   Bygone was excellent. I appreciate that the menu was not overwhelming. I had the sole, which was delicious. My date had the salmon which, based on our assessment, was good but not great. We agreed that the sole was the winner. Loved, loved, the raw oysters with the foam. Yeah, foam.

   I expected a bit more given the pricing and location. The food was good, but the space felt cramped and overwhelming. There was a lot going on in a relatively small area, which made the atmosphere overstimulating. The restaurant doesn’t seem well-suited to hosting brunch. As the lines formed, they spilled into the walkways and even reached our table. Despite sitting indoors, it was uncomfortably hot. Would I go again for brunch, probably not. Our server Kj made the experience better

   First time eating here and came on Mother’s Day for brunch with my family. Decor was beautiful and the view is nice as well. It would’ve been even better at night! They gave each Mother a rose as a thank you. Pros: Food was delicious and had a wide variety for every diet with or without restrictions as everything is labeled neatly. Food was refilled relatively quickly when it ran low. I’m not a waffle person, but I liked that these were very fluffy and soft with no crispy edges. The made to order omelette was my favorite part. Alcoholic beverages were tasty, smooth, and strong. I liked that they weren’t shy with their pour. Cons: The apple sausage was cold due to patrons not closing the lids after getting their portion. People would put the tongs’ handle (with the part touching your hand) in the food, which is very unsanitary. While it’s not the restaurant’s fault people don’t use common sense, however I would recommend having a sign and/or staff member there to remind guests of buffet etiquette. Also I saw one staff member constantly on his phone texting in between serving guests. I understand emergencies, but it’s unsanitary when you don’t apply hand sanitizer right afterwards and before serving food again. Another staff member struggled to get syrup for a guest and as he was using the ladle, the syrup dripped from his fingers back into the hot syrup everyone else had to use too! I just had to pray over my food and leave the rest up to God. I will give it another shot someday and return for dinner, but probably won’t be back for the buffet anytime in the near future.

   First off, the view and the ambiance is amazing!! Secondly, there are lots of options to choose from. They don’t have a big cocktail menu, BUT you can ask them to make cocktails you are used to having. For Brunch they do add a 20% per person gratuity to all bills…yes PER PERSON, not per table/group. Other than that part, it was an ok Brunch vibe.

   Arrived early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar which was a perfect setting for the start of a very nice evening. The bar menu is one of the most extensive we've seen with hard to find whiskies on the list. We were seated facing the inner harbor and enjoyed the setting sun as the shades came up while we dined on outstanding crab cakes. A very memorable evening.

    Incredible experience at the Bygone. It was our third time going and was celebrating an anniversary. Food and service was great. The team even gave us a handwritten card and complementary bubbly to celebrate. View is second to none, great for photos. Any time we’re back in Baltimore it’s a must!
