    Two of the best cuts of meat we have ever had. Very old school steak house environment with lovely music and friendly waitstaff. The owners stop and talk like old friends. The porterhouse, mushrooms and onion rings were delicious! Cannot wait to come back. Lovely for a special occasion.

    This place is defintely pricey, but totally worth it. From the moment your greeted as you enter the small bar area, the host checked us in, took our coats and escorted us to our booth. Our waiter was attentive and engaging and recommended great cockatails and bottles of wine - Silver Oak Cab was delicious. Our food was served with perfect timing between apps, dinner and desert and everything was cooked/prepared to perfection. Defintely a must vist as often as your wallet allows.

    Spur of the moment date night—we were able to get a table for 2 reservation. We were dressed super casual and had a backup in case we were turned away because of our attire. They didn’t bat an eye at how we were dressed. We were seated quickly and service was excellent. We were going to have the wedge salad as an appetizer, but were intrigued by the description of the special, “3 lb slab of smoked bacon with homemade mustard sauce.” So of course we tried it AND IT WAS AMAZING. Our server Ted was spot-on with his attentiveness and we had an excellent experience. Definitely our go-to date night spot from now on!

    Lewnes is an old standby favorite for the most special of occasions. It remains the best steakhouse in Maryland for a reason - consistent quality at every level. You will not be better served anywhere, and you will not find a better steak anywhere. So look forward to returning! My favorite restaurant anywhere.

    We love Lewnes for very special occasions. It is one of the very few restaurants in Annapolis that provides “5 star” service. As usual, our server was highly knowledgeable about each ofbthe items on the menu as well as demonstrating a solid understanding of good wine pairings. We appreciate the depth of their cellar, but even their lowest priced offerings are truly wonderful wines. For instance, we stuck with the Rombauer Chardonnay - an old favorite. The food preparation was excellent, everything was cooked to the temperature ordered. Even though it was New Year’s Eve, we were not rushed by the timing of the food service nor was there even the slightest hint that they probably would like to turn our table. We recommend Lewnes very highly and will be back frequently.

    First time at this fabulous old school steakhouse. Our server, Dave, had great suggestions, like the bone in tomahawk, and he was attentive and on point with timing. We could not have had a better New Year’s Eve dining experience. Highly recommend as this will not be our last visit.

    Superb experience for our annual family get together. Reliably great food. Service/wait staff was there when u want and not when u don’t- perfect balance between attentive service and good hosts that don’t try to become part of your dinner party. Very much appreciated the relatively quiet ambiance so family could talk and bring each other up to date without having to yell. Even the background music was comforting and not shouting from the sidelines. An altogether wonderful experience.
