When envisioning our restaurant, the team at Visitation Hotel knew we’d need to craft something truly special; a welcoming space where guests and locals alike could enjoy locally sourced cuisine, inspired cocktails, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The result is Wye Oak Tavern.

A fitting addition to Frederick’s rightly renowned gourmet landscape, Wye Oak (helmed by acclaimed celebrity Executive Chef Bryan Voltaggio) is a distinctive locavore restaurant where the ever-evolving menu is inspired by the season, landscape and bounty of the region. Timeless favorites share space with surprising plates, and curated cuisines of undeniable excellence. Each course is served within warm elegant surroundings that encourage community and goodwill.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Wye Oak Tavern, led by Chefs Michael and Bryan Voltaggio, offers a "beautiful" dining experience with "amazing" food and "wonderful" cocktails. The restaurant's unique design in a former church creates a "fantastic" atmosphere. While service is still smoothing out kinks, standout dishes like the ravioli and prime rib, along with a knowledgeable sommelier, make it a "must-visit" in Frederick.

    Had drinks and dinner on a Tuesday evening. Everything was top notch. Creative cocktail list and great service at the bar.Dinner was excellent. My wife and I had the ribeye and the Prime Rib. Both delicious. Again service was excellent. Our writer (unfortunately I forget his name because he deserves a shout out) went above and beyond. We had left over Prime Rib and we were staying at the hotel (The Visitation). He had a mini fridge delivered to our room, without our asking,so we could take the leftovers. All in all a great experience. Also a terrific happy hour.

    The experience at the Wye Oak Tavern was amazing. The service is exemplary, the food impeccable. Of particular note the sommelier was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a was great to interact with. It is well worth the visit if you're looking for something special in the DMV.

    This was our first visit to Wye Oak Tavern but not our first visit to a place run by Chef Voltaggio and as always we had an awesome evening of food and cocktails. Always love our visits to one of his places. Service was great and food was always great new building is beautiful. Can't wait for another visit.

    Went on a stormy, snowy night. Expected restaurant to be empty. It was full up; testament to its popularity in Frederick. Service from start to finish was excellent. Food, IMO, was average at best. Others in the dinner party would characterize the food as "good" - and for one even "good plus." Venue is positively gorgeous. Has to be the most beautiful restaurant in Frederick (and beyond). Sound level was (again IMO) very high - most likely due to the two-story high ceilings. I had difficulty listening/hearing the person more or less directly opposite me. Others in the party thought it was "acceptable." We had 7 pm reservations, no wait to be seated, but did not get out until a little after 9:30 Timing of service between courses could have been a lot better (unanimous opinion); but they might have been short staffed in the kitchen - it was snowing all night and had been for the previous 10 hours. Expensive, but not as expensive as downtown DC or NYC. (As a "first night special" they had a 30-day dry aged steak for $48. I didn't order it but I was sorely tempted. If it was well prepared, that would have been a great bargain.

    Food and atmosphere were exceptional. The rib eye, crab cake, ravioli were outstanding. I’m definitely going back!

    Impeccable service in a quirky/fun space. Wye Oak Tavern has only been open for a few weeks but has the Voltaggio trademark aesthetic and vibe. The menu is, as always, fun and regional. It probably needs a little more time to get the food exactly the way "Chef" wants it. I had a great time.

    The restaurant has only been open for two weeks but the service would make you think the restaurant is a well oiled machine that has been running for years. Great service, food, and cocktails, and its place in the renovated former church provides a very cool atmosphere for a meal.

    Unique ambience, good service. Enjoyed the cocktails very much. Unfortunately $90 dry aged shell steak was tough. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either. Other food was decent, but our satisfaction relative to price just wasn't there compared to other Frederick experiences like Tasting Room or even Hooch and Banter. Realize this restaurant just opened, and probably still working some things out…so hopefully the food improves to the level of the cocktails we had—which were quite good.

    Our first visit to a new restaurant. Too early to call. We will try them again once they settle in.
