“Excellent Service, Nice Presentation, Food Over Priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Monococy Crossing was a great spot for a lady's birthday celebration. The server was very attentive and the table was set up as requested. The food looks good, but is just average in taste. Desserts are unimaginitive and lackluster. This is a quaint, out of the way place that definitely subsidizes the lack of traffic with above average pricing. They automatically add a 20% tip even for smaller parties. The service deserves it, but patrons don't notice and tip another 20.

“do no tmiss this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

The food here is incredible!! I like almost everything on the menu. The staff is great. Kelly and Rich are very nice people and treat you like friends. Do not miss going to this place. It is not in downtown Frederick but definitely worth the short drive.

“Country Elegance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

You might drive past this restaurant thinking it is a locals bar but don't. It is casually elegant with a wide range of menu items and excellent, friendly service. There were four of us.

We started off with the assorted cheese platter with pate which was plentiful enough for four to enjoy. Cocktails were generous portions as well.

For dinner, I had the Shrimp with Lobster Infused Grits - Wow. Prepared differently than S&G's I have had in the past but right at the top of the best I ever had. Others in our party had Mahi Mahi, Pork and Beef dishes. All were absolutely pleased with their meals.

The service was outstanding as well. Two servers take care of your needs.

Make sure you bring your wallet. Entrees were in the 20s to 34 but portions were plentiful and veggies included.

“Nice hidden gem in Frederick”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

We went for lunch after receiving great feedback from friends and couldn't have had a better experience! We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious, the waitress recommended the lentil soup and crab cake sandwich, they were also outstanding, service was great and overall we enjoyed our little date very much.
A little pricey but totally worth it, can't wait to try it for dinner!
