Annabel Lee Tavern

We went on one of our very first dates here and wanted to come back to check out Restaurant Week. If you're looking to eat here, definitely make a reservation! It was packed on a Friday night, with lots of people dining and hanging out at the bar. We were seated quickly and all the staff we encountered were so friendly and attentive, even while dealing with a packed house. The wait time between ordering and receiving was long, but we completely understood as it was the first night of Restaurant Week rush. For cocktails, I had the Goldenbug, which felt like adult Butter Beer and was so yummy and warming. My husband had The Bells, a classic Old Fashioned, and he enjoyed it. Our food came out hot and fresh and it was delicious! The mini nachos were great but definitely could have used some layering for the topping, the bottom chips didn't get much but that didn't stop us from enjoying them all. The duck fat fries were absolutely delicious. My entree was the lemon herb chicken and crab with mashed potatoes and corn and it was amazing. I actually forgot it came with corn (dinner rush) so I took the picture before, but the corn kicked it up a notch! My husband had the grilled sirloin and it was cooked well, the sauce and mushrooms were a great complement, and the potatoes and veg were on point. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and the chocolate cake...and both were gone before our server came back, the perfect ending to the meal. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!

Annabelle Lee Tavern is the place to visit in Canton for some of the best crabcakes in the city, excellent Rubens, and absolutely scrumptious duck fat fries.Beyond the wonderful food, the cocktails, here are delicious, lean towards the smoky and herbal side, and our poured properly to absolutely knock your socks off.All of the bartenders here are wonderful people, and the dark atmosphere is wonderful for a date on a cold winter night.

Meh. We had duck fat fries and crispy Brussels as starters. Small portions for 1) a shareable and 2) the price. Especially when it became clear the fries are food service fries. My friends enjoyed their entrees - seafood lasagne and a crab ravioli casserole from the specials menu - but mine was just ok. For $40 I did expect a more substantial fried seafood platter (also from the specials menu) but tempered that disappointment with the knowledge they're always bigger at a seafood restaurant. It was half a fried lobster tail, four shrimp, six mussels, small flounder filet, and a mini crab cake. The crab cake was easily the best part and I'm not even a crab cake girl usually. Shrimp were ok. Mussels were good but 2 of them didn't open so I really only got 4 edible. Fish was too fishy so I left it behind. Lobster had promise but was heavily overcooked. There was a small portion of fries as well. They were just ok as well. Dessert was when it got comical. My friends chipwich was had cold cookies she couldn't even cut through with her spoon. Our server (Maya, who was an absolute delight) noticed her face and pulled someone aside to bring her a replacement. Those cookies were soft, but also cold. My other friend and I ordered bread pudding and considered sharing. So glad we didn't. The sliver that showed up on our plates for $12 a piece truly had me wondering if I was being messed with. He laughed so hard he choked. I cannot believe anyone thought that was justified. I was on board for a second try, ordering off the regular menu, but after that I won't be back. Pity as it's so close to me and people seem to love it. I was underwhelmed and annoyed.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner in this Poe themed bar. The crab cake sandwich was wonderful, paired with the sweet potato fries and slaw... I left VERY full. Service was also great! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly, attentive, and everything was quick. I'd love to come here again!

I had been wanting to eat here for years and went last year around Valentine's Day. I got the crab cake dinner which was very good. Being an Edgar Alan Poe fan, I love the theme and decor. Would love to go back again soon!

Had an amazing dinner at the Annabel Lee last night! Such a cool spot with gothic decor and great lighting. Our server was absolutely the best, really cool guy who chatted with us about Baltimore. Food was excellent. The mac & cheese with meatloaf was so good!! Everything was a hit. Seats outside next to the fire were a great touch. I can't wait to come back and visit again!

This place is a gem. Food was very good. Drinks were awesome! Service was excellent. Nice intimate atmosphere. My only critique is the low top chairs weren't very comfortable. We will definitely come back.

I've heard good things about Annabel Lee so I was excited to see them on the list for Baltimore City Restaurant Week this summer. I went with a friend and we ordered different items on the restaurant week menu and shared them. I ordered the mac and cheese and the lemon butter chicken and crab and my friend ordered the duck fat fries and the seafood lasagna. The mac and cheese and fries were so good. The fries were so perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also enjoyed my friend's seafood lasagna. The lemon butter chicken and crab was ok but was a tad bit bland. I enjoyed it as leftovers when I was able to add my own seasoning. Overall, I thought the food options were solid. The drink we ordered was sooo tasty and strong. I also liked the dim and mysterious feel that the bar ambience gave.

TLDR: good cocktails and even better food. Easy parking on a Friday night and wasn't too crowded. Service was great too.Stopped here with some friends after work and surprisingly there was plenty of street parking on a Friday afternoon. I'm not sure if that's the norm, but a pleasant surprise for sure.We were all seated pretty quickly since we were the first customers. The place seems like it would be a fun local spot during more busy hours, but I didn't mind it being empty either. We started off ordering a Vincent Price which was a delicious bourbon cherry cocktail as well as a Manhattintinnabulation. That is not a typo lol. Both were great. As far as food, I had the jalapeño fries, flatbread, and brown sugar salmon. All were excellent, but the jalapeño aoli on the fries really stood out. I'll definitely be back

Love this cute little spot. The decor is so moody and intimate and romantic. I love the Edgar Allen Poe theme as well. The drinks did not disappoint! The food was very yummy as well. They always add great things to the menu. The outdoor seating is also nice when the weather is warmer! I thought the service was decent as well!
