The overall experience was great. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and is by the water. The server was attentive and personable. She had good menu knowledge and offered recommendations. The food was tasty and well presented. Food service was timely and competitively priced. I only have one suggestion on the food. I would upgrade the quality of the ribeye. The steak was by no means bad but I would have preferred a better quality steak.

We were seated immediately for our 5:30 pm reservation. Our server, Juquon, was friendly, informative,and prompt.The food was amazing, starting with our appetizer of butternut squash bisque, which was more than amazing, I could drink a gallon of it. Every dish to follow was fantastic, I've never been to a restaurant where every solitary dish tasted great. No complaints can't wait to go back. Make sure you try the sweet potato bread pudding for dessert.

My crab cake dinner was well prepared and quite delicious. The server was very courteous, attentive, professional, efficient and proficient. The ambience in the Rusty Scupper was very nice and the restaurant's window table view of the beautiful Inner Harbor at night was quite magical.

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.
