“This is our second visit. We tried different entres on the menu this visit. All have been excellent. There is nothing boring on the menu. Everything is full of tasty surprises. The mango in the salad to radishes with the roasted potatoes. A wonderful way to support students while they hone their skills in this setting. No wonder reservations are hard to come by.“

“The service and food were very good and the price point was definitely worth it. I enjoyed my visit. I will point out that the atmosphere is that of a local pool spot so if you are in to the local dive bar feel then this is your spot. Our server was well versed on menu and drink items and the music selection is whatever everybody is feeling on the jukebox. I would go back and eat again.“

“The food was very delicious, and I suggest everybody get the philly cheese steak egg rolls.They were the amazing even for our very picky eater. Shake was really attentive and gave us enough space to let us people.We wanted and made some suggestions that turned out to be really spot one. Definitely.We'll go back to try some other items on the menu.“

“Randomly passed by and stopped in for lunch on a long road trip back home from Maryland…and so very glad we did! Truffle fries, fig and brie flatbread, and strawberry cheesecake French toast…all so good!!! This was literally one of the best meals we’ve had in as far back as we can remember. We are so sad you are over 7 hours away from us, but we hope lacrosse or work takes us somewhere near you again. We will definitely be back!“

“Drinks were awesome. service was great.“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“I used Zipani Cafe to cater a small brunch I had at a local hotel, and my experience with them was excellent from start to finish. I worked with Renee to pick a menu and she was so helpful in giving me advice on what to choose and how much to order. She was prompt in answering emails and the whole process was so easy. She and the owner of the cafe delivered the food right on time to the hotel, and the bagels were so fresh they were still warm. They set up the food and drinks on the tables that the hotel provided. The bagels were amazing, as were the pastries and muffins. The coffee was hot and fresh. I highly recommend Zipani Cafe if you need catering. I have never been to the actual cafe, but the next time I'm in Frederick I will definitely be visiting to get their bagels. They are as good as ones you can get in New York City.“

“Everything about Dempsey’s exceeds expectations. The menu and ingredients are incredibly thoughtful. Everything down to the seasoning is made in house. The desserts are to die for - special shout out to the cheesecakes. I tried strawberry, original and blueberry - all were fantastic but the blueberry has a special place in my heart. This is an outstanding family owned and ran business that supports diversity and inclusion. They have choices for everyone - comfort food, gluten free options, diabetic options, you name it. I will certainly be back and recommend to all. Good people, good food.“

“Great find! Outdoor accommodation for our dog. Friendly staff! Thanks Val! Delicious steak n cheese and hot chicken sandwich! Beer is cold and hit the spot from hours of hiking. We will be back with friends soon!“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our wedding at Maryland National Golf Club. The venue perfectly combines rustic charm with timeless elegance, and our photos truly capture the beauty of this hidden gem. Reghan went above and beyond to handle every detail flawlessly, and the staff were both fun and professional. I’d choose to get married here a thousand times over!“

“We found this place while visiting in the area and looking for something nice. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was nothing short of amazing.“

“Came in Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy. Someone that works there let us know they would be right with us. We were sat. Lisa was our server. Everything was great! Food was good and came out in timely manner. Will definitely return.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Went had dinner the other evening.My bartender nadine was amazing well, I am I waited for my girlfriend. She was friendly and very informative. Steven was also an exceptional server. Put me and my friend at ease. Hegave informative opinions and was such a joy. I will definitely be returning!“

“The food is delicious, and everything is fresh. It is the perfect place to stop after visiting the C & O Trail, or any other excuse you can find. I highly recommend Big Belly’s.“

“Outstanding food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Best crab cakes in Frederick. If you haven't been, you are missing out.“

“Alyssa B from Cellar Door is the most gorgeous, engaging, compassionate, dedicated, and perceptive waitress in downtown Frederick. She is surrounded by an exceptional team (Amber, Simone, and Kelly) that shares those admirable traits, making them some of the finest waitstaff in the area.

Without question, Cellar Door is the best in downtown Frederick.“

“As four guests visiting for the first time, we all thought the food was great. Service was slow to order a beer and desert was almost cancelled because of time and the glazing did not arrive with one of the deserts and getting a side cup never arrived. The waitress was new and very helpful and will get better with experience. The only disappointment was their Military Discount? They only allow 10% for "active" Military making one feel that veterans just don't qualify? And the 10% you receive is only on the members main meal. So for a $60.61 meal the discount was $1.49? I give the discount I receive back to the wait staff and left a $15.00 tip.“

“My husband and I eat here every Tuesday after getting groceries. The people are friendly and the food is awesome.Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely fantastic food. The entire meal was an experience and one that I will not forget. Chef Jason personally checks in with every table throughout the dinner service.“

“My husband & I had lunch here today. He had cream of crab & said it was delicious . I had the sub club , best club sandwich ever. Meat was fresh & bread was warm. No more expensive than any where else.“

“Always have to stop in for a chicken gyro when I'm in town! The best tzatziki ever!!! Great family run business!“

“Best sushi in Frederick. I truthfully go twice a week at minimum for lunch“

“An amazing private club they have just about anything you want to do from karaoke to pool to darts even gambling machines. Food is amazing and the prices are good. Bartenders are great. Jess is amazing and on top of everything. Put my hands together for Paul for keeping such an amazing place. They have pool leagues on Mondays Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays and Friday nights so come join us on the APA. There's only one downfall and that's the parking. During the weekday evenings it's very hard to find a parking place close to the establishment because of the new fitness club. But other than that it's a great place to go with a great atmosphere come join us.“

“Thank you for the multiple trays of delicious subs for our party!! They were a big hit!“

“I love this place! Highly recommended.“

“Great place to go in downtown Frederick. The atmosphere was great. No wait to be seated. Our server Brandi’s was fantastic and very attentive. Her recommendations for our food and beverages were perfect. Loved the crab dip. I highly recommend this place.“

“What a great find. I was at the bar, it was a quiet night but from the food there was great, same thing for the restaurant has to be great too. Almost all plates are made on the property and so tasty. The desserts were great too. We'll be back when we are in the area in April.“

“We had a great experience here - there was an issue with one of the steaks and the manager Francisco was incredible. He was super courteous and professional, and even got on the grill and remade it himself. We’ll absolutely be coming back.“

“I got a gyro and Greek salad. They make the best gyro in town!! The salad was terrific. And the little honey/walnut cookies and almond powdered sugar cookies are going to be my newest obsession. Go there!“
