    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.

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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This place has an excellent buffet style brunch. I was visiting Baltimore and we decided to come back here after 3 years. The quality of the food and service hasn't changed. If anything it improved (they didn't have caviar back in 2022). If you're into fresh oysters, shrimp, smoked salmon and all the components of a vibrant-looking tasty brunch I would highly recommend this place. Also, the venue is nice with beautiful views of the harbor. Totally worth the price!

    Came here with some friends for dinner for the first time and had a delightful shared meal! The service was surprisingly pretty good for a busy Thursday night at sunset. Our server was kind and helped us celebrate many accomplishments! The drinks were yummy and the food was decent. Will come back to try more menu items!

    The drinks are good and great service from our bartender but the ambiance is out of this world such a beautiful views inside & outside the restaurant

    Crab cake it was okay
    Stacy M.

    I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place, so I decided to check it out for myself on my birthday. First off, while reservations aren't required, I highly recommend making one to ensure you get a table. They do require a credit card on file and have a 72-hour cancellation policy, which is something to keep in mind. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM. When we arrived, we found out valet service was no longer available, so we had to park in the garage, which cost $19. After walking through the hotel, we checked in and were directed to the elevators. Once upstairs, you have to check in again at the host stand, and your entire party must be present before they seat you. My husband was still parking, so we had to wait. We were eventually seated at a small table near the window, which I had requested. They gave our original table away. The concierge stated the other table was not in a good spot. Shortly after being seated, our server accidentally spilled water all over the table and walked away without an apology. Thankfully, a staff member from the concierge team came over, apologized sincerely, and offered us a complimentary shrimp cocktail, which was actually quite good. Our server was otherwise friendly and attentive. We ordered the mac and cheese, crab cake, crab dip, chicken breast, and the "Daisy" cocktail. For my birthday, they brought out a complimentary vanilla sundae -- a nice gesture, though it wasn't particularly Overall, I'd say the experience was just okay. The food and service were decent, but not quite on par with the high prices. If you're curious and want to say you've been, it's worth going once -- but for me, it's probably not a place I'd return to.

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.

I have never been splashed in the face during the shaking of a drink that was being made by the bartender. The bartender was of a different race and seemed annoyed by my presence from the jump. I had been splashed in the face twice until a customer of his race came and sat next to me. I did pay attention to his behavior while the woman was seated next to me and his drink mixing wasn't as aggressive. I had to go to the bathroom during my visit and told him I would pay before going to the bathroom so he wouldn't make any assumptions about me. I asked him to keep my drink behind the bar because the woman was still seated next to me. I came back and the woman eventually left. I was still finishing my drink and I was splashed 2 additional times. The last time I made him aware of what he was doing. His apology was disingenuous and passive aggressive. I left after this even though I had intentions on ordering desert and listening to the musicians that were about to get started. I did inform the manager about my experience prior to leaving. I'm leaving the review bc the experience still bothers me. If they have cameras at the bar I'm sure my reaction to the splashing can be observed.

Dessert was excellent- we split the chocolate guava tart.
