    Fantastic experience. Food is fantastic. Setting is perfect. Vibrant but quiet enough for conversation. Perfectly located across the harbor away from the crowds. Our server was attentive and helpful. Our orders were all over the menu and everyone enjoyed!

    We were in Baltimore before a cruise and a friend recommended Rusty Scupper. We made reservations and said we were celebrating our anniversary. We were seared at a beautiful window table. The crab cakes, scallops with lump crab meat and wedge salad were amazing. Our server Ashley was friendly and attentive. It was a wonderful experience!

    Beautiful view, live piano, and incredible food. Started with the cold seafood sampler, and had shrimp & grits and a scallop special for dinner. Absolutely delicious. Enjoy an espresso martini for dessert!

    My husband and I made a last minute reservation at the Rusty Scupper to celebrate our anniversary. I had gone there many years ago and everything was nice. This time, not so much. The restaurant was half empty at 6:30 pm but only had 1 waitress taking care of our entire section. While she was very nice, she forgot the straws we asked for and didn’t offer us any bread while other tables had it. We got a complimentary order of calamari that was overcooked and the portion size was tiny. The crab cakes I ordered were surprisingly small- about 2 to 3 ounces each for $59, and were covered in some type of butter or garlic sauce that ruined the dish. My husband ordered the crab pasta for $44 that was just ok. We had cocktails that were waaay too strong, and that ruined the flavor profile. The best thing we had during the meal was the creme brûlée, which was delicious. Overall, very disappointing for the price, but the views of the Inner Harbor were beautiful as always.

    An outstanding experience from start to finish. Excellent staff, excellent food, excellent atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant to friends, and I would go back anytime. The staff were on their game, with just the right amount of attention. The food was amazing and plentiful. The establishment is clean, downright spotless. The views are great. The atmosphere was perfect, and we stayed for drinks after our meal. The music was the best I've experienced in years. The volume and style of the music was perfect.

    Went with a group of friends, this was definitely an elevated dining experience in my book. I ordered the salt and pepper crab for my appetizer it was delicious.. whatever batter its fried in was extremely balanced of sweetness and saltiness. For my entree I ordered the Chesapeake Rockfish, it was extremely tasty especially..I got the Maryland option 😋 it was perfect. Our waiter who ended up leaving on emergency towards the end of our stay was very attentive to our needs and extremely kind and helpful. He knew his stuff in regards to the drinks and specials. I hope all is well with him. Definitely recommend this place for a special occasion 👌🏾

I’m thrilled to hear that you and your friends enjoyed an elevated experience, from the salt and pepper crab to the Chesapeake Rockfish. We take great pride in both our food and service, and it’s wonderful to know your server made such a positive impression before needing to step away unexpectedly. I’ll be sure to share your feedback with our culinary and service teams—it means a lot. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another special occasion soon. Warm regards, Julian Demiri General Manager Rusty Scupper Baltimore
