Frederick County's outdoor dining options are hard to beat. It's perfect to enjoy some early evening weather, comfortably casual atmosphere, and the lovely sounds of summer while you dine. It comes as no surprise that when expanded outdoor dining was introduced at many of the area’s restaurants, the reaction was very positive. Although there is no shortage of great options, a few places do stand out. These are the places to go for a unique and distinctly Frederick view while you eat and drink!
Perhaps an obvious choice for a meal with lovely scenery is Downtown Frederick. Any outdoor seating with a view of Carroll Creek park is going to be pleasant, but standouts include The Wine Kitchen, with its live floral umbrellas, and new on the scene Truth and Beauty, with its perfect spot overlooking the fountain. With the addition of parklets which turn on street parking spaces into dining tables, there are a wide variety of restaurants offering views of Market and Patrick Streets. Some of these spots have gone above and beyond. The Tasting Room has wrapped their perimeter with beautiful lighting and Up On Market’s outdoor seating has the feel of a French garden cafe.
