Passed "Our House" while running through Locust Point about a week ago. I was on the other side of the street, and the extremely welcoming vibe pulled me in. Place sticks out like a sore thumb next to the vacant lots and row homes of LP.
Best atmosphere for a restaurant I've been to in years; every table set is different, I think there was a fireplace, and the place is decorated with a very "home for the holidays" feel to it (if that is a welcoming, comfortable, happy experience for you. If not, it's the opposite of that.). Diane, the owner, was very talkative, friendly, and experienced in the restaurant business. They just opened in October. I don't think they have a website yet.
I didn't try anything (I was running and had no money or cards on me), but I highly recommend the couples checking it out. They serve appetizers, salads ($7-$10), pizza ($9-$13 for a 10"), pasta ($7-$10), and have a great selection of bottled and canned beers that you can peruse and serve yourself with (like the refrigeration section of a grocery store, except more formal somehow). I would not hesitate bringing a date here as long as that person was open to a new kind of experience; I don't think it's your typical "waitstaff" sorta place. Diane tried explaining the ordering system to me and it somehow involved playing cards...for the servers...to find your table? Naturally, I pretended I knew what was going on but had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Psyched to try it out in practice. I can't overemphasize the fantastic vibe I got from this place. Hopefully their food matches up to their feel.
