From the moment we arrived, this place felt special. We waited in the lounge while our table was being prepared, and it was so comfortable and inviting that we happily grabbed drinks. The cocktails were amazing and the service was exceptional. Instead of a text, the manager personally came over to let us know our table was ready, sent our server to help us close out upstairs, and told us to take our time—then walked us down himself. That level of service really stood out. The dining room was stunning, with exposed brick and beautiful architectural details that made the space feel both elegan

We sat upstairs at the bar and were surprised at how lovely the ambiance was. The bartender was excellent. Outstanding service, delicious food, and even better cocktails. The prices are very fair. We were from out of town and pleasantly surprised at how yummy our food was! It was busy but we did not have to wait.

Excellent classy stop if you find yourself in downtown Frederick. They have a nice bar with tasty cocktails and topnotch entrees. I highly recommend this spot for nice night out on the town. Stop here for dinner first! Cheers!

Nice atmosphere. It is a little cramped, but not too noisy. The service was great and the food was very good. Crab dip was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The dirty cheesesteak was excellent. Get it with the hot peppers.
