We really enjoyed our dinner on April 28, 2026, after a brisk walk from our downtown hotel. The…read morewait when we checked in was considerable, unless we wanted to eat "at the counter". It turned out to be the highlight, sitting at the "Chef's Counter" by the pizza station on the covered porch. (We are foodies, and always appreciate an opportunity to sit at a chef's table.) It was a fun spot with a great view of the action and personal interaction with two very hard working pizza chefs. We shared the beet salad, which was a nice start, followed by the skirt steak, the fungi pizza, and grilled asparagus. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. We also enjoyed a very nice Tempranillo with dinner. Our server, Stephanie, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to have taking care of us. Overall, a very enjoyable meal in a great setting. We'd be happy to return.

Our server was attentive and friendly, and that's the only reason this isn't one star. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and the pepperoni pizza, and they were easily the worst pizzas I've ever had. The crust tasted like cardboard: dry, crunchy with no snap or chew, and completely flavorless. The pepperoni tasted like nothing. There was barely any sauce, and both pies were flat and bland from edge to center. I have never left a restaurant without finishing my meal, and tonight I didn't even try. The potato pancake appetizer was no better. It had a sour aftertaste that made us push it aside after a bite or two. I genuinely don't understand the hype. The staff deserve a kitchen that matches their effort, but based on this visit I can't recommend the food, and I won't be back for pizza.

Parking is always crazy for cars but I can attest parking boats in good weather is also a challenge. RRWB is small, they have outdoor seating, and it's one of those places that gets packed by default. Service was good. There was manager presence which was great but he didn't say hello to all patrons. He was quick to give a Navy serviceman attention, but missed out on saying hello to a young multi-millionaire patron.

We were immediately greeted and taken care of, which was a great start! The crispy kale was HANDS DOWN one of the best kale dishes I've ever had!!! It was so good that I'd honestly come back just for that alone. I also ordered the crab bucatini, which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and I loved all the different textures and flavors in the dish. I'll admit, looking at the menu, I initially thought this might be one of those overly hippie places that tries a little too hard, with a limited selection that doesn't necessarily look all that appetizing on paper. But wow, was I wrong! Don't let the menu fool you. This place is absolutely worth trying, and the crispy kale alone is reason enough to stop by! They also make their own soda! My one gripe is the "labor of love" tax. I'm not the biggest fan of these extra fees, especially when you're already paying for your meal and tipping. That said, the food was genuinely delicious, and I'd still recommend giving this place a try! Plenty of seating inside, outside, and at the bar!

The Ribeye was also good and cooked exactly as requested, although I wasn't a big fan of the accompanying sauce. We finished with the Coconut Panna Cotta. We also tried the Calm for a Cure charity cocktails. They were good, but a little on the sweet side for my taste. The service couldn't have been better. Our server checked on us without hovering, kept our water glasses filled, and brought the food out quickly. She really helped make the evening enjoyable. The restaurant was attractive and clean, including the bathroom. It was relatively quiet, with just a little noise from the bar, and comfortable for conversation. Dinner was a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it. One thing to be aware of: our bill included a 4% "Labor of Love" service charge for employee benefits, separate from gratuity.

The bar was loud and lively around happy hour, while the patio was much quieter and gave us a more relaxed place to enjoy dinner. I wasn't very familiar with the Italian wines, so I asked our waiter for a recommendation. He brought me a sample before I ordered a full glass, which was a thoughtful touch. His recommendation was excellent. My partner ordered the Pineapple Tiki Old Fashioned and she loved it. The filet mignon sliders were delicious. My Black Linguine Arrabbiata had a little spicy kick and was very good, with calamari, clams, mussels, crab meat, and spicy marinara. The one disappointment was the tiramisu, which neither of us cared for. Our waiter was helpful and attentive throughout the meal without making us feel rushed. Between the food, thoughtful service, and comfortable outdoor seating, we had a very enjoyable evening. The lively interior is a good option if you want more energy, but the patio was perfect for a quieter meal in the beautiful weather. We'd happily return, but we'd probably choose a different dessert next time.

The feta chunks neither added nor detracted from the dish. A dollop of mascarpone or ricotta would have given it an even richer, meltier finish. Heck even a whipped feta would've added more depth. The blend of meats was outstanding with a pleasant kick of spice, while the mellow, flavorful marinara had a thinner consistency that made it perfect for crostini dipping. Lobster RavioliThe sauce was unquestionably the star of the show. The pasta tasted homemade with a wonderful texture. Unfortunately, the lobster seemed either overcooked or not at its freshest, as it had a noticeable fishy flavor and a chewy texture. The fresh lump crab, however, made for an excellent garnish and added a bright, sweet contrast. Smoked Pineapple Rum Old FashionedThe pineapple-infused rum came through nicely, giving the cocktail great flavor. The smoke, however, was much more subtle than I expected. I knew it had been smoked because the bartender presented it with a plastic smoking device over the glass. I was anticipating the more dramatic wood-smoke presentation under a glass dome that I'm accustomed to. It was also missing the classic Luxardo or maraschino cherry garnish, and without any garnish at all, it felt like it was missing that final finishing touch. OverallWhile it didn't quite reach Feed My Soul status, everything was genuinely good. An added bonus is that it's within walking distance of Maryland Hall, making it a perfect stop before or after a show. ServiceFriendly staff and impressively fast service. The food arrived much quicker than expected.

I took my fiance to Harry Brownes, mainly for the view and its romantic atmosphere. When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to see how cramped it felt! We didn't sit inside since it felt like the person next to us could hear everything. We took a table outside, my fiance ordered the duck entree and I, the salmon. The duck had barely any meat on it, it tasted like really greasy chicken without any flavor, while the vegetables adorning it were over cooked, I would expect more even from a diner. Midway into our meal, another group of people sat outside, they had not ordered a thing, they were starting to get very loud and obnoxious, so I finally asked the waitress to see if they could leave(since they were not customers). They insisted they were waiting for the bar above to open and continued talking loudly as if they were the only ones for miles. Their loudness made conversation with my fiance impossible, it really ruined the entire dinner, I heard every single thing they saying, word for word. I felt justified to leave no tip, as the waitress could have asked them to be more respectful, or to simply move inside. I guess the promise of potential customers was more important than the satisfaction of a current customer. After I left no tip, the gray haired lady who welcomed us at the door,( Im assuming she may be the owner or some egotistic supervisor) chased me down the block and DEMANDED I leave a tip! I couldn't believe it! She was yelling at me and telling me it wasn't the waitresses fault, I ended up leaving a tip and being made a complete fool in front of my fiance when in reality I had every right to not leave a tip. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE is despicable, and downright UNJUST. I will never return to this restaurant--BOTH the FOOD and the SERVICE is disgusting. read more

Such a cute little place! My husband and I are gluten-free and dairy free (yes, that's difficult to accommodate) so there was only 1-2 things on the menu for us. They were very accommodating and let me know what I could have and the changes they would make for us. We ended up getting fish and steak with some beautiful vegetable sides. They took care of us! The service is great and the staff is knowledgable. I don't really "dig" the indoor atmosphere. It was a little dark and cold. I like "warm" and friendly. Luckily we were able to eat outside.. but got bitten by a bunch of mosquitos. Probably won't spend the money to go here again as we'd prefer a better atmosphere... but would recommend it for a great meal! read more

It is an icon in Annapolis, wonderful decor to go with this historic city and located at the state circle. Prices are very reasonable for the place. However, I was not totally impressed with the food -- they need to get a chef and cooks who can make food fresher and tastier. The fruit cup that came with my meal was minute and the home fries with my breakfast were "fried" instead of grilled and not fresh tasting. I'd love for this restaurant to get their food right and I will rate it 5 since the service was outstanding. read more

It was 4 PM when we arrived, wasn't very busy, so we decided to sit outside on the deck rather than inside. Each table has its own umbrella, which was nice because it did drizzle a little while we were eating. Our waitress was very nice and greeted us shortly after we sat down. She took our drink order. My wife had an iced tea, and I ordered the Upside Down Mule, a refreshing mix of Tito's, pineapple purée, and ginger beer. The drink was okay, but even though it was described as having pineapple purée, I really couldn't taste any pineapple. The funny thing was when I went to pick up the mug by the handle, the handle came right off! I mentioned it to our waitress, and she offered to get me a new cup, but I was fine using the cup without the handle. For dinner, my wife ordered the 1/2-pound shrimp, Baltimore style--onions, potatoes, Old Bay and butter, with an extra $3 charge. I ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake for $44, described as a fresh, no-filler jumbo lump crab cake. It came with fried Brussels sprouts and an additional side, which I chose as the Sweet Corn Summer Salad--charred sweet corn, confit tomato, fried black beans, roasted red pepper and cilantro over romaine lettuce, cotija cheese, creamy lime dressing and fried tortilla strips. I noticed that my salad had green peppers instead of red peppers. Since I cannot eat green peppers, I asked our waitress about it. She told me that was how it comes. However, the menu specifically says roasted red pepper, not green pepper. This is something the restaurant really needs to correct, either on the menu or with the kitchen, so someone doesn't order the dish expecting red peppers and end up with something they cannot eat. I caught it dyer my first bite eating. Then came another issue. My wife's dinner came out, but my meal wasn't ready. She waited for me, and I finally told her to go ahead and eat before her food got cold. About 10 minutes later, my meal finally came out. I don't understand why both meals didn't come out together. We weren't ordering crabs or something that would obviously come out when ready. We were ordering two regular dinner entrées, and the restaurant wasn't busy. Ten minutes is a long time between two meals, especially when one person is sitting there waiting while the other is eating. When my meal finally arrived, everything looked good, but I was disappointed with the size of the crab cake. For $44, and being listed as a dinner entrée rather than a sandwich, I expected a much larger crab cake. What makes this even more disappointing is that a picture of the dinner on their website shows two crab cakes, while the crab cake sandwiches pictured on the website were actually larger than the single crab cake I received with my dinner. I understand pictures can sometimes be for presentation purposes, but there was a pretty big difference between what I saw online and what was actually served. More importantly, the crab cake needed to be cooked a little longer. It should have had more browning on the outside not just shack some old bay on it, and the food needed to be hot. The crab cake was only warm, and even the Brussels sprouts were just lukewarm. The food itself had good flavor, but there were several things that need some cleaning up. $44 is a lot for a 4-ounce crab cake, especially when it isn't served hot and the Brussels sprouts are lukewarm. Overall, the meal was ok, but we expected more for the prices, we eat out a lot and don't mind paying for good food! The service was friendly, but the timing of the meals, the temperature of the food, the size of the crab cake, and the issue with the peppers are things the restaurant should address. And then charge 3% for a credit card fee and not even tell us. Would have been 4-5 stars without issues.

This has ranged from a toast of a special cocktail to a toast of a special shot of soup. It's pretty fun and it gets everyone at the bar talking.

There is even an advertisement for the burger on the back of the men's toilet stall! That is how much they hype this burger up. The burger was indeed delicious, and you can make room for a drink or two at these authentic Irish Bar. Now, the bad news is I tried two different beers on tap and both tasted funky. The have another bar to the left of the main entrance and I did have a beer there on a different occasion and it was fine. I really can't explain why on the first night both beers tasted bad, perhaps they need to clean the tap or something hence the once star deduction. On the last night here, I had the Irish Spice Bag, this is described on the menu as a popular takeout dish in Ireland. It was full of spice and in a bag for sure and once shaken and poured out it had a lot of flavor (the fries and chicken) be forewarned though definitely not low sodium. My girlfriend ordered the Shepherd's pie twice. We both noticed the inside meat under the potatoes was extremely dark in color. Not sure why that was but it was full of a deep distinct flavor of mouthwatering meaty deliciousness. Not a light dish by any means however a quality example of Shepherd's Pie. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking to try something different as the menu is full of fun items. As always people SYOY!!!

The rockfish is very good with a delicately flavored mashed cauliflower and seasonal vegetables. Dessert was a lemon pound cake with fresh fruit. It's a refreshing light treat but don't expect a distinctive lemon flavored cake.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is lovely. It's fine dining on the Annapolis waterfront. Really…read moreenjoyed the views. The indoor and outdoor seating are both nice and quite fancy. The soft shell crab was not the best dish. Maybe it was just an off day but it was quite chewy and not to my taste. Otherwise the experience was nice and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

Just. So. Delicious.!! Went here as a part of the Naptown Scoop Dinner Club where you sign-up to…read morejoin six or so people, none of which know each other, for a fun and delicious meal. The location isn't disclosed until the day of, and you have a lot of opportunities to reconfirm that you really want to go! But, enough about the event, on to the fantastic dinner! The menu has so many incredible, gourmet choices, it will be hard to select just one, but our table ordered the octopus tacos and cherry blossom beets with chopped peanuts and triangles of puffy, fried flat bread. Interesting combinations of flavors, and a great starter. Several of us got the salmon wellington - wow! Cooked to sheer perfection, moist fish on a bed of bok choy and chopped mushrooms, bathed in an orange beurre blanc with a delicious wellington crust. I MUST order that again! One person had pan seared halibut, and he inhaled it before I even got to look closely at the preparation. He said it was amazing! No desserts, as we were all stuffed, but the rojo wine and martinis went down a treat! Service was lovely, table cloths, candles and cloth napkins....all in all, a truly special evening with five new friends! Next time...himachi crudo in a calabrian chili and coconut puree, followed by sea scallops in a vanilla beurre blanc!

I can't believe I've never heard of this place before and I live just a few minutes away. My wife…read moreand I have been looking to try something different but didn't want to drive too far. We stumbled upon InGranos and once we saw the menu we quickly decided to try it out. I made reservations and off we went. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully designed yet simple and the waitstaff were very friendly. We ordered the octopus bites for an appetizer and they were delicious. We also ordered the sourdough bread which is made there on site...again, delicious especially with the French butter. Our main courses were also very tasty and the timing between courses was impeccable. We will absolutely be eating here again as we want to try their fixed menu. Plenty of parking as well. Definitely give this place a try!
