I finally have a chance to write a review of Peter’s Inn in Fells Point. What a fantastic find! Another couple took us to this tiny restaurant in Fells Point on a Saturday night. It’s on a quiet street that harks back to what Fells Point was like in the late 90s when I worked down there. Today, parts of the area have become gentrified and destroyed some of the character that made it my favorite area where I’ve ever worked.

Peter’s Inn is a tiny little place that has about 10-12 tables, takes no reservations and has a fresh menu every week. While it fills up, the staff are really cool and took our cell phone number to call us when our table was ready. We headed down to The Wharf Rat, a place that epitomizes the neighborhood bar feel and is one of only two places in the U.S. where I’ve been that actually felt like an English or Irish pub. [The other was Johnny Foley’s Irish Pub in San Francisco.]

Once we were seated, we dug into a fabulous wine list, menu and Michael and I even sampled a pint of Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. Yum! Later on, we turned to a gorgeous Languedoc red that went with everything we sampled. The portion sizes vary, with one or two items being a full meal, and the others being more like a tapas-sized serving. We ordered a bunch of different plates and sampled each others. There was a yummy tuna tartare, a briefly seared, thinly sliced beef filet and more delicacies. Michelle & I each ordered an amazing shrimp and chorizo sausage over chedder cheese grits. Yep, I said grits. It didn’t sound too appetizing, but, O.M.G. that was the yummiest meal. And, it was the perfect portion.

Since the restaurant is so small and intimate, it’d make a great place for a romantic evening. It’s also perfectly suited for two couples to have a memorable evening.
