Restaurants near Carroll County Fairgrounds Historical

Beautiful restaurant and, overall, and excellent experience. We loved the fried chicken liver and crabcake appetizers. The prime rib was also great as was the broccolini and mac & cheese roast chicken was good but a bit too salty. Service needs some work – we were greeted and told to have a seat, but there were no seats available and nobody invited us to the bar. They then lost our reservation, which I had to then find on my phone. We seated without menus, and we’re never offered any bread. 

The Tasting Room is always a great culinary experience! My husband opted for the ribeye steak as opposed to the filet this time and regretted it—not that the ribeye was bad in any way, the filet is just perfection. My halibut was divine, as was our crab toast appetizer, and the lobster mashed potatoes are a must! The service is excellent, and the noise level was especially tolerable this time (we went early—5:15–so that definitely played into it). A word of caution for those who are noise sensitive: with the high tin ceilings, glass surfaces, and the tiled floors, it can get intolerably loud, especially so the later you go. Overall, the Tasting Room provides a wonderful dining experience!

From the moment we walked in and sat down for a cocktail, the ambiance and service was great! The food was very good but I wouldn’t say EXCELLENT. My husband lamb was a bit overcooked. But I loved about 90% of the food. It was worth the price we payed and our service was amazing. We also got a three course wine pairing and I felt like it was paired well.

We were with friends we hadn’t seen in a while. It took us a while to order and to leave. Our waitress was amazing. She continued to allow us all the time we wanted and needed. We were practically the last ones there. The food was outstanding and they were French onion. Soup is just the best ! It was burger night and we took full advantage!

Buds is always top notch! The food is outstanding!
