I’m looking for nice-ish but lowkey place that would be good for someone who is easily overstimulated by noise and lights. Bonus if there’s pescatarian and gluten free options! If there’s a stellar place outside of FP I’m open to it.

Casual but not in any way quiet.

Just went to Charleston for my birthday and was sadly underwhelmed with all the food, especially for the price.

Short rib risotto is so damn good.

Far from casual tho.

Peter's Inn is super tasty and ultra low key.

I vote for Peter's Inn, but as some people have commented, it's not totally quiet. However, I have never found it to be super loud either (although to be fair I don't have sensory issues).
Duck Duck Goose is usually nice and calm atmosphere, but beware that the food is stupidly overpriced.
Outside the city there is Lib's Grill (my all time favorite place) that has locations in Perry Hall and I think Belair. On weekend nights its super loud and crowded, but during the day it's very low-key and quiet and nice. Good for a quiet, tasty brunch. And they do have several gluten free options.

You can wear anything you want. My buddy went in basketball shorts. Most people will be dressed up but it is not a requirement.

I am also sensitive to light and sound. I have recently discovered that wearing earplugs most places outside my home has greatly improved my quality of life. It’s also significantly decreased the frequency of headaches I get.

I think you can also get them from Amazon

100% one eyed mikes. Quiet, low lights, with an intimate atmosphere, especially in the dining room (they have a bar and patio.) I would check out their menu before, as it is on the smaller side.
Edit: not sure about GF. I recall there being a few seafood options.

I went to ampersea and sat outside and it checked these boxes. May be a bit bright indoors from what I remember but would recommend overall

Might be a little physically crowded depending on how busy it is, but it is low key otherwise.
jupitaur9 t1_ivl5zop wrote
Yes, might want to ask to sit in the back room, or at the far end away from the bar.
cattimusrex t1_ivlj6jg wrote
True, OP could always reserve a table in the back room which is less crowded and quieter.

GF is celiac and One Eyed Mikes is also able to accommodate her w several options!

The most overpriced taqueria on that block? No thanks.
This morning I noticed that their Maryland flag is upside down too 👎🏽.

Your loss, man. Their food is awesome.

I haven't been myself, but Le Comptoir du Vin in Station North could potentially be a lot of fun! It's a small restaurant with a rotating menu (however, they're kind of inflexible for dietary substitutions). My friends did enjoy the food and experience a lot!
On the other hand, I was treated to a great dinner at Cookhouse earlier this year. We went late in the evening, but the restaurant was comfortably dark and not too noisy. Their current menu seems to have a number of gluten free entrees! Pricy, but a nice flex for an anniversary dinner.

Charleston is stellar and not far outside of Fells. Cost is $$$$, though. It definitely meets the low key requirement.
