    A staple in the area, I had my concerns after the management changed, but the Commus inn continues to deliver, great dinner and brunch menus as well as a nice bier garden to enjoy in the summer! Service is always spot on and friendly, with great atmosphere, presentation. The only critique is the food served at the bier garden. The quality of it does not match that of the food served in the dining room, which is a shame.

    First time visiting although I have driven past it many times. We went for brunch and arrived 15 min before opening. It is a part of the Civil War Trail so we went over to read a bit of history. We went in when the waiter put the Open flag up. The Inn is historical and very well kept. I love old buildings and the use of space is perfect. We ordered the crab pretzel and it was our first time having it. It contained lump crab meat and the pretzel was PERFECT!! Delicious and certainly a starter I would get again . For brunch we had shrimp n grits, and the pancakes with Irish knockers. Both were DELICIOUS!! The portion size was perfect! All fresh food. Because I can I ordered the Irish coffee and I loved it!! I will come back and as a matter of fact we are considering this as a sight for the family celebration. You will not be disappointed!

    Come for a good time, not a yummy time - at least at the spot downstairs. Super cute and incredibly Instaworthy, unfortunately not the same experience that I had upstairs years ago with the last owners. Tacos fell apart at the first bite. Seriously, EVERY SINGLE ONE. They're super small too and if they're that thin, you guys should seriously consider using a second taco shell to catch the fixins. The duck popcorn tastes like regular popcorn (which wasn't that much for the price) and my family complained that the chips seemed stale. Small amount of guac for the extra $2. Basically, for the three tacos, a drink, and the popcorn + tip $60. Plus, they're not even table servicing you. The real value you get is for the dog friendly space & beautiful views. Perhaps the upstairs area is still really good food wise but the downstairs area did not live up to my 5* review & memory from years ago.

We came here to celebrate a personal milestone and we did it at the last moment. Luckily, there was a table for it. We did not know what to expect, but some menu items had a nice twist to the dish. However, one dish was by far the best: the deviled eggs. The sauce and the prep was just amazing. It is not a lot of food and it is $20, but we both thought it was worth it to come back to eat it again. The other dishes we ordered were good, but the most memorable was the deviled eggs. I liked how they had a leaderboard for frequent customers though. That was cool to just stare at. The location has parking on the rocks and it was full by 6 pm on a Thursday. There is outside seating and limited inside seating. The bar area looked fairly busy because it was happy hour time. Its an old timey restaurant with a more mature setting that made us think of places like eating on Kent Island or Annapolis or St. Michaels. It is a hidden gem here - especially where it was located. We did notice that there was a dominant demographic dining here. We felt a bit out of place, but don't care, the deviled eggs were too good.

While the garlic sauce was generous and delicious, the quality of the mussels themselves was disappointing. They were all open, but they had that "off" taste associated with older seafood. * The Main: Things turned around completely with the pork tenderloin. It was cooked perfectly and paired with a very flavorful sauce. Highly recommended! * The Dessert: Finished with the coconut cake. It was incredibly moist--perhaps a touch too sweet for my personal preference, but tasty enough that I'd definitely order it again. Overall, a great find with just a minor hiccup on the seafood. We'll be back!

Since the closing of Volt, and even The Ordinary Hen (Both being Voltaggio restaurants like this one), Frederick has been in desperate need of a upper-market restaurant. So, Enter... Wye Oak Tavern. You can't beat the interior decor and ambiance. I mean, you just can't. It's elegant, modern, and each section of the restaurant offers a different atmosphere for your choosing - darker and gothic, or, in the back, brighter and more modern. The service was fantastic, as you would expect. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and they didn't make any fuss when I asked to change tables. The food overall was very good. - Beef Fat Fries: Very very good - The Steak Tartare was also good. I think it needed a bit more flavor - maybe more mustard or capers. - Caesar's Salad was so good, and those sesame churros were fantastic. - Oysters were good. - Ribeye steak was good. For what you're paying I expected something closer to a steakhouse quality cut and cook, but it was still good. And I liked the Yorkshire pudding. - Gnocchi, Asparagus, and Creamed Spinach were all good. - Rockfish was smaller than I thought it would be, but also good - The Prime Rib was also very good. I think it could have been helped by a little more flavorful au jus on the side. We really appreciated the Laguiole steak knives they gave us. They're not like those terrible dull bulky knives you get from even high-end steak houses. Overall a very pleasant dinner. Not sure it's worth the price tag, but there aren't a lot of options nearby for nicer restaurants - besides the Tasting Room.

The creamy sauce on top of the rice made every bite feel fulfilling. The added microgreens added a freshness and crunch to the meal. The menu is expertly chosen and the meals are balanced and flavorful, and they vary often. Their website is not always up to date and depends on what is in season. My only gripe is that the portions are small for the price, but it's worth it!
