Antrim 1844 Smokehouse restaurant

The finest dining experience in the Baltimore metro region is without question Taneytown's Antrim 1844 Smokehouse. Pulling up to the historic plantation mansion, every aspect is special. Dinner guests spend a half hour in the parlor, being served passed hors d'oeuvres and the cocktail or wine of their choice. It's like a private party! Then, you are led downstairs to the original smokehouse decorated with portraits of Civil War generals. Antrim is only 15 minutes away from Gettysburg, after all. Chef Spencer Wolff is new at the helm, taking the menu in the direction of Contemporary American cuisine. With the melting pot that America is, that promises to have lots of potential. Dinners are prix-fixe 6 courses that you can pair with wines. Their wine collection is known to be one of the best on the East Coast. For a $400 wine purchase, you can dine in the wine cellar.
