    French press coffee
    Vanessa K.

    My friend and I arrived around 1pm on Sunday for lunch. We didn't have a reservation but were seated away. They were on their brunch menu. We ordered a (French press) coffee and we split the Burrata Toast to start. And because we weren't in the mood for "breakfast" food we both ordered the Wagyu Burger. The first French press coffee we received was full of grounds so we had to send it back for another one once we were able to get assistance (our server was nowhere to be found). My friend ordered her burger with a salad but it came with fries but they fixed it pretty quickly. The food was really good. The service was okay.

    Book themed cocktail menu
    Sarah H.

    Wow! This place blew us away! From the cozy booths to the menu, everything feels very curated and elevated. I absolutely loved the wine list (and that you can get flights), and a special shout out to the book-themed cocktail menu. That made my inner English teacher veryyy happy. It was so hard to choose! We ended up getting 2 glasses of red (a Pinot Nero and a Syrah, both excellent.) For dinner, our group tried the sourdough, the short rib, the flatbread and the burger with beef fat fries--all were great! The servers and food runners were sooo knowledgeable and did a fantastic job of providing recommendations, and explaining the foods/wines. An amazing must-try spot, my new fav in Frederick!

    Brined chicken sandwich

    They are located with a view of Carrol Creek. This time of year you can enjoy the blooms. Our first dish was a mushroom strudel with a side salad. It took a long time to get our simple order. Despite the slow service, the meal was too good to give less than a 5. Both dishes had generous sized salads with fresh inviting ingredients. The mushroom strudel popped with earthiness. The chicken was tender and played well with the cheese and bacon. I've been coming to Frederick for a long time, but only just discovered this place. And it was long overdue.

    24 Hour Braised 12 oz. Short Rib for 2
    Ryan V.

    Stopped in for dinner without a reservation. The hostess was very friendly and gave several options for seating. They have quite a bit of outdoor seating and indoor options. The service was outstanding and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered the braised short rib for two and ordered some sourdough bread while waiting for our entree. The bread was amazing and came with some butter and some type of homemade ham. The bread was so warm and soft on the inside and crunch on the outside. We were able to converse while eating the bread and sampling the wine under the lighted stars ceiling (I swear I saw a shooting star in the lights). The entree came with plenty of food and included a gravy on top of the beef, Yukon mashed potatoes, and green beans. The food was seasoned perfectly and the mashed potatoes were SO good with the beef. They weee buttery and had enough salt to where I didn't need to add any. They also have a pretty large dessert menu to include homemade ice cream and sorbet! If you're in Frederick you have to check this place out.

    Wagyu Burger with beef fat fries
    Courtney E.

    I really liked this restaurant, but my dining experience was a tiny bit abnormal. My first impression when walking in was, "wow, it smells weird in here." I can't explain the smell, just that it was stale and didn't seem to come from the food. Perhaps it was the building itself, but with having a sensitive nose the smell affected my enjoyment of the food. I ordered the wagyu burger and beef fat fries as my entree and the sweet potato cheesecake for dessert. The wagyu burger was big and hard to eat - not just because the burger itself was tall, but a lot of liquid leaked out of the burger with every bite and was quite messy for my hands and the plate. Otherwise, the burger was good. I enjoyed the beef fat fries. They were crispy and soft and perfectly seasoned. The sweet potato cheesecake isn't my typical go-to, but I decided to try something new. I'm not a fan of cranberries and they were a bit too sweet for me, but the rest of the dessert was perfect - sweet, savory, creamy, crunchy and soft! The service was above par. Typically, at restaurants the only waiter to engage with me (aside from "Welcome/Bye") is the one waiting my table. I talked to several waiters and staff here and they were genuinely friendly. Even better, I got to watch the boats on the creek light up before dinner. It was a great experience (aside from the smell).

    Great spot in downtown fredrick! The location was a tad hard to find for a tourist in the area but I eventually found it after going through the elevators across the library parking structure. There was some miscommunication about the drink specials as the drinks on the bill at the end of the night did not reflect the prices on the menu. Aside of that, the food and ambiance was great. The beef fat fries were yummy but you couldnt tell the difference between the beef fat and regular fries tbh. My table split the salad, which was plenty and an entree essentially. I got the duck confit and that was cooked beautifully. Crispy skin and tender meat. Yum! Great place for a date night or something more upscale.

    Great food and service! Our waiter recommended some tasty items and drinks! It was very nice atmosphere as well. The only tricky thing to me was getting off the elevator to find it.

    One of the best restaurants in the region. Consistently great food, superior service and an amazing wine list. Recommend their Beef Program. Try any cut from Roseda Farms for perfectly cooked grass fed local beef. Brussel sprouts or the mac & cheese are the way to go for sides. For appetizers the maple-glazed pork belly with blue corn grits is something special. For dessert the Chocolate "Smith Island " Cake is next level good for chocolate lovers! Logistics: Parking garage around the corner.

    Burger & fries  (well seasoned, maybe a tad less salt)
    Engrish T.

    Day trip to Frederick. Nice location next to the creek. Good sized outdoor seating. Food was tasty. Very good burger and fries. Originally ordered salad as my side but the fries looked so good. Glad I switched. The mushroom streudel is an inventive dish. The mushroom filling is "meaty"

    BURRATA fennel & vanilla onion jam, tamarind caramel, Satsuma orange, toasted focaccia
    Annie L.

    We came for a celebratory brunch on a snowy Sunday and were treated to a wonderful dining experience from top to bottom! The service from front of house staff to waitstaff was exceptional--warm, welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere lends itself well for a cozy, intimate, quiet environment for one on one and group conversation alike. The cocktail menu was inventive, the wine and beer selection impressive. The burgers received 5 stars from the meat eaters at the table. As the vegetarian at the table, I enjoyed the $27 two-course deal, ordering the Burrata and Mushroom Hash. The Burrata was beautifully plated and screamed creativity with the paired flavors and components, elevating beyond the usual tomato/balsamic pairing. The focaccia was fresh with just the right level of crunch, and the perfect vehicle for enjoying each texturally complex and flavorful bite. The Mushroom Hash (I sub'd egg whites) was similarly bold in flavor. A touch over salted for my taste but not overwhelmingly so. It also would have benefit from a bit more of the underlying sauce to provide a bit more cohesion to the dish. Terrific first impression, Wine Kitchen team, and looking forward to our next visit!

    Gone Girl - a lovely gin cocktail with pear brandy, lemon and sage
    Tania G.

    I celebrated my birthday today at The Wine Kitchen in downtown Frederick and it was fantastic! We didn't have reservations, so we were seated at the bar while waiting for our table. Our party of four sampled a wine flight, a delicious cocktail called the "Gone Girl," and two local beers. Everything was excellent. We had barely taken a few sips before our table was ready. We were seated by the window, which was perfect because the natural light made the space feel bright and inviting. The service was stellar and the restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. We had four different staff members taking care of us, the hostess, bartender, our server, and manager who kept the table spotless by clearing plates and refreshing silverware between courses. We started with the dill pickle hummus, which was a vibrant green hummus infused with fresh dill pickle flavor and chickpeas, served with a generous helping of fried falafel balls. It was unique and absolutely delicious. For entrees, our group had a great mix. The mushroom strudel came with a lovely side salad and was buttery, warm, earthy, and full of flavor. Two diners chose the smash burgers with beef tallow fries, which were a big hit. A big standout was the KBBBQ riblet with fries, a substantial boneless BBQ rib slab that got rave reviews. The Wine Kitchen definitely has it going on. Great food, great drinks, and outstanding service. A perfect spot for a celebration!

    Do you all still offer outdoor seating?

    It did when I was last there.

    Do they have happy hour?

    We have happy hour from 3pm - 6pm Tuesday through Friday. Wonderful food and drink specials in the bar and lounge area.

    I heard a rumor wine kitchen is closing. Any truth to this?

    Might be one of the other locations but I will ask. The Frederick location is always busy so I think it might be hard to believe. I looked at the website and it only lists 2 now.… 

    When do they start the dinner menu?

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.

Stopped into True Standard Distilling during the Frederick St. Patty's Day bar crawl and the place was absolutely buzzing all day. As a rum distillery, everything on the cocktail menu leans rum which makes things interesting, especially when they remix classics that usually feature other spirits. I tried their take on a negroni and it was surprisingly really well done. It kept that familiar bitter and balanced profile but with a unique rum twist that made it stand out. The interior was unexpected but in a good way. They were still fully committed to a Valentine's Day theme with pink everywhere and a massive faux chocolate candy wall right when you walk in. It honestly felt like stepping into a mini Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, which added a fun and memorable touch. Despite the crowd, service was quick and efficient. The bartenders clearly knew what they were doing and kept drinks moving without sacrificing quality. Overall, this is a great, high-energy stop if you're spending the day drinking your way around Frederick. Definitely worth popping into, especially if you want something a little different from the usual beer spots.

We wanted a memorable place to mark the occasion and chose Showroom. I even noted both celebrations when making our reservation a week in advance. The hostess was friendly and kind, although clearer direction on where to wait would have helped. The front entrance was congested, and we felt like we were in everyone's way. Unfortunately, the service never matched the occasion. Our server never introduced themselves or acknowledged either celebration. They began taking orders without any engagement, and throughout the meal we were repeatedly unable to get their attention. I understand Sunday brunch is busy, but I work in a concierge-driven environment and was genuinely disappointed by the lack of hospitality. The food was mixed. The chicken and waffles and the omelet were good. My husband's steak was cold and the portion was very small. He ordered French fries but received unseasoned potatoes that lacked any flavor. My fish and chips were fine but also lacked seasoning, lemon, or any attention to detail. I specifically requested fries without Old Bay but received fries heavily coated in it. We also ordered a steak and eggs meal to go, which took about 30 minutes. When it was opened later, it contained only three small slices of steak. My brother-in-law genuinely thought he had been given someone's leftovers because the portion was so disappointing. My husband quietly paid the $300 bill while I still hoped someone might acknowledge the birthday or retirement with a simple mention, smile, or thank you. It never happened. We were never even offered a desert menu. We left without a goodbye or any acknowledgment from the staff. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how we felt. We had many options in Frederick but chose Showroom because we expected a special experience. I could tell my family didn't want to complain because I had spoken so highly of the restaurant, but they were equally underwhelmed. Please do better.
