Our table thoroughly enjoyed the calamari, Chilean sea bass, and Atlantic salmon, all of which were expertly seasoned and perfectly prepared. We chose the traditional style entrées, accompanied by homemade mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The desserts were absolutely outstanding—the crème brûlée and buttercream cake were simply irresistible. Having a window seat for our noon lunch provided a beautiful view of the boats and harbor, making my birthday celebration even more special. The waitstaff were attentive, professional, and impeccable throughout our visit. Combined with the pleasant waterfront ambiance, it made for a flawless dining experience. Truly a 200% perfect outing that we will fondly remember.

My main issue was that neither Open Table or Rusty Scupper prominently advertised that Sunday was a buffet brunch only for $67 pp. I don’t eat that much so it was a huge waste of money for me.

Thank you Lisa for taking the time to share your feedback and for joining us for Sunday Brunch. I'm sorry to hear the buffet brunch wasn't the experience you were hoping for. Our Sunday Jazz Brunch is served exclusively as a buffet, and I understand that style of dining isn't the right fit for everyone. I'm so glad to hear our wait staff took great care of you, and I appreciate your kind words about their service. We truly value your feedback and hope you'll consider visiting us again for lunch or dinner so you can enjoy our regular menu. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Another great experience. We were please with Mariah and her attention to detail within our dining experience. My wife kept going back and forth on seafood dining, and it was so funny that she ended up saying "I want to eat some good seafood and be able to oversee the water and some sights" and I had already booked us for the Scupper. Fried Fish dish was a lot, but let me say those scallops and the mashed potatoes - if my Mama was a alive to taste that she would've bought a plate to go! Great place to celebrate our anniversary - and Mariah, thanks again. And it was so crazy we sat in the exact same table as our first visit. The server who assisted Mariah was just as awesome, kudos to her kindness!
Rusty Scupper - BaltimoreResponded 2 days ago
Thank you Eric so much for celebrating your anniversary with us! We're delighted to hear that Mariah provided such attentive service and helped make your evening memorable. It's also wonderful to know her server assistant contributed to your experience with such kindness. Your comments about the fried fish, scallops, and mashed potatoes truly made us smile. Hearing that they earned such high praise means a great deal to our culinary team. And what a fun surprise that you were seated at the very same table as your first visit. Sometimes those little moments make an evening even more special. Thank you again for your kind words. We wish you both many more happy anniversaries and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm regards, Julian Demiri General Manager

Tourist trap. Not worth the cost at all. Also, had a hair on my food. Manager and server were apologetic and gave free dessert, but still…will never return.

I had the crab cakes and a Spanish Sangria. There wasn't room for dessert. Both were delicious. Our server, Travis, was helpful and informative about the menu items.

Was pleasantly surprised at the brunch for the price and the offerings; I would most definitely return. It's a standard brunch with some savory soul food offerings, greens, fried chicken, and mac and cheese. The price includes bottomless mimosas, white sangria, and other beverage offerings. Note there is an automatic 18% gratuity included in the final bill regardless of party size. Staff was pleasant and efficient, and there was live music. It's worth checking out, but I encourage you to make a reservation.
