My wife and I were celebrating our second anniversary. We were seated in the corner of the restaurant with a gorgeous panoramic view of the Harbor. We each had a cocktail to start with and they were fantastic. They brought some bread and then we started with the steak tartare. Both were fantastic. My wife was torn between two options and our waiter (John) was very helpful in helping her decide. We appreciated his help. She ordered the lobster and I ordered the steak. My steak was fantastic, but we didn't realize that the items we ordered are served with peppers which my wife strongly does not like. Without even an explanation he took her dish back saying it would be several minutes before another would be ready. Within seemingly five minutes the chef brought out a new one and she loved it. We ended our dinner with Creme brûlée. Delicious all the way around. We loved eating here and would definitely come back again! read more

Food was delicious and views are fantastic, but the service is definitely lacking. It was bad service for a regular restaurant, but for being at the Four Seasons and at that price point, the service is egregious and not worth dealing with. The servers had incorrect information about the food and drinks, service was very slow, and it was impossible to find someone to help at each step of the process (and it wasn't even that busy). At the end of the evening we had to actively search out someone to get our jackets back and once we found someone, it was if they were doing us a favor by getting the jackets. read more

So I decided I'd take my partner here for date night. It was last minute so we didn't have reservations but I called and the hostess said she would put us on the waitlist. I cannot tell you how bad treatment was this past Saturday night. First, we only ordered Mac and cheese. It was soup. The couple next to us ordered the same and the cheese pull was incredible. Second, we were never put on the waitlist and the server let us know that "she needed our table in 30 minutes". So I asked where we were on the waitlist, and we never were on the waitlist even though I told the hostess in person as well. The buffalo wings were amazing. When the hostess offered to "squeeze us in" at 9pm, we declined as we were completely turned off. You pay for the view and atmosphere. That's it. A server actually came up to us and said "anything for my people" we are colored and I don't care for someone to bring attention to my physical appearance when we are just trying to enjoying each other. I'm just disgusted at this place. We will not return. Disappointed in you Bygone read more

There was a group of 8 of us dining in at bygone. Let me mention we stopped in last weekend for drinks and loved the venue, amazing view, very nice vibe, Miami/LA feel. So My girlfriend made reservations for the following weekend to dine in. Firstly, she was warned upon making the reservation that we must arrive promptly as they do not hold tables and if we are late they can't guarantee anything. Ok, understood, new place, lots of people wanting to get in. We arrive exactly at 9pm to be told our table is not yet ready and to wait a bit. Ok, happens. 20 min later we were told yet again still not ready, just a bit longer, so sorry! Ok. Now it's Starting to get a bit frustrating but we were still somewhat tame. Another 15 later, still not ready! This is when we became irritable and had to lash out a bit. Lots of apologies-but that doesn't change the fact that we were seated almost an hour late! If you are going to tell your customers on the phone arrive promptly or your table is not guaranteed then I expect to be seated promptly as well! So already a shaky start! The waiter was very pleasant and welcoming which was calming. The cauliflower app was way salty and we sent it back, second time around was a bit better but not by much. Steak tartar was good, nothing amazing for the $$. Tuna app was average, at best. Scallops were fabulous-definitely the highlight for me. My husband and his buddy shared the lamb chop entree which is for two-cooked to perfection and tasted great. The Trout my girlfriend ordered was delicious. Let's get to my meal. Another girlfriend and I split the short rib-which is for two as well. My first bite was cold-I had to double check with my girlfriend that it wasn't just me, hers was cold too. Then something just told me to touch the meat-the bone and layer of meat above it was literally FROZEN! For $78 you serve me this!? Wow we were blown away! I mean they took it back and off the bill no questions asked-threw in a round of drinks and dessert on the house. Appreciated but still didn't help much as my friend and I were disgusted and disappointed. Not the best experience for us! A few of our friends that dined there that night at a different dinner party had the opposite opinion, they thought everything was amazing. Just our luck I suppose! Great bar scene and lounge upstairs for drinks and people were even dancing-dj was pretty decent-last weekend the music was much better. Hit or miss maybe- or they are still testing out the waters based on the crowd. Hope you don't have the same experience if giving it a try! read more

Beautiful view and decor! Definitely a special place. Had the lobster bisque to start. It was delicious, big chunks of lobster and the Fava beans were an excellent addition. Shared the duck for two, which was also great! They flambé it table side, which was very cool!! The overall presentation of our meal was spectacular, even down to the small details such as the China and wine glasses. I particularly liked sitting in the booth with velvet curtains while still enjoying the beautiful baltimore view! read more

An evening I'll never forget! We were escorted up to the Bygone by a nice and informative gentleman. Once the elevator doors opened, everyone in our party was in awe of the breathtaking view of the city along with the beautiful decor. When seated, our server, the wonderfully personable Paul, made sure we had nothing but the absolute best dining experience of our lives! His honest recommendations on the drinks and menu items were incredibly helpful. Portion sizes were plentiful! My favorite bite of the night was the Lobster Bisque, which I could have easily ordered 3 servings just for myself and called it a night! Props must be given to Paul, Ian, and the Executive Chef who made his way to our table to greet us! We were treated to barbecue oysters and a delightful dish of king crab topped with caviar, served in an oyster shell! To end the night, we were treated once again to a platter of desserts, to which we ordered Irish Coffee's to accompany. Paul gave our party a tour of the Mezzanine before we made our way to the bar. The bar was an almost overwhelming contrast to the elegant, quiet dining area but was a nice change of pace. By 10pm the bar was full of people blowing off steam, dancing to the remixes of beloved pop songs of our youth. We left with full bellies, aching heels from dancing, and memories we will never forget! The Bygone is worth every penny and I can't wait to go back! read more

Here's the main reason for the 2 stars. We've had wonderful experience at the Charlston w their tasting menu and decided to embark on our Bygone premier w theirs as well. Our dinner time was at 9pm, we were seated, and did not get drink list as initiated by waiter after he gave the schpill about Bygone. As time went by (about 45min into our seating) only were we served our drinks and popover * i make better ones byself*. To find out our waiter was haphazard because he was ending his shift and handed it off to the next person but it was not smooth. 2 other tables seated after us already had their popover and appetizers ..only did we finally get our drinks and offered bread! To make the whole thing worst, we continued to have 2 other diff servers dropping off our 5 course wine pairing meal WITHOUT telling us what they are serving OR what kind of wine it is..remember..non of these were written inthe menu and we expected a somalia to explain the wine that is paired w the course..at the very least..a waiter to tell us what the hell we are drinking? The entire night was a disaster as we continued to ask the waiter Paul what are we drinking.. he didnt pick up the clue next time he drops the glass...TEll us the NAME of the wine! I think ive said enough here to give u an idea how over price this whole place is with underperformed service..and the food..u can get ir anywhere in a mt vernon restaurant.was not outstanding at all. UNIMPRESSED! read more

I was so excited to take an out of town guest to The Bygone for drinks for her 60th birthday this evening. We stayed at The Four Seasons and had great customer service at the reception desk, the pool, the pool grill and the lobby bar. Unfortunately, that changed when we went up to The Bygone for drinks after dinner. The view was amazing, but the customer service was horrible. We kept seeing signs about the dress code - which we honored - but there we patrons in jeans and t-shirts. We went to the hostess desk and asked for a table and were promptly and dismissively told tables were on a first come first served basis, which we totally appreciated. After finally finding a table, we took our seats - but never had a server come to our table to take our order. After a long wait, we finally decided to leave and go to Wit & Wisdom for a night cap. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love my experience at The Bygone, but it was a very disappointing experience. Having said that, we had great customer service at Wit & Wisdom. I would not recommend The Bygone at all!! read more

Hello, I wanted to write about my Friday night at the bygone. It was the most amazing place I have ever been. I have lived in Baltimore for 4 years and never knew it was there. I came in on Friday for my sisters birthday, the view was so beautiful, it was nothing like I have seen before! This was one of the best nights in my life! My waitress was Kara and she was so kind, a genuine person. She got us a table in the corner with the best view for my sisters birthday, we first had the bygone daisy which was so good!!! Beautifully prepared with the prettiest flowers and even though I normally do not drink tequila Kara said it was one of her favorites and it was so good we all got one. Kara then told us about the bottle service program where we could have fun shows and put my sisters name in light with confetti dropping down on us, so we got it! It was so worth it! I have been to clubs in D.C and nothing compared to this and she was not pushy like the other types of girls. She even salsa danced with my sister for her birthday ! We were very surprised because I don't think she was Hispanic and she knew how!!Anothe girl with curly hair came and helped make our drinks and she was lovely too! I wish I knew her name because she gave us a bottle of champagne from a gentleman at the bar. We danced the whole night and my sister was so happy and surprised! If you want an amazing celebration you should visit the bygone! It was reasonably priced and for how much the girls did and how beautiful they are it is very worth it. We bought a tequila for around $250 and stayed the whole night on beautiful furniture with a view of the whole city from the sky. Thank you to the beautiful staff and to Kara who made my sisters birthday perfect!! read more

First and foremost I would like to thank the head of security Eric last name not mentioned for a great experience. He is by far the greatest asset the Four Seasons Bygone restaurant and night club has on the staff.His Professionalism exceeds what was to be expected. I have encountered this young man on several en devours at the Bygone and he has always been more than accommodating each time i have the pleasure of visiting. I think he has shown to be a true asset to the Atlast corporation and should be given more roles in the company. He truly understands costumer service and exults the true meaning of what it means to show the customer a good experience. I look forward to seeing him when I visit the Bygone. I honestly think he is a great young man working his way up and should be rewarded for his efforts. Bygones always gives me the feeling of Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Amsterdam, London, and Tokyo all rolled up in one place. The staff is always stellar but Eric by far is a rising star. Pat him on the back when you meet him. He will greet you with a smile and "how can i help you have a great night" ! read more

Somewhat mixed and disappointing experience. I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday and I called ahead not once but twice to make arrangements for a special desert. The food was good as expected (thought I can't say that it was outstanding). However, after the main course (which was mediocre and of which we ate less than half), the sever forgot about us for nearly an hour. He did not return to ask us if we were enjoying the meal or to bring the desert. After waiting and waiting, I finally stood up from the table to find the server, not something I expect to have to do in a fine dining restaurant. In the 10 seconds that I was gone, the server came to the table and took a desert order from my boyfriend (who didn't know about the desert that I had arranged ahead of time). This was awkward and entirely avoidable if they had actually paid attention to the request that I called with twice. Furthermore, the demeanor of the waitstaff could be a bit more subdued and less intrusive, as I found that they talked rather more than necessary. I think that more listening to customers' requests and less flamboyance would make this a more pleasurable experience. read more

I don't have enough great things to say about this place, if I could give it 10 stars I would! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday with a nice dinner (we're from out of state), and this place surpassed all of my expectations. The ambiance and atmosphere is unlike no other with breath taking views and a romantic 1920's feel. Not only was the food to die for, the service and the employees here are outstanding and should be praised and recognized. Anne our server was awesome, super knowledgeable, and she took very good care of us. She even took us on a tour around the restaurant after dinner. Also, the sommelier Julian was a pleasure speaking to and he helped us choose a bottle of wine. After we went to the bar and had drinks with Lena, who was also super personable and friendly. The employees here go out of their way to make sure you have the best possible experience. My boyfriend and I both agree that we've hands down never had a better dining experience. Even though we're from out of town, we will be making trips back to Baltimore just to go The Bygone. If you're in Baltimore and looking for a place to eat or drink, look no further than here! read more
