7th Sister — Restaurant in Frederick

Atmosphere is trendy and restaurant is clean and inviting. We had reservations for noon and arrived early. While at the host stand several employees walked by without any acknowledgement to our presence. After several minutes we were greeted and seated. Received water very quickly. Water without ice, no biggie. I’ve traveled and know many places in Europe do not office iced beverages. We ordered quickly and decided to have a starter first. That came out quickly. Bread and oil. After finishing our starter we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally the server came out and said our food would “be out in 5”. Twenty min later we were still waiting. We were now at the hour mark after being seated. The food appears, and we dig in. The omelette just barely warm. We’re talking like body temp. For $19 I had higher expectations. Esp after waiting so long. We also ordered the pastrami and egg sandwich. Also, barely warm. The potatoes though, they were very hot. So I guess we waited 20-30 min for hot potatoes. The server made no mention and offered no apologies for the delay when the food was dropped.

Although the flavors of the omelette were very nice, it was hard to enjoy. The inner texture of the egg was a soft scramble which tastes better when warm. The sandwich offered a generous portion of pastrami, but cheese on the sandwich had that warmed then cooled appearance. The sandwich was at room temp. For $18, we expected more.

I was in Frederick, Maryland this past weekend for a wedding and really enjoyed a meal at 7th Sister on North Market Street. The restaurant is situated inside an historical home built in 1890.

The highlight of the evening was the food and the service we received at the restaurant. One member of our party has severe food allergies and Sam, our waitress, was very attentive and detailed to ensure the other waitstaff and the chefs were aware of the allergens. Some of us had oysters as an appetizer and when served, Sam shared the different types of oysters and from which part of the Chesapeake Bay they came from. The meals were real pleasers too. From the casual Frederick Style Cheesesteak, to a French Cassoulet, to a Legacy “Chesapeake” Risotto. It was enjoyed seated in a cozy room overlooking the courtyard with a fire in the firepit. The ambiance was fabulous; the food was beyond wonderful and the service was top notch. It was a great beginning to a wonderful celebrative weekend in Frederick, MD. If you live near Frederick, or just visiting, I highly recommend the 7th...

I visited 7th Sister in downtown Frederick to celebrate my birthday, and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The atmosphere struck the perfect balance of cozy and elevated: a vibe that felt both special and inviting.

The staff went above and beyond to make the evening feel personal and celebratory. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, welcoming, and our server’s recommendations were spot-on.

The food was just…wow. The chef’s plate was divine — each bite perfectly balanced and beautifully plated. The burrata was creamy and fresh, and the crab cakes were easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere (Maryland-approved!). And even though I wasn’t drinking, their mocktails were next-level — truly the best I’ve ever tasted.

If you’re looking for a spot that feels special but not stuffy, where the food and service are equally exceptional, 7th Sister is it. I left feeling celebrated, full, and already looking for a reason to plan...
