Restaurants near Monocacy Natural Resources Area

One of the best restaurants in Frederick - food never misses and we love the rotating menu options. Also, the bar menu is so perfectly curated and the drinks are made just right. It always feels welcoming and the staff is so friendly. Thank you!

Oh my oh my! Wye Oak Tavern is beyond incredible. The setting is spectacular with the former church altar, statuary and organ pipes along with 30 foot high ceilings I’d guess? Josh, Cody and the bar staff craft incredible cocktails and create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. As for the food and service. Impeccable. Period. We had steak tartare, cheese ravioli, an 18 oz gorgeous ribeye with duck fat fries and brussels!…and pear bread pudding for dessert. Stephanie was great fun while never missing a beat during service and Steve and his wine suggestions were close to perfect. By the way their wine list is an incredible value of some stellar wines at good prices and they managed to curate the list without need of 40 pages. Thank you. Everything you need without a bunch of excess to search through. We will be back soon and grateful we live only an hour away. Oh and the Visitation Hotel is lovely and we enjoyed staying the night. Nice to have a great place in walkable Frederick!

Food was excellent. Three course pricing for Valentine’s Day was unexpected and was a very good value. Difficult to get a reservation even though there were lots of tables open when we arrived. When we arrived we were taken to the log cabin section, requiring a walk outside in the cold. While we didn’t mind, calling that out for those who might or have mobility issues. I do wish we would’ve had the option to choose the cabin or the main dining area, but we weren’t at booking. The little bathroom in the cabin is convenient but definitely needs a remodel. I’m being picky with those details and they were easily overlooked with the excellent, local, quality food and great service by Tony H.

Friendly staff, amazing food and flavors, live music, great price and beautiful view! Absolutely loved the miso salmon!

Excellent experience as always. Our server Samya was just ahamazing.. She was on top of everything. Dishes were yum. Was not too fond of the fish we tried. Rest everything was delish. We said we will be sharing the main course and she actually got our food divided into half so we could each have our own plate. I mean you just can’t go wrong with this place. Ty for such delish food and hiring such amazing servers.
