Pistarro's
221 N East StWood-fired pizza, Italian fare. Outdoor seating.
You'll need to drive to the Red Horse and you'll be transported back to about 1975, which might be when it opened. But the steaks are amazing, service is really good. Probably the oldest restaurant in Frederick.

If you're a Top Chef fan you may know who Brian Voltaggio is, and he owns this place and sometimes is around. I have not yet visited this iteration, it used to be Volt and was a destination restaurant. Thatcher and Rye is a little more affordable that Volt was, but probably still very special. Lots of outdoor seating, reservations might be a good idea.

The food is really good and often overlooked, because this bar can get loud and crazy. But what I like best about Bushwaller's is that it is always, and I mean, always open. Snowstorm- open. Hurricane- open. Thanksgiving and Christmas- open although not till 5 or so. Bushwaller's is reliable.
