Press Room

Great place! Wife and I s
had our 1st Anniversary dinner here. We'll be back!!!!

The food and service was fantastic. The staff was friendly and very welcoming even though we had been riding the C & O trail most of the day. I had the artichoke pasta. It was delicious.

Smokey and delicious oyster stew and great service!

Had a delicious meal here which we had to get carry-out due to the COVID restrictions. I had my doubts about ordering a fancy meal to go, but the Press Room came through for us. Everything was perfectly packaged up and, once we had the chance to sit down and eat, it all proved be outstandingly delicious. My wife ordered a hanger steak cooked medium-well, which a lot of places will overcook. The Press Room did it perfectly -- cooked through but still juicy & tender. My red snapper was likewise cooked to perfection. Bravo!

We did take out. Service (even though it was takeout) was superb. They were very organized and had it set up so we could whisk right through to get our meal with very little contact to the few folks they had dining in. Food was magnificent. Note that cutlery is available upon request.

Amazing! I did not expect the level of food we got from this place in a small town like Shepherdstown. Every item we ordered was fantastic. My lamb shank just fell off the bone. Our waiter was wonderful as well. If I ever come through here again this will be my first stop!

Great food and a friendly atmosphere. My wife and I love it. It's our go-to place whenever we can steal a couple hours away from the kids. Sit at the bar and you're bound to find someone to talk to, or just chat with the bartender (Brian) who is great!

Wish I could comment about the food, but didn't have the chance to taste it. The hostess was not friendly and seemed stressed for no reason. We weren't sure why we were treated so rudely, but they seemed to be making all the patrons uncomfortable. Tons of empty seats but they still made us wait 20 minutes... And the bartender gave my friend a hard time about her Virginia drivers license even though it was 100% valid and she is 25 years old... He was rude as well. Just such a strange and unpleasant experience. Felt compelled to write this review. Left before we ordered.

Press Room never fails to please. Pork Milanese and Pasta with Artichoke hearts and Sausage were cooked to perfection. Even the bread was sweet and chewy. Curbside pickup was well organized. My meal was ready when they promised. Hats off to everyone making this happen during the pandemic!

Shepherdstown West Virginia's finest restaurant. Well designed bar area where you can have a meal while visiting with other customers ... and a larger separate dining room if you wish to be more formal. Seafood dishes and salads are exceptional. Free slices of French baguette with olive oil and balsamic are a nice touch.
Recommended.

Second place goes to the Bavarian Inn .. main dining room or rathskeller.
