Smithsonian Cafe And Chowderhouse

We chose Smithsonian Catering for our wedding reception buffet-style dinner, and Peter and his team were a pleasure to work with. Everything Peter suggested for the menu was delicious, and we felt more and more confident in our decision to work with them as time went on. They even surprised us with a seafood platter that was absolutely delicious. Peter and his team provided us with a fruit and cheese table for appetizers, chicken marsala medallions, baked squid with seafood, grilled vegetables, Caesar salad, tomato mozzarella salad, and helped us create a custom dessert table with cupcakes in various flavors such as Andes mint chocolate, cookies and cream, apple cider vanilla, and a tiramisu cake. Everything was delicious and everyone at the reception enjoyed the food. Peter was down-to-earth, transparent about costs and any changes that needed to be made, and overall fantastic to work with. We highly recommend Smithsonian Catering for any event. They were fantastic and helped make our special day even more memorable. P.S. Peter is open to creating custom menus and has experience with creating multicultural menus, which was a thoughtful touch that we appreciated as an interracial couple.

I always look forward to coming here, delicious food and excellent service.

The seafood chowder at this restaurant is incredible. My wife and I make a special effort to come here just to have it.

Smithsonion chowderhouse serves delicious meals of all kinds!

I ordered a fried scallop dinner and a baked scallop dinner to go for my boyfriend and I for my birthday. Both dinners were absolutely delicious. I've never had anything but wonderful food and service from here. Highly recommended! You guys made my birthday!!
