                                                          We have been dining at Monocacy Crossing since it opened 25 years ago. Rich and Kelly have created a perfect, unpretentious restaurant for casual gourmet dining. It is our favorite restaurant in Frederick County and we have had many wonderful meals at Monocacy Crossing. The menu is filled with very creative, delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The wine selection is impressive. The wait staff is very welcoming and friendly. The parking lot is always full, so we recommend making reservations through Open Table. Thank you Rich and Kelly for everything you have done to make us feel welcome and well fed over the years. Happy 25th Anniversary in business!

                                                          There was a long hair in our crab cakes. It would have been nice to have the entire meal comped. The server was most apologetic about it. However she didn't offer and compensation besides a fresh new meal. I hate when there is a hair in the food.

                                                          Deep fried artichokes and popcorn shrimp for apps. Salmon with crispy kale and beef cheeks with parmesan polenta for entree’s, raspberry chocolate flourless cake for dessert. Everything was excellent. Drinks were perfect as usual. Service was by the ageless and attentive Becca. We’re perplexed why there’s no Michelin Stars. Monocacy Crossing has been one of the very best restaurants in the entire Washington DC area for over 25 years. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
