Such a gem and overall great dinning experience just 15 minutes from Frederick! Their food and staff are just amazing truly. We forgot to make a reservation (suggest making one) but they managed to squeeze us in. It’s a family run charming cottage restaurant. Their food presentation is esthetically beautiful. You will leave happy and full! We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed their live music. Emma was our waitress, she was the BEST!! She made us laugh and also was super knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Most importantly you have to leave room for Emma’s Grandmas coconut pound cake for dessert; it’s nothing like you ever tasted I promise you that. It’s so good that the recipe is secretive in their family!

Went to a birthday party here.. Wasn't what I expected.. I've been in the area 50 yrs. this was my first visit. Service was great our server did a wonderful job and all went well birthday party was a success! Food was good everything came in on time. (we had a party or 14.. ) I will recommend to all & we will be returning.. I see this as one of Frederick's hidden gems the vibe felt very local.. Not to mention if you didn't know where it was located it probably wouldn't bleep your radar. I say this because as best as I can remember I've never seen a commercial or advertisement for this restaurant... So to me that means they are doing something right!.. Keep up the good work. 2 Thumbs up to Jessica she did a wonderful job.. & kept a smile through it all!!...

Excellent food and service. Extensive wine and cocktail menu, limited beer selection. We sampled a plethora of items on the menu, the tuna, Thai chicken bites, jalapeño & cheddar pretzel bites, buffalo blue cheese empanada. I also had a steak salad and my partner had the pork carnitas. I love a good tasting menu, and this was it. Highly recommend the steak salad, wish the pecans were a tad bit more candied. At the time they had live music and outdoor patio seating. We had great conversation with the server, although she was a bit in the weeds she provided excellent service.

We decided to go out for brunch after doing a 5K and showed up with no reservations. Was seated quickly and found it to be a charming location. I know this building has been many different restaurants over the years but this has to be the best. Our server was great, she has personality, and was just very enjoyable. Our meals and drinks came out quickly and so very good. The meals are fresh made and not just sitting around, my poached eggs were the best I have had in years from a restaurant, real house made corn beef hash was very flavorful and hit the spot. My wife said the quiche was over the top good, and her Cream Brule was some of the best she ever had. We will be adding this into our rotation of bruch spots.

An absolute great experience on 01/19. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Our server Josie was fantastic! Josie spoke nicely about the chef and the quality of the produce used in the cooking. The food was great as usual.i will definitely visit again and recommend it to my friends. I believe in supporting the local businesses.
