Great steaks and, unlike Ruth's Chris next door, they let the steaks sit after cooking -- makes all the difference in the world. Great potatoes and asparagus and I've always had wonderful service. The place has plenty of very dark areas -- you can read that as "intimate" or "poor lighting." I prefer a bit more light. It's also a... More

We are from Michigan and were in town with extended family hosting our son's commissioning from the U.S. Naval Academy celebrtion dinner at Lewnes. Our dining experience exceeded my expectations. The service was attentive, friendly, professional and our steaks excellent. My three brothers all commented that their steaks were on par with Ruth's Chris. We ordered 1/2 size salad servings...

Time to celebrate my daughter completing her first year at USNA! My wife mentioned this restaurant received outstanding reviews (other websites), so we made reservations. We like to support local establishments and were happy to try Lewnes. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to other restaurants in the Annapolis area -- especially the competing establishments within a short walking... More

Friends shlepped down from Delascare to celebrate our new house in MD at this place. Old fashioned, quaint interior. Service very good. Food . . . meh. My sirloin strip had absolutely no taste, a fair amount of waste. Boss (wife) steak was tasty. Friend's Boss ordered chicken (I know...) which she claimed was tough and dry. Young daughters split...

I keep getting dragged back here (“Let’s give them another chance …”) and I keep walking out disappointed at best. No more. Lewnes tries to ride the “local business” bandwagon, located as it is less than a block from Ruth’s Chris. I think they take the local thing too far and assume that their clientele is a bunch of drunken... More

Dark and gloomy. Very expensive and I left hungry. Poor value for your money. All dishes are a la carte and cost a fortune. Never again. I could have gotten 2 Cup of Noodle and been more satisfied.

If you want a private dinner with your loved one, this is a good place. The food was good and the atmosphere was soothing. The shrimp cocktail appetizer was shareable. We enjoyed the crab cakes and lamb chops (which were cooked as ordered). We ordered two vegetables to share. The asparagus were seasoned well and the mashed potatoes were creamy... More

One block away is an upscale chain steakhouse, but if you want a one of a kind Annapolis original then Lewnes is the better choice. My wife and I have been there at least five times and the quality is always present. Reservations are required on Saturday night, and the place is packed, but the service holds up to the... More

Another family meal during a get together and we were all thankful we missed another meal cooked by my sister in law who could serve as a WMD in the kitchen! Large restaurant spread among several levels and the host actually acccomodated our seating request. Appetizers were perfect and the salads were superb. The steaks were beyond belief although my...
