The food was great quality, and the flavor profiles across the entire meal were really well done. The burger and wings were especially good. My only small note would be that the cream cheese filling in the jalapeño poppers could use a little more flavor--maybe some bacon pieces mixed in or even a bacon-wrapped version--but that's definitely more personal preference than a complaint. Overall, really good food with great flavor and quality. I'll definitely be ordering from Bushwaller's again!

We sat outside along Carroll Creek on a perfect evening and honestly the setting alone is worth the visit. But the food is what will bring you back. The pressed watermelon, feta and pistachio salad with vanilla onion jam was a nightly special and was outstanding... one of those dishes that sounds unexpected but every element makes complete sense together. The dill pickle hummus was a standout starter as well. The pork belly and grits is a classic on their menu for a reason... rich, perfectly executed, and totally delivers on the hype. The duck breast and filet with foie gras butter were both exceptional mains... the kind of dishes that remind you why you go out to eat. Do not overlook the sides. The potato salad especially is criminally underrated. The Short Shorties mini cocktail flight was a fun and delicious way to start the evening... a Negroni, Manhattan and Martini all in miniature form. Honest and knowledgeable hospitality from Kat, outstanding seasonal food, and a creek-side patio that makes the whole experience feel special. This one is a must for Frederick.

The meat was cooked to perfection, the slaw was delicious on the slider, and the bun was fantastic- this was THE best pulled pork slider I've had. I can recommend The Beacon is a place I will revisit when I am back in this area.

Not even an hour into our event, I had noticed the security at the door being aggressive with the patrons, At our events we invite a community made up of our friends, loved ones and locals that share ideals and beliefs, such as PLURR and Decency. So this off rip didn't sit well with me. I understand someone has to do their job and in fact would want everyone to be checked and ID'd/verified before they enter our show for safety and legal reasons, So I will never get in the way of stopping staff from doing that as their job. What really spiraled the night out of control was when one of our own staff from our collective who we had as a greeter at the door looked uncomfortable so we went to go check on her and she had told us that a secondary man next to the security/doorman who was also checking people in had made inappropriate sexual comments such as asking her to sit in his lap because she looked tired of standing while gesturing towards his genitalia, this happened in the entry hallway. (being dressed up and looking good is not an invite to be inappropriate, we condemn that disgusting behavior to the highest degree). This combined with multiple other patrons complaining about being touched inappropriately as they entered and paid. (This second man, the security/doorman's brother wasn't even authorized to work and was allegedly fired months ago from Café 611 yet he was there "working" with permission from the owner) when I fully heard everything from multiple people. I walked up to the security and asked them to please not be aggressive with our patrons, as mentioned before these are our friends and family coming through and I personally love these people to death. The secondary man then proceeded to get aggressive with me, threaten me and tell me that he would take me out front to the street and kill me, To quote exactly what he said "I don't knock people out. I put them to sleep permanently. Would you like to go outside? Let's go outside" me at this point, I'm absolutely bewildered and the situation escalating (my only words to them in this entire exchange in front of 10+ people was simply asking if they could not speak to our patrons in a condescending or aggressive way) the customers that were entering the building and knew nothing about the situation unfolding were the ones that had to be the to step in between and try to pull him away from me as he was standing up to put hands on anyone that angered him. I let things cool down and walk away. I proceeded to address my issues with the person in charge of that night, immediately he was dismissive, but told me he would go over and talk to security. He walked over and I watched them speak. They shared a couple laughs for about 30 minutes and the man Hung out for another hour after that before he decided to leave on his own accord. At the end of the night when our event was over, not a minute after, right on the dot. Security and the Manager started yelling obscenities and telling everyone to get the **** out and made a comment about white people for some reason? Which left everyone uncomfortable and confused because this room was as ethnically diverse as it could get. Me and my entire staff went to have a full conversation about what had happened that night and recapping with the owner but he defended his "staff" even after having multiple (7+) patrons independently complain about being uncomfortable, he ignored any accountability, harassed us for his money while we were actively breaking down and loading all of our equipment into our vehicles outside because at that point it was clearly the only thing he cared about. demanded we pay him their split without any reasoning or understanding that the funds had to be transferred. Started acting like we were trying run off without paying him because we demanded a conversation about accountability first and then when it was all said and done shut the door on us so we couldn't return. I will never in my life come/promote/attend/etc here ever. This place has a bad history and I wanted to believe it wasn't true and still try to work at the 611 because good venues in the Maryland scene are hard to come by, but everything everyone has said about this place unbelievably correct.

You can't beat the interior decor and ambiance. I mean, you just can't. It's elegant, modern, and each section of the restaurant offers a different atmosphere for your choosing - darker and gothic, or, in the back, brighter and more modern. The service was fantastic, as you would expect. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, and they didn't make any fuss when I asked to change tables. The food overall was very good. - Beef Fat Fries: Very very good - The Steak Tartare was also good. I think it needed a bit more flavor - maybe more mustard or capers. - Caesar's Salad was so good, and those sesame churros were fantastic. - Oysters were good. - Ribeye steak was good. For what you're paying I expected something closer to a steakhouse quality cut and cook, but it was still good. And I liked the Yorkshire pudding. - Gnocchi, Asparagus, and Creamed Spinach were all good. - Rockfish was smaller than I thought it would be, but also good - The Prime Rib was also very good. I think it could have been helped by a little more flavorful au jus on the side. We really appreciated the Laguiole steak knives they gave us. They're not like those terrible dull bulky knives you get from even high-end steak houses. Overall a very pleasant dinner. Not sure it's worth the price tag, but there aren't a lot of options nearby for nicer restaurants - besides the Tasting Room.

The meal started with some of the softest bread I've had in a long time. It was warm, fluffy, and perfect for dipping into the olive oil. We could have easily eaten an entire basket! My friend and I shared the filet mignon with whipped potatoes and asparagus. The steak was cooked beautifully, the potatoes practically melted in your mouth, and the asparagus spears were fresh and flavorful. We also split the seafood pasta, and the portion was enormous! Loaded with seafood and packed with flavor, it was just as impressive as the steak. My friend's bf got gluten free pasta-- they have gluten free options! My friend ordered an espresso martini, which was smooth, delicious, and the perfect complement to the meal. By the end of dinner, we were absolutely stuffed and couldn't even make room for dessert--which is probably the best sign of a satisfying meal. Great food, generous portions, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'd gladly return!

I got the basic spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were very good, tender, and flavorful. These are definitely made in house. My GF got the bolognese and let me tell you this was the star if the show. It comes with fresh made pasta (fettuccini I believe) and a great homemade sauce (you can see the carrots and other ingredients). It was exceptional and I would highly recommend. The service was okay, I believe our server had far too many tables and took about 20 minutes to cash out on a slower Wednesday dinner service. Everything else was great and we'll be sure to be back!

We came here to celebrate a personal milestone and we did it at the last moment. Luckily, there was a table for it. We did not know what to expect, but some menu items had a nice twist to the dish. However, one dish was by far the best: the deviled eggs. The sauce and the prep was just amazing. It is not a lot of food and it is $20, but we both thought it was worth it to come back to eat it again. The other dishes we ordered were good, but the most memorable was the deviled eggs. I liked how they had a leaderboard for frequent customers though. That was cool to just stare at. The location has parking on the rocks and it was full by 6 pm on a Thursday. There is outside seating and limited inside seating. The bar area looked fairly busy because it was happy hour time. Its an old timey restaurant with a more mature setting that made us think of places like eating on Kent Island or Annapolis or St. Michaels. It is a hidden gem here - especially where it was located.

The goat cheese fritters were good and the sauce on top of them was delicious. At our table of 3, none of us cared for the pierogis. I ordered the beef medallions for my entree. They were seasoned well, and I really like the topping, mashed potatoes, and squash. Unfortunately I found the beef itself surprisingly chewy, almost like bubble gum, which made them difficult to enjoy. The complementary bread was also extremely dense and dry. The butter it was paired with was overwhelmingly salty. One thoughtful moment was when they checked my friend's ID and noticed that her birthday has been earlier in the month. They surprised her with a complimentary dessert, which was so kind and really stood out to us. We sat outside on the patio, which wasn't busy when we arrived at 3:45. We were asked when we got there if it was okay that we were out by 6:30 because our table had another reservation. That was plenty of time for us, and we left around 5:30, but it felt a little unnecessary since the patio was mostly empty when we left. The restaurant had a quiet atmosphere, and the outdoor area was gorgeous. Overall, the meal had some highlights and the birthday dessert was a lovely gesture.
