Harry Browne's

I had lunch at Harry Browne's for work a few weeks ago. We were a large party, and they sat us in a lovely room upstairs and served us a from a set menu (three options for entree). What I ate that day (salad, crab cake entree, and dessert) were all good, but the service and ambiance is really what has me wanting to go back when I'm next in Annapolis. The space is beautiful and reminds you of just how old Annapolis is. The space and the food together put Harry Browne's somewhere between upscale pub and historic tavern. There are lots of spaces in the building, including an upstairs bar that seems a great place for a drink. Overall, I was just impressed by my first Harry Browne's experience. I'd love to come back - not for work, maybe on a day I'm touristing around and taking in the city's history!

Harry Browne's upstairs is one of my favorite little nooks. We went for a work happy hour and had a lovely time. I love the pizza, and the espresso martinis are to die for. They have a good wine selection and the staff is so lovely and accommodating. Never a bad time :)

My second time here and I was again charmed. I can't decide if it's the food or service I like better. They are both excellent. The menu has dishes that are somewhat traditional Maryland staples but each one has a special twist that takes it to a new level. One of my favorites is the Roasted Local Oysters with Chorizo sausage, fresh mozzarella and garlic butter served with sliced baguette. YUM! But I also can't say enough about the service. The staff are super accommodating. It's almost like they can anticipate what you want or they try to imagine how to provide you with the best experience. This will always be at the top of my list when I visit Annapolis!

We were drawn in by the white table cloths and seeming elegance. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. The oysters were so heavily breaded I wasn't able to taste them. The "grits" were saucy and heavy with butter with 3 shrimp floating on topAs for the ambiance, it was incredibly noisy. The one saving grace was our wonderful waiter Alec who doubled as host.

Harry Browne is located right in the center of Annapolis and seems like it has been there a while. They have an upstairs that has a speakeasy vibe and looks like a fun place to have a drink. The food was solid. The pork chop was slightly overcooked but had good flavor. The calamari was good. I didn't understand what pizza was doing on the menu. Doesn't seem like that type of place plus it was average. The mushroom ravioli had good flavor. The crab soup was hearty and had nice flavor. Not sure why there wasn't music playing for dinner. Would have helped the ambiance. Overall, it was a nice meal. I would come back when visiting Annapolis. 3.5 stars is a fair rating. Will bump it to 4!

Such an amazing selection of chef inspired choices. The service was fantastic even with a large group.Highly recommend.

Harry Brown's is classy and laid back. We've been here several times on personal days celebrating events and loved it. But I was a little apprehensive because tonight was Valentine's Day and the kitchen would likely be fully challenged. I shouldn't have worried. Our server was attentive and helpful, the room was full of people but it wasn't loud or hectic and my cocktail was perfect. The entrees are all accompanied by a starch and vegetable. I ordered a rack of lamb that was seasoned beautifully and augmented by the au gratin potatoes and roasted Brussel sprouts. I'm anticipating the leftover lamb tomorrow. Hours later, I am still enjoying the memory of the tastes of my meal. This restaurant is classy without pompousness making the splurge a joy.

4 stars...Visiting a Brother at the Naval Academy and this joint was within walking distance, and a reservation assured we had a front row seat!Good wine selection, but they were out of my first choice(mid price) but recommended another of the varietal(high price)..we accepted and was a good one, though nearly double the price!Ordered the crab cakes and while the composition and abundance of crab was first rate, the size was on the small side. Served with hush puppies and asparagus, both good!Finished the night with a chocolate layer cake...mouse and cake and fudge frosting...great!Ambiance is old world bistro, service was wonderful and prompt, and prices were slightly above expectation.I'll have fond memories of this dinner because of the company joining me, but if I'm in the area I'll pop back for an encore...this joint makes the list!

Harry Browne's epitomizes the elegance and charm of Annapolis. For those seeking an authentic taste of local sophistication, this is the quintessential destination. With few establishments that rival its timeless appeal, our server, Katie, embodied the same level of excellence--truly a class act in every sense.

This was an anniversary dinner. A quiet tuesday night, but stillqubout 15 diners in and out. It felt like we could linger, and that was relaxing, and allowed our conversation to linger. I got soup du jour - gumbo, he got calamari for appetizer, then we both got blackened grouper for entree. We got a cocktail to start, then a Chablis with the fish. We worked out I don't like bourbon, and had a lovely evening. Would go there again. Thanks to our server Nicole, who was so friendly and efficient.
