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...

This has to be one of the best steaks that you will ever have the pleasure of eating. The atmosphere is very layed back and casual. Our waiter was extremly helpful and was not afraid to make recommendations. Everything was cooked to profection. The meal was pricey but worth every penny. Make sure that you have reservations before you go.... More

The steak was good but the sides were just so-so. I guess most people like really dark steak houses....this one is REALLY dark...and over priced!

Lewnes' has a long history as an independently owned Annapolis, Maryland landmark. The dark wood interior and dim lighting gives this place an old school ambiance. After lots of good seafood in Annapolis we were in the mood for meat and this place did not disappoint. I had the petite filet and my husband had the veal chop. We shared... More

The service, wine list and food is all outstanding. The salads and entrees are outstanding. I have tried every steak on the menu. You cannot go wrong. They also have french fries which are so good you need to order 2 orders. Lewnes will ruin your experience at Ruth Chris, Morton's, etc, it's that good!
