It looks fantastic. Like any new place there are bugs that need to be worked out. The same happened when La Paz moved and now they are in great shape. Had a fantastic dinner there last Friday night. I think volt will work out their opening jitters and problems and be a huge succcess. A freind was in town and lives in NYC and is familiar with the owner as he was associated with a fine NYC dining spot that was VERY succesful!! I still would love to try it. It looks fantastic.

FYI, Fredericktonians has been in the local lexicon for years and years. It may strike you as silly and reaching and pretentious, but it's almost mainstream. Do a Google--and then get a drink or four. You are one angry, amigo! JEA, chill bro. FYI, Fredericktonians has been in the local lexicon for years and years.

I had an 8 PM reservation on August 30th with four friends. We got there at 7:55 and the host said our table would be ready "just past the hour" as "people were sitting at my table." Then 8:30 rolled around and still no table... I went out to the host and he said "they're just leaving, it should be a few minutes more." Then 9:00 came....NO table. No apology either as I walked out in a huff. Sadly, this was NOT a unique experience. One of my best friends was there with his wife. Their reservation was for two people at 8PM. They were told the same thing I was...and then when they went to leave at 9:15, the manager begged them to say and offered them free appetizers. They were not seated until 9:45. They left angrily at 10:30 when their food they ordered 45 minutes earlier was still not there. This place has THREE different dining rooms and NO seating?????? Are they kidding when they say "someone is at your table?" Really??? I was out for dinner at Acacia this week and I heard someone at the bar ask someone "hey, have you eaten at VOLT? " and they replied "no, but I've been there!" So I chimed in with my experience to find that at least ten people have all had the same dining experience in the last month. I say BOLT and boycott VOLT! Frederick does not need a poorly run high-end food joint with crap customer service! This is the WORST restaurant to open in Frederick in a while.

They're an a la carte steakhouse and the food is amazing. They only serve prime meat and they're dishes are all quite creative. if you’re looking for a great steak you need to go to Firestone’s.

There is such a thing as Washingtonians from Washington. Stop trying to come up with clever nicknames for people from Frederick. Just stick to complicated math.
