Everything is amazing…read more There are many options of Maryland Rye, Bourbon, and seasonal cocktails, and much more. their slogan is Ward of ordinary and that is exactly what they do. The cocktails are tasty and our price perfectly. It's nice to be able to find a good distillery that offers decent price beverages. At this time they don't serve any food however, right next-door is Maxwell's and because of its location, they're plenty of other location to stop by. My favorite cocktail was the seasonal mule stopping in this holiday seasoning. Get yourself one it's very tasty. This place decor was great point and the service was amazing love the ambience in the expose brick mixed in with a few chandeliers and oversize chairs for a photo ops.

This was my first visit, and the classic décor immediately set the tone for a charming experience. The venue is small enough that every seat feels close to the stage. From the mezzanine, we had an excellent view and clear sound. The sold-out matinee of The Nutcracker was wonderfully performed and well choreographed, especially impressive in a more intimate space. Seats were comfortable, though legroom is a bit tight--but manageable for a two-hour show with intermission. A side exit conveniently connects to a nearby parking garage, which was a nice surprise. I'd happily return for future performances and gladly spend more time exploring the downtown area.

I'd say the food is a bit overpriced but I think their sweet potato fries are very good and seasoned and their herby ranch they give on the side is very amazing. I got their beyond burger which was a good burger, nothing crazy but I really enjoyed it. Everyone who works there is so sweet too, each time I've came in someone always answers my questions. I'd say it's not that good of a place to get work done as it's always decently packed and since it's small a bit loud at times.

I ordered the smoked hash and shoutout to my waitress cause I asked for three changes to the ingredients and she was happy to do so! It was yummy, maybe could use a little more seasoning, but I really liked the incorporation of the sweet potatoes. I also ordered an iced banana foster latte. It was a really good coffee, you can taste the notes of brown butter in it! Again, want to shout out my waitress. She gave the best energy. I parked in one of the downtown lots and it was only three dollars! Would return to try other menu items.

I don't like when we order more than that we can eat. When I think the worlds other part that people can find a food:( Ambience was also good.

Located very centrally to downtown Frederick there is street parking as well as a garage right behind. The interior is cute, it really does look like a cellar with stone and wood accents. The menu had some appetizing looking choices. The salmon was very good and so was the risotto. The brisket nachos were also tasty. My mother enjoyed the French dip. Service was fast and attentive! Would come here again.

You go down the steps into a basement (hence the name) to get inside, plenty of free street parking right outside. Loved the cozy intimate atmosphere which makes it easy to meet folks.

Didn't get to try the food yet but sure will sometime, heard it was good. Cocktail menu was decent. Just know on show nights they close the kitchen a little earlier. Will deff be back!

We had planned on going to Avery's upstairs for crabs…read more Since there was an hour wait we went downstairs to Monkey La La's for a drink and discovered you can still get the full Avery's menu. We sat right away. We had amazing crabs and the hush puppies were also very good. Last but not least the service was incredible. Our server Ben was attentive and personable, which is appreciated. Pricing was as expected for crabs. Atmosphere is more a bar than restaurant so probably not for young kids, but you know that going in. Still a friendly place and will definitely be going back.

Hands down the best place I know to get crabs, and I'll tell you exactly why…read more First, the size. They don't advertise it, but the crabs in their all you can eat are big. These are the biggest crabs I've seen anywhere at a price this reasonable. That's the whole equation right there. Which brings me to the drive. I know it sounds backwards to head inland for crabs, and yes, when you've got friends visiting and you point the car away from the water, it takes some explaining. But compare it to a place like Bethesda Crab House, where you're paying for the real estate as much as the crabs. I would rather drive forty five minutes into the country and eat better crabs for less. Those of us in 20854 make this trip constantly, and this place gets talked about in country club circles all the time for exactly that reason: outstanding crabs, unbeatable deal. It's in the same category of open secret as the lobster specials at H Mart at $12.99 a pound, sometimes down to $9.99. Everybody in the know knows. The snow crab is the other reason. It picks clean, juicy, and not too salty. It comes apart fast. No wrangling with rubbery, bendy legs. And you can get it in the all you can eat too. The place feels like a biker bar. Nothing fancy about it, but that's exactly the room you want to be in when you're eating crabs and drinking beer. It also beats Mays, the other spot people mention around there. I've eaten at both. Mays has tiny little crabs. Avery's has some big ones. Not close. And if you're bringing people who don't do seafood, the rest of the menu holds up. The ribs and everything alongside them are outstanding. I've come here with folks who were just along for the ride and watched them go to town. I tried it myself and it was legitimately that good. Last thing: Wednesdays, the all you can eat blue crabs go on sale. Plan around it if you're price conscious.

Alas, this could be a 4 star -- except they would need to increase the quality of several dishes…read more As a 3star seafood place close to town -- it is a bit pricey but not expensive, just average quality, loud, and so-so service. Not great, not terrible -- average. For me, sitting at the bar is better than at a table: better service and conversation with others. Same food, average seafood with typical sides. If the food was a notch better: I'd come more than once a year. I find Mays, Liberty Seafood and Avery's roughly the same, with Mays having the edge over the others (quieter too). For just crabs: order takeaway from Westpointe. For bulking up on food: Avery's. I actually enjoy eating at Avery's -- but it could be so much better if they improved the sides and service. Still, I do come once a year -- contrasted to: I visit several other restaurants at least twice a month ...and get better quality seafood dishes (at a marginally higher price). Just saying...

Wine Kitchen on the Creek in Frederick is everything a date night restaurant should be,and then…read moresome. We sat outside along Carroll Creek on a perfect evening and honestly the setting alone is worth the visit. But the food is what will bring you back. The pressed watermelon, feta and pistachio salad with vanilla onion jam was a nightly special and was outstanding... one of those dishes that sounds unexpected but every element makes complete sense together. The dill pickle hummus was a standout starter as well. The pork belly and grits is a classic on their menu for a reason... rich, perfectly executed, and totally delivers on the hype. The duck breast and filet with foie gras butter were both exceptional mains... the kind of dishes that remind you why you go out to eat. Do not overlook the sides. The potato salad especially is criminally underrated. The Short Shorties mini cocktail flight was a fun and delicious way to start the evening... a Negroni, Manhattan and Martini all in miniature form. Honest and knowledgeable hospitality from Kat, outstanding seasonal food, and a creek-side patio that makes the whole experience feel special. This one is a must for Frederick.
