    I've been going to Monocacy Crossing since the early 2000's but had not been in a couple of years. Even before I walked in today, I noticed how they have refurbished the outside of the restaurant and it looks great, going inside I was amazed at the remodeling they had done on the bar area, not only is it twice as large everything is new and fresh, with high top tables, and a huge bar section. I chose to sit in the main dining room and had requested next to a window, which I was accommadated, I love this room as it's so cozy and comfortable, my server Paige who was delightful, came immediately for my drink order and menu. I order the sauted scallops with bacon and shallot vinaigrette, which was scrumptious, it was served with jasmine rice and baby snap peas. Mouthwatering is the best way to describe this meal, it's my favorite dish at Monocacy Crossing, I've ordered it for years and it still is beyond delicious! Rarely, do I order dessert but today the creme' brulee was calling my name and it did not disappoint, the firm sugery topping that cracked perfectly and the lush custard inside rounded out my meal. Paige was back and forth throughout to check on me but never a bother. I of course will return to Mononcacy Crossing and you should try it too.

    We arrived and were promptly shown to our table. However, we then waited 20 minutes to have a server approach our table. We barely got a hello. Drinks then took another 10 minutes, the cocktail wasn’t the quality we expect at a restaurant of that price point. Food took a long time. There was no communication. Server wasn’t particularly friendly. He passed the table several times before asking if I wanted a drink refill. The food was good but not the quality I’m used to at that price point. We came to use a gift card and will most likely not return.

    First of all, love that they have specials. Not many restaurants do anymore. The food was excellent, and we had a lovely table by the window and an excellent server. Couldn't be better.

    Another great meal at Monocacy Crossing. Started with Peach Sangria, not too sweet and refreshing. We had the mixed green salad and the grilled romaine both excellent. For main course we had the bolognaise and the new Korean tuna dish with rice and lettuce leaves, outstanding combination of flavors, Service was friendly and efficient.
