Located on the Historic Georgetown Circle inside the Brick Hotel. The Counting House brings local farmers and fisherman to your table
Photos by MiGGY B.
In the space previously known as the the Brick Hotel and Restaurant, we opened the Counting House in August of 2018.
Our goal is to be bold and unwavering in our mission to serve the freshest food with passion and humility.
Using locally-sourced ingredients, the Counting House strives to bring sustainability to your table. Our commitment is not only to our guest, but to local famers and fisherman who depend on local businesses. We want to showcase regional ingredients and flavors to those visiting the area and those making their homes here.
