The Tasting Room

Gas up the car folks because this restaurant/wine bar is totally worth the drive up to Frederick, Md. – about an hour outside of the district. You won't be able to decide which is better – the amazing New American fare or the selection off the drink menu. Check out their seasonal entrees for head directly to their classic dishes like Colorado lamb rack and Seymour Stern's crab cakes. Check out their wine flights with different selections of whites and reds. The venue underwent a renovation in early 2015 and reorganized the space to make it feel much more open so head north and check it out.
