The most accurate word to describe our experience here is slow. We were slow to be seated for our reservation and slow to pretty much have anything else completed for us this evening. The bar program had the potential to be good, had we'd been checked on more and been asked if we'd like more drinks. There were a total of 3 cocktails delivered to our table...the potential could have been about double that. A very solid beef carpaccio was delivered. Nice crostini and I loved the arugula salad as an accoutrement. Then for ages...nothing. One short rib en croute was then delivered and the person had enough time to eat 3/4ths of it before the last two entrees were then delivered. The mussels in green coconut curry broth with fresh baguette was actually good...but worth them going foraging in the harbor for them good? Questionable...Bouchon's moule frites in Napa and Vegas are far superior. The surf & turf...scallops and short rib were so small, it was served on a salad plate. Now if it had been phenomenal, it would have been excused but it really wasn't. The team was kind and apologetic, however it was not the experience we were hoping for. I grabbed a chocolate pôt de crème to go and once you get past the curdled bit, it was a rich and silky dark chocolate pudding.

What an unforgettable meal! Drinks were amazing and served in fun glasses. Garlic bread is a must, one order easily serves 3 people. The menu is small and changes often but everything is great! Order a bunch of things and share. Our waiter was funny and attentive and added to the experience! You can request a reservation via email or walk in.

In town for a conference and stumbled upon Peter's Inn thanks to some recommendations on Reddit. We loved every single thing we had, but the absolute best part was the pot du crème for dessert with a French press cup of coffee. Our host was very friendly and seated us quickly even though we didn't have a reservation (we got there around 8). Our waiter was very cool. Not overly chatty, but in a good way. He gave us some recommendations on the menu when we asked for them and he would check on us in passing with just the right amount of involvement. Vibes were good. It's in an old dive bar and still feels pretty organic/authentic. It could easily be pretentious about the farm-to-table food, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. Lots of nice little touches (cantaloupe piece in the water, sugar stick and a biscotti piece with the coffee, etc). We'll try to come back here anytime we're in Baltimore.

Went here for the first time with my husband for Valentine's Day which fell on a Wednesday this year. They are normally not open on Wednesdays so I was pleasantly surprised that they were open for the holiday, as I'd been wanting to try them out. Reservations are only through email- no restaurant land line so you can't even call if you wanted to. This is fine as long as you make reservations ahead of time. I had trouble with the email link on the website and had to text a friend that frequents this establishment for the email address. The place was full so it's clear they have a loyal local following and have no problems with this method. Kind of gave a secret speakeasy vibe. Food was a 4/5. We ordered the house salad and garlic bread for appetizer. Both were delicious and came quickly. We had to wait a substantial amount of time for our steak entrees to come out and they were both, unfortunately, overcooked. The mashed potatoes and veggies that came with it were just okay, nothing special. I was excited about the steak because the reviews hyped it up, but for $50 I was hoping for better. For dessert, we got the chocolate pot du cream which was the best part of the whole meal! It was decadent and decorated with special Valentine's Day themed macarons and candy hearts. Service was 5/5. Waiter was visible and prompt with our orders and very kind. Everyone that works here seems to have worked here for a long time, which speaks volumes for the ownership. Atmosphere 5/5. Even though this is more of a fine dining menu, the ambiance was very laid back. Almost felt like I was dining at a friend's house. It was cozy and our tables were really close to one another but it wasn't a problem. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back to try the rest of the menu!

I've been in Baltimore 5 years and somehow I have never eaten here until recently. It is small and kind of dark, and very intimate. Our waiter got us water and our drinks right away. If you are thinking about the martini service, just do it. It's so good! My husband isn't a big martini drinker but even he liked it. Dollar for dollar, your best bet! We ordered the oysters with caviar (perfect with the martini!), the house salad, a salmon pasta, a short rib pastry, and their signature dessert. Everything was delicious! The staff was attentive, the drinks were great, and I can see why this is a Baltimore staple. If you've never been, this is your sign to make a reservation!

A speakeasy for food. That's the best way to describe it. Food- everything 5/5 I ordered trout pate and tuna tartare for an appraiser, and they were absolutely scrumptious and perfectly plated. For my main entree, I got the short rib Wellington, and that was also truly scrumptious. The sauce that went on it was perfect. And to touch it off, i had a delicious chocolate mousse birthday dessert. Service - 5/5 My waiter was extremely friendly, funny, and overall charismatic. He provided a lot of great dialogue throughout the dinner. All the other staff who came by were very generous too. My only complaint was the lack of water glass automatic refilling. Ambiance - 5/5 A speakeasy for food. It's a narrow building that used to be a biker bar, turned into a lowkey establishment for food and drink. The paintings are very classy on the walls. Great hidden gem. I WILL be coming back very soon!!

I had dinner at Peter's Inn with my husband and a friend for her birthday recently. It's one of her favorite restaurants in the city, and she chose it for her birthday dinner! The menu at Peter's Inn changes all the time. When you arrive, you receive a handwritten menu with their offerings that day. So most of what we tried might not be on the menu anymore, but here's what we ate: an endive salad; tuna tartare; a NY strip with mashed potatoes, a few green beans, a carrot, and a pickle spear; their creamed spinach; a lobster pot pie; a mango sorbet; a lemon sorbet; and a chocolate pot de creme. I wouldn't say that any of the food was very memorable except for that creamed spinach (they add Pernod, which gives it a great flavor); I was skeptical when our waiter recommended we ordered the creamed spinach (it's not usually very good, is it?!), but it was the standout for me of the whole meal. I do like the menu and would be willing to go back to try more of their food - mostly because the rest of the experience was a standout for me. The ambiance and the service were exceptional! We sat at a table outside, which was perfect. The seating is in front of the restaurant on the sidewalk, so it couldn't feel more like a neighborhood bistro! And our waiter was just wonderful; he was personal, funny, chatty, helpful,...he was just great. And it was clear he loves Peter's Inn. On my first visit, the food didn't blow me away. But the experience did. I'll be back. A wonderful neighborhood spot in the heart of Fells Point!
