                                                      It was pretty good. I didn’t like my salad or scallops. Scallops were an odd recipe. Everyone else loved their steak. The was great but it took a while for our entrees to come out. It was pretty good. We’ll go back. They need to change up their menu.

                                                      The octopus was exceptional: grilled crispy, yet moist and tender on the inside. The combination with harissa and salty nuts was superb. Haloomi also very good. Mains: scallops with corn, a fun surprise; filet, nicely prepared.

                                                      Dinner. It used to be fantastic. Now, not so much. We did a couples date night .Everyone’s meal was salty as hell ,over salted to the point where you had to stop eating it. Flat iron steak - half medium the other half well done , how? and over salted. Scallops were like eating salt blocks, absolutely the worst and inedible. Filet for 60$ over cooked. Gnocchi were very big and tasteless and again salted to hell. Drinks/martini very sweet sub-par. Value here is unacceptable. Bad meal all around. The Outback does better meat for christ sakes. Wake up chefs!

                                                      what a wonderful evening at the Tasting Room. We were a group of 8 visiting Frederick and were given this restaurant as a great place to have dinner. It did not disappoint. Service was fantastic! Food was delicious and well presented. We felt like we had a private table . The evening could not have been better. Great friends, Great food and a great restaurant!
