This was our first visit to The Tasting Room and we were not disappointed! Everything was excellent from the quality of the food to the excellent service we received. Food portions were "just right" and our server was very attentative, we didn't have to ask for a thing! This is a white table cloth restaurant with moderately high prices, but is also casual in that you don't have to wear a suit to dinner and we even saw some visiting cowboys doned in their hats enjoying dinner! We highly recommend this restaurant when in Frederick City and now that it is the holidays, the city is most beautiful at night with all the festive lights!

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!
