Annabel Lee Tavern — Restaurant in Baltimore

1st let me say our server Kurt was great! There was another lady not our server who was just as good. The seating for me was very uncomfortable so she got us the only regular table. All the others are pub height. So that was awesome because the table was held for other ppl but they gave it to us! Our appetizer was The Oriole it was good. The sauces were great. I had seafood lasagna it was a little too salty with the cheeses. I should have complained abt what happened during dinner but I didn't want to spoil dinner for my friend she was totally enjoying her meal. A dude with dreadlocks came to the table I had taken an important txt. I didn't know who he was no chef uniform not even a Poe t-shirt all the other staff wore. First he demanded I acknowledge him and I didn't right away I was responding to my message. Then when I did I didn't understand what he was saying he bc his speech and grammar sucked from what I did hear. So this person had the audacity to do some atrocious finger movements I guess his version of facetious sign language certainly not ASL!! I was totally offended because I am a hard of hearing person! I didn't feel a need to explain myself to him either! I really started to give a formal complaint and not rate it poorly bc of one jackarse but he blew a good dining experience for me. If he was the chef or even cook he should have been more presentable than street clothes and all these bleach tipped dreadlocks piled on top of his head. A professional would have at least had a head covering when cooking food for an establishment! So there you have it! I didnt take any pictures. After the incident with dreadlocks I really lost my appetite and ended up taking my food with me. I'd like to add the decorum was awesome! It captivated me from the moment we entered.

Okay, so me and my fiancé are not originally from Baltimore, he found this place online. I am a HUGE Edgar Allan Poe fan and this place did not disappoint with its ambiance. But that is just ONE of the MANY things absolutely amazing about this place. When we went it was not busy at all although I’m sure even if it was it would not affect the service in any way because the service was top notch. Our server was attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Now we get to the food. OH. MY. GOSH. It was so good, I ordered the meatloaf and I can say I have never had a meatloaf dish “wow” me before...that was before this meal. The meatloaf was tender, savory, and seasoned perfectly, along with the potatoes and green beans it came with. I was blown away. We ordered a chocolate mousse for dessert and that was equally as amazing, not too sweet but also not too overpowering. We had a cocktail called “the raven” and it was SO strong but that’s what was good about it! You’re ordering a cocktail what do you expect? They have merchandise to purchase as well and I highly recommend buying something to remember this amazing place. It’s at least 4 days later and me and my fiancé STILL cannot stop talking about it. If you live in Baltimore or just passing through, I HIGHLY reccomend this place. Absolutely amazing. Would give higher than a 5 star review if I could. I want to come back to Baltimore from Chicago JUST to...

Annabelle Lee is an Edgar Allen Poe-themed restaurant that blends creativity, excellent food, and impeccable service. I've visited several times, and every single experience has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The menu at Annabelle Lee is nothing short of exceptional—every dish I’ve tried has been amazing. If you're in the mood for some appetizers, the Brussels Sprouts and Buffalo Mushrooms are absolute must-haves. The Crab Cake is cooked to perfection, and the Tell Tale’ Fried Chicken is a flavorful, crispy delight that will leave you craving more. I also highly recommend the Mango Vegetable Curry and the Honey Cajun Salmon—both dishes are bursting with flavor and show the kitchen’s true talent. If you want something more simple, you can't go wrong with the Meatloaf 2.0 or a cheeseburger. Don't forget to ask about the soup of the day. If they have the mushroom with blue cheese, GET IT!!

As for dessert, every single one is a treat, so you can't go wrong no matter what you pick. When it comes to cocktails, the Goldbug, Morbid Rumination, and Spirits of Dead are top-notch options that complement the atmosphere perfectly.

The service is always excellent—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, they make you feel like part of the family. Truly, there’s no bad choice on the menu. Annabelle Lee never fails to deliver an unforgettable dining experience! This spot is...
