10. Olive Garden

Needed a reasonably priced place to hold my daughter's rehearsal dinner for her wedding. Everybody loves Olive Garden and it was close to the venue so by unanimous vote we headed there after the rehearsal. It did not disappoint. Several different entrees were ordered including classic lasagna, stuffed chicken marsala, sea food alfredo and tour of Italy. The bread sticks were warm and plentiful and the soups and salads were great. The waitress was wonderful and even gave my daughter and her fiance a free dessert on her ( I apologize I don't remember her name but it was on Thursday night, Sept 27 at 9pm so if management reads this maybe you can give her some credit) Love Olive Garden and will continue to go whenever possible. Good prices and lots of goodie bags went home.

One of my bosses recommended this place since she knows I love Italian...she was right. This is a lovely restaurant with a real Italian feel and décor...there is outdoor patio dining (which we had this time) which was delightful. We were the only ones there so it was just us and the soothing water sound of the fountain nearby. The enclosure was planted with many colorful blooms and the waiter was superior. We also discovered a new beer that day because he let us sample it. Great job, Bella!

I have been to this restaurant many times over the years and that is why I suggested to my friends (from Elementary School) to have lunch here. We arrived yesterday, October 4, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. We all live about an hour from here. Two of us did not have much change on us for the parking meters. One of my friends asked the waitress if she could give us change for small bills. She told us they did not have change. Thinking how could this be, they are a restaurant. I went to the waitress to ask for myself. Another woman that was sitting down near the bar turned to me and said in a very nasty tone, 'we don't have change, I have NOT been to the bank.' I responded with, 'You do not have to be nasty about it.' Needless to say we left and took our business to another restaurant in Frederick. I wish I had her name because as an owner I would want to know how employees are treating their customers. The food is wonderful here and I will go back, however if I see this woman I will turn around and leave. So sad.Hi Laurie. First and foremost I would like to say that I am sorry that you felt you had a bad experience. It certainly is never our intent for anyone to go away unhappy. There are two sides to every story and this is my side. Your friends had asked the waitress for quarters for the meter and my server went to her drawer and did not have enough quarters. She came into the back room where I was working and asked if I had more quarters. I did not have any more rolls of quarters but we checked another register and were low there as well. She returned the dollar to your friend after making a good faith attempt to find quarters. I was on the phone with a vendor in the back room when someone came into the hallway and started questioning my server again about quarters. I muffled the phone and leaned out of the back room and said, " It's me. I'm sorry I haven't been to the bank yet.". I was trying to take the heat off of my server and place the blame on myself. I never heard you say, "You don't have to be so nasty." I wasn't being nasty nor was that ever my intent and I truly apologize if you interpreted it that way. I always try to keep quarters on hand for customers and that morning had already gone through an entire roll because I had given it out for parking meters. I appreciate your kind words about our food and I would be more than happy to pay for your parking the next time you come to lunch. Again I apologize that you chose not to dine with us over a miscommunication but I am happy that you chose to stay in down town Frederick. We have a lot of great neighbors. I hope this can be a reminder to all visitors to our fabulous downtown to prepare for the parking. We have many decks available and if on the off chance you or I do not have quarters,you can down load the park mobile app ( the web address is on the parking meters ) and use your debit or credit card. Thank you Laurie and we hope to see you soon.

The food was pretty good but I must say I have had better in local pizza shops. I was surprised that it was dine in and had a sizable dining area and great staff. Service was fairly quick and serving sizes for the price were adequate.

When patronizing a local restaurant chain there are usually expectations that certain standards will be upheld in terms of taste, portions, service and pricing. That, plus convenience were our familyâs expectations This location delivered There were six of us and everyone left satisfied. Salads, individual pizzas, a shrimp dish as well as other entrees were all tasty. Service was efficient and courteous. The price was reasonable

We are regular visitors to Juliet's great deli-sandwich shop and store. She and her daughter and rest of the staff are delightfully friendly and customer-oriented. Most importantly, the FOOD at this shop is very tasty. We especially enjoy the very good Cuban sandwich, but have also found other sandwiches are quite tasty too. We love our visits to Juliet's, looking forward to them as a visit visit with friends and enjoying consistently yummy food.

We had lunch here last weekend and got a sunny table outside on their patio. I ordered wheat angel hair with meatballs and hubby had his usual pasta in marinara, this time with penne. The entree' came with either a side salad or garlic bread. We both had a side salad. My food was tasty and so filling that I could only finish half of it. Hubby had the rest and it was good.

Walking distance from Shab Row shopping and across from Rails and Roads Museum, plus directly next to a playground, this is a great spot for families! I saw dog bowls on the patio which also warms my soul. I ordered a watermelon salad which was delicious, and the staff were soooooo super friendly and kind with great personalities! Definitely recommend!

The service here was great and the wait staff very knowlegeable about the menu and anwered all of my questions. Not that I had a lot, but their answers really helped me select exactly what I wanted to eat. The restaurant is small and charming. It was slightly difficult to navigate our way out after all the tables had filled up, but nobody seemed to mind me squeezing by. I loved the painting on the walls. And the food was excellent, very nice selection of italian dishes, and very well prepared.

This was my 2nd time visiting this restaurant and I will say officially it's the one place I'll visit each time I come to MD for training. My server tonight was Marcello and his customer service was on point from the first encounter. I asked for sweet tea, which they don't serve, and he offered to make a glass of sweet tea just for me - very impressive. Just like last time, I tried one of the nightly specials. The way Marcello described the dish, I literally tasted the dish in my mind before I actually tasted the dish. Wait staff that can do that, are people to be kept on staff forever. So, I had the gorgonzola and pear stuffed ravioli with baby shrimp, shitake mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, in a brandy cream sauce topped with slivered almonds and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Baby, we got a winner!! It tasted just as good as it was described to me and that is truly an art. Manalu is now my favorite restaurant in Frederick. See you next go round and thank you Marcello for the great service!!!
