Wonderful Resturant, we had scallops and shrimp. Out of this world. Our friends had wonderful crabcakes and a filet. Pumpkin ice cream is on the way. read more

For a restaurant like this, I guess my expectations were pretty high. Turned out the experience was really just average. First we went there on a Saturday evening when there was some sort of dance going on with the kids from the academy so many of them were all dressed up and dinning there. The unfortunate impact was that they were busy and super duper slooooow. So slow in fact, that after sitting at our table for 15 mins and not even getting bread or something we thought we should may be leave. We also tried ordering wine and turns out that the 1st and 2nd bottle we chose, they were out of. So, we finally got a nice bottle (a bit overpriced given it's resale value) and moved from the main dinning room to eat upstairs at the bar. Much nicer atmosphere up there and you can order either bar stuff or from the full menu. The caesar salad was ok, again could have been much better for this kind of restaurant. The steak was good, a bit chewy for the piece I ordered, but it was well cooked and the chimichuri sauce was pretty good too. As a whole, I would definitely not go there if they are very crowded as the service stinks. I also though the upstairs area, albeit more casual, was actually nicer than the main dinning room. And lastly ,the food was good but nothing extraordinary and frankly for the prices, there are better steak houses to choose from. read more

I've eaten in a lot of places in this town...and Harry Brown's is absolutely, my hands down favorite resturant in Annapolis!! Service, food quality, ambiance... it's just the gold standard in this town! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here... and will be back! read more

I've been here for dinner and brunch, and it's hard to decide which one is better! The food here is delicious!

I ate in the bar. The bar is upstairs, up the steps. The burger was excellent with a couple of tasty onions rings on top. Service was excellent in the bar. John did a good job. Yes, this is a good place to eat. I want to come back and taste the crab soup. read more

So we chose this place based upon recommendations from locals combined with reviews from yelp...I must say that I was a but underwhelmed. Service - it was ok. A couple next to us came in later and got their good faster than us (not that much faster but about the same time) they did bring us more bread when asked and kept the water refilled Food was good but seemed a bit on the salty side. Price: I knew what prices were going in and had hoped to spend for an outstanding meal...I ended up paying more for a good but not knock your socks off meal read more

Recently, I met two colleagues for Sunday Brunch at Harry's about 10:30ish. One of my colleagues lives in Annapolis and recommended it. The main level is sort of small. However, there were few people in the restaurant that day. It didn't feel crowded. It wasn't noisy either which was great. Although the price is reasonable, the food choices were limited. It was mostly brunch food (omelete station, craving station - ham, bacon, sausage and potatoes). Waffles can be made fresh and brought to the table. There was some cold food (smoked salmon, bagels and fresh fruit salad). There were very few dessert choices (blueberry tart, raspberry tart and carrot cake). After brunch, my colleague wanted us to go upstairs to check out the bar area. Not sure why. It wasn't open or anything. There was more open space which was nice. Overall, the experience was okay. I would not return because the food choices were so limited. I'd rather pay more and have a larger selection. read more

What a find!!! OMG! Fine dining at an amazing price!!! Great lunch. Flat bread margarita pizza with a salad!!! So good!!! Hamburger was excellent, cooked to perfection. Great Bloody Mary's great service, no crowds, nice restroom, how could you ask for more!! Go here! read more

This review applies to dinner only (I understand the lunch menu/experience is different.) The food here is very expensive, but not particularly good. This is one of those restaurants that knows people will pay for a nice dinner and convince themselves the food was good because of how expensive it was. I had scallops and another seafood appetizer and their was nothing particularly good about either. Since the restaurant knows that it makes its buck off of ritzy ambiance, expect to be treated like you don't belong unless you're a middle-aged white man in a suit. read more

I've been here for dinner and always enjoyed it, but I give this gem four stars for the best hang over burger in Annapolis. Always perfectly done the way I like it, the French fries are kind of like boardwalk fries. My shop is right around the corner and this dish has made my day do a 180 a handful of times. read more

Very nice atmosphere, though it grew a bit darker than necessary later into the meal. Excellent setting for any kind of dinner, from a weeknight special occasion to a formal dinner date. The food was well prepared and tasty, and though it is not the greatest steak available, it is certainly a solid choice. A return visit is definitely in order! read more

It pains me to give this restaurant a three star rating. I have had experiences in the past that rated five stars. However, they are definitely slipping in many ways. This is an old Annapolis institution with a reputation for gourmet upscale comfort food and great service. But the last few years I have found this to not be the case. If they are going to demand the priced they charge they must step it up a notch. I have had some pretty average overall experiences dining with friends. I most recently booked reservations for 16 in the front dining room upstairs and arrived to find we were going to be seated in the back dining area. We lost the State Street view but everyone was okay with it. Overall they rated a 3.5 star on the food and service for the group. A few entrees (steaks)were excellent and a few mediocre (fish). I hope they take these reviews seriously and work at bringing back the old Harry Brown's which I know and respect so much. read more

I had been to Harry Browne's before for New Year's & it was alright-good but certainly not extraordinary. I wanted to come back & try brunch. Our waiter was cordial but that's about it. My husband & I were offered a complimentary mimosa/champagne. Later I overheard another waiter telling his tables there was a bloody mary bar with 2 drinks for $7. If we had known that we would've ordered some! I ordered the crab eggs benedict, usually one of my favorite brunch items anywhere, but unfortunately the crab was spoiled & smelled/tasted fishy, so i just ate around it. I didn't say anything to the waiter because I just didn't feel that welcome (we were dressed nicely too). We spent a lot of $ there on New Year's, & would've come back, but not anymore. Friends had warned me that the place wasn't what it used to be-& now I finally believe them. read more

Attended a recent brunch for a large family birthday. All-around great experience -- service and food were top notch!

Harry Browne's continues to be consistently inconsistent-from the sublime to the ridiculous. It could SO easily be a 5 star restaurant again with a little shot of passion and commitment. The potential is evident. First, please train your waiters not to have long drawn out conversations with a patron while others are sitting waiting for drinks. I know it must have been 15 minutes while we sat without any acknowledgement with the waiter having a long personal conversation at the table next to us. It was not even flirting, so I don't know if it was VIP situation or what but it was most annoying, Then when he finally came over to ask for our drink order and I said we were ready to order our food, he was still so clueless and untrained that he went right back to the other table for some more hobnobbing. If I had not been so hungry, we would have left. Then, for the food, in keeping with the sublime/ridiculous theme, the burger is now my vote for best in Annapolis. It was a real beauty--perfectly seasoned, juicy, with divine carmelized onions (you must request these) and a perfect grilled brioche bun that stayed intact through the very end--wonderful! The fries were decent but overcooked. They are advertised as hand cut, but Grapes Wine Bar does them orders of magnitude better. (invest in some duck fat???) The tuna sandwich was good. But the French Onion soup was glorified dishwater. Awful. If you want a decent version go to Les Folies. This was next to inedible. (inslurpable?) Pleas HB, get your act together--we adore your former self and want you back!! read more

Went for a full on, special night out, dinner recently and it was as fine an experience as one could get. It's one of the reasons we return to Harry Browne's We were there on a relatively slow night and had a nice little quiet, private corner to ourselves. The ambience and decor were impeccable as always, and we really enjoyed the jazz playing through the sound system. Tony was our waiter and was professional and attentive, but not hovering. Our meals were prepared to the usual high standards and we enjoyed everything that we had. A pleasant night out on a beautiful Annapolis evening. read more

Had a great time at HB on a Monday evening. It was lobster night for $20 + a glass of wine. Lobster was yummy, wine was pretty decent, dessert very good (Smith Island Cake). Server was very nice and non-pushy. I'd love to go back and eat in the regular dining room. Perfect Monday night fare when the city is a bit sleepy. Definitely would go back. Outstanding evening. read more

Disastrous! I've dined here quite a few times. It's a lovely restaurant with very good food. It does have, however, the WORST service! Our waiter couldn't have done a worse job if he tried. There were only 3 tables and two servers and he was still slow and inept. We ordered a nice bottle of wine (over $100) he poured it in the cheap glasses instead of getting the real wine glasses off the shelf next to the table. After over pouring he stuck the cork back in the bottle! Food was very slow and he brought one of our party the wrong thing. By the time he brought the replacement, the others were almost finished. No apology, no nothing! Then it took him 20 minutes to bring our after dinner drinks. And the meal was way over priced. Pick somewhere else! read more

I've not eaten in the restaurant, so I can only comment on the bar, but my experience was wonderful. The bartender, Tyler is awesome and makes a mean drink! I don't even know what the drink was, I just told him to make me something sweet and he didn't disappoint. He and his coworker kept the conversation flowing, and made everyone feel comfortable. And if you do go into the bar, you MUST get the bleu cheese chips......delicious! read more

I have dined here on various occasions normally for their brunches and on a few times for dinner. Last night I met up with some friends in the upstairs lounge. The upstairs was much more spacious than I had originally thought. Service was fantastic and the margarita pizza was delicious as well. The best part was the drizzle of balsamic on top of the pizza. read more

We attended a rehearsal dinner here in late April. The staff was courteous and fun. The Rack of Lamb was the best I ever had and I heard similar great comments from others with the same meal and those who had the Crab Cakes. If we didn't live 2,500 miles away, I'd make this a regular "date night" stop. Truly great food and service! read more

I have only eaten at Harry Browne's for brunch, where it appears to be very popular. The menu was decently priced, considering the location in front of the state capitol building, and the included glass of champagne. read more

This is a great upscale date place. We sat at the bar for drinks and ordered a few appetizers from their bar menu. Service was good and the wine selection was extensive. I recommend this place if youre looking for somewhere quiet to enjoy a cocktail with your SO. read more

Classic American steakhouse in a great location. Great food and great wine list.

The restaurant was quite amazing. Was there for dinner and was very pleased, along with the rest of my party. I didn't experience the bar scene upstairs but it seemed very quant and comfy! Overall would recommend going here for a nice meal! read more

Spectacular. One of the best restaurant experiences we've had in years. Atmosphere is cozy and interesting, down to the Zodiac lights on the ceiling salvaged from the ocean liner Normandie. The cream of crab soup left me wanting more, with it's plentiful meat and sherry overtone. The Caesar salad for two, prepared table side by a friendly and attentive server, was perfectly seasoned. My wife had the rack of lamb with house-made tzaziki. The 8 ribs made for a very large potion, half of which we took home. I had the special, shrimp and lobster risotto. Perfectly al dente, full of meat and flavor, plus not too heavy, as risottos sometimes are. We would make a special trip back to Annapolis just to east there again. read more

Excellent Happy Hour menu. Okay beer selection. Good folks serving. Decent prices for a classic restaurant in-town. Classy atmosphere.

Do not support this establishment! Our dinner came out very slowly and was cold. I can only assume it was left in the back for quite a few minutes before it was brought out. Our server wasnt very attentive and when we asked to speak with a manager, we were told they had left for the day and that the server was the manager on duty. UNACCEPTABLE AND REDICULOUS FOR A FINE DINING RESTAURANT!!! Not only is the food and service lousy and overpriced, but even worse, the owner Rusty Romo is prejudice and racist. They should change the name to Harry "No brownes". I will not be returning again. If I could give it 0 stars I would... read more

Food quality is lacking. Strip steak was smothered in gravy. Meat had no taste. Gravy was way over salted. Short ribs were the same; cheap,cuts of meat with no taste except salt. Lobster bisque was excellant along with our service from the waiter, Wic. I think the host at the front desk had the personality of a stone. read more

Super high brow, expensive, but tasty. Make a reservation and enjoy.

Not the BEST food for the price but still good. What makes this place special is the service. We've been here twice and the servers have both been simply outstanding. The location is great and, as long as there's not an inconsiderate a-hole smoking on the sidewalk, the patio seating is unique and pretty cool. read more

I've been here both for brunch and dinner. Dinner is delicious, location is a beautiful little nook off of the main downtown Annapolis stretch (parking can be a pain for sure) / brunch is 'okay'. I'm not a fan of a buffet, and not to mention up many steep steps to serve yourself. Other than that, a nice little spot that I'd highly recommend for dinner over brunch 100%. read more

I love this place! I like going for lunch or a drink downstairs and enjoying the Old World ambiance and delicious food. The upstairs bar with the leather chairs are fabulous. More importantly, I had my wedding reception upstairs with a private cocktail reception in the bar followed by a luncheon in the front room. All the guests enjoyed the restaurant's decor, comfort, and raved about the food (especially the salmon and chicken potstickers). The selection of house wines and local beers were excellent. Samantha and Jason were fabulous to work with - very accommodating and responsive. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Phenomenal food at a prime location. An absolute must on your weekend trip to Annapolis.

Harry Browne's is where we had my rehearsal dinner for my wedding as well as catered the breakfast for the wedding itself. They did an AMAZING job at an amazingly low price (including the wedding cake). The catering manager, Leanne, was terrific. They were so accomodating of all food and drink requests. Couldn't have been happier! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. We came for restaurant week and enjoyed everything so much. Wonderful service. The filet with wilted spinach and crispy onions was to die for! So flavorful!! read more

So good. The fried green tomato caprese was delicious. The cheese was soft and buttery and the tomatoes were perfectly fried not to mention the aged balsamic that really pulled it all together. I had the pasta primavera with portobello bacon. I don't know what they did to those mushrooms but it was amazing. I haven't had better pasta primavera, it had so much flavor and was so vibrant on the plate. I had the Zinfandel (blend) that the waiter recommended, Wild Thing from Mendocino, CA. Absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to go again. read more

I am in Annapolis a few times a week and usually incorporate Harry Brownes as part of my visit. My husband and I participated in the Sept. Dinner/wine pairing. It was great and we met some wonderful people. The chef Anthony and Staff outdid themselves. Can't wait to try the Fall menu offerings. The Shrimp and Grits are still my favorite! read more

We have been going to Harry Brown's for 5+ years and always had great food and even better service. Not so much this last visit. We drove from Frederick,MD to Annapolis for brunch. Wish we had stayed in Frederick. We sat outside (which is nice) on a beautiful Sunday. We were seated but we were not even acknowledged for 40+ minutes. Understandable if the place was busy ... but it wasn't. The server (I think he may have been French) acted as if he was doing us a favor by waiting on us. The awful service was only eclipsed by the cold food. Something has CHANGED ... and not for the better! Too bad!! read more

We found Harry Browns on a stormy night in 2003. We found it magical and always have a meal there when we are in town. This time, again a stormy evening complete with a lightening storm, it was beyond expectation. Our waiter Tony and Allesandro the maitre d added to our experience. While we wish the table side tossed Ceasar would come back, we again give 5 stars to this iconic restaurant read more
