    Fish special
    Lee Ann S.

    This was a wonderful dining experience! The atmosphere is bustling. The restaurant is in a small, intimate old house. The food was exceptional. We had the smoked fish dip, the beef tartar, the scallops and a fish special. All were perfection! I can't wait to come back.

    Really unique restaurant in Baltimore. Great for an intimate date, not the best for a large group. Food: seasonal and rotating per the staff, they had a lot of variety with steaks, duck, and lobster options. We went with the duck and the veal pasta which was super tasty. We got the scallops and garlic toast to start (definitely a must). Scallops were cooked to perfection. Service: we sat at the bar, but overall the place is very small so expect to be sitting shoulder to shoulder with people. Drinks: have a great service of manhattan, martinis or cosmopolitans served with accoutrements. Definitely would recommend.

    I can't believe it took me so long to visit Peter's Inn. I've heard so many great things about this place and finally decided to book a Friday night date night here. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get a reservation for two on such short notice, and they were able to accommodate my request. Upon walking in, the space felt very tight and intimate. I was pregnant at the time and noticed it was quite warm inside, so I asked if we could sit outside. While that wasn't possible, they kindly turned on the AC, which made me comfortable for the rest of the evening. The service wasn't anything remarkable--nothing bad, but not especially warm either--which may have been due to how busy the restaurant was. The highlight of the night was definitely the food. We started with the bone marrow and garlic bread, and both were delicious. The bone marrow, in particular, had great flavor. For our main courses, my husband ordered the steak and I chose the shrimp lemon pasta. Both dishes were excellent--the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, and my pasta was flavorful and satisfying. Dessert ended up being my favorite part of the meal. I ordered the chocolate pot de crème, which was incredibly rich and tasty. I especially loved the addition of the macarons on top. Don't forget to try their martinis! My husband ordered the dirty martini and highly recommends it. Overall, I would definitely come back. It's on the pricier side, so it's best saved for a special date night every once in a while.

    The menu for the night

    We had a lovely time at Peter's inn! I had the 7oz filet with mashed potatoes and veggies and my friend had the Halibut with lobster bisque as the sauce. We both loved our meals. The steak was so deliciously crispy and salty I wish I could fit another one in my stomach! The ambiance is so cool here, it's a small place but super vibrant in the colors and design choices. The bathrooms are wild but in a good way. We sat next to a lovely couple who encouraged us to get the garlic bread and were so glad we did. Attentive staff and the owners were very nice and greeted us on the way out. Next time we're in Baltimore we will definitely be back!

    What a gem! Amazing place for date night or dinner with friends. Their food is unbelievable. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall, but inside it's just gorgeous. I knew I was in for a treat when they laid down a hand written menu. Can't recommend enough.

    Oysters
    Maura C.

    Loved it! I came here with my husband and we shared the garlic bread, salad, and oysters. All of it was awesome. For my main I got the short rib and he had the shrimp linguine. I know the menu here changes a lot, but these were both solid dishes! I loved the space too. Even though it's small, it's intimate and cozy and the hand written menu is honestly a really cool touch. You also can't beat a $15 class of Veuve!! I will absolutely be back.

    Martini service (bar)
    Kendra H.

    Service was fantastic. Accommodated our party without a reservation at the bar (which seemed popular!) so we were able to have a quick martini service and fun conversation. The hand-written menus were a nice touch. Will be back!

    On a special visit to see a Baltimore-based friend, we made a reservation for three people for 7pm and were seated right away. The restaurant is small, cozy and crowded with a buzzy vibe. Our server was very friendly and accommodated several special requests re dietary restrictions. There was a pretty long gap between taking our drink, starter and entree orders, conveying a relaxed, no-rush atmosphere. Imagine our surprise, around 9pm, as we were tucking into our dessert (not-to-miss dark chocolate pot de creme), when the owner walked over and asked if we were almost finished with our table as people were waiting. 10 years in NYC, 25 in DC, and I cannot recall more than one other time being asked to vacate a table, especially not after spending nearly $100 per person. The food was fantastic, and we even spotted John Waters on his way out after dining at one of the tables in the intimate back room, but not sure we can recommend. Our server apologized for the owner's behavior, but reminded us of her prerogative. What would you think?

    NY strip and potatoes

    Recently had my first experience at Peter's Inn and it did not disappoint. I went for a friend's birthday and wasn't sure what to expect (their website was a little lack luster), despite only taking reservations via email, my email was answered within an hour. They offer very quaint outdoor seating, which was cool considering the neighborhood. Host staff was very friendly and sat us promptly. In terms of environment, if you can't appreciate small and well utilized spaces where you might get the occasional bump, this might not be the place for you, but, we enjoyed atmosphere. It's a great mix of casual to business casual, the place itself has a great historic charm but still fairly moody for a great date night. Music was exactly what I enjoy; jazz that complimented the atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had great service from Noah. He offered to make anything even if we didn't see it on the menu. Cocktails were great and the wine selection didn't disappoint. I went specifically went specifically for the steak and the NY strip was top notch, perfectly portioned and prepared. If there was anything about the whole experience I would have changed would've been the vegetable selection (and I'm reaching to find something to improve).

    Belgian Chocolate Pot Du Creme
    Jayna H.

    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!

    Vanilla gelato with EVOO and fennel pollen
    Tia M.

    Peter's Inn is such a great local gem. The atmosphere is dive bar-esque, but the food is top tier. We love the personal touches, including the handwritten menus that change often. The braised beef short rib en croute is one of my favorites, and my husband couldn't stop talking about the vanilla gelato we had for dessert. They also have a nice patio area, and we hope to be able to dine outside next time.

    After seeing all the reviews and the Reddit recs I really hyped Peter's Inn up in my head. We tried to come here once but weren't able to because we didn't have a reservation, and that's when the obsession really took off. Every time anyone mentioned going out to eat I had the name Peter's Inn at the tip of my tongue. We finally made a reservation... and it was just kind of disappointing. To start, the space feels tiny - I bumped into the guy sitting at the table next to ours at least 5 times while trying to sit down, and I'm not a big person (if I say so myself). We couldn't really talk about anything because we had 4 other people literally within caressing distance and the music was loud. The table was almost too small to hold all the dishes and drinks we ordered too. And while I will say the food was generally well made and tasty, it wasn't really that special or worth the price in my opinion? Although I didn't like the tuna tartare or the pot du crème, which sucks because I really love that type of stuff. Obviously, a lot of people disagree with me, but it just wasn't for me!

    Kayla L.

    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.

While it was a little oily, it was still tasty and enjoyable. We order 3 rolls and the fried Oreos to go and while I recommend the Oreos and cheesesteak eggrolls, I can't recommend the sushi here. The spicy tuna tasted canned, and the trio roll was way too fishy. The volcano was the best, but also just okay. You also don't get any ginger with your rolls. I think this place is better as a regular bar, but for an advertised sushi spot, it doesn't have great sushi.

I asked him if this was the same sent back plate of food and he said "yes" and said the added the avocado. They UNWRAPPED the original wrap and just added the avocado and brought the entire plate back. I immediately questioned how that follows food handling guidelines. If they weren't going to redo the order, they could have just brought avocado slices to the table! The MANAGER had a very dismissive, RUDE attitude and so I sent everything back and left. I did tip the waitress cash because she was great and had got us drinks by that point. Again, she was nice and side-eyed the manager agreeing what he did was not acceptable. Apparently he also had a rep for being rude and nasty. I will never eat there again. You have a kitchen with seafood and meats and have no food handling controls? Yeah, miss me with the risk of food poisoning or cross-contamination. No thank you! You're rude to customers and have no standards? Whoever runs the kitchen should know better as should the manager. I can only imagine what else goes on in that kitchen. Dine there at your own risk.

He answered all my questions, stayed in communication, and really helped bring the whole vision together. We had close to 30 people for the dinner in one of their private dining areas, and when I say the staff was impeccable... they were ON IT. My friend had no idea where she was going, so this was a full surprise. Once we gave the staff the green light, they were ready and immediately started accommodating everyone. Everything just flowed from there. We did family-style appetizers, which I loved because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. Everything was flavorful and came out at the perfect pace. For my entrée, I had the salmon and it was so good. And listen... I hosted the whole thing, ate there that night, AND still had leftovers to take home. That's always a win. They were also super accommodating leading up to the event. I was able to drop off the cake and cake pops the evening before, and I was even able to decorate the private dining area, which made everything feel really personal. What could have easily been a stressful experience ended up feeling seamless. The restaurant atmosphere is beautiful. The private dining area worked perfectly for our group, and they even have an upstairs outdoor area as well as a downstairs outdoor space, which I didn't get to experience this time but definitely want to the next time I go back.
