Up On Market

Francis and Michelle always welcome me into the restaurant and the food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is so nice. It's not too loud and has a eclectic urban feel, yet cozy. Tonight I had the black striped sea bass with delicate savory cream sauce paired with a Bruno Giacosa - Nebbiolo D'Alba. Francis recommended this wine and it complemented the fish perfectly. The cream caper sauce was unbelievable and what I really enjoyed was the sweet onions in the pasta. Probably the best meal I've had! Topped off with a grasshopper! Highly recommend to anybody that wants a culinary experience.

TL;DR Rude staff, overpriced, food isn't anything special. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I have nothing good to say about this place. We went on a Sunday since it was the only place without a wait (it was actually nearly empty, which should have been our first sign). We walked in and only one other table was occupied. We waited for at least 7 minutes while two staff members moved around doing chores; they could see us but just...didn't care about paying customers? We asked if we could sit at a certain table but apparently it was reserved, uh ok. The table did not become occupied during our hour and a half visit. The woman who waited on us had no customer service skills. It was like we were bothering her by ordering. All I wanted was to get out. They charge you to split a dish and the food is already over priced. Nothing we ate was better than other Frederick spots. I am appalled at how rude this woman was. The restaurant is EMPTY during prime brunch time and you're rude to customers??? Yikes.

Such a sweet place to enjoy brunch! The owner was so kind and you can tell how much he loved the restaurant. The food was good and we're looking forward to trying other meals there!

We admittedly stopped in to use the bathroom, but started looking at the menu and talking to the host and were quickly convinced to sit down for a light dinner. The shepherd's pie and crab chowder were very good. The host told us about the history of the building and went on for a little too long, but it was interesting overall. Very intentional and beautiful design elements inside.

Another hit for downtown Frederick. Went to this restaurant for brunch and honestly could have found something for each meal of the day. The ambience is upscale modern French and the menu can be a bit pricey, for good reason. Large portions of delicious fresh food. Paola was our waitress and she gave great suggestions to try, including a really good sparkling rosé that was light and smooth. Two of us got brunch items while one got the Cesar Salad with Salmon and we all cleared our plates. The 3 egg omelettes were very fluffy and not over stuffed with our toppings. The roasted potatoes were perfectly roasted with a delicious dill crème to dip in. For dessert we got the Pan au chocolate croissant and it was small but tasty. Overall, I would go back for another meal and try some of their craft cocktails.

First visit on a quiet Tuesday evening was a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant itself is exquisite with attention to detail in every detail... It is evident that this restaurant is a true labor of love on the part of not only the owners but the staff. The antique chairs, glass mirrors, the bar, woodwork,... each were carefully restored and look great. It is a treat to dine in these surroundings.We only had a few dishes and a chocolate desert, but what we had --including the bread-- was delicious and crafted very well. I loved my Beef Bourguignon hit the spot perfectly on an unusually cooler summer night. The menu is extensive and begs for more meals, but I am writing this review because every detail of what we experienced was really excellent....And the staff is attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about every detail as well. The service was excellent, which speaks to the entire experience itself.Many restaurants in Frederick have professional staff and excellent service, but not every restaurant follows up excellent service with equally excellent dishes. And no restaurant that I have been in recently is meticulously restored like Up on Market.As new residents of Frederick we are very happy to find a restaurant that represents the best of French cuisine and such an excellent and sweet dining experience.

Service:- the waitress was really friendly! She had a super cute, bubbly personality and was very attentive. She did try to take our drinks before we had finished them a few times, and then made some pretty hard hints we should order more- My father in law ordered the pasta and the waitress confused the order but really tried hard to convince us that someone truly *did* order the scallops- I ordered a macchiato that was just totally forgotten but they didn't put it on the bill so that wasn't so bad!Food:- appetizer: fried asparagus was actually really good!- meal: got the stuffed shrimp. So bad the protein portion was minuscule, the shrimp was overcooked and chewy and none of it tasted fresh. It was covered in some Asian inspired sauce & baked and was thoroughly bad. The fries took up half of the plate and were very meh, just covered in pepper. The coleslaw it came with was also mid, felt like fast food coleslaw. On a positive note my friend got the pork chop and that was cooked perfectly and very good!Also the food took ages to come out it was wild.But man, almost $40 for a plate of mostly sub par fries was super disappointing. Should have gone somewhere else when we walked in & the place was empty.

Best French cuisine! The New Zealand venison in French VSOP brandy crrame sauce was absolutely best in class, out of this world!The whole meal was prepared to perfection and presented with haute couture grace.

Phenomenal dining experience celebrating my friend's birthday. Francis explained everything thoroughly. The food, cocktails and wines are exquisite and unmatched in the area.

What an amazing gem on East Market Street. The owners captured what French cuisine means. I had the Chicken and my husband had the scallops with guyere cheese grits and asparagus. This adaptation to the original menu item was based on customer requests and is adjusted to the needs of the customer. You can't ask for more! The authenticity does not stop here of course. If you are requesting a cocktail. Every ingredient that is added is measured and put in carefully versus other places that tend to rely more and more on premade mixers. But don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself.!!! A small business that puts its whole heart & soul into its service. That's rare these days. I give 6 out of 5 stars! Blessed!
