Press Room - Shepherdstown, West Virginia

This place is such an absolute gem. There is plenty of onstreet parking located out front. I recommend making reservations to be safe, doing so will ensure you get the best seating in the house! The prices are impossible to beat. Where else can you get a massive steak for $26? The flavors are incredible and the menu is so simply yet so creative. The whole experience was great and we both enjoyed our plates! Will definitely come back

Stumbled upon this gem in Shepherdstown the other day, the dining area was busy on a Saturday evening which is to expected, however the bar area is full service and is first come first serve and a group had just cleared out as I was walking by. Must have been divine intervention by the foodie gods!

I was welcomed by the bartender who I believe was named Susie, she was very welcoming and attentive to all of her customers' needs the entire duration of my visit. I ordered the 16oz Ribeye special(I was hungry) and paired it with the red wine pictured in this post. Wonderful pairing, with the steak that I ordered medium rare and came out cooked to perfection.

Amazingly, I still had room for dessert and the lavender creme brulee (also pictured) was a great finish to the meal. Compliments to the chef! Also, the pricing was very reasonable for the amazing fine dining experience that is provided here. I highly recommend The Press Room for a solo food adventure or for a date night!

Been here 2 times for work lunches and it might be one of my favorite spots. I'm upset I didn't find them sooner. Oysters have been amazing both times (they have this vinegar with picked onions that you drizzle on top paired with horseradish and ooooh my lord!) I haven't had anything I haven't liked yet.

We made reservations ahead of time (highly recommend and must call). Our server was Shelley and she was very friendly and on top of our needs. Ordered the Balsamic grilled salmon which was absolutely delicious 😋. Order the Lavender creme brulee!!!

A friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! We called to make reservations, and the beautiful table was waiting for us when we arrived. The food was fantastic! The hanger steak and lavender creme brulee were to die for! And fresh bread kept on coming! Service was great, too! Worth the hike, for sure!

This was an incredible dining experience. Everything was perfect, from speaking to the maitre d about how I was dressed, which he was fine with me being in shorts and a nice Tshirt, to the appetizers, entree's and the desserts. Bela was the most professional and cordial server we could've asked for, she is definitely an asset to this establishment. Grilled shrimp appetizer was delicious as was the potato and leek soup of the day. Grilled scallops over risotto was superb as was the special of the day which was haddock in an incredible cream sauce. Panna cotta for dessert is a must and they better not take that off the menu. This restaurant is a must do if you're in the area. And a big thank you to all the staff and chefs, you are doing an amazing job, keep up the great work.

Been regular patrons to the Press Room for years now. Probably the most consistently good menu out of all the restaurants we dine at. Wait staff is kind and friendly. Only thing we would like to see differently is for us to be able to finish our salads before dinner arrives. This has happened multiple times in previous visits. Patience is a virtue 🙏🏻

Came in tonight between movies at a film festival going on at Shepherd. Bartender was 100% spot on- killer service. Not pretentious at all, but certainly knew her stuff. Food was on point. Fresh oysters. Perfectly cooked steak. Bomb red wines by the glass. Couldn’t ask for more. If only my neck of the WV woods had this place… (well then I’d be broke). 10 out of 10. Don’t think twice- just eat here.
