Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in New Market

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!

Rachel, our server, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The crispy eggplant with lentils and labneh was delicious. My wife who dislikes eggplant loved the flavors. After dinner, I typically desire a port, however the manager recommended two desert wines as a pairing with the Brooklyn Blackout desert. The Banyuls and Santos Vinsanto were recommended. The first sweeter than the second, but the second was a better pairing from both my wife’s and my perspectives. Each brought flavors out of the desert as shared with us. While I do like port, I appreciate someone going outside the norm to try new things. Home run! I will try this again!

We had an amazing evening. The food was amazing. Thank you to Fernando, who made the night unforgettable. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. He anticipated our needs, made thoughtful recommendations, and added a personal touch that elevated the entire evening. It’s rare to find such genuine service these days, and Fernando truly made us feel at home. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and an even better experience.

Attentive staff, and knowledgeable about my dietary requirements. Good timing. You don't have to wait too long for your food, but they are also not that speedy that you feel rushed. Delicious food (we had the Honey thyme spatchcock chicken, and, Yankee pot roast).
