    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!

    My 1st intro was the hostess. I was running a bit late. I called to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. Hostess was most gracious. Upon arrival hostess offered me a table & asked if it was ok. I requested another table. The cleaned the table immediately & Sat me. Our waiter's name was Gee, however there was another server that assisted, Leonel pronounced Lay-o-nel. Both young men were very accommodating, friendly, & knowledgeable about the menu. They were absolutely WONDERFUL!! I was extremely impressed with the food & drink. I'll definitely be going back!!!
