add anything and took away from the presentation. I have been to the Tasting Room before and had great food. Maybe just an off day.

We hadn't been back in a while but were so glad we did. Kristen guided us through the Lunch menu and we landed on the Burrata and Fried Artichoke to start. Delicious is an understatement 😋. Our cocktails were equally yummy. Blood Orange martini and Barrel Aged Old Granddad Manhattan. We had a few before proceeding with the Bacon Cheese Burger and Hanger Steak Wedge. Both were satisfying and filling but we did have room for the Molten Butter cake. It was amazing!! Tom helped us finish our lunch with a cappuccino and a black martini, we highly recommend it. Kristen and Tom were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made the afternoon special!
