    Complimentary bread with 3 different butters.
    Mark P.

    Great ambience, perfect for a family gathering or a date night. Food is also very good but prices can be quite high as seafood and beef prices have gotten expensive. Coming by here due to positive reviews and the need for an early dinner after the half-way point of a long drive, I ordered their French onion soup and their chicken parmigiana with fettuccine pasta. Both were excellent and the chicken parmigiana was a large size. It also came with twice-baked potato and a Caesar side salad as well as complimentary bread. All of good quality. I unfortunately couldn't finish it all but I made a good attempt. Overall, a quality place for a night out, but prices are high for seafood and beef. Chicken is more reasonable on the wallet and the food quality is still good.

    Bread and butter and cinnamon butter
    Thomas T.

    The creamy crab dip was the best dip of any kind I've ever had. It was so creamy and flavorful. The crab had a sweetness to it. The cheese on top added a good sharpness to the sweet flavor. The bread with cinnamon butter was really good too. If you want the lobster you have to order Dutchs seafood platter instead of the regular seafood platter. That's a mistake I made. The seafood platter was disappointing for the price point. Paid $72 and the shrimp was ok, good size tho. The crab cake was average. Get tartar sauce for it. The imperial crab was really good tho. That said the dish. The service was really good. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Did feel a lil rushed at the end tho. The restaurant seems like a home and feels very cozy.

    Filllet Oscar
    Joe Y.

    Everything was amazing...food, service, ambiance. The food was so good. I had the Fillet Oscar as my entree as well as tried a few different appetizers.... Oysters, crab dip, and the bread with honey butter. I could eat just a loaf of that bread! The fillet was cooked perfectly and topped with a bunch of crab. We ended with four different desserts, but the peach cobbler stole the show. There wasn't anything uniquely special about it, but it was perfect...not too sweet, peaches cooked perfectly, so good.

    Went for lunch on Saturday with two friends. Dutch's has two dining rooms, a formal and casual. We chose the casual and we're not disappointed. The Dungeon is a really comfortable bar and dining area located downstairs. Our server was personable and attentive. The menu had great selections, something for everyone and we were happy with our choices. Near the completion of our meal, we asked our server if she could take our picture. We told her that we had served in Vietnam together and we had not been together since 1969. She took our picture and then informed us that our check would be taken care of by the house. We were shocked. Actually, for all three of us, no one had ever done that for us. With the ambiance, food, service and that sort of respect and kindness, Dutch's Daughter cannot be beat.

    Prime rib, Mac n cheese, crab eggs
    Rachel S.

    Husband and I came here, for the first time, on a Sunday for their brunch. We also ordered two mimosas. Balance came out to approximately to $100 (including tip). What's hot - Quality. Delicious. Everything that we tried was a good flavor and not overly seasoned. This included their prime rib, chicken, eggs (with and without crab), crab soup, potatoes, rolls, and desserts. Their prime rib is nicely seasoned, especially at the ends, and not too salty. Their eggs are soft and tender. Their soup is a nice consistency and has plenty of ingredients (I.e., it's not just liquid broth). Their desserts, particularly their bread pudding, is soft and tender, and not too sweet, which we appreciated. - Menu. Very good variety. There appears to be something for everyone, possibly even vegans. For example, they have a salad buffet as part of their brunch, and vegetable pasta. I really like the selection of seafood (primarily crab) as part of their buffet brunch. - Layout. They have an elevator to accommodate customers who need physical assistance. Inside appears to be pretty spacious with a high ceiling. My husband and I really appreciate that sound does not travel easily and we can have a conversation between us. - Service. Reservations are encouraged, which they explain on their website. As such, I called ahead for a reservation. I originally did not leave a time for my reservation, when I left my message. As such, they called me to confirm what time I would like. They also called me the night before, to confirm my reservation. The day we arrived went very smoothly. Their staff appear to all work very well together, are well-coordinated, and work very smoothly. Anything we asked for was provided in literally a couple of minutes. We were not left waiting. As another example, my husband asked their staffer, who was in charge of their prime rib carvery, if he could get a couple of slices that are more well done. Their staffer obliged nicely, had a couple slices sent to the kitchen to be grilled a little extra, and brought us the slices with their horseradish cream. Whenever a table was finished, I saw the table cleaned very soon afterwards and set up again. During the time we were there, I rarely saw an empty table just sitting there with dishes and food. I'm definitely impressed with their service. - Parking. There is a decent size parking lot in front, which is helpful. - Price. Price to value ratio for their weekend brunch is excellent. Drinks include tea, coffee, sodas, and juice. Mimosas are only an extra $1. What's not - Quality. Some of their foods were not very warm and you could taste the lack of freshness, like their buns, garlic bread, and a few other dishes. That appears to be the tradeoff for a buffet. - Price. Their regular menu appears pretty pricey. For example, their buffet brunch, which includes prime rib, is approximately $43. A prime rib dinner alone is approximately $70. - Location. This is an hour drive for us, so it's inconvenient. If we return, it would be for their brunch only, because of the price to value ratio. Final Answer Would be willing to return for brunch.

    Cream of crab soup. Lovely soup and lots of crab.
    Jin S.

    The food was very good. We got a gift card for Christmas so we decided to use it today. The server was pretty attentive. Our drinks were always filled and our courses came out in a timely fashion. I love the ambiance inside and the very clean restrooms with cloth towels take it to another level.

    French cut pork chop & side

    I searched for a good restaurant to celebrate my birthday and stumbled upon this gem. Everything was great, from the service and the ambiance to the food. They have different dining rooms named after family members. Each room has a distinct look & feel. We had a little wait time before seated, but nothing too long. We were finally seated and greeted by our waitress, Skylar. She was delightful, helpful with food & drink selections, and attentive throughout our dining. Everyone was friendly, polite & down to earth, from the staff to other restaurant patrons. 10 out of 10, I would recommend! This is now a favorite spot for me!! Since this was our first time at this restaurant, we ordered several appetizers and drinks. We had the following: For drinks: Sparkling water Ginger ale Chocolate Martini - tasty Pineapple upside-down martini - tasty Appetizers: Cream of crab soup - I loved it!! Fried Zucchini - I was not a fan, and I love zucchini. They were not fried hard enough, and the inside seemed like they were sauteed too long before frying, so they were mushy Tempura fried asparagus - fried perfectly & was tasty Spinach dip - was good! Hot & spicy shrimp - were tasty, not spicy to me, but had great flavor The fried calamari - was good! For our entrees, a few of us went with the Lighter fare (smaller portions of the same great dinner options) The crab cake was paired with two sides. One person had the French-cut pork chops, and I had the Dutch broiled seafood platter, which came with a Lobster tail, crab cake, crab imperial, shrimp, and scallops. I paired it with a twice-baked potato and Caesar salad. We all enjoyed our meals, but we took most of it to go because we were stuffed with appetizers. Pros: Love the decor Delicious food Ample parking Tasty drinks Great attentive staff Cons: Fried Zucchini (may have been an off night)

    Dessert for my birthday!
    Teresa R.

    The building itself is so beautiful and a joy to walk into. I can't ever say enough good things about this restaurant. It's an easy process to make reservations by calling. When we arrived, we were quickly seated. The brunch is ALWAYS amazing! The crab dip, French toast, Carved Prime Rib, Vegetarian Pasta, Dutch's Chicken, vegetables, and everything else is always so flavorful! I was able to order a caramel iced coffee which was brought from downstairs somewhere! It was soooo good! My husband and son had the Blackened Honey Glazed Salmon and absolutely loved it! The staff is always so helpful and welcoming.

    One of my fav Restaurant for Seafood! The Quality is always top notch ! My fav is the Crab Bread ! Literally melts in your mouth ! The drinks are amazing as well ! Ambiance is casual, older crowd mostly ! Service is good as well

    Hubby's appetizer was French Onion soup. I'm not into onions, but I tasted the broth, the bread and the cheese and it was very good.

    If you've never been to Dutch's Daughter in Frederick, MD, you need to save your pennies and treat yourself to a delightful evening. We celebrated my husbands birthday there and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. Our waiter was awesome; he was attentive and genuinely friendly but not intrusive. Our appetizers and meals were simply top-notch. The sad thing is, we get the same exact meal every time we go because it's always that good! We were just talking the other day about what excuse can we use or make up to go back to celebrate something? We finally came up with "let's celebrate the five year anniversary that we made settlement on our home"! Done!!!

    Sweet Potato Muffin
    Maggi R.

    Our friends wanted to treat us to lunch and took us to Dutch's Daughter. This was such a stately and elegant restaurant. What was most enjoyable was the quiet atmosphere. It was so nice to be able to sit and talk and actually be able have a conversation without having to raise our voices. As the British would say, "It was so civilized." The dining room was quite beautiful. The Sweet Potato muffins were to die for - I could have made a meal out of them. We enjoyed the Crab Cake sliders with onion rings, Dutch's Burger with onion rings, Cobb Salad with Chicken, and an Oyster Sandwich with Sweet Potato Wedges. The only disappointment was that the Cobb Salad had anchovies in it - not a pleasant surprise! When I mentioned it to the waiter, he did not offer to take it back to the kitchen. For dessert, we shared a huge Snapper Ice Cream Pie. Three in our party ordered coffee, and we were surprised that our server never offered any refills. All in all, we had a very pleasant time together.

A bit noisy for me to hear a conversation easily. The food was excellent. I tried the seafood jambalaya with had fish, scallops shrimp and spicy sausage with Cajun seasoning over brown rice. The fish was flaky and scallops and shrimp were sweet and perfectly cooked. I appreciated that the server made sure I understood that it was going to be spicy which it was but not unbearably so (I like mildly spicy to medium spicy). I loved the spinach crab dip appetizer. It was creamy and hot and delicious. The hushpuppies, of you are a hushpuppy fan were a must order. The arrived hot and very crisp coating with a moist interior. They come with a honey butter which really put them over the top. My spice got the grilled shrimp with shoestring potatoes. The shrimp were grilled perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning.

She's been behind the bar for three weeks and is obviously an asset not just for her hustle but for maintaining a positive attitude during a rush that the restaurant is still training to cope with. Kudos girl The fried fish was terrific although the fries needed more time in the fryer. The sweet potato fries were excellent. The Cole slaw was delicious I even liked the tartar sauce. I had a seltzer from RAK honey lavender quite tasty. The new management is trying to offer the local products and it's the right direction. I believe this place has lots of potential and I look forward to my next visit when I hope to give more stars.

Bad move, as the place RAN OUT of crabs less than an hour after opening, all while we were already sitting through a two hour wait to be seated. We cut our losses and headed back to our area, zeroing in on Avery's as a plan B and hoping for the best. As always, they came through! We put our name on their convenient wait list and were seated within an hour after arriving. And NO SHORTAGE of crabs here! Mom enjoyed her feast and the margaritas were top notch (and powerful!)

I let our server know, and she was very kind and quick to offer a replacement, which I really appreciated. However, when the second steak came out it appeared grey on the inside and had a very unusual texture. It was grainy and fell apart very easily, almost as if it could be cut with a fork. The texture and color were concerning and made the steak difficult to enjoy. Unfortunately, after eating some of it I began feeling sick and ended up having to leave early. I'm not sure if the issue was with the quality or freshness of the meat, but it was a very disappointing experience. I do want to note that the seafood my family ordered was actually very good and everyone else enjoyed their meals. I would rate the seafood around an 8/10. That said, I hope the restaurant looks into the quality of the red meat being served so others don't have a similar experience.
