Restaurants near Watkins Park

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The manager (Ariel) even gave us a tour of the building which was so nice. We were really curious about the building: it was constructed in 1793 with lots of the old features still in place.

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!

Four of us ate here before theater at Olney. Our server made sure that the food came out in a timely manner. Our group shared 2 orders of the roasted oysters. Amazing! We also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and beet salad, and appreciated that 3 of the pastas came in half portions. Looking forward to a return visit!

Atmosphere & service very nice, have been there several times, never disappointed

I was pleasantly surprised. It's not often you stumble on a nice strip mall restaurant. Our waitress (Morgan) was perfect. The food was good and the bonus was we were there ow=n a night they had live entertainment! Will certainly be back!
