About

Monocacy Crossing ... mention the name to anyone in the area, and they'll give you an enthusiastic two-thumbs-up. Applauded GAYOT.COM, "When a young Culinary Institute of America-trained chef sets himself up in a converted farmhouse in the Maryland countryside---and pays really close attention to such details as good napkins, a worthy wine list, and house-curing his own salmon---you know you are awaiting a special treat. And special everything is here, from the crusty, just-baked sourdough to the warm caramel sauce drizzled over apples. Even in the deepest of Maryland farm country, it seems, folks can find downtown-quality fare at remarkably reasonable prices." And the review concluded, "Come once, and you'll come often ... assuming you live in the Maryland countryside." However, even if you don't, this gem is well worth the trip. Serving LUNCH, DINNER and SUNDAY BRUNCH, the chef/owner has created an inventive menu that revolves around locally-sourced seasonal ingredients and innovative flavor combinations. To start, the Whiskey Duck Nachos with Black Bean and Corn Salsa are a must, but the Artichoke Beignets with Feta and Pesto are equally deelish. Then it's on to an entrée of Braised Lamb Shank, Crispy Eggplant Napoleon, Low Country BBQ Shrimp with Lobster Cheese Grits, or Filet Mignon topped with Crispy Truffle Potatoes. In summary, perhaps this ZAGAT SURVEY critic put it best, "A gem nestled away in Frederick, regularly great food for a moderate price. Not overstated, just done well." 'Nuff said!
