Bygone Daisy

The Bygone is definitely worth visiting for the views alone. Located on the 29th floor of the hotel, it offers stunning 365-degree views of Baltimore, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to take it all in. Whether you're stopping by for cocktails or a full meal, the setting is beautiful, and the bar has an impressive variety of drinks. The bar staff was also super friendly and welcoming. One thing I noticed was the DJ booth above the bar. Unfortunately, on a Saturday night around 9:00 p.m., there wasn't much of an atmosphere. The music was so low and monotone that you could barely hear it, and the entire space felt a bit stuffy. With views like these, I expected a much livelier vibe. Someone who visits regularly told us this place used to be much more energetic when there was a DJ, but lately it's become pretty quiet. I can definitely see the potential because the venue itself is gorgeous--it just seemed to be missing the energy that would make people want to stay. We ended up leaving after one drink because the atmosphere felt like a bit of a yawn. That said, I'd still recommend stopping in for a cocktail and to enjoy the incredible views. Hopefully they'll bring back the DJ and revive the fun, vibrant atmosphere this place seems built for.

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!

Truly a memorable experience. I felt very special as soon as I entered the restaurant. The staff was so warm and friendly. Beautiful wall of wines as we walked to our table. The food is expensive, but it was worth the experience. There was a sauce that was used on the prime rib that was amazing. I honestly came just to have the potato puree. Best thing I've ever eaten. The view is reason enough to go.

The views from The Bygone are amazing! We stopped in here somewhat early on a Friday night. We had just come from happy hour so we opted for a few bar bites and dessert. We ordered the pineapple and peanut butter cake to share as well as the strawberry toast and meatballs. The guava on the pineapple cake was fresh. I wasn't a fan of the bar bites, the meatballs were lukewarm and the lack of flavor made them feel overpriced. I wouldn't order what had again. The bartenders were attentive and welcoming. It was my birthday so the bartender offered us a champagne toast to celebrate which was an amazing touch. I'd definitely return but I'd opted to come back and try the cocktails since we missed them this time around. The views were 5/5 The food was 3/5 The service was 4/5

Crab dip and pretzel bites.

Fantastic! Very expensive! Drinks are strong, food is delicious. Definitely a treat yourself or special occasion place. Our waitress was really knowledgeable on wines and food pairings. Table of two. We ordered the tuna tar tar, a seafood platter, crab dip with pretzel bites, filet mignon - with a cheese foam, the shishito peppers, and roasted carrots. All cooked perfectly. The Cesar salad was a bit too intense for us -- lots of anchovies. Incredible view of the city! Memorable dinner experience!

We had an amazing experience at Bygone! The food was absolutely delicious, and our waiter, KJ, made the evening even better. He was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout our meal. The wine he recommended paired perfectly with my prime rib. Between the beautiful atmosphere, excellent food, and outstanding service, it was truly a memorable dining experience. I would definitely return!

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

Caviar
Quels P.

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.

Brunch buffet (not including the omelet station, meat carving stations and caviar table)
Kristina D.

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!

Heirloom Tomato Toast: grilled sourdough, fresh goat cheese, peaches, pin nuts, and mint

I tried a glass of the 2024 Karl Josef Piesporter, and it was sweet without being overwhelming. It has a laid back vibe, so there's no rush to leave. It's a great place to sit and chat for a while. They're dog friendly, though I will say the dog next to us got a little active with their friend, which was a bit distracting. Overall, it still had a quaint atmosphere. The service was on the slower side, but we weren't in a rush. Just keep that in mind if you're looking for a quicker stop because this spot might not be your best pick. I really enjoyed the wine and the waterfront views, so I'll definitely be back!

And I would say it was a bad start...now to give them a little credit the wine was good and we also received a free shot from the bartender. But other than that it was downhill. Now my man had already paid for brunch which we were completely disappointed because when I tell you it was bare!?! I've never seen a "brunch" that didn't come with pancakes, French toast, some type of meat to choose from etc. This buffet "brunch" had quiche, soupy shrimp and grits, smoked salmon, bagels, and Caesar salad. Are you serious!? If he didn't get the discounted tickets it would have costs $40/pp!? Then on top of that they add 20% gratuity and the bill came out the over $90!!! And this is with (2) glasses of wine and one cocktail he got. Now he didn't show me the check but how in the hell is that work $90!?! So I don't know if they charged us for the "free" shot!?! The restaurant inside was pretty nice and put together for a small venue size. The outdoor area was set up nicely to be shaded from the sun and see and feel the water and people watch. But it's a hell no for me...too overpriced and the buffet was trash.

I'm not often in Little Italy, so although they opened in 2025, I finally visited for the time a couple of weeks ago with my husband and two friends. Sisu is a wine bar and bottle shop. You can expect a great (and always changing) wine list that includes natural and biodynamic wines. They also offer cocktails and snacks. They brought us some complimentary popcorn to snack on and then we started ordering drinks. I had the last glass of a Pet Nat (everyone was jealous I got the last glass after they tried it). Everyone else had a glass or two of wine plus a cocktail (their espresso martini isn't on the menu but people love it, including my friend). The service was friendly. The bar is beautiful (a very cool, modern space that feels comfortable and open for such a small space), with bar seating and a few tables in the back. Their wine list is incredible. The list of wine bars in Baltimore is very short, but there's no doubt about it - Sisu is right up at the top. I can't wait to return. I'm sure I'll try to fit in a visit anytime I'm anywhere near the area.

There was about 8 of us and we were seated downstairs in the bar area at a high top. Despite there being a reservation, it felt like our party was a last minute thought. The table was cramped and the ambiance of the downstairs bar area was dingy and dimly-lit. Our server, who was also the only bartender, did his best to multi task all night, although his demeanor was not very warm or friendly. I ordered the gluten free version of the Samantha fettuccine. Despite this being the only noodle they don't make in house, I had to pay extra for it. Annoying, but not totally unexpected. What was disappointing was the total price for the dish. It came out to be almost $50.... I believe the pasta is marked as market price due to the inclusion of crab meat but when it arrived, there was barely any in the dish. The flavor of the sauce was good but definitely not worth the price tag. I won't be returning anytime soon.
