Best Cozy Restaurants in Dickerson

Wye Oak Tavern offers an unforgettable dining experience, blending history with incredible food and top-tier service. Housed in what was once the church of a Catholic girls' boarding school, the restaurant maintains its historic charm, with the former altar now serving as a beautifully repurposed bar. The atmosphere is both grand and inviting, making it a truly special place to dine. The service was outstanding from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was just as impressive. We both ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. To accompany it, we shared mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. Every dish was executed flawlessly, with rich flavors and perfect textures that made for an exceptional meal. Wye Oak Tavern delivers on every level—ambiance, service, and cuisine. I would absolutely go back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

Delicious and very accommodating to food allergies.

We went for Sunday brunch and had an assortment of breakfast and lunch items among our party of four. As a group of adults in our mid-50's to mid-70's, we could hear the hum of the other diners but could still easily talk to and hear each other. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The value for money is over the top -- honestly, I'm not sure how they make a living for the prices they charge as compared to what we see other restaurants charge in the area for lower quality or fast-dining experiences.

Overall, the restaurant was fantastic. The recommendation came from Open Table based on restaurants we had visited previously. The food was very good. I especially loved the Shrimp & Grits. The cocktails we had were also very good. The restaurant decor was rustic and very well done and enjoyable. The ambiance was very good; it just started to get a bit loud when the restaurant started playing background music towards the end of our dinner around 7:30. Dessert was also very good. I would highly recommend Vintage and we will definitely be going back. There way a lot of dishes on the menu that I want to try!

Service was fantastic. Menu had a good selection for Valentine’s Day. All the food was great, but the “lump” crab in my seafood pasta dish was definitely not lump. I mean, sure, it says lump on the can that holds the pasteurized crab meat from another country, but it wasn’t the same lump crab used to make my wife’s crab cake order. Again, service was awesome and everything else was very good.
