Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Germantown

Always a great experience. The crudo is a must! Each time we go we get a unique bite with bold flavor profiles and a new twist on simple classical ingredients.

We enjoyed Pelato. We took out 10-year-old so it was great being able to order tapa sized portions so we could all try lots of different things.

We have tried to get back into City House many times, but we could never get a reservation. So I made a reservation two months in advance and got in! It was EVERY BIT as good as we remembered. The service and the food are absolutely outstanding. We ordered bottle of wine, so it was an expensive night. But it wouldn't have to be too costly if you weren't drinking. We ordered both the cabbage salad and the mozzarella salad. I don't know how they can be that good. The cabbage salad is unbelievably flavorful, and we actually asked for the recipe for the dressing - and they gave it to us! My husband and I each got pizza's and they were outstanding. I got the mushroom and fennel pizza. It was fantastic. We ended the night splitting the panna cotta, which was also excellent. Our server was friendly and very attentive and helpful, without being overbearing. He really made it a delightful evening. We decided we're just going to start making reservations a couple months in advance so we can get back to City House several times a year. It's just too good not to go back soon!

We had a fantastic server! She was very attentive and kept our time constraint in mind throughout the meal

Butchertown Hall was amazing while they hosted my group of 15 for my bachelorette party! Food and service were top notch! Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my group!
