Late spring may not be high season in the Deep Creek Lake area but that doesn't mean that the area…read moreisn't beautiful. I've spent a bunch of time in the area in the other seasons but seeing it spring was new for me. So was lunch at Firewater. I enjoyed both. As you might think from the name, Firewater is all about the drinks. Not only do they look beautiful but they punch above their weight in a tourist mecca. My Baby Got Daq was so much better than one would imagine for a cocktail on tap. Served in a coupe, this traditional daiquiri was made with anjeo rum, which gave it a gorgeous brown color. The simple (traditional with a twist -- pineapple!) recipe (lime and sugar) allowed all the ingredients to sing and you would be hard-pressed to tell that it came from a tap, rather than a bartender's careful hand. Drink in hand, the food menu acquitted itself just as nicely. My large (Southern) party made short work of the deviled egg appetizer. Likewise, my brisket sandwich (on gluten-free bread and served with a side of grits) was filling, smoky (with a crunchy bark) and deeply-flavorful.My group took advantage of the nice weather and are outside, enjoying the lovely water views and pleasant service. With a population the size of a New England liberal arts college, odds are if you're patronizing Firewater you're not a local. That's fine. Tourist cities need tourist dollars. Spend yours here. While in Deep Creek, this will become a trusted lunch destination. I'm just surprised I 'discovered' it so late after multiple trips.

They were very accomedating for a party of 9 making a reservation the day of. Though it did take a little while for out food to come out, everyone really enjoyed their meals. I got the black truffle burger which was amazing, I wish I had asked for some more aoli on the side. Our waitress Hailee was so kind to take the time to split our checks and to split the meal of our bday friend onto all of our checks. Great place to go if you're starving after a long day of skiing!

This place has steadily gone down hill over the years. In spite of some small attempt at sound…read moreabatement it is still unbearingly loud. And if they have live music, forget it, your ears may bleed from the echos. Food used to fresh and well cooked but now, the quality has definitely dropped and obviously prepared by cooks who would rather be staring at their phones than paying attention to food prep. Sorry, cannot recommend. Stay away.
