The Tasting Room continues to be one of the best restaurants in downtown Frederick. Excellent service with a spectacular menu. Every dish is crafted with great care and skill to make each bite flavorful. Did we have to look up some of the components? Yes. But it was well worth taking a chance on a new ingredient. The menu allows for culinary adventures while still providing options to stay in your comfort zone. I ordered the Boar (not just featured in Game of Thrones) and was very glad I did. Drinks are top notch, just as flavorful as the meal featuring the best Espresso Martini you will ever have. Of course desserts were equally as outstanding with a phenomenal sticky toffee pudding. If are able to shell out some extra cash for a meal out, I cannot recommend Tasting Room enough.

I have visited The Tasking Room so many times, and it never disappoints. Their mocktails are truly the best.

Tasting Room Reviewer
Honestly, this should be a 1 star but my server was amazing. We ordered two filet mignons, $68 a pop. The only other steak on the menu is wagyu, but they were sold out. Happens.
The filet mignons, my god I would love to see how those things were cooked. The “sear” must have been 5 minutes on each side. My medium rare steak was brown on the top and the bottom with a raw center because if it was in the oven any longer this thing woulda been well done. My wife’s was the exact same. Her steak was medium so you can only imagine how much more this thing was cooked. Half the steak was well done.
Beef jerky mixed with raw sushi. Not my ideal spend of $140. Fries were good, but come on they are fries.
Obviously as a man who enjoys steak - I ate the entire thing in 5 minutes. But if you are going to charge $68 for one 10 oz steak at least get the temperature right or lower the price.

As always, the people were wonderful, the food was excellent, and the drinks and wine were great. This is an excellent neighborhood restaurant with a great vibe and a superb experience. Never disappoints!!

Amazing food. The place was packed but expected for a Saturday night. Not as intimate of a spot if that is what you're looking for (because of the noise and sound) but amazing food and creative menu.
David
Restaurant has a limited menu. Food quality and portion sizes (we had wagyu steak frites and sea bass) was not worth price. We did get a nice bottle of wine for half price!
Vitaliy
An amazing spot for special events, romantic evenings, and family dinners. Exceptional service and a truly high-end dining experience.
Dracie
Never disappointed. Delicious food and great service from Cynthia. It is like visiting a friend. She always takes the time to discuss new wines and menus items.
Highly recommended. Table service, waitress suggestions, food and drinks were excellent. The Tasting Room is one of our favorites in Frederick for special celebrations.

Absolutely fantastic experience at the Tasting Room in Frederick, MD. Our server, Mollie, was outstanding—truly next-level service. She struck the perfect balance between being warm, attentive, and conversational while still giving us space to relax and enjoy our meal.
We ordered the steak tartare, PEI mussels, and the tenderloin with frites, and every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. That said, the service somehow managed to outshine even the food, which says a lot. Mollie made the entire evening feel effortless and special.
If you’re on the fence about dining here, go—and hope you’re lucky enough to be served by Mollie. An easy 5/5 experience.

Everything from start to finish was fantastic. Cocktails were tasty. Wine selection was amazing & a nice size pour. Scallops were huge & the steak melted in your mouth. Staff was super friendly & helpful and even brought over glasses of rose since they felt our food took a little longer than expected. We ordered the coffee cheesecake for dessert and they also came out with the best homemade ice cream surprise with a candle in it for my birthday! Highly recommend for a special night out & make sure you have a reservation (there was a line out the door at 4pm before they opened!)
