I went to Peter’s Inn last night with a friend who just moved to Baltimore a few weeks ago. It’s a great place to introduce a new resident to Baltimore’s quirkiness and creative food offerings, all at the same time.

And I didn’t even realize how quirky until I went to the ladies room. But that was later in our meal. The Fells Point pub was packed, but we managed to snag a table next to the bar. The menu, as always, was inspired. Chef/co-owner Karin Tiffany never disappoints.

The seafood threesome—shrimp, scallops, and king crab—was beautifully plated and delicious, and the seared tuna melted in our mouths.

Before we ordered dessert, I headed to the ladies room, wedged next to the kitchen door. So far, so good. But once inside, I saw the scale. Yes, the kind you weigh yourself on. It’s bad enough to face one at home but during your meal!

Back at the table, I sadly passed on the Belgian chocolate pots de crème and Key lime tart. The French press coffee was a satisfying finish. But I'm sure the desserts were even better.
