7th Sister is a Mid-Atlantic restaurant and gathering house located inside the historic Houck Mansion at 228 North Market Street in Frederick, Maryland. Inspired by the six Houck sisters who built the home in 1890, the restaurant imagines the house itself as the mysterious “seventh sister”—a keeper of stories, memory, and spirit. Led by Chef Christian Blouin—formerly of Firestone’s and Hootch & Banter—the menu draws on coastal flavors, seasonal ingredients, and regional traditions, with thoughtful, creative dishes rooted in community and craft.

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 my next visit!

The latest iteration of a restaurant in the beautiful house that most know from Volt days does a lot right. Enough so that despite an impossibly long delay between our oysters and entree, we came away feeling positive about the experience.
The MD oysters were flavorful and not too briny. The Chesapeake risotto was perfectly cooked and not too salty (common problem for risotto). The masterpiece was the Romanesque Branzzino where every component on the dish elevated everything else.

Pros: Love that they offer happy hour! Sliders were good. They have very unique drinks. The espresso martini was so good! Bartenders were friendly and attentive!
Con: restaurant space is plain- could be dressed up

We stopped in after strolling around town. We sat on the patio and it was beautiful the old charm of the building was excellent and the brick wall provided a nice buffer from the street. On Sunday they only offer brunch and they close early. The French toast was thick and had great flavor. We thought it could use less of the fruity pebble cream but overall it was good. We also ordered the chicken sandwich which was very delicious. The sweet and salty of the old bay honey paired really well. We also ordered several different cocktails and they were all delicious. I will warn you that the lobby had a very off putting smell, but the patio didn’t share that smell.

This is a great date night spot. We were seated by the Christmas Tree and a window which added to the atmosphere. Every dish and drink was masterfully crafted and more importantly everything was delicious. Service was very attentive and helpful with any questions we had. On site parking which was pretty full but not having to park in a garage was nice. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful scenery in the outdoor seating era. My best friend had a birthday party here for her mother’s 65 and when I brought my mother along. We were blown away by the outdoor decor and seating. It was beautiful. Food however, not so much. Tip for kitchen staff, the burgers were way too salty and no flavor. Please revisit how the burgers are being seasoned. I ended up sending it back and got the porkchop. That was delicious. Staff was very attentive. The bill process definitely took longer than usual and this process could use some work.

Chef Christian is BACK and my foodie heart has never been happier. The soul and intention that goes into each and every plate tells a story that I am always eager to follow. We love the varied atmosphere (the dining hall, the bar, and the garden all have very unique vibes). The staff are knowledgeable and bring a fun element, and the bar drinks compliment the menu perfectly. This is my favorite place to eat in town- whether you want an excuse to dress up and splurge or just grab a chicken sandwich- this place hits the spot. Don’t sleep on the mussels, the chicken sandwich, or the crab cakes! I may or may not be guilty of sipping the mussels broth, 0 regrets, 10/10 recommend

One of my favorite parts of 7th Sister is the feeling of home mixed with secret garden on their outdoor patio! But, then I’m quickly reminded of the love for Chefs cooking!! Absolutely delicious. Flavor, technic and each bite is a treat. I enjoyed brunch this weekend and can’t wait to come back
Free parking lot is an added bonus!
Friendly staff.
Private rooms if you have a special occasion or just because!! A true gem of 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.
Not sure we are willing to try a second go around.
