The Press Room - Shepherdstown

The press room is a beautiful restaurant, with excellent decor and staff. It comes off elegant with all of the candles and cloth napkins. Atmosphere and service aside the food was incredibly lackluster especially for the price you pay. I would honestly rather drive all the way to Frederick for better tasting food. I ended up getting an alfredo pasta dish with berries I would have gone with the chicken variant but they were out. They didn't do anything unique with the fruit, they essentially just grabbed a handful of blueberries raspberries add blackberries and tossed them on top of the noodles. It was ok My partner ended up getting the swordfish, it came out relatively cold. The fish had wonderful looking sear marks but it was over salted. It was pretty good would recommend The oyster appetizer was delicious.

Atmosphere is cozy and quaint. The mussels and roasted beet salad were fantastic. Service was solid. Great spot for a date night, or evening out with friends!

Been here 2 times for work lunches and it might be one of my favorite spots. I'm upset I didn't find them sooner. Oysters have been amazing both times (they have this vinegar with picked onions that you drizzle on top paired with horseradish and ooooh my lord! I haven't had anything I haven't liked yet.

We stopped in for an early dinner at the bar. Susie was very friendly and informative. After a quick bite, we had a delicious panna cotta and espresso martinis.

A friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! We called to make reservations, and the beautiful table was waiting for us when we arrived. The food was fantastic! The hanger steak and lavender creme brulee were to die for! And fresh bread kept on coming! Service was great, too! Worth the hike, for sure!
