    Bang bang shrimp
    Rumesh V.

    This is one of my go to places post golf. This place has more of a sports bar vibe with many tvs showing sports and a nice pool table to get some fun round of pool. Food and drinks are great for a sports bar in the country side. I ordered medium rare cheese burger with side of tots. Tots were nice and crispy. Burger was very delicious and made to perfection. My husband ordered crab cakes and he said he loved it. Although not a crab season but it met his expectations. We are not picky about drinks when we go to sports bars. We often order ipa or lager on the tap. Service was great. They often check on you to see if everything was good. Pool table was a nice plus to this bar. I love playing pool so I am looking forward to going back again when I am in this area.

    Not worth a second visit. The owners had their parking at front door while handicapped and veterans had to go around their trucks. Bartender was overwhelmed, almost finished my beer before we could order. He for burnt bacon wrapped scallops. I had the joy of hair in my shrimp. We got burgers thinking they couldn't mess that up.....they did! We ordered medium, got rare. Got our bill....$3.55 meal tax. WTF?!? Never heard of that. Next time I'm only tipping on the food not all the extras these places add. Also no apologies for hair in my food. Teach your staff to wear hairnets in the kitchen.

    Interesting local spot. One side is the bar area which does allow smoking. The odor does carry over slightly into the dinging area but not terribly. Plenty of food options for all. Chicken tenders are big, juicy and flavorful. Chicken Philly was very good as well, very good portion of chicken. Shrimp Po boy(fried) was yummy. Burgers were good but not cooked as requested. Onion rings were thick cut and tasty. Service was okay, it seemed like we had a waitress switch at some point, we all had empty drinks asked for refills and received room temperature water (no ice). We were in around 4pm and were the only ones dining in the dining section and it took a good while to get our food. We tried the key lime pie and strawberry cheesecake crunch for dessert. Both tasty, key lime pie was very tangy which is different but still good. They do have different menu options for dinner which had even more options that sounded worth trying. Also had daily specials. Overall it was a good experience and would return if we are in the area.

    Fantastic food!! While I expected the steaks to be phenomenal (and they were!!), I was blown away…read moreby the four sides that were so well seasoned. Service was professional and on point. Our server was magically there when we needed him, but he allowed us the space to enjoy our food and conversation uninterrupted. Came here to celebrate my spouse's birthday, and it was the perfect balance of romance, celebration, and an elevated evening. 10/10

    Our second visit. Average food for a what is supposed to be a classy steakhouse…read more Location- very tough to find parking. No valet. Atmosphere- Old but well kept. You get a nice warm feeling there. A very large place. Love the entrance, is has a very nice bar. Food- Very pricing for what was ordered and brought to us. The shrimp from the shrimp cocktail tasted old and a bit chewy. My crab cakes had very little lump crab for $50. The server told me that they would be top notch. Wife's petite filet was good. Side dishes had to be sent back because they were warm. Wine selection is large and varied. My old fashioned did not come with a large ice cube, so I reprimanded the server and he changed it out. Classy places serve them with a large ice cube! Service- Felt rushed. Maybe they didn't have enough servers. Ours could have been a bit more matured and experienced. Their smocks need to be whiter. If you are wearing white, it needs to be white and not have that unbleached used look. Value- I don't see it. Stoney River is a better value though their atmosphere is lacking. Wait time- they sat us immediately. Food took a bit long we thought. All in all, disappointed. I went online earlier in the week asking for the best steakhouse in Md. and Lewnes was at the top of the list. We do not have an issue with spending money for dinner but if you are at a top notch restaurant, everything has to be top notch, right?! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29494-d523105-r1052264894-Lewnes_Steakhouse-Annapolis_Maryland.html#

    We arrived early at the restaurant at 11:45 a.m. due to the busy Mother's Day holiday. We were told…read moreto wait in the seating area or at the bar until our 12:15 p.m. reservation. At 12:25 p.m., the hostess informed us they were catching up on tables but that we would be seated soon. At 12:30 p.m., we were finally seated. Our waitress did not greet us warmly, make eye contact, introduce herself, or provide any information about the restaurant or menu. At 12:45 p.m., we ordered our food and drinks, and at 12:50 p.m., our drinks arrived. Around 1:30 p.m., we realized our food still had not come out, while other tables being served by our waitress were receiving prompt and friendly service. Our waitress passed our table four times without stopping to provide an update on our food or apologize for the extensive wait time. We were finally able to get her attention and politely asked about the status of our order. Without an apology or acknowledgment of our experience, she responded that she would tell the chefs to "rush" our order. We never asked for our food to be rushed -- we simply wanted an update because we had already been waiting far longer than expected. When our food was eventually brought out by another staff member, it was cold after nearly two hours of waiting. At that point, my husband asked to speak with the manager because not only was the wait time unacceptable, but the food was also cold. The manager eventually came to our table, apologized for the delay, and offered to discount the meal. My husband thanked him for the apology, but by that point, we decided the experience was not worth salvaging. We told the manager we did not want the cold food or watered-down drinks. Not only was our Mother's Day celebration ruined, but the lack of accountability from the staff and the poor customer service made the entire experience extremely disappointing. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

    I've been here several times for work events that I've hosted for my company. They have a large…read moreroom that will hold at least 20 people. The service we had tonight is the best I've experienced so far. Will is amazing. Very attentive, polite, genuine and worked with urgency. The food for me is about a 3.5 stars but the service from Will was 5 stars. I will say the best thing I had was the she crab soup.

    Where do I start?…read more We've been coming here for years. Years. Even supported this business who could give a crap about their customers dropping down hundreds of dollars during Covid. And the respond that I get when I make one complaint, "thank you for your feedback." Ive never disliked a business so much as I do right now. We came for a group dinner. First, I called ahead because it was a birthday. I said it was a birthday and they noted that. When I arrived, told the hostess. She said okay. The waiter came to us. Never told us his name, specials nothing. Just taking orders. The waiter started bringing out checks BEFORE offering dessert or coffee. WTH. So I had to go back out, find him which I never did, and tell someone else im waiting for dessert for a birthday. She sent the guy in. My check was about $400. I was livid. You have one job and you cant even keep up with it. If you cant, you shouldn't be working there. I contacted this place a day later. No response. Contacted them again and talked to Nazlie who was absolutely useless to speak to. I told her everything. 2 days later, nothing. Sent another message. This person responds with we take your concerns seriously, our apologies. Are you kidding???? That's the response I get?? I decided to try one more time and reach out to the GM. Even worse. It took Crowe 2 days to respond. I guess they are on their own time to respond. Just like with their service. He said he talked to nazlie and "everyone asked for their check at the same time". So the GM insinuated its the customers fault. You have got to be kidding me! I cannot believe that such a "fine" dining place like this would provide a response. You already got $400 of mine and now you respond with saying oh it was the customer. Note to self, there are plenty of other steakhouse. I will be more than happy to give them my money. Customers, you all should do the same. This place isnt what it used to be. Clearly new management, a new GM and servers that need training. Absolutely disgusted and disappointed in everyone at DC prime and mostly GM Crowe.

    Amazing place for a cozy, elevated dining experience!…read more First, they definitely nailed the retro-style ambiance. I liked how moody and refined the decor was, with the dark wood accents and super dim lighting, almost like I was transported to a secret lounge in the middle of Pike & Rose. Second, our server was very prompt to greet us once seated. He was patient and attentive as this was our first time and asked for recommendations. For appetizers, we got a seasonal burrata with strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños served with sourdough, and a separate order of wood-fired meatballs. The burrata was delicious, with a satisfying combination of fresh, sweet and spicy, and the meatballs were cooked to perfection! Our main meal included the bouboulina salad (with pecans, dates, and pears), the Maryland crab cake, the smash burger, and the wagyu picanha, all to share. Their standout was definitely the picanha since it was so flavorful and paired well with the flavors of the salad. I would definitely visit again for a special occasion :)

Place is so nicely decorated and very quiet during lunch. Our server, wish I remember his name, was the best. I think he was floored I was dining with my twin brother. lol. Always came to check in with us and refilled our drinks and was very charming. The food we had was cooked so well with great seasoning, I couldn't have been happier. I had steak the other night so I stuck with fish this time and it was flavorful with lots of butter too. Mashed potatoes was so creamy and tasty and buttery. It's almost like a puree. My brother had a steak and was cooked to his liking with a great char too. Highly recommend this new steakhouse; I believe it's from the Cava brothers who has two other restaurants in the same shopping complex.
