    3 way chicken-fried, roasted, and grilled chicken

    Bygone fully redeemed themselves!! We had amazing time celebrating a birthday! From the moment we walked into the restaurant, EVERYONE was cordial, attentive, and very helpful. Our host and server were very knowledgeable of the menu and drink options, and made excellent recommendations....and our table attendants were also efficient and kind. Our food was absolutely delicious (and expensive) and was brought out in a timely manner. The ambiance is sophisticated and trendy, with our booth having velvet back seating and beautiful low lights. Even though the restaurant is wonderfully styled, the vibe at night is a must see. Parking at the Four Seasons is available through garage, and valet, but you can also find street parking on the next street over. Overall, Highly recommend!

    What an experience. We were able to secure a walk-in table on a Saturday for the Mrs and our baby. They have a great view and the service was so thoughtful and caring. We really were made to feel like honored guests. The food came in - Australian rack of lamb, prime rib, and half dozen oysters. We had a red wine to pair with our meat. Deliciously cooked to perfection while being served at an excellent level with a nice view of the city.

    Came here for a a Birthday Party on Super Bowl Sunday. It was a great experience. It's located on the 29th floor of the 4 Seasons Hotel. You have the option for valet at $26 or self parking at 25. Since I didn't want to take that cold walk I did valet. The birthday celebration was held in an upstairs room. They were kind enough to bring a TV up so we could watch the game. The best thing about the Bygone was the views. Spectacular seeing the city lights at night. Only had drinks there. The Old Fashioned I had was a little on the sweet side. I also had a seasonal Checkerspot Brewery beer that was on draft. Service for the birthday celebration was impeccable. The bar tender was great. I wish I could remember his name. He was very knowledgeable and made some great drinks. They have a huge selection of spirits so you can get just about any cocktail you can think of. I would like to come back for a dining experience one day.

    We chose to dine here to celebrate our move to Baltimore. We came on a Monday night so it was not very busy. I love a quiet, romantic restaurant with a view, this fit the bill perfectly. The views of the Inner Harbor from our corner table were fabulous. The decor is chic and old school glam, I loved it. We opted for the tasting menu. Each plate was artistically presented and thoughtfully prepared. The chef even came out and explained one of the courses. I sincerely enjoy all of the effort and talent that goes into creating this type of feast. So why only three stars? The service and the timing of the courses. The service was odd (by committee) some courses explained, others not. There were huge stretches of time between a few of the plates. We were not offered extra bread during these times. When we requested a bit more, there was a definite eye roll vibe. Certain courses that I am positive were meant to be served hot were indeed not. We were checked on frequently during the first half of the meal, the second half we could not even get water refills. Finally, there was a palate cleanser that was a bit tricky to eat, and one of the waitresses came by and made a snarky comment. We have enjoyed many tasting menus. At this point in my foodie life, my expectations are pretty high for both taste, presentation, and service. Especially at this price point. This place missed the mark.

    Views, views, views!!! Did I mention full 360° panoramic views of the entire city? The Bygone is on the 29th floor of the Four Seasons and truly has one of the most breathtaking dining views in Baltimore. It's worth coming just for that alone. The ambiance feels glamorous and old-school Gatsby meets modern rooftop lounge. The service was attentive and kind, and the energy of the place makes it perfect for a date night or drinks with friends. The food (prime rib, bygone burger, and crab cake) and cocktails are good, though for the price point there are certainly stronger options in the city. Still, if you're going for the vibes and views, The Bygone definitely delivers

    Brunch at The Bygone is a *vibe*--think sky-high views, luxe decor, and a waiter with A+ banter. I booked a week ahead and scored a window seat, which was worth it alone. Tried nearly everything (caviar excluded). The carved meats? Stellar. That salmon? A love letter. Steak? Perfectly medium rare, with a DIY option if you're a well-done type. Fruit was fresh, desserts were meh. Downside: salty bacon, confused French toast (hard *and* soggy?), and forgettable sausage. Would I brunch again? Probably not. But dinner? I'm intrigued. Come for the view, stay for the steak. skip the French toast.

    Went for brunch. The rooftop restaurant is gorgeous with great views and the service was prompt and thoughtful. The brunch buffet spread was lovely with items ranging from chilled seafood and charcuterie to standards like eggs and sausage to an omelet station, meat shaving station and caviar table. It was very chic and I definitely plan to go back!

    Very pleasant atmosphere I enjoyed the view and the drinks too. They have a great selection on the menu and I would definitely recommend this place.

    Excellent views, okay drinks. Located on the top floor of the Four Seasons; must take back right elevator to get there. Definitely worth it to come for the gorgeous views during the day or at night, and might as well order a drink, which will be stronger than you expect and on the mid-to-high price range. Standard service. Rooftop bar and restaurant.

    Very nice views. Staff were nice. The food was very good. I would definitely come back.

    The restaurant was nice. The hotel entrance to get to the penthouse was lovely. When you arrive to the left is the host. To the right the have a wall full of wine. Beautiful bathrooms. I loved the photos of the different celebrities. The food was decent I wish the portion size was bigger for the price and bit more seasoned. But the experience was great. I was excited to see they had mocktails which was very nice and refreshing. You can also go outside on the balcony which had a great view.

    Special thanks to Ashanti and staff at the Bygone! My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at the Bygone last night. We had an incredible evening. The food was exceptional and our server Ashanti was amazing. We arrived in daylight and were able to watch the sunset as we ate. The server even had a handwritten happy anniversary card from our friends at rhe Bygone! Thanks again for a wonderful evening!

    From the moment I stepped off the elevator, I knew this was going to be a special experience. They greeted me by name--no need to check in twice. The attention to detail was impeccable. Our journey through the menu was expertly guided by our captain, who was knowledgeable, intuitive, and truly elevated the experience. She was so exceptional that I way over-tipped--happily. Being from NY, I took my daughter for a special dinner, not expecting the breathtaking views we had. But as stunning as the views were, the flavors kept us focused on the food. The shaved truffles over a perfectly cooked egg? A flawless bite. And that was just the beginning. It only got better from there. I'll be back every chance I get. While my daughter staying in Maryland after college is reason enough to visit, Beyond is a very close second.

Located on the top level of Crossbar Biergarten, The Wurst is a true hidden gem. You would never know it was there unless someone told you. The entrance is literally a walk-in freezer door just to the left of the stairs on the second floor, which adds to the fun speakeasy feel. We stopped in for pregame drinks before a nearby Yelp Elite event, and it did not disappoint. We were the only ones in the bar, and our bartender was fantastic, quick, friendly, and clearly knew his craft. I ordered a Paper Plane, a whiskey based cocktail with Aperol, lemon, and Amaro Nonino. It was perfectly balanced and the ideal drink to have after work. My fiancée ordered the Pornstar Martini, which she became very familiar with during a recent trip to Paris. The Wurst's version was a bit unorthodox since they serve the champagne on the side instead of as a floater on top. Not a negative, just different, and more of a deconstructed approach that some might treat like a chaser. Overall, The Wurst is a really cool concept bar that feels unlike anything else in Federal Hill. Between the hidden entrance, relaxed atmosphere, and quality drinks, it is definitely worth checking out if you enjoy creative cocktails and a good story to go with them.

Given my experience with DC and other parts of MD, I was determined to contact them ahead of time and make sure I would have a spot for brunch. But after some contact on IG, they said it's just walk-ins and I would most likely get a table with no effort or wait. I was concerned... but they were right! So we got settled immediately and started ordering. Our gracious server asked for drinks, which have a bottomless option during brunch. We could pick from mimosas, crushes, sangria and bloody marys. I tried everything but the bloody marys, and while they were good, whew there was a lot of ice in the mimosa... I'm not used to ice there, so it threw me off but it was still good! The REAL highlight was the food... the item I got changed my life: Crab. Cake. Eggrolls. They came with this amazing sweet chili sauce and were so filling and delicious! I also got chicken & waffle sliders to go that had a nice kick and the waffle texture was great! My cousin enjoyed his food as well. Also, shout out to the bagel wall that's on the way to the bathroom. It had great options and all the fixings! If I wasn't full I would've gotten one myself. I will return here for brunch.

They offered a variety of items: deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, chicken and waffles, beef and chorizo quesadillas, sausage, home fries, and French toast. They advertised fruit salad on the menu but they didn't have it out on the day we went. For starters, the food was lukewarm. Everything could have tasted so much better if it was warm. Even when they would refill the pans, everything was still not warm enough. The restaurant was not packed but they were slow to refill for the parties that were there. When we tried to go back for a second plate, most of the items weren't replenished and the line was getting longer. It was so bad that one group asked to pay for their drinks and leave because they weren't able to get any food. My option of each item: Deviled eggs- yolk mixture was on the drier side and bland Scrambled eggs- they were ok. Just needed to be warm Chicken and waffles- it was giving "chicken tender on eggo waffle" chicken was better than the bland waffle. It also didn't help that the syrup they had was cold and thick. It made the waffle (and French toast) colder and hard to swallow. French toast- the first batch was (with the exception of being cold) perfectly cooked and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. The refill batches were so burnt and hard to chew and they didn't bother putting powdered sugar on them. Again, the cold syrup didn't help. Beef and chorizo quesadillas- they may have been a crowd favorite because getting a second serving was hard because they kept going quickly and took a while to replenish. They just needed to be warmer and served with sour cream. Home fries- great with the peppers and onions. Just need to be warmer. Sausage- my least favorite thing because it didn't taste like Sausage. It was very dry. Sadly, the food was a epic fail. This may be a great place for cocktails because the bartender mixed our margaritas perfectly. They had a Build Your Own Margarita menu with many different flavor options. I opted for the watermelon margarita with a Tajin rim. Delicious! My friend had a pineapple mango margarita with sugar rim and he was impressed also. The drinks earned them an extra star because otherwise, I think the food and the slow refilling of the buffet earned it 2 stars.
