12 Best Places to Eat and Drink in Frederick, Maryland | Eater DC

"Monocacy Crossing has been serving Frederick since 2000 with its self-described smart casual, yacht-flair dining (and cooking) style. The charming restaurant is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of Frederick’s downtown district, and is instead an ideal setting for a quieter, longer meal. Start with some house-cured smoke salmon served over latkes and dill creme fraiche, and follow it up with the guajillo-braised beef cheeks served with a Parmesan polenta cake, or for the vegetarians, a wild mushroom, mustard green, and blue cheese tart." - Lulu Chang
