Pete's has been a top fav of my hubby and I for many years. We can always rely on scrumptious food, dangerously good spirits, eye candy decor, and a fun wait staff. I highly recommend Peter's Inn if u like a small menu of inventive and comforting food that entices you to come back for more. One last thing, get the salad and garlic bread!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent place in Fells Point. Food was amazing and the service spectacular. I was referred by a local colleague as my fiancé was meeting me in Baltimore. The restaurant really made an impression. We started off with the buratta which was amazing. The tomatoes were slightly cooked giving it a nice complement to the soft creamy tasty buratta. The plate was also accompanied by Italian toast providing the dish with just enough texture. My fiancé ordered the pasta dish that included clams and chorizo. Truly a magnificent dish. I had seared scallops with black lentils. The best prepared scallops I've eaten. We paired all this with a Chilean Cabernet (too cold for white wine). Service was top notch. Made you feel at home or at least as a regular. Will visit this place again. read more

A hidden gem a bit farther out from the usual haunts in Fell's Point, but well worth hunting down. The menu changes all the time, but the dishes we had our evening were marvelous. The fact the restaurant takes no reservations is a challenge, but the food is the reason people wait in line. read more

Terrible food, terrible service, terrible atmosphere. Please don't go there... ...because I'm tired of having to wait on a table. Hopefully that helps ward off the tourists because this is possibly the best restaurant in Fells - placing it high on the list of best in Baltimore. I could go on about the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the staff, but the 80 four and five star reviews already nail why this is a local favorite. A better measure is looking at the reasons for the lower reviews. Is it hard to get a table? Yes, because the place is always packed. Is it sometimes slow? Yes, because the place is always packed. Is it expensive - I personally don't think so but if they are it isn't hurting business because the place is always packed. Small menu? That's kind of the point which is why the place is always packed. Get there early, or better yet, just sit at the bar where you'll get the same menu without the wait. read more

Great food and bartender crafted an extraordinary Avion cocktail with fresh muddled fruits and berries. Awesome experience.

Solid food; needs service upgrade. Wine list by the glass is superb.The menu is straightforward and basically has one or two choices from each category; fish, shellfish, meat, chicken, veggie, etc. A little pricey, but not out of control. Worth the wait. read more

As a Bmore newbie, I was way excited to go to Peter's Inn. However, the experience did not matched by the expectation. Most of the food was delish! My father loved the cheese grits and was pleased with the 4 oz filet portion. My mother had the lobster ravoli which was served cold and overcooked (the rims were tough). I had a lamb dish and it was good. What makes me give the 2 starts was the HORRIFIC service. We wait nearly 60 minutes for our food. I was starving at the time so this may have an influence. My father order coffee and my mother decided to share and we could not get the server to stop to ask for a coffee cup for her. I was disappointed by the experience. read more

The best restaurant in Baltimore by far. The menu while short and changing is magnificent and they are in no way pretentious as some finer restaurants are. If you are looking for an excellent meal, atmosphere and overall good time, this is your spot. read more

Based on the yelp reviews, Peter's Inn was a sight unseen must during my 72 hours in Baltimore. Karma was in our group's favor as we ventured to fells point for dinner. A parking space opened and we arrived at Peter's Inn just before 8pm. The door opened ontop of a FULL dining room & bar. Our group was promptly greeted by the staff & assured a table within 15 minutes. The decor and vibrant energy made the wait fly by. We were seated near the back of the restaurant, which turned out to be a pleasant less noisy spot. Wednesday is wine night! 1/2 price on a selection of wines listed on the weekly menu. The menu is limited but diverse. I don't think you could order a disappointing meal at Peter's Inn. I ordered the salad & bread as a starter. A MUST! It is a garlic indulgence. The crusty bread is fresh & the salad dressing satisfies every taste bud. Our table's main meals included pei mussels, shrimp & grits and a beautifully constructed beet salad. We could not keep our forks to ourselves! Every dish was full of flavor. We could not resist the pumpkin pot for dessert! Amazing! Creamy, light & smooth. If your a pumpkin pie fan, this is a must. Our table was attended to on a regular basis throughout our dining experience. The staff was on the ball, superb & friendly. What a treat to have one member of the culinary duo chat with us at the table. Overall, a memorable meal in Baltimore! Thank you. read more

We were excited to try this place because of the positive reviews. Arrived at 6:15 to find the place already full. Got 2 seats at the bar which was fine. The service and atmosphere were great but unfortunately the food did not live up to the hype. I had soup that was close to cold, the pasta dish and tuna main course were nothing special. I think because they open at 6:30 the kitchen is slammed right from the start so it makes it hard on them. read more

Baltimore Personified! Warm Friendly Locals Restaurant! Located in Fells point at South Ann Street is this small friendly Baltimoreans hang out. Has a total capacity of about 50 people. A total of 40 can be seated to very small tables. The walls are decorated with all types of memorabilia from the local area. We arrived on Wednesday evening about 6 PM only to find by 6:30 PM the entire establishment was filled. The kitchen doesn't open until 6:30 PM and your dinner would arrive by 715- 7:30 PM. We were advised of this in advance so plan to have drinks. Wednesday is half-price wine night. The menu is written on a whiteboard and handwritten pieces of paper. Our cutlery arrived in small paper bags along with a salad and garlic bread that was to die for! When I asked for the ingredients, I told it was a secret unknown only to the owner who had the recipe. My wife had the pan-fried oysters and I had the grilled lamb chops. Both dishes were plentiful and excellent! If you plan to attend - arrive before 6 PM and try to find parking on Eastern Avenue. The restaurant is around the corner. (Parking is an issue!) The atmosphere is fun, warm and friendly. The food is delicious! The table are small and close together and none of the chairs match. The bar is in constant motion with people moving about. Everyone talks to everyone! It was a reminder for us of a small Greenwich Village Tavern where the "locals" lived within walking distance. This restaurant is a treat for some and not for everyone! We plan to return during our next visit to downtown Baltimore. Have fun! We did! read more

Peter's Inn is a great, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. They are constantly updating the menu, which means that you can always try something new. My boyfriend and I went there last night for dinner and I was compelled to write a review. The restaurant is somewhat known for their garlic bread and house salad. The garlic bread is good, but the house salad is where it's at. It has a perfectly balanced greek salad dressing. We shared the house salad (no bread). For my main, I had scallops with pumpkin ravioli, sage butter and lentils. AHHHHMAZING. My boyfriend had the rockfish and it was very fresh tasting. We don't normally get dessert but when they offered a pot de creme (similar to mousse) made from Whoppers (yes!), we had to get it. It did not disappoint in the least. Be advised that it is a small place and sometimes there is a wait, but it's worth it :) read more

6 of us stopped in on a Thursday. We chose to enjoy the beautiful evening by dining at a sidewalk table. We'd all eaten there before, and our taste buds were greatly anticipating our meals. The food was as expected- freshly prepared and delicious. Garlic bread and salad all around made a tasty start. From veggie-friendly to seafood to beef, all the entrees were awesome. Entree portions weren't huge (the garlic bread helps account for this), and the kitchen was a little slower than it usually is (something out of the ordinary must have been going on), but we'll definitely return to enjoy the creative rotating menu. This is a definite visit if you're looking for something off the beaten path. read more

Peter's is unassuming, hidden, and comfortable in it's own skin. Don't go here with a large group, it's a small restaurant with 20 tables or so. Make sure you order the garlic bread/salad it's a great way to start. My fiancé and I both got the petit filet; medium-rare and medium, both were cooked to perfection. The reasons to head to Peter's are: (1) new creative menu each week (2) people that care about your food/experience (3) it's as far from a corporate restaurant as you can get. read more

I was really impressed with Peter's Inn. My boyfriend and I got on this kick of trying different local restaurants in our neighborhood (we live in Butcher's Hill) and this place was a pleasant surprise. We ended up there on a Wednesday, which is half priced wine night, so that was already a plus. We sat at the bar because the wait was shorter and I think that's the way to go. I saw people wait for at least an hour for a table and while I love the food here, that's pushing it, even for me. We started off with mussels and garlic bread, both of which were delicious. I could eat a loaf of that bread alone and be completely happy with my meal. Fortunately, the delights didn't stop there. I had the fish (the menu is constantly changing) and it was cooked perfectly. Our wine complemented our meal nicely and the bartender was really cool. We chatted with our neighboring diners while we ate since the quarters are rather close, but everyone just seemed to be in such a good mood, it didn't seem like we were jammed up in there together. On my second trip to Peter's Inn, I went with my parents and we were equally satisfied with the meal. The portions are a little small and I can see how some might find it to be overpriced for how much food you actually get. In my opinion, the quality it so good and it's so rich that you don't need much more than they give you. We spent a long time chatting with the owner/chef and our bartender well after we had finished our meal. They made us feel incredibly welcomed and as if they were happy to provide us with a full dining experience, not just some food on a plate. The decor is kitschy and makes for a very laid back vibe even though the food is pretty fancy. I will definitely be back to Peter's Inn. Great food, great atmosphere, great times. read more

My favorite restaurant out of all the yuppie areas in Baltimore. The quality of the food here is on par with Woodberry Kitchen and Cunningham's. read more

Had a wonderful dinner. I got the scallops over a lobster risotto and it was tasty. My girlfriend got The blackened cod and it was delicious. The service and the atmosphere is great but if you're in a hurry don't stop by this place because this is a place that you relax and eat. We also had dessert which was amazing. It was some chocolate de crime I think. I've eaten here once before and it's always amazing. It's a little pricey so bring your wallet. But well worth the money. read more

I really wanted to like Peter's. It has a comfortable dive bar feel to it. The wine offerings were excellent. The host was very welcoming and let us sit outside to drink and wait for our table. Sigh. Once seated, that is when the charm was sapped right out of the room. My friend wanted to know if the the beef was locally sourced. The waiter answered that he was not sure, but then in a supercilious tone responded "it's not from Mexico" (!) , flounced off in a huff and never got back to us with a response, so my friend opted for trout. The choices on the menu are limited but for a bistro, not unusual. Salad and garlic bread, very tasty. Then the entrees arrive. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I have no problem paying a lot for food when there is true value to the purchase. The novelle cusine trend is over y'all! Entrees consisting of 4 scallops? One that was a cup of pasta? However, to give credit, the trout looked great. The bar would be the only reason I would come back. read more

one of THE best restaurants in Baltimore. it looks like a dive bar upon entry. seating is limited. bar seats are at a premium. no reservations. but take a moment and review the daily menu on the chalkboard. always fresh / local food. their filet is the best I've ever tasted, and the soups and fish entrees excellent as well. I'm a big fan of the house salad and cheddar cheese grits. the wine selection is also diverse and interesting. it it weren't always so crowded, this would be my local "Cheers" hangout. It almost pains me to recommend this place, as I know it will only create longer lines....but they deserve the attention. read more

They made me wait 10 extra minutes for overcooked fish while everyone else at my table ate...Sad

Most amazing food and mixed drinks. Service is quick and friendly and will be a regular. I have never had better Scallops and the chocolate dessert is something not to miss while in baltimore. read more

I went to pick my boyfriend, Juan, up from BWI today, and I figured we'd be hungry by the time he arrived, so I looked for "off-the-beaten-path" restaurants in Baltimore. In this research, I found that there's an adorable neighborhood called Fell's Point with lots of small restaurants and stores amongst cute row-houses. We got to the Kitchen at Peter's Inn and instantly I got a very friendly vibe. People were hanging out on the sidewalks with their puppies and friends and right outside the restaurant, they had set up a few tables for al fresco dining. As it was quite warm and humid today, we chose to sit inside - which turned out to be just as hot and humid since they didn't have air-conditioning on and they had the door open. The place was packed, but luckily they had one table open. Juan looked around skeptically and said "this looks like a pub." I felt the same way- the dining area was quite tiny compared to the roomy and long bar- which was lovely, but the vibe of the place was of a neighborhood bar rather than a restaurant with fabulous food. The menu was handwritten (they change weekly) and there was a copy of it written on a blackboard on a wall. There was a pretty comprehensive wine list - French, Australian, American, and Italian. The menu was diverse from duck confit to bay scallops to filet mignon. I picked the bouillabaisse and he chose the new york strip steak. The bouillabaisse was amazing with clams, mussels, calamari and jumbo prawns. The broth and rouille were fantastic with the toasted french bread. So good in fact, Juan ate most of it. The steak was juicy and tender and the mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Throughout the dinner we discussed how deceiving Peter's Inn was - our expectations were low, despite great ratings it received on zagat.com, but the food pleasantly surprised us. The decor is pretty fun - vintage hub caps, Christmas lights, nifty framed photos and paintings. The bar stools are all wood with back rests and look really nice and roomy. If I go back, I'd like to sit at the bar and hang out a while. If you haven't been, I suggest you stop in. By the way, they don't take reservations and the server told us that it's ALWAYS busy, and I believe him. Tasty tasty!!! read more

My parents flew in from Los Angeles to visit, and I took them for a late dinner at Peter's on the evening they arrived. It was my first time here, and our meal was excellent. We arrived around 8:45 and were seated promptly at a small but charming table out front. The waiter was attentive, well-informed, and conversational. He recommended a wine for my mother and let us take our time with the menu. We opted to share 5 dishes, and every single one was unique and outstanding. Roasted Peach Salad with fried goat cheese, pistachios, and some kind of pork: This dish was one of my favorites, the sweet and toasty peaches complimented the crunchy fried cheese and acidic vinegarette. That combined with the salt of the pork (it was some kind of fancy thick-cut bacon), made every bite luscious. Corn bisque with maine lobster: this was a cold corn soup with an herb oil and chunks of lobster. The broth tasted like summer with it's pure corn flavor. I did not snag a piece of lobster, but lobster added to anything has never been bad in my personal opinion. The Bacalao with tomato jam and caviar: Bacalao is a type of salt cod that is commonly served in Spain. Here it was made into a dip that had a fancier name that began with a "b". This dish was our most interesting. The bacalao had a smooth, mashed potato-like texture, with a salty fish kick and was topped with capers. We spread it over crusty bread, added a dab of the slightly sweet tomato jam, sprinkled on some of the caviar, and indulged. Fried oysters with fennel and spinach and a pernod sauce: This was my father's favorite dish. It featured fried oyster which were nicely complimented by fresh anise flavor of the fennel. While normally, I would have found this outstanding, I felt it was less exciting than the rest of the dishes on our table. Mushroom Risotto: While simple, I loved every bite of this risotto. It featured a wide variety of wild fresh and dried mushrooms, a perfect risotto texture, and a salty cheese flavor which balanced the umami of the mushrooms. Peter's is only a few blocks from my house, and I can seem myself going in almost any day of the week to eat a bowl of this comforting delicious risotto. While we didn't eat inside, the service outside was quick, the food was outstanding, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be returning, probably once a week. read more

We've been to Peter's Inn before and fell in love with this quirky notion of 5 star food served in a divey neighborhood bar. The food is among the best in town. So, we had a special family occasion and took our guests there with our highest recommendation. We ended up embarrassed. We had an awful experience, ruined by a completely inept server. She was totally missing in action. We had to hunt her down time and again for everything: a water refill, silverware, to order our food. This was a party of 5. The first appetizer was served 20 minutes ahead of the last one to arrive at our table. It took 1 1/4 hours to be served our entrees, several of which were cold. When this was brought to our servers attention the response was "what do you want me to do about it?" Really? Is this your first day as a server? Fortunately for us, a competent food runner was able to locate her at those times we needed service. The entire ordeal lasted 2 1/2 hours. Proof that one bad employee can do major damage. 3 stars only because we've had good past experiences here. read more

Would never go back for dinner. Apps and drinks yes. Paying full entre price for a venison chop the size of a lamb chop is ridiculous. Panko oyster app was more filling and delicious. Way too expensive to leave hungry. read more

consistently good food with pub atmosphere and interesting wine list.

I visit Baltimore frequently and trying Peter's Inn has been high on our list. Knowing how popular it is, we arrived at 6:30 (when the kitchen opens) last night to put our name in. We were offered an outside table or an hour wait -- no problem. We opted to wait (for interior ambience and because it was a bit chilly), left our number with the host, and went to a bar nearby. The host said, "you're on the top of the list." We didn't hear anything, so 90 minutes later, we came back. The host initially didn't recognize us ("You can sit outside or it's gonna be an hour"); then, when he realized I was on his list, he said "a few minutes" which, when pressed, he said was a half an hour. We reluctantly took the outside table, and he said he'd be right out. Starving, we sat there for several minutes before anyone came out to offer anything (menus, water, drink orders, etc.) Meanwhile, we saw several people who had just been seated. Even with a small place like Peter's and slow table turnover, there's no possible way we were "at the top of the list" and they didn't seat people ahead of us. Peter's Inn was recommended by locals and it looks adorable, but it seems like it's letting its popularity impact its service and how they treat people. read more

We were told that this place is tiny so we got to the restaurant about 15 minutes before the kitchen starts working to beat the crowd. Our group got seated right away in the inner section of the restaurant and it felt like a very cozy portion of a dimly lit living room. Our servers was very attentive and explained well what's on the menu. I had the blood orange liquor cocktail and it was made very, very strong... so strong that it lasted me through the whole meal which was nice. We had the plate of garlic bread to share and it was delicious. I had the seared scallops and lobster ravioli which was cooked perfectly but can use some sauce. My friends had the mushroom and corn risotto and the tuna nachos respectively and they both said it was good and cleaned their plates. We then had the chocolate pot de creme to share, which included fresh strawberries and macarons... we could have had another order because it was really good. Overall our group of four girls had a great time and I would definitely recommend it for date night or for small groups - but go early! Oh and my friends and I thought it was so cute they have a variety of hand creams and mouth wash in the ladies room :) read more

Good ambiance paired with well prepared, if simple, food and several sold-out menu items make this place "ok". One of the things I like most about this place is the feeling that you've been invited to some sort of secret tasting dinner. The place is pretty well hidden. It looks like an extension of the adjacent florist, with an unassuming red door with the name painted next to it. You enter and it's super small, but in a cozy sort of way. I had to look around and make sure I wasn't going to punch someone in the face when I put my jacket on to leave. We ate in the back, in what felt like a quirky Baltimoresque library--bright red walls adorned with portraits of historical looking stern old men juxtaposed against pop fiction novels on the bookshelves that lined the walls. The menu is hand-written and changes weekly. I understand the kitchen keeps inconsistent hours, and that people show up and wait for the kitchen to open. The servers mill around the bar and chat and drink as if they're in on the party too. All of this combines to create a real feel of exclusivity. We were lucky and had a minimal wait at 8:30 on a Saturday. Our waitress was pleasant and diligent. I assume they have a decent beer and cocktail selection, but you'd never know because there's only a wine list. When we inquired about beers the server made some suggestions in an attempt to suit our tastes, and we wound up with a good pick, but I'd like to know what else they have. I heard the bartender mentioning something about a drink that contained rhubarb bitters. Sounds like an interesting cocktail, one that I had no idea existed until I overheard the bartender talking about it. The restaurant is permeated with the aroma of their garlic bread. We ordered a slice each. It was delicious, but basic--how can you go wrong with basil, garlic, butter, and cheese? We also ordered a regular (i.e., always on the menu) appetizer, white asparagus with pancetta crumbles topped with an over-easy egg. It was good, but unfortunately for them, I had just had a similar dish (I didn't realize until I ordered it) at Corner BYOB, which was much more interestingly executed. I think it just sort of paled in comparison, even if it was good. When it came time to order entrees, they were out of the lamb chops--the most appealing item on the menu. They were also out of my second choice, a homemade pasta with wild boar ragout. My wife went with the scallops and bacon, and I had the tuna nachos, another regular menu item. Tuna nachos consisted of some beautiful sushi-grade tuna with a thin slice of beet and cucumber and a wasabi sauce on top all atop a fried wonton "chip". Not bad, but unremarkable. It was served with seaweed salad, topped with shredded beet. Pretty good, and a little different than your average seaweed salad. Also served with a cleverly presented half avocado filled with cubed beets and cubed tuna. Because they were both cubed, and the same color, you couldn't tell which was which, and it made for an interesting experience when eating it. My wife had the scallops and grits. The grits were served unceremoniously, without any embellishment. The scallops were perfectly seared, and served with bits of bacon (not enough in my opinion) and white asparagus, which, like the appetizer, was perfectly cooked. In the end, what you saw on the menu was exactly what you received on your plate. I like to be surprised when I eat out--at least to some degree--and was a little disappointed in the lack of complexity in these albeit well prepared meals. We overheard by the time we were getting our entrees that apparently my wife got the last scallop order--the third entree that they were out of before 9PM. I should point out there were only 10 or so entrees on the menu to begin with, two or three of which were vegetarian. In the end, a nice experience, with great atmosphere, and well prepared, if simple, entrees. Good, but not great. read more

Finally got around to trying out this place. Definitely get here early. They don't take reservations and it fills up fast! We were seated next to the men's rest room which wasn't so pleasant but oh well. Or service started out very slow but picked up once our server came around. We both started with the garlic bread and salad. People who think this is the best garlic bread they have ever had have clearly not gone out much, however, it was still good. The salad was a nice compliment to it. We both ordered steaks. They were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes were delicious also. Simple, but good. We would definitely return here again. Hopefully we'll snag a better table next time. read more

I recently ate at Peter's Inn for the first time, and I wish I had started going their sooner. The food is amazing! First of all- I love a little a restaurant that has character, although a small cozy place, when you walk in you can tell it's a hit with the locals. Their was a bit of a wait, I did not know they now take reservations but TIP- they do but just not the day of. We grabbed a drink and waited around the side of the bar. Luckily we didn't wait very long. We shared the red snapper ceviche which was great. We were looking for an appetizer that was fresh and light and this hit the spot. I ordered the petite filet medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The portion was the perfect size for me, 4 oz with a side of a few greens beans and mashed potatoes. My boyfriend orders the shrimp and grits and this may have been the best grits I've ever tasted! I would definitely recommend checking it out! So glad we went and we will be back for sure. read more

tiny and quaint. the vibe is great. staff is hardworking and the dishes are always tasty. i recommend checking out what people are ordering (because some of the dishes have very different portions). i always order the salad and the garlic bread along with my entree. read more

We walked in at 9:45 and asked for a table, they looked at the clock and said 'you barely made it' (apparently the kitchen closes at 10, although the bar stays open later). They gave us the only table that was open. We went on half-price wine Wednesdays, they had a selection of three wines that were 1/2 price for the glass or bottle. Although they had run out of the first wine on the list, we got a decent bottle of Malbec for $15. They had also run out of a few menu items that night. We started with house salads ($4 or $5, I think). Romaine lettuce with a dressing somewhere between balsamic vinaigrette and caesar dressing. Garlicky with a little bite of balsamic vinegar and black pepper, with grated (not shredded) parmesan cheese. Or maybe it was just caesar dressing made with balsamic vinegar? In any case, it was tasty. It was served with a think slice of soft, crusty bread that had been topped with herbed butter and cheese (mozzarella? provolone?) and broiled. Hubby ordered lobster mac-n-cheese with applewood smoked bacon ($12). Served in a funky asian-inspired bowl with two chive spears as a garnish, it was an interesting presentation. Hubby loved it. It had a very strong smoky bacon flavor that almost made the lobster an afterthought. Actually, considering that there were only one or two pieces of lobster, maybe it was an afterthought? The dish was good, but it almost erred on the side of 'dry and oily' versus 'rich and creamy'. Sometimes I have that problem when I make mac-n-cheese, and it probably didn't help that it was the end of the night. However, it was incredibly satisfying, and hubby says I'm too picky. I ordered the herb crusted lamb chops ($17). They were cooked perfectly medium rare. (I didn't even have to ask: they just knew that lamb chops are supposed to be medium rare!!) The herbs were mostly thyme and parsley, any stronger herb flavor would have been too much. The three chops were arranged in a heap and served with a red wine reduction that was excellent. The kitchen subbed a ramekin of cheddar cheese grits for mashed potatoes (without asking -- another 'last customer of the night' issue, I think). This was the second best part of the meal (and I usually hate grits!). The cheese grits were rich and creamy and delicious, and the slight corn flavor reminded me of polenta rather than grits. If the cheese sauce they used for the grits had been on the mac-n-cheese, it would have been the absolute best macaroni dish to ever cross my lips! A small pile of al dente steamed petite green beans completed the arrangement on the square platter. The best part of the night was the dessert. Chocolate pots de creme ($7.50) was served in a tiny ramekin. A thick drizzle of berry puree divided the square plate, and on the other side was a (surprise!) ramekin of cappuccino gelato. On one corner of the plate, there were also some dry, light, thin cookies coated with sugar and a hint of cinnamon; they didn't have much flavor, they reminded me of fortune cookie in flavor but a much lighter texture. The pots de creme was an incredibly dark rich chocolate mousse, with just a hint of graininess (minuscule grains of chocolate?). Two bites and we were full, but we couldn't stop eating. The cappuccino gelato was dense, flavorful, and not too sweet. The bite of coffee flavor contrasted pleasantly with the insane richness of the mousse, making each dessert better than it would have been on its own. This is the definition of synergy. This is a tiny little place, you walk up a small flight of stairs to get to the door. There is a large bar with about 8 small tables across from it, and a small back room with four tables. Cloth tablecloths but paper napkins and silverware served in paper popcorn bags, so nice but still casual. The menus are handwritten and photocopied. The bar had a small crowd: mostly they seemed to be drinking wine. The service was friendly and unrushed, and at the end of the meal, on the way out, the owners (I'm guessing, because he was on the cover of a magazine displayed in the restaurant) thanked us for coming in. read more

I've been going to Peter's Inn for about 10 years now. The food is always consistent, and very good. The menu changes on a regular basis, so it is tough to nail down a regular dish. While the food is always good, my two critiques are that the portions are too small, and that the prices are a bit high. There are no reservations taken here, so you just come, and take a seat at the bar if there are no seats available. It is a small, but very cozy joint. On my last visit, I spent 70 bucks for two of us, but was still hungry, and had to get a snack when I got home. Keep this in mind when ordering, and think about getting an appy to soothe your inner beast. read more

Belgian Chocolate Pots de Crem!! Whoa SO good. Definitely a local spot and if it wasn't for yelp, I would have never had the pleasure to visit. From the outside, it just looks like a dive bar. Do not be deceived. They do not serve ordinary bar food. Mussels and steak were amazing. From what I heard, the menu changes weekly. The menu seems limited, but read it through and ask your server if you have questions, concerns, or allergies. Everything is fresh and tasty. I couldn't keep my eyes off of everyone's dish. I could not make a decision on what I wanted. Everything looked and smelled so good. I was just visiting the area and the staff and patrons were extremely pleasant. This place is a gem. Drinks are pricy, but the one the bartender suggested was so strong it hit me like a tidal wave, but of course, delicious. He asked whiskey or vodka? I said whiskey and he surprised me. I can't remember what it was. He did mention half off wine by the glass and bottle, 3 different choices. I guess it is every Wednesday? Only thing that may become an issue, is the size of the restaurant/bar. We were here on a weekday around 7:00PM. There was one table open but it seemed to intrusive to the other guests to squeeze in, so we sat at the bar. The place is small, not fancy but comfortable, and it can be romantic (at least to me). This may not be a suit and dress type of place, but if you so happen to be dressed up, who cares, stop in and enjoy. This was the best food and drink during my Baltimore trip. Do not walk away if there is not a table available. I stayed at a hotel on the the opposite side of town and it was totally worth the trip. I'm so happy I didn't stop at the restaurant tourist traps by the harbor. read more

My friend and I wandered her neighborhood until we came upon this cute place on a corner in a residential neighborhood. We sat at one of the few outside tables and shared an oyster soup (YUM) and the petite filet with melted bleu cheese and carmelized shallot. It wasn't a large portion but we only wanted a little food. The whipped potatoes were excellent and the green beans were very crisp and fresh. Bread would have been $2.50 extra, we were told, so we passed on that. The service was excellent, and the outside table was quiet and special. read more

Good food. Sweet atmosphere and feel. Friendly folks. Wait can be pretty long for your food.

My favorite place in Fells! Amazing food and service

Garlic bread and salad are a great way to start your dinner. You may need a few mints for the following morning! The lamb chop was cooked perfectly medium rare and the root veggies had the perfect taste and texture. The chocolate dessert with raspberry compote and salted caramel gelato was to die for. Outside dining made it a fun experience. Good place to go with great friends. read more

This is the first restaurant I have ever walked out of, and I actually still feel a little guilty, but I did at least pay for our drinks. My boyfriend and I had been looking forward to going there for weeks. We got there last night at about 8:45. It's a tiny restaurant (And when I say tiny, I mean, you're crammed in like sardines - At one point, we considered putting our water on the floor because there was no room on the table for anything), but we were able to sit right down when we got there. We ordered some wine and the Parker rolls with bacon jam (these were amazing). Our server stopped by and asked if we knew what we wanted and we said we needed a couple more minutes to decide. Well a "couple more minutes" turned into about 25. No big deal, I get it, there were only two or three servers and he was busy. We eventually ordered a NY strip medium rare and the Tagliatelle pasta. And some more wine. By now it's about 10PM, and all the other tables in this tiny restaurant have their food - Except us. They finally bring out the pasta. (JUST the pasta.) It was lukewarm and I'm 99.9% sure it was Ragu sauce from a jar. If it wasn't they need to hire a new chef stat. We wait another 5-8 minutes or so, and my boyfriend's steak never came. So I put some money on the table for the wine and we walked out. The waiter chased us down the sidewalk to confront us and said the reason it took so long was because we ordered an appetizer and didn't know what we wanted immediately. No apology. So that was awkward. So, so disappointing. read more
