Wanted to treat my wife to a special birthday meal. Beautiful location and views. Excellent service as you should expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Wonderful evening. Two disappointments - if you like rare prime rib ( isn't this the only way ), the preparation method here doesn't produce it. Our waiter said it will be medium rare but it was full on medium. If you like it rare, don't order it here, plenty of other great offerings to choose from. I also thought the bone marrow was a bust. A lot of money for almost nothing. Otherwise. All the other dishes in the photos were great read more

Out of all the years I've worked and lived in Baltimore, I never had made my way to Bygone, until now. We entered the Four Seasons and there were many signs that indicated where the rooftop bar was located. Luckily since we had a reservation, we were able to skip the line. We got upstairs and I exited Baltimore and entered NYC or Toronto. The vibe was immaculate. We had a table reserved luckily, so got a view as well. We started off with two drinks which were pretty good. I enjoyed that they had pictures of the drinks on the menu; was a nice small, but helpful touch. Even though we came from dinner, the sides and desserts looked appetizing. We ordered the: 5 cheese Mac n Cheese 5/5 - it was ooey gooey and melty. The cheese pull game was so strong! I was so full, but I couldn't stop eating! Crème brûlée 5/5 - honestly the ice cream made this dessert. It was the perfect amount of crispiness on the top, to creamy on the inside, to cold ice cream. The music was very much old school rap and hip hop and pop. It didn't really seem to match the vibes of the place, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it. I can't begin to talk about the service though. Seriously 100/10. Our waitress was so attentive and answered all and any questions we had about the food or drinks. We even wanted to walk around/go outside that she was kind enough to make sure no one sat at our table. There was a mishap with the bill and the sweet girl would not even accept the tip we wanted to give her, but I still made sure she got it! She also did a small little celebration for my friend's birthday with sparklers and an ice cream dessert. Another server randomly came to our table and gave us 2 glasses of champagne because our "table seemed empty" while we were waiting for our other drinks. I would definitely recommend this place for either a fancy date or a birthday! read more

The food was delicious the wait staff was so attentive. The restaurant is beautiful and the deck view was amazing . I think I was so impressed with the ambiance and views more than anything. There is a dress code and it does sit on n top of the four seasons hotel over looking the harbor. read more

I had a great time at the Bygone! They have a beautiful view overlooking the harbor. Some nights they have a DJ and they do serve food. I usually get their Fine & Dandy ($20) cocktail, which is light and refreshing with notes of pear and elderflower. This time I tried something a little out of my comfort zone. Our bartender, B. Will (Britt), knows her stuff. She made our cocktails at ease and definitely contributed to the fun atmosphere and that really elevated our experience. I decided to try the Blind Tiger ($17), which has rye whiskey, rum, blackberry, lemon, rosemary and benedictine. I have had a few cocktails with benedictine in it so I knew what I was in for. B. Will lightly lit the rosemary sprig on and the aroma was heavenly! Every sip immediately smelled like incense and I truly enjoyed it. I also would recommend the Bygone Daisy ($18), which was also very light and refreshing with strawberry, lemon, and sparkling wine. Great service and beautiful views! read more

The Bygone, a very top-shelf, fine dining restaurant, holds court on the 29th floor of the sensational Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore. It offers upscale cuisine of the classical American kind, although much of its menu is of a French flavor, along with custom crafted cocktails and an unprecedented whiskey selection. Bygone presents its guests with sweeping views of the Inner Harbor, a nice surrounding touch for ambiance. We didn't dine on this particular visit, so this review is solely for the bar experience. Which was a perfect way to end the night. Every cocktail my party experienced was crafted to perfection, so no complaints here. You might even lose all sense of time and space like we did from intoxicating views and libations one after another.service was unerring, which made it hard to depart, so we didn't we mingled among the city views until the lights came on...SMH ..LOL! OH WELL.. Mine you, the Bygone is not for the thirty, so bring your piggy bank...Lol. I'm definitely anticipating my next visit to take in the breathtaking views overlooking the city. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience even if it's only for drinks. read more

Oh bygone... how to review you. Bygone can be a nice elegant restaurant to go out for a nice meal or it can be the rowdiest hang out spot for people who have finished their event and looking to keep the good times rolling. I can't deal with it late night in a Fri or Sat, too many people packed in like sardines and its a minor miracle to get a drink. The rooftop views are always spectacular and its nice to go to a place that actually demands you wear more than jeans and a tshirt. The food is similar to other Atlas restaurants, heavy on the salt and butter, but palatable. read more

The Bygone is the perfect place to watch the sunset and Baltimore's night skyline. Entering through the Four Seasons hotel sets the expectation for elegance and indulgence. The decor leans towards a masculine feels with the dark and earthy tones interior decor. Loved the velvet padded elevator walls. Exiting the elevator, you're met with an inviting wine cellar. It's a beautiful display. I ordered drinks at the bar. I asked the bartender to make me a twist on the French 75. She made it with Chareau Aloe liqueur. It was delicious. The bar area wasn't crowded. There were couches available by the windows. The outside patio area is nice to enjoy the cool summer breeze. Because of the recent poor air quality, I couldn't sit outside. There is also a tabletop fire pit for colder days. If you're looking for an elegant rooftop with great drinks, and a mature crowd, this is the place to be! read more

I've gone to The Bygone a few times recently for drinks and for their Sunday brunch for the first time. The city views are amazing and it's great to see them at night as well as during the day. Everything at the Bygone is pricey but quite worth it and Sunday brunch was no exception at $75 per person. You do get a good spread of your basic brunch selections like eggs, bacon, fruit, bagels and pastries. But also included are cocktail shrimp, raw oysters, charcuterie spread along with a prime rib, make your own omelette and waffle station. To end the already large selection of brunch items is the dessert table with baked goods such as slices of cake, cookies, macarons, and cupcakes. Everything was really great for a brunch buffet and my dining partner and I definitely ate our fill. The ambience is great and service is quite on point here. Expensive outings at the Bygone but quite worth it for special occasions! read more

We went on a Sunday for brunch. It was all you can eat and I was in love everything they had was fresh it taste amazing and there was so many options now I will say it is a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it. You also get a nice view of Baltimore city and this restaurant is on the 29th floor of the four seasons. The service that I received from our Server was amazing if you're looking to celebrate a birthday a graduation or just even a really nice date night this is it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you're ready to spend some money. read more

We've come here for drinks before, which is perfect - the cocktails are good, the views are better, you get to feel like you're somewhere fancy and plush but it doesn't honestly break the bank (cocktails are expensive everywhere these days). If you eat here, obviously you have to be aware it's a "BPSP" restaurant (that stands for big prices small portions... I made up the acronym but feel free to use it), and you generally need a reservation to even get seated. Having said that, the food was pretty good, it's hard to say if it's good enough to warrant the prices but I felt satisfied with everything we ate and ordered. The wait staff was really nice, and if you ask for a window table they will apparently honor your request (at least that's what I heard), so overall it's a nice experience! read more

Expectations were high, but the reality a bit less convincing. We did do a fairly small reception with a few bites on the go. And at best, it was ok. But either it was nearly impossible to eat certain items without utensils or they were otherwise just mediocre. Service was friendly but slow. Getting a drink to just a little bit more than an eternity. But the view was great, even onto the recently damaged/collapsed Baltimore bridge. read more

TLDR: I seriously don't know why this restaurant doesn't have a higher rating. This place is stunning, the food was SO GOOD, and I found the service to be excellent and attentive. GET the gnocchi and mac and cheese, you won't regret it. This was the perfect venue for a birthday we were celebrating, and they made it so special for us. Coming back here for sure. FOOD: 1. [MUST TRY] GNOCCHI (5/5): Top dishes I've had in all of 2023.... Seriously, this was just incredible. The black truffle aioli was to die for. GET THIS. 2. [MUST TRY] MAC AND CHEESE (5/5): VERY GOOD mac and cheese, and I have had a lot of mac and cheese sides in my life. 3. CHICKEN 3 WAYS (4.5/5): Really cool idea and overall delicious, the only thing was that the chicken breast was a tiny bit dry. 4. LOUIE THE CRAB (4/5): Fantastic dressing, fresh crab (though for me, I think fresh seafood isn't my absolute favorite since the crab meat just wasn't very flavorful without the dressing), and HUGE portion. I could have split this with someone else as my main and that still would have been enough food. Very generous amount of crab meat. 5. KEY LIME PIE (4/5): Got a deconstructed key lime pie dessert that was one of the most unique desserts I've ever had. I really enjoyed eating this, and it was plated beautifully, though by the end I wish it was half deconstructed and half a slice of normal key lime pie :) Still, tangy, the graham pieces were delicious, and the meringue was slightly sweet. Overall very cool dessert. 6. [EXTRA SHOUTOUT] They gave us an ADDITIONAL dessert (cake with ice cream and whipped cream on top) with this beautiful sparkler for the birthday. This dessert was simple yet delicious and I've never been to a high end place that has given a whole extra dessert just for a birthday. What a great touch. ----- ENVIRONMENT (5/5): - What can I say, come here for some of the best dinner views of Baltimore. We were sat at a beautiful table overlooking the inner harbor and got to watch the sub set over Baltimore. - Inside, the atmosphere was posh, elevated, and calm. I loved it - Everyone was dressed up for dinner, though I will say that we also came on East Sunday (we had no problem getting a reservation) ----- SERVICE (5/5): - I really loved our server. He was sweet, accommodating, and very attentive. - We wanted to sit by the windows in our area but those tables were all already taken but by the time dessert was served, they were empty. We asked if we could have dessert at the table next to us by the window and they were quick to accommodate, which we really appreciated - They came out with the sparkler but we were waiting to get moved to the new table so we couldn't get a picture with the sparkler in time. Without even asking, the waiter came back with another sparkler and lit it so that we could get pictures. That was the cherry on top of the wonderful night. read more

Service was definitely a 10/10. I don't recall our servers name but she was Filipino. Upon walking in we were greeted and seated in about 2-3 minutes. We ordered: Drinks: -2 glasses of Miraval, Côte de ProvenÇe 2022 -classic margarita -caesar salad (6/10) -Bygone signature prime rib (2) (10/10) -36 hour short rib (10/10) -broiled Maryland crab cake (8/10) -old bay poached shrimp (7/10) Sides: mac and four cheeses, pommes purée, and roasted baby carrots (all were great 9/10) Dessert: -2 brownie and bananas (8/10) Different but very good. Overall, from service to views and the food, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Will be back! read more

I went to the bygone buffet for brunch which is usually on Sundays a couple of months ago. I think the all you can eat was $75, it was well worth it, they had a wonderful selection, from oysters, gulf shrimp, made to order omeletes, waffles, u get the picture. The drinks were overpriced tho. Next time i go there, will just get juice or just a drink. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was attentive. Will definitely go there again. read more

The view and the ambiance are what it's all about. Otherwise, I'd put this at Ruth Chris level for where people go to be pretentious and pretend they're ballin. The food is too expensive for my blood (good thing I wasn't paying the one visit when I actually ate!) and the portions on some of the food items my companions got were TINY given the price of them! I ordered the prime rib, which was actually pretty good, but the au jus was lacking in flavor. My side of asparagus was also good, but there were only like 5 or 6 of them. Those 2 items alone cost $75. Decent beer selection, and all the cocktails are very pretty. I definitely enjoy hanging out at the bar more than sitting at a table to dine. Much like other reviews I've read, I suggest eating elsewhere and having a nightcap at The Bygone. It'll make you feel all grown and sexy! read more

All I can say is Wow! I don't know why it has taken me so long to try out The Bygone. The overall experience checked off all my boxes. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of Baltimore. We had a reservation on Sunday night for 6:30, which was perfect time, as the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Our waitress took great care of us offering her recommendations while also answering our questions about the menu. Top items for me were...the crab dip served with these delicious warm pretzel bites, the Rack of lamb which was perfectly cooked served with this delicious sauce, and the Holland Dover Sole (out of control) the sauce this fish is served with is packed with so many amazing flavors. Oh...how could I forget the Mac and cheese...mind blowing. This Mac and cheese is smoky, creamy and well seasoned. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. We devoured it all!! read more

We visited during the early evening of May 10, 2025. The service provided to us was outstanding. The ambiance was nice and of course the views are beautiful. For cocktails, we each had a Dita's Parlor which was good if maybe needing a bit more hibiscus. We began with Russian Osestra caviar which was nicely presented along with a glass each of Champaign. For brevity, everything we ate was amazing, staff was top notch. Highly recommend. read more

We went to the Bygone on Sunday for their brunch buffet. It was an okay sized buffet. I think for the price I should have lived to see more options. We were given a table with a city view. There are a handful of tables set on the inside of the restaurant that don't get as much of a view. Our server was fairly attentive and cleared our plates regularly. Here's a short list of what was included in the buffet: - Prime Rib station - Waffle station - Omelet station - Quiche - Bacon - Smoked salmon - Cocktail shrimp - Oysters - Cheeses & Sliced meats (pastrami, salami, etc.) - Pastries/bagels - Fruit - Dessert table (mini fruit tarts, mini cake, cookies) read more

I was SO DISAPPOINTED in a family brunch I'd really been looking forward to for quite some time. This was truly the most non-existent service I have EVER experienced from any restaurant! We had to remove the plates from our table since no one else did. Our server greeted us, then spent his time schmoozing with the couple near us. He did not return to the table until it was time to drop off the check. Of course his tip was already included on the bill for our 7 person brunch. He had nothing to work for. After paying, I shared our experience with the manager at the time. Not even a simple apology. Very sad! read more

Pros: - Stunning view of Baltimore at night - Delicious drinks (espresso martini with shaved coffee bean on top! and paloma) - Luxurious ambiance - Fire-pit outside for the winter nights Cons: - Extremely expensive drinks (~$20+ each) - Wait for drinks is extremely long - Wait to take the elevator up and down was also long Will return for the view and a drink or two, but may try to go during a not-so-popular time! read more

The Bygone can be difficult to locate, but it is on the top of the four seasons hotel. The views of downtown Baltimore are absolutely stunning, though I wish the space were larger. I came with a large party, and felt like we were not welcome, despite having ordered bottle service and having a table reserved. The drinks at the bar are relatively standard, nothing special, and my gin and tonic was nothing to write home about. I think my experience would've been better if I had gone with a smaller party on a less busy night. read more

Baybeeeee The Bygone did not disappoint! Last week, i dined there for the first time for my birthday. It was everything! The service, food, desserts and patio were a win! It's located on the rooftop of the Four Seasons hotel. I took off a star because I didn't find the restaurant front desk staff the most welcoming or inviting. For my appetizers, I had the bygone seafood tower. For my entree. I had the 2lb whole Maine lobster. Being from Boston, I have High expectations for seafood outside of New England. Omg!!!! This was so good. There was a sophisticated and diverse vibe on that patio. It was good vibes. I'm glad I was able to experience my 40th bday here! It's a great place to celebrate, date night, engagements, wedding anniversary, girls night, and hang out. When you go, go picture ready! read more

Our party of two visited for dinner on Saturday, May 10, 2025. The service was top-notch all the way. We each had a Dita's Parlor cocktail. It was very good - maybe a tad more hibiscus would have been good but still good. We started with the Russian Osetra Royal Amber caviar. We were surprised with a glass of Champagne each. There was not even an itty-bitty egg left when we finished. The Smoked Halibut Rillette was delicious. The Parisian Gnocchi was the best gnocchi I have ever had, including during my trips to Italy (sorry, Italy and nonnas). They truly were like fluffy pillows; the sauce with the English peas, ramps, etc., was mouth-watering. It was a perfect dish for me. My daughter ordered the Koji-aged filet mignon, and I ordered the Dover Sole. One thing disappointed me, and that was that we were told that the fish would be deboned tableside, which would have been fun. That did not happen. I did not care for the Sole and switched out with my daughter and ate part of her filet. I am not a big fan of red meat, but it was good. As usual, we overordered and had the mac & cheese and asparagus. But they were very good, and ended up going home with us. lol To end the meal, we had an espresso and a coffee. Daughter ordered dessert but I cannot remember what it was. The amuse bouche was yummy and, bonus, I think I've found a way to get my daughter to eat radish! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Bygone was meh. Views are spectacular. I also liked the fire pit and outdoor seating. Why meh you asked? They need more bartenders. I'm not expecting immediate service as soon as I walk up but I'm also not expecting to wait 20 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge me. Music wasn't the best either.

We had reservations for 6 on Saturday at 6 for my father in-laws birthday. Once we all arrived we were quickly seated. The waiter brought my father in-law a happy birthday card which was a very nice gesture. We started off with appetizers and drinks. The dipping crab was Great! It comes with pretzels which were good also. I enjoyed it with the pretzels and the complimentary bread. The Caesar salad wasn't the best but it will do. My mother in-law ordered the zombie cocktail and she definitely could tell it was a zombie inside, I see why there is a two drink limit because she definitely enjoyed hers. My wife ordered the bygone daisy and enjoyed that as well. The waiter was often times near by and very attentive. In terms of the food: I ordered the prime rib. Tender and juicy. Rather large in size. I was skeptical of the food portions at first, My wife ordered the lamb chops which seemed bite size to me. For sides we ordered the Mac and cheese which I thought was delicious and the mashed potatoes. Aside from dinner there is a balcony outside with fire pits and chairs that overlook a great view. We took pictures at night but it probably would have been better to do at sunset. There is a bar separate from the dining area that was packed with people. Overall this was a nice experience. I'd definitely come back again. I enjoyed myself. Thank You Bygone. read more

Visited The Bygone last night for my birthday dinner. I had high expectations that quickly fizzled. Wait staff weren't very attentive to me it made not want to get dinner actually. On top of the menu not having much range (the menu is very similar to Ruth's Chris) and there wasn't an aroma of seasoned food in the air. I had a feeling the food would disappoint me, I decided to stick with dessert. The crème brûlée was really good! The city skyline views are the highlight, the decor reminds me of the old 20's and every dark. The views of Baltimore are great but I'm sure I would only return for drinks in the future or maybe brunch. read more

What took me so long to get here?! The views alone = breathtaking! Came here in January to celebrate a good friend's birthday! It was a Thursday evening. The place wasn't too packed. Some folks at the bar, some at tables. It was a cold winter night, I had on a party dress and heels, so I was not interested in walking too far. I didn't even bother looking for street parking. I parked in the garage under the hotel and it was only $10! Worth it! Our party of 6 enjoyed ourselves! I tried a few different cocktails - the Bygone Daisy and the El Diablo, both tequila based and tasty but my fave was the El Diablo, which has mezcal!! The bartenders were nice and personable! Didn't order any food but maybe next time! Yes I plan to come back! I need more pics! This place is perfect for a girls night out or date night! The ambience is sexy and grown! I won't recommend bringing the kiddos here! And most importantly, dress nice if coming! This is not your typical jeans and tennis shoes type of place!! Step ya game up!! read more
