    Yum! So delicious.. we both had the French onion soup and it was amazing. I had the salmon my husband had the chicken. We were both blown away! Everything was fantastic. The drinks were also really delicious and the service was excellent. So glad we decided to stop in while visiting nearby.

    Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and spinach with a side of potatoes

    We had an enjoyable time for their Mother's Day brunch. We were seated outside and it was an adorable area. I had the Fennel & Frisée which had a delicious orange vinaigrette, however overall this was too bitter for my taste. Their eggs Benedict was delicious with the poached eggs being cooked perfectly! They had a twist with smoked salmon and spinach that heightened the dish. Dessert was a London Fog cake with a super sweet and light lavender Swiss meringue. We had tasty Bloody Mary drinks and good service.

    There are no 5 star restaurants in Shepherdstown, best as I can tell. But if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable setting with excellent service and properly prepared (if not spectacular) food, with maybe a nice cocktail or bottle of wine, then this is definitely the place.

    French dip sandwich
    Hayward L.

    Loved the ambience in this historic French bistro, they have an incredible garden patio. The food is excellent, I had the French dip sandwich and could have drunk the entire bowl of sauce, it was that good! They have a delicious brunch menu as well, definitely consider getting the biscuits. Portions aren't the largest but I will be coming back for sure.

    Petit Filet Au Poivre

    After a long day of exploring Antietam and being drizzled on at Harper's Ferry we were looking for a nicely prepared meal. We were a walk in party of 2 on a Saturday and were seated right away. Although Bistro 112 doesn't seem like a 'fancy' restaurant we were probably a little under dressed and looking a little rough, but no one seemed to mind. Service was nicely timed and very friendly. I got the filet and my husband got the steak frites. Both were cooked as ordered and delicious. We split the seasonal cheesecake which was a maple bourbon and that was delicious and unexpectedly light, not dense and heavy like I was expecting. Will definitely come back if we're in the area in the future.

    Excellent choice this afternoon for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit outside. We didn't know what to expect as this was our first time dining here. We walked to through the front of the restaurant and outside. What a very peaceful and relaxing view. We sat in the garden are and had a very delicious lunch. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. We were able to enjoy food from the Spring Menu. Look forward to trying more delicious menu options here.

    They offer an economical 3 course meal prior to the catf shows. We enjoyed the gazpacho soup which is zesty and a great choice for this hot summer day. Then I had chicken with a side salad that was seasoned well and cooked perfectly to keep it moist. My wife went with beaded flounder, potato salad and lettuce salad that was equally well done. My dessert was flourless chocolate cake and she got strawberry shortcake. Both great finishes to the meal. Very reasonably priced so an excellent meal at the right price. Put them on your list the next time you dine in Shephardstown.

    Stopped in for brunch. Located in an old building, you dine in various small rooms on several floors. Nicely decorated. Tables are very close together- a fact that will prevent me from coming back for dinner as I hate crowded seating The person at the front door was less than welcoming. Our Server was pleasant, though overall service was slow. Overall, food was just ok, given the atmosphere, I had higher expectations - Home fries were incredibly salty, and very crisp. Poach egg was close to hard boiled, english muffin very tough to cut, french toast was barely coated with egg, and the jam biscuit was surprisingly tiny. What we ate: Eggs Benedict with hone fries French toast Jam biscuit Mimosa My rating rationale  +1 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +.5 Value

    Smoked Gouda burger
    Kristina T.

    Bistro 112, what looks to once be a home, is presently a charming French restaurant in historic downtown Shepherdstown. My sister and I went here for lunch after visiting Antietam. We had the soup du jour, which was a butternut squash soup, and the smoked gouda burger. The soup was great for a cold winter day, and the burger was tasty. It was an affordable light meal. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance and setting made us feel like we were dining in someone's living room. Overall, it was an enjoyable lunch.

    Cranberry Creme Brulee that was out of this world.

    The food was delicious. Service was superb. Brianna was attentive to all our needs. She suggested the cranberry creme brulee for dessert. It was fantastic.

    Exquisite food and presentation, top notch service, and comfortable ambiance meeting the high…read morestandard of experienced expected - blah, blah, blah blah.......nothing new to add that others have already described. It has a well-deserved top notch reputation. Given the restaurant likely seeks opportunities for improvement, the following details are offered..... 1) Hard seats, though padded, became uncomfortable over time. By the end of our two - hour seating, we were more than eager to get up and go. An unnecessary distraction. We'll bring our own set cushion next time. 2) Water glasses smelled off. It's not the water as the odor remained in glasses used for bottled water. Based on experience, we guessed a dirty dishwasher was to blame. 3) A pesky fly was with us the entire meal. Perhaps it was more than one fly, yet it was surprising for indoor seating. A minor distraction, but surprising. We'll be back.

    I won't tell you how many decades we have enjoyed eating at Chez Francois…read more It is delicious and elegant a meal as you will enjoy in Norther Virginia. The Brasserie, though less formal, is equally as fine and equally as tasty. Plus, you have the option of sitting outside either on the patio or in the inside/outside covered area.  Wherever you sit, you will be happy and very well fed.  The evening we dined, we tried to hold back from eating too much of the super yummy garlic toast and cottage cheese that is always brought to the table at the start of your meal.  It is super good and so tempting to keep on munching but there is so much other good food on the way.  The Caesar salad is crisp and the portion is big enough to share if you are guarding room for the amazing grand marnier souffle which you order at the start of you repas to savor at the end.  My favorite entrée is always the bouillabaisse.  The broth is so amazing and it is filled with seafood. Another favorite is the duck (confit de canard) that is a special on Sunday. Again, save some space for the souffle which is served tableside and worth every calorie.

    When it comes to eating out, I enjoy food, atmosphere, and the local community…read more I was worried from other reviews that I would spend hours upon hours waiting for food. For me, I intentionally spaced out my 3 courses and drinks and it took about 1.5hours. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the owner who exuded pride in his restaurant and the work put into renovations. I walked in late on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. The restaurant wasn't busy per se. I was truly torn about what I wanted for dinner. The owner spent time explaining the local connections, how things are prepared fresh (not from a bottle), the cocktails are consistent from night to night. How many times does a waiter or waitress take times to help you decide what to get. I started with the "empanadas" with lump crab meat crema. They were delicious beyond a doubt. I would say they looked and crunched like a fried won ton. There were four in an order. I should have got two with filet mignon and two with crab. That was my only disappointment for the evening. I followed with a Caesar salad and lump crab meat. (I was on a seafood kick). As the owner stated there wasn't Old Bay in the crab meat, which made it taste more original and fresh. Shocking! With the crab meat spread around and throughout the giant salad, I never noticed the minced anchovies. The salad was too huge for one person and is best shared! While my entree was being prepared, I would slowly pick crab meat pieces and enjoy their freshness. During my appetizer and salad, I went with the French 75. The sole waitress and duel bartender offered the fig infused gin. The fig notes were overpowered by the fresh squeezed lemon. I cannot remember a drink having fresh squeezed lemon bits in there. It was a bit distracting on the first sips, but mellowed out. I followed my French 75 with a side car. Without a sugar rim, that was a mightily delicious cocktail. It paired well with my entree and was a good sipping drink, which lasted throughout my entree. When I looked at the menu online, I was sure my entree would be the swordfish loin. Because I normally don't have restaurants that serve it. At the beginning, the owner had really explained why their scallops were amazing, including the bacon wrapped scallop appetizer (I probably would have gone to heaven if I got those). I was torn. The owner, his wife, and the waitress all instantly suggested the scallops entree when I asked what I should get. They were right! I got the spinach with the scallops instead of the grits, since those would have been a bit heavy for me to eat so late. The scallops, 4 of them, came perfectly seared/lightly browned surrounding the sautéd spinach in the middle. All were sitting in a thin layer of a white creamy sauce, which I honestly cannot describe. Other than I wish I had the recipe to make at home. The scallops cut like butter, had the right amount of seared crunch, and tasted fresh. Like the owner had caught them in the morning from the ocean. Many scallops that I have gotten have some "grit" in them. These were the size and thickness. So much that I didn't care there was only 4! Now the spinach was beyond good, it was "everything". Who really likes, cooked spinach, other than Popeye? Too many times it is soggy, bland, or slimy. As a kid, I disliked spinach, unless it was uncooked and in a salad. They got the spinach just right, like Goldilocks. Not too soggy, not too crunchy. And it had just enough sauce to not overpower or be overpowered. I skipped dessert because I was stuffed beyond capacity. Same thing with an after dinner drink. But they offered the gamut of those drinks, which probably would make me dislike Starbucks for a long time. On my way out, I was again greeted by the owner. He extolled the history, uniqueness, and things to do in Frederick. Maybe because it wasn't busy, or maybe he truly takes pride in his town, the building, the food, and restaurant? Probably both. I walked out wishing that my wife and kids could come, but I was alone on a business trip. They would have digged the place. I assume the meats, the pastas, and other seafood would have been top notch. And deserving of a 'French kiss'! As an aside, I can understand why other patrons may have a slower experience than ideal. With limited waitstaff comes longer time between interactions. Watching from the bar, I could see the waitress always moving. Making drinks, busing tables, taking orders, fixing orders, doing payments, etc. Would one more waitstaff be warranted, I don't know. It was a slow night though.

The restaurant is charming and soothing with well-spaced tables and old school music tinkling in the background. Service was relaxed and friendly. The food outstanding. We started with crab bisque, French onion soup, and charcuterie board. The bisque was creamy and delicately flavored (no Old Bay!). The French onion soup was beautifully rendered - beefy broth full of onions, served with a toasted baguette slice covered in cheese. The charcuterie board was generous, with a nice selection of cheese and meat, grapes, plus wonderfully toasted baguette slices. The only criticism is the pistachios were under seasoned. Entrees didn't disappoint. The veal Francaise was as soft as butter, with a lovely white wine sauce. The accompanying pasta with caramelized onion was amazing - sweet and savory onions coating thin spaghetti. Two of us got the rack of lamb. Wow. Perfectly cooked to medium rare with a wonderful, peppery crust. The au gratin potatoes were creamy and unctuous. Our granddaughter got the fettuccine Alfredo and was very happy. We didn't try any of their cocktails; the restaurant has an extensive wine list and two of tried one of their Bordeaux which was excellent. During dinner one of the owners came by our table to refill water and ask about our meal. He was quite charming, and very proud of his restaurant and inn. Several of the reviews of the restaurant cited slow service. We waited a long time for our drinks (my husband had to flag down our server), but after that the food came out at a good pace. We were too full to try dessert. Overall, a lovely evening in our new favorite restaurant in downtown Frederick.
