Went for our daughter's birthday last night. We were warmly greeted on arrival by the hostess team. The wait staff was delightful, attentive and made the event extra special! Food was wonderful. Recommend highly, what a wonderful gem you have in your city!! read more

Fantastic food!! While I expected the steaks to be phenomenal (and they were!!), I was blown away by 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 read more

Our second visit. Average food for a what is supposed to be a classy steakhouse. 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# read more

YUM! Let's start there. This steak was so good. This was the first steak that I took my time with. Normally I am of the mindset of let me eat this steak before it cools off. This steak is so good, let me scarf it down. Not this time. As I ate this steak, I often thought... How? How did they get this to be consistently tender? While writing this, I stared at the image of that steak and my mouth watered and I again wondered... How? I was definitely full after eating this and all the other food that came with it which was also very, very good. I don't remember but I'm pretty sure this wasn't our first choice but I'm glad we ended up here. There was something that I missed out on but I forget and this is why you should write your reviews immediately. There was some option that I didn't know existed but by the time I heard the waiter explain it to the table across from us, our food was on the way out so I couldn't change. I was very happy with my meal so it didn't matter too much especially since I can't be upset for something I didn't have. The vibe is a premium steakhouse vibe. They may only have booths and the booths were slightly odd. they were bigger than a 2 person booth but I'm not sure 4 would sit there comfortably. Especially not 4 ppl my size :-). It wasn't noisy at all. We were able to have a decent conversation and not feel like we were straining to be loud enough to hear each other but soft enough that others aren't in our conversation. read more

I searched up what the best steakhouse in Maryland is and this place popped up. I did extensive research into the menu before visiting to get the best dishes. I'm not sure if my taste is just different, but the creamed spinach and lyonnaise potatoes were just okay. The French fried potatoes were good, it's a hybrid between a chip and a fry, very unique. The thick cut bacon just tasted like salty ham, however it was still good. The crab balls were DELICIOUS, absolutely packed with meat. All the reviews here are very contrasting, but if you had to get one side, I recommend getting the crab balls. Everything else is honestly not that worth it. For the main entree we chose the tomahawk ribeye medium rare, and it was very rare when it came out, however it was still very smooth and easy to chew. It was only disappointing because the steak was rather cold, and lacked flavor. Do not come to this steakhouse expecting flavor in every dish. It truly just tastes like the ingredients, nothing insane. read more

Steaks and service were unparalleled. Drinks were great and the restaurant is a unique experience and a lovely historic building. Only detractor is a few of the items were not to my liking. Usually love oysters Rockefeller but these weren't it. Same with sautéed spinach and their French style potatoes. Would still recommend but will be more choosy with what we pick read more

Lewnes Steakhouse came in class for a dinner celebration. Accommodating due to delays caused by the storm, Schelle met us at the hostess stand with care and welcome. She made sure we arrived fine and parked in a safe space, she quickly checked us in and seated us herself. As others have mentioned, Lewnes's ambiance is cozy, softly lit, and white table classic. We were greeted immediately by our server Jeff. Absolutely friendly, he took our cocktail order, our dinner selections, and made sure everything was to our liking. Truly attentive and outstanding service. My Old Fashioned was made with Angel's Envy. Traditional and tones of caramel sweet. We were served an onion boule with a block of fresh butter and it was a wonderful bridge to our mains. The seafood bisque is so rich, prominent smokiness of the paparika, and the flavors luscious. Not salty and take some of that boule to polish it off. I am particular about my ribeye and Lewnes satisfied in every morsel. Tender melt in your mouth excellent char in the ends. Yes, ratio of butter was on point. Parking is limited in the area, plan ahead. Having had Prime Rib, Born & Raised, Peter Lugers, Old Homestead, and Capa, Lewnes has been added to my tops. Highly recommend. read more

This was a very old school-esque steakhouse; dark ambiance, wood paneling, white table cloths. They had a great wine-by-the-glass menu and a massive bottle list. The only downside was both of our steaks were overcooked; mine came medium instead of medium rare and hers came medium well instead of medium. Other than that, everything was perfect. Favorites were definitely the mashed potatoes and our brownie a La mode dessert which was incredibly fudgy and warm. Would love to come back next time we're in Annapolis! read more

My husband loves going to Lewnes' for birthdays, for a good steak in Annapolis this is hands down our go to spot. The environment is intimate with small booths in an older building in Eastport, old photos lining the walls, Sinatra and Fred Astaire playing..you know the vibe. You're welcomed with warm bread in the table with a wedge of butter. The past few times we've visited we had a wedge salad to start, it's really great. I know you don't go to a steakhouse for a salad but..just get the salad. We also love the thick bacon appetizer because well it's bacon, what's not to love? This visit we split a tomahawk steak (something obscene like 40oz), chef recommended medium rare "plus" so we opted for that. The sustainably sourced their beef from US farms, they have a write up in the menu highlighting sources like 4H and Future Farmers of America which I thought was great. Our steak was cooked perfectly medium rare: great flavor. Our server perfectly timed our courses and was quick to refill drinks and checked in frequently. Overall just a great, consistent local steakhouse. read more

Excellent steakhouse, was not expecting it in Annapolis. I had the lamb chops and they were huge. There large (double) chops, I ordered medium rare maybe a little closer to medium but nothing to complain about. Looking forward to trying a steak next visit. read more

The ambiance at Lewnes' is cozy and dark -- it feels like the kind of place where politicians might have once gathered to make backroom deals. Even though it was founded in the '90s, it carries a historic, old-school charm. We started with the salad, which was fresh and flavorful (and surprisingly had potatoes in it!). THE BREAD. WARM AND DELICIOUS. The seafood bisque was also pretty good -- rich, flavorful, and packed with nice chunks of crabmeat. The creamed spinach was a classic, and the potato frites were different but fun -- more like homemade potato chips than typical fries. We were celebrating a birthday and decided to go big with the 40oz tomahawk steak to share. We asked for it medium rare, but it came out a bit too red for our taste. We sent it back -- twice -- and each time the staff was incredibly gracious and professional, never once showing any frustration. Their hospitality really stood out. To drink, I tried the bourbon cocktail called the "Revolver," and it was incredibly smooth -- definitely worth ordering if you're into bourbon. Between the warm service, flavorful food, and some unique touches on classic steakhouse dishes, we'd absolutely return. Great spot for a special occasion or a cozy night out! read more

Lewnes' Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

My partner took me for my birthday dinner as it was recommended by friends, & we weren't "blown away" like they were. Warm & intimate vibe within the restaurant, & the staff were very knowledgable & accommodating. Their wine selection was very impressive, but my ding would be for the Old Fashioned that he ordered.. wasn't very good. The steak was cooked perfectly temp wise, but overall was lacking seasoning/flavor. I'll say this though - the steak was literally almost the size of my face LOL! Mashed potatoes were silky smooth, & serving sizes were absolutely enough for two. Overall it was a nice evening, but just okay for us. read more

Lewnes' Steakhouse - Filet, spinach, mashed potatoes, mushrooms - Steakhouses Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

If you're a steak lover, this is the place for you! We started with an order of oysters Rockefeller, the jumbo lump crab balls, and half oysters on the shell. The Rockefeller were slightly gritty but overall tasty. The crab balls were delicious- Warm and crispy on the outside.The half oysters were delightfully refreshing! Next we went for the 48oz cowboy ribeye and it was juicy, tender, and seasoned well. The creamed spinach was a surprising highlight for me ( I ate the whole bowl) and the mashed potatoes were creamy and well-salted. The drinks were a little on the stronger side, but they were mixed well. The service was lovely, our waiter was very efficient, and answered all of our questions with ease. Would highly recommend making a reservation! Lewnes is a wonderful place for a special occasion. It's romantic and feels like cozy luxury. It is on the pricier side, but it was well worth every bite! Would definitely come again. read more

This review is so long overdue! Lewnes' Steakhouse never misses. I've been coming here for years, and every meal is as flawless as the last. The creamed spinach is rich, the lyonnaise potatoes perfectly crisp, and the sirloin or porterhouse? Tender, juicy, and full of flavor--melts on your tongue every time. The service is always warm and attentive, and the atmosphere--dark, old-fashioned wood that feels like it should be stuffy but isn't--just adds to the charm. Always worth the trip and I look forward every opportunity to go. read more

Lewnes' Steakhouse is one of my favorite steakhouses although I've never actually ordered beef steak from this restaurant. Instead, I am in love with their Pan Seared Yellowfin Tuna Steak, which I order each and every time I visit. I'm literally hooked lol. The dish is tender when ordered medium style and super flavorful with notes of sea salt, garlic and lemon amazingness. It comes with a delicious mustard aioli sauce for dipping but honestly its amazing by itself. I also love there shrimp and spinach dish called Garides Scortholemono ( a Greek staple) . I usually also get the creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms, or asparagus as a side. The ambiance has a beautiful vintage vibe, with plush seat and great lighting. They offer great service , friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I've never has a bad experience here. It's location is not too far from the water so its great for a date night or special occasion. Street Parking is fairly simple depending on the time of day you visit. They do no offer valet which is unfortunate, but not a damper on the overall experience. I can't wait to go back. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's always been a favorite restaurant of mine. I don't live nearby anymore so my boyfriend and I made the long trek here to celebrate a significant anniversary and I was super excited but I hate to say it was pretty disappointing. We were splitting a Porterhouse steak which was $80 and pretty expensive for us but we made an exception since we were celebrating. We ordered it medium rare as we frequently do, and when it came out it was very rare. The center was cold and chewy. We asked if they could cook it a little more and they said that was fine. when they brought it back it was well done, past medium rare and seemed as if it had been microwaved. They had also removed the sauces that had come on the side and didn't bring them back. Even with the recook, the steak was still a little bland and lacking much of a sear. But at that point, it felt like it was beyond correcting so we just left without eating much else. I hate leaving a bad review since this has always been a place I look forward to coming to but this experience has been unfortunately lackluster. read more

This place was amazing. I've been hearing about this steakhouse for years and finally made the time to dine here. Stepping into this establishment you feel like you're going back in time to a bygone era. The wait staff is all dressed in butcher jackets which really adds to the ambience of an old time feel. I started off with the Blackberry Collins cocktail. Delish! I only had one, but I certainly could have gotten another. Very fruity, but somehow not overly sweet. In addition to that we also ordered a bottle of Panna water for the table. For our appetizer we got the slab of thick cut bacon. Again, amazing. Just the right amount of caramelized fat to meat ratio. We were definitely off to a great start! I got the ribeye Oscar style (crabmeat and béarnaise), perfectly cooked! We got a total of 4 half portioned sides to share family style. The french fried potatoes are an absolute much try. It a fried cross between a chips and fries. We also got the lyonnaise potatoes also delicious, asparagus and creamed spinach. Everything we had was exceptionally good. Start to finish we enjoyed every bit of our meal and dining experience as a whole. Although, this was my first time dining here, no doubt it will not be my last. read more

What an incredible experience! The restaurant was cozy and comfortable. The food was out of this world amazing! We order oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer with cocktails. It was incredible! The bread was incredible. For my main entree, I ordered lamp chops which were delicious! The waiter was so funny and friendly. I joked about only have pistachios on lamp chops before so he brought out crushed pistachios for me. It doesn't come with that but we had a laugh. The wine was delicious! We ordered three vegetables to share as a table and cleaned our plates by the end. I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes! Amazing restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Lewnes' Steakhouse - Lamp Lamb Chops, Three 5oz. Rib Chops - Steakhouses Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I've been eyeing this place ever since I read about it being one of the best steakhouses on east coast on reddit. Seeing as how I lived just over an hour away I was happy to test out the hypothesis, and it didnt disappoint. I made reservations and found street parking. I was a smidge late, but fortunately they didnt give my table away. Once seated, I noticed the decor and ambiance was a bit aged, though still nice. I ordered an old fashion while my friend had red wine. We both ordered new york strip steaks and had salads to start. I went with a house while my friend had a greek salad, and tbh I wish I ordered the greek salad. the salad comes with potatoes under the lettuce and is topped with a bright tasting greek dressing consisting of lemon, garlic, and herbs. Coupled with the feta it reminded of my growing up in NYC and stopping in all of the rich tasting greek diners on the island. This stole the night for me, I'd go back just for this greek salad. The steakhouse's menu describes the restaurant as being the first to offer prime steaks. Upon further research I found that prime steak is the highest grade a meat could obtain. The meat tends to be juicer, packed with flavor and great has marbling. Lastly, the meat is cooked in a broiler at 1800 degrees. What surprised me the most was how well the steak was cooked, I ordered mine to be medium rare and typically in a restaurant medium rare means the middle of the steak is medium rare and the outside is more medium. However here the outside was medium rare and the center, inside of the steak was more on the rare side. What was disappointing was that the restaurant only tops their steaks with butter. Maybe I've grown accustomed to salt and pepper and while the steak was good, it felt like it was missing something. We also ordered a baked potato and mushrooms. The baked potato can be topped with butter, sour cream but not chives which is unfortunate but I managed. Both portions were enough to satisfy us both. The service was great, there are no complaints there. The waitress offered their opinion when asked, and guided us to the house favorites. She was quick to refill the water, and was prompt in returning often. read more

I enjoy a great steak every once and a while. I have had my fare share. I will have to say, Lewnes is now new favorite Steakhouse. They are located in Annapolis. I have to tell you that finding parking is a challenge. But once you do, Lewnes is ready to greet and serve you. The restaurant sits on the corner in the downtown marina area. Once you walk in, you are consumed by their upscale charm. The bartenders are great and cleearly masters of their craft. The host and wait staff were very nice and accommodating. When the server said they offered a 40oz steak, I had to accept the challenge. The steak was the perfect size, perfect temp, and flavor was over the top. I ordered mash potatoes and asparagus for sides. Lewnes checked all the right boxes for fine dining at a Steakhouse. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I can't say enough about how great this place is. I have never been to a better Steakhouse in Annapolis. The service is always impeccable and the atmosphere is very quiet & quaint, allowing for conversation amongst your table.

Dining her is slightly more upscale, but very well worth it for the quality experience. read more

We have been coming here when we are in town for something like 20 years. For all of that time, the food has been excellent and the service the same. Tonight we went for the first time in 18 months and we were so looking forward to going. As always the food was on point, if the best anywhere. Tonight though , the service was awful! We sat at the bar and the bartender, who has been awesome in the past, simply ignored us all night. We were served food and couldn't get utensils. We finished drinks and weren't asked if we wanted anything else. Our food was finished and we sat and sat until I finally got their attention and asked for a check. Simply the worst service we have had in years... They did comp a second round of drinks as clearly they were aware something was wrong. It wasn't even that busy. I am so sorry to post this but you have earned it. read more

The steakhouse is one of the best in Annapolis and I highly recommended for special occasions. The warm old world ambience, combined with the perfect music makes for thoroughly enjoyable evening. My waiter Brian was wonderfully attentive and made recommendations from the menu based on my preferences. My steak was cooked perfectly and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Fair warning, the martinis here are exceptional and a little larger than most. I had a wonderful time, celebrating my company anniversary and look forward to coming back again. read more

Been here a few times Love the "old school steakhouse" look Service is always wonderful and they always give great suggestions The onion bread is different, full of onion flavor The crab balls are great, actually enjoy them more than the regular sized crab cakes Steaks are always great and cooked perfectly My favorite dish here is the creamed spinach. Creamed spinach is your typical steakhouse dish, but something they put in it makes it stand out. Have considered driving to Annapolis just to get that side dish several times. read more

Exceptional Service, and amazing food! All of the staff that we came in contact with were very pleasant, professional and helpful.

Booked a last-minute reservation at this place and was so glad I did. Lewnes is a classy steakhouse tucked away in a quiet Annapolis neighborhood. Plenty of street parking is available. The best parts of our meal were definitely the complimentary bread, the juicy steaks (filet mignon and ribeye) , and the mushrooms. I didn't care for the creamed spinach, which was oddly heavy on nutmeg (our waiter warned us about this but we decided to try it anyway). The mashed potatoes and the complimentary birthday dessert (brownie and ice cream) were pretty basic. But overall, I'd be happy to return. read more

My wife and I ate at Lewnes' Steakhouse last weekend for our anniversary. To start off, we ordered the crab balls as an appetizer. They came with home made cocktail sauce & a dry mustard sauce. The crab balls were amazing. We loved the dry mustard sauce. For dinner, I had the 16oz ribeye, while my wife had a Chilean sea bass. Both entrees were amazing. The ribeye was one of the best that I've had. Sides are ordered a la carte. I got a baked potato and an order of onion rings. The baked potato was huge. We had to get a box for the onion rings, as I was full after eating the ribeye & potato. Our server, Matt (I think that was his name) , was absolutely amazing. He knew the history of the restaurant by memory. His suggestions were on point. We really enjoyed having him as a server. He even brought out a hot fudge brownie sundae for us since it was our anniversary. Lewnes' Steakhouse is popular, so make sure to make a reservation. You won't be disappointed in this place. It's a throwback to classy restaurants of old. We will definitely be back. Thanks for making our special night fantastic. read more

I always choose a restaurant and make a reservation for my husband's birthday and my husband always makes a reservation for our anniversary which is two days after his birthday. Unbeknownst to us, we both made reservations at Lewnes!! Guess you can call us regulars now!! We had an absolutely lovely two nights last week!! On my husband's birthday, Nicky was our server- she could not have been any nicer, more knowledgeable, or kind!! We enjoyed a delicious, romantic evening! Then for our anniversary, David was our server and he was absolutely a delight as well. Towards the end of the meal, Nicky came by to wish us a happy anniversary!! We love Lewnes- service, food, and ambiance is top notch and staff outstanding!! Next year maybe we'll just go ahead and do the same thing as I don't think it's possible to enjoy a special night out any more!! Thank you Nicky and David for giving us lovely memories!

Had a great evening at one of the best steak houses around. I Started off with a slab of bacon appetizer. After taking the first bite I wondered to myself if this is the way bacon was originally supposed to taste, best tasting bacon ever. Next we had a side salad, again very crisp cold lettuce with plenty accessories like olives, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. With ample amounts of ranch dressing made this salad a show stopper. Then the big guy came out. The 28 ounce porterhouse cooked medium rare showed up to my table and I instantly fell in love. Knowing there was no way I would be able to eat this mammoth steak in one setting I chose to go with a large side of the steak first saving the smaller mower tender piece for the next day. I have to admit the steak was perfectly cooked medium rare and the internal temperature was warm to the touch which is exactly the way it should've been cooked. The flavor and the aroma what tantalizing. I highly recommend eating the steak. Lastly, knowing that I was going to save room for dessert and listening to their massive dessert menu, I chose the Keylime pie which is my all-time fave. Other than outside of Key West, it's been a while since I had a piece of Keylime pie that tasted this delicious. Thank you guys for such great service. I give this place 5 starts read more
