   I was really looking forward to an incredible experience, but it was lacking in almost all areas. I am a foodie and have eaten at plenty of high-end brunch buffets. Upon arrival, I informed the hostess that a colleague had suggested the Bygone and he had said to be sure and get a table with a good view. The hostess sat us at a tiny two-chair table with a column jutting out beside it. There were plenty of other tables with far better views available. Service: On several occasions, my guest ran out of water and tea. It took flagging down the hostess to get beverage refills. When we finished our first plates and went back to the food and came back, the dirty dishes were still on the table. Wait staff should monitor the tables and be able to keep drinks full and empty plates removed without delay or without having to be asked to do so. Food/Drink: I ordered a bloody mary and was very disappointed in how small and basic the drink was-especially for $16. The drink should have been much larger and been made with a homemade mix or at least a decent commercial mix with some decent garnishes (okra, bacon, olives, etc.). It basically tasted like tomato juice and horseradish. While the food available was very tasty, for $70 per person the selection should have been better. Desert was non-existent. Basically, all that was available looked like it came from Sam’s or Costco-cookies and industrial items not worth eating. To be fair, what was done right? The prime rib and chicken were both very tasty. The large shrimp were good, and the fried capers were a nice touch. If this current offering had decent service, I would expect to pay maybe $6 for the bloody mary and $30 for the buffet. A lot of improvements need to be made to charge the prices they currently do.

   I was looking forward to going to this restaurant, but after making reservations 3 weeks in advance, I still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. The staff seemed stress, and the noise level was too loud to be enjoyable. The food was good though.

   Ambiance, food, staff all exceptional! There was a dj who was a vibe. Not my type of music but other patrons were enjoying the music. I would say try everything. We had crab dip, shrimp cevichie, mac&cheese, potato pomme, scallops,mushrooms, short ribs, lamb, filet mignon, steak, chocolate cake, apple cake. It was all delicious!! Our waitress was the best excellent. I can't remember her name tall blonde with volumious eyelashes..she was on it ! Great experience will go back

   Food was very good, highlights were the cocktails. Service could improve. It certainly wasn’t bad, but felt rushed and impersonal at times and we then found ourselves waiting for the check. Ambiance is excellent and certainly a place for a special occasion/fancy night out. Take some time to enjoy a cocktail on the balcony and some wonderful views.

    Gorgeous views overlooking downtown Baltimore. The staff were very welcoming. It was a quiet night in the restaurant which made the atmosphere more enjoyable. I had been given mixed reviews about the food. But our server suggested a few very food options and they were amazing! I had the crap dip, the filet, the mushrooms and the apple cake for dessert. And I was pleased as punch! I will definitely return very soon.

    Definitely one of the best views in Baltimore. Walking in though a designated hotel elevator marked by a large clock gives it almost a prohibition/ speakeasy feel and when the elevator doors open it does not disappoint! Decorated beautifully with great drinks, the only downside is the unavoidably large price tag making this more of a special occasion restaurant than a usual spot. With tip we spent almost 300$ on brunch for two people (75$ each for buffet brunch and around 20$ per drink-2 each)

    The food was really tasty. Service was excellent at first. We got there at 6:15 when there wasn’t too many people. It seems that when more people arrived the service was less frequent. The ambiance was amazing. The view is a must see. The dessert menu is not impressive and could be improved. The pricing is very steep but if you don’t mind a hefty bill and experience is worth the cost to you, this is your place. I would definitely visit this place again.

    I would suggest to provide all servers with a table crumber. The difference between an average service and a great one is in the details.

    The atmosphere is just wonderful. The low lighting, view of the Inner Harbor and the glass-walled wine cellar and finally the outdoor balcony with fireplace rocked! Appetizers were great - tuna tartare and fois gras were other-worldly. the 36 hour short ribs and prime rib were both surprisingly dry and oversalted. Overall it was a wonderful experience if a bit pricey.

    If you want to see Baltimore from the highest and best view, with a private elevator up to the 29th floor, where yoire greeted with a speakeasy / Art Deco 1920s themed venue compensate with dedicated staff for wine, napkin folding, food delivery, drink delivery, and numerous hosts and other ready at your beck and call - not to mentioned excellent food, fire pits and perfect balcony and window seating - this is the place to go. Highly recommend.
