The restaurant has only been open for two weeks but the service would make you think the restaurant is a well oiled machine that has been running for years. Great service, food, and cocktails, and its place in the renovated former church provides a very cool atmosphere for a meal.

Unique ambience, good service. Enjoyed the cocktails very much. Unfortunately $90 dry aged shell steak was tough. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either. Other food was decent, but our satisfaction relative to price just wasn't there compared to other Frederick experiences like Tasting Room or even Hooch and Banter. Realize this restaurant just opened, and probably still working some things out…so hopefully the food improves to the level of the cocktails we had—which were quite good.

We enjoyed our visit here. Started with the SURRYANO HAM app. I ordered the TAVERN BURGER with a side of SPICED SWEET POTATOES. My wife ordered SHELLS & CHEESE. Everything was well prepared and tasted good. The ambience was nice as well.

Food was good but not great. Chicken came undercooked, mac and cheese had little flavor. Black truffle raviolis, beef tartare, and grass fed sirlon were excellent. The noise level from the bar was overwhelming as we had to almost scream to hear everyone at the table. Overall, there is room for improvement but we will be back to try again soon!

It was beautiful inside, the staff is still working out kinks. I got salmon was cooked well but very very smoky in flavor, I was unable to eat it. We also had two prime ribs and a pot roast that were very good. Wine selection was great! Two desserts! They were both amazing!

All in all a very fine experience. Some items are a little pricey, but we knew that going in. Worst part was trying to get our car back from valet parking. That whole thing needs some help. We'll go back

Beautiful restaurant and, overall, and excellent experience. We loved the fried chicken liver and crabcake appetizers. The prime rib was also great as was the broccolini and mac & cheese roast chicken was good but a bit too salty. Service needs some work – we were greeted and told to have a seat, but there were no seats available and nobody invited us to the bar. They then lost our reservation, which I had to then find on my phone. We seated without menus, and we’re never offered any bread.
