“I have been involved with the restaurant business for the last fifty-seven years of my life. So, you can imagine that I have experienced and worked in many different types of food operations. At its best, a good restaurant should be a combination of tasty food, attentive service and pleasant surroundings. I have seen all types of combinations, and their lack, in my long career, but very few times -very few- have I been in a restaurant that, due to its ambiance, design, food, service and curated music, has transported me to other places and times. That is the kind of experience that I usually go through when visiting Up on Market, the very pleasant restaurant bistro on Market St. in Frederick MD Last time I was there, I was perusing my phone and, for unknown reasons, went straight to Manet's painting "A bar at the Folies Bergere". And that was the mood in the space: relaxed, sophisticated without pretensions, replete with modern style but evocative of the beauty of the past. If on top of that you add that the place is owned by a hands-on married couple, one as host, the other as chef, both of them restaurateurs extraordinaire, you have a formula that can't fail. Follow my advice and have a meal there. You will find that the food is of a high level, the service is unhurried and pleasant, the esthetics of the place are a masterpiece and the human warmth is all over the property. I hope that you will feel transported to fabled locations and better times. Exactly what happens to my wife and myself. It is pretty possible.”
