Vino, Food & Chocolate Scene

I put together this Guest Book so you could see the BEST places to eat and visit. We also have all the big chain restaurants as well. At the end of each establishments notation I inserted a pricing guild for you. It ranges from $-$$$$. I think you get the message.
This place has a great breakfast and Oooh the charm! A large chessboard that’s people sized and real German Cuisine. When my two children graduated, I called on Chris and Carissa because this was the place they wanted to go eat! It was a blessing. The staff and grounds are A1! I highly, HIGHLY recommend you have breakfast or lunch here while you are in town! It's first on my list for a reason! Both price and hospitality are exceptional! $$

One of the best shops to get coffee and the best baked goods around! Situated in Shepherdstown, (I’m kinda partial to it since I was a double major at the university and this place kept me ampped up!) Great food, great coffee, great ambivalence and even better people and staff! $

Best place in town and you probably have a membership! If not you need one cause if you travel and have the black card you get in anywhere in the fifty states! I left work one morning, (I work nights), and drove clear to Frostburg for my daughter’s swim meet! There was a PF on the was so I stopped and showered there and back on the road! Saved me an hour not having to come home first before leaving! I’m not even going to tell you how many times I partied in Frederick, woke up in the back of my hotel Volvo and drove over to PF to shower and partied all the next night too! $

Casa Nostra
2 W.Market Street
This place has sooooooooo much charm! It's like getting lost in an old book of fairy tales or charms! The back area is just full of magic. The walls tell stories of old lore and the floor whispers the way to an evening of enchanted drinks! I first stumbled upon this place while just a bit tipsy, and in the mists of a late October evening. What could I say I felt magical and this place played it off well! If you are ever felling a bit of magic in the air, I'd definitely listen to the walls and floor! $$

Manager & Friend Min Pyo puts up one heck of an establishment here! Some of the best drinks, food pairings, and entertainment in Leesburg! I worked extra hard to get my tour in here and once you step inside you'll under stand way! This place is the only true DELIRIUM Cafe in all of the USA. It's origins come from deep roots in Brussels, Belgium! It holds the worlds record for most beers from the most counties from around the world. Many try to copy but if you don't have a plane ticket to Belgium and a passport, then you're not even close! So book a few spots on my Leesburg Beer Stroll, bring some friends and lets hit the only real deal in all of the USA and lets show them how Americans PARTY!!

First time here I was amazed by the service so I asked our waiter for that manager, (In Martinsburg and Hagerstown good service is hard to find that's why a lot of these places are in Frederick or Leesburg), any ways I asked for the manager and our waiter pulsed and asked if everything was okay. I said it be a good thing to get the manager. He then asked if he get the owner if it be better. I said, "YES"! He then said, "You're speaking to the owner!" I was flabbergasted that it was the best service I'd ever had in All of Martinsburg and probably Hagerstown too! But how many owners you know would hit the floor when one of his employees called out? None!! Now he always greats me at the door and I ask for that REALLY GOOD WAITER! $-$$$ This place has fishbowl sized margaritas and the foods so good you can't stop eating it! If you go in a little hungry you'll probably spend a few hours in there and come out feeling like a king!! That's why I say $-$$$!

I'm starting a Coupon Center as I get lots of adds and Coupons in the mail. I hope you will be able to use them if you forget something and rather pay full price you are welcome to have them. PLEASE only take what you need and will use. As of now the Coupon Center is hanging on my fridge. I hope to get a cork board up and post the Coupons as I get them and have it hang in the hallway by the rooms.
