We ate at the Monocacy Crossing tonight and we were seated by the wood burning stove which was a problem. I felt as though I was going to burst into flames. My husband switched seats with me and then it became his problem and he later asked for another table. We were reluctantly changed to another table, (sigh). I don't... More

I was so pleased to learn that my husband had secured reservations at Monocacy Crossing. We tried to go last year but could not get it. I was not disappointed. I love the atmosphere and cozy ambiance. The location is peaceful and quiet. The service was outstanding! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. I have to... More

This is probably the best restaurant within fifty miles. Dishes are creative and exquisitely prepared. American with a slight cajun twist. Prices are moderate, and they always have a great wine list. Try their wine dinners. Food and wines paired to perfection. Had my wife's 60th birthday party there and it was outstanding. Everyone raved. And most of them have... More

This restaurant is in a place I would have never even looked. Both the food and service are excellent. It has many outstanding items on the menu and a better than average wine list. More

We read the rankings that this was one of the top three restaurants in the area and after 12 years of living 30 minutes away, we hadn't even heard of the restaurant! We decided to drop in early one Saturday evening - early early, like 5 p.m. - and we still had the last available table in the bar next... More

I had searched for leading restaurants before visiting Frederick and found this at the top of someones list. It lived up to the description and delivered wonderful food at reasonable prices. We were blown away by artichoke heart-filled beignet appetizers, the lamb, fried chicken, and shrimp and duck etouffee. The service was friendly and efficient without hurrying. All in all,... More

We telephoned ahead and also e-mailed that one person had a garlic allergy. Yes, they had a marked menu available on arrival, but it was not helpful. The seafood seems to be the best bet. Seafood jambalaya was a winner. Good selection of salads. Appetizers are nice, particularly the crab balls. Deserts good, especially the crème caramel and the chocolate... More

Trusting trip advisors' reviews, my boyfriend and I went with my aunt and uncle to dinner at the Monocacy crossing tonight and had a great time. The atmosphere is a bit dated, but I like that about the place. Drinks were excellent and the beef medallions were so tasty. I would absolutely go back to this restaurant. Other excellent dinners:...

I visited Monocacy Crossing for a work function and was blown away by the food. Great, simple entrees with amazing appetizers. If I recall correctly I had prime rib wrapped in bacon and all sorts of appetizers and they were all awesome. If you are looking for a place a bit out of the way and not a super chain... More
