This place is so, so good and worth any amount of time it takes to get there. (I live an hour away.) Located next to the Carroll Creek walkway, this is the place to sit outside on a beautiful day. The inside is beautiful, too. Such a classy place! Two former college friends and I enjoyed a lunch that had wonderful service, fantastic food, and we can't wait to go back again! The staff was patient as there was no one waiting for a table and since my group had a lot of catching up to do, they were nice enough to encourage us to stay. (We would've left had there been people waiting.) The Wine Kitchen offers $16 lunch choices and all look good. Two of us had the wild mushroom strudel. OMG...we were talking about how good it was the rest of the day. The other friend had the steak salad and cleaned her plate. I tried a non-alcoholic Riesling and one friend had a flight of white wines. My Riesling was good with what I ate, but it wasn't a sweet Riesling which I prefer. Still, I wasn't disappointed. One friend got a scoop of the homemade pistachio ice cream and she said it was the best pistachio ice cream she's ever had. I would've loved the chocolate Opera Cake which sounded like a lovely and filling dessert, but I didn't so I plan on ordering it next time.

Our Anniversary dinner was great. They had a little card there for us which was a nice touch. We wanted that romantic ambiance but we just had a booth in a hallway that had no views or anything special. But if your going to business or want private convo it would suffice. The food was outstanding. Ribeye was full of flavor - loved the fancy salts to choose from, and the dessert was light and bright. My favorite dish ~ the Brussel sprouts! I will be trying to recreate these for sure. Such a perfectly executed dish. The cocktails were just okay (but that's just my personal taste). We'll be back because the service is impeccable and the food is divine.

Highly recommend! My fiance & I went on my birthday to try it out & so glad we did. Located conveniently in downtown Frederick with parking garage about a block away. It was a busy weekday evening & beautiful warm weather out, so we opted to sit outside on their patio by the creek, which was peaceful & scenic. We were seated right away where I was handed a birthday envelope with a sweet message from the staff & coupon for our next visit. I thought that was a lovely touch. Our servers, Mary & David, were outstanding! They offered wonderful suggestions, delivered exceptional customer service, were very knowledgeable, & friendly. We ordered the Venus's Flight and Sky full of Stars cocktails which were unique but good & well presented. We only ordered a few small plates since we were restaurant hopping. The deviled eggs, mac & cheese, and succotash were delicious! Excellent experience & looking forward to returning soon!

We rented the private dining area for a surprise proposal party and the entire staff at The Wine Kitchen was amazing beyond words! Emma Tilman was very responsive with planning all the details leading up to the event. The chef put together such an incredible menu to choose from. The staff the day of was ON TOP of everything! Not a single thing fell through the cracks. The service for a party of 30 people was really impressive! I could not have asked for better and I’m so appreciative to everyone who works there. 10/10 for everything! Food, drinks and set up was more than I expected.

Impeccable service, food and drink! Beautiful establishment, very clean, and our server Wayne was very friendly, patient (our first time there), and knowledgeable of the menu items. He didn’t check in too much or too less—he was amazing! Sorry for staying an hour past closing 😅—we loved the atmosphere and service and we will be back! Oh and they even have whiskey flights 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
