We tried J Peters out on a Wednesday at lunch about 1 week ago and enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere is nice. The server was really good and very attentive. The food was average, nothing really special. We ordered the fried shrimp appetizer that has a spicy, but not really hot sauce. It was good and went well with our IPA. We also ordered the she-crab soup which was so-so. It arrived at our table luke warm and for my taste could have included more sherry. Maybe the servers could offer a shot of sherry on the side for those who would like it.
We will definitely try it again and maybe try the baby-back ribs, a burger or a steak. The patio is very nice with a view of the river, so we'll definitely try to sit out there next time.
