Harry Browne's

Servers whisk roasted quail stuffed with pancetta cornbread and grilled filet mignon to white-clothed tables. Dishes like these might have been served on a transatlantic cruise aboard the SS Normandie, which is the inspiration for the stately dining room's interior. Renowned for its lavish and art-deco decor, the 1930s-era cruise ship graces the dining room's walls in a color print—which was actually purchased on the ship—and the very same eye-catching zodiac globes that entranced guests in the ship's dining room dangle from the hammered tin ceiling at Harry Browne's. As guests dine on freshly angled bounty such as meaty lump crab cakes, grilled rainbow trout, and cream of crab stew, they can gaze out at views of the historic Maryland State House from the interior's façade of small-paned windows or on the outdoor patio, which is relatively free of feral lieutenant governors.
