Rusty Scupper Restaurant & Bar

Wanted a Baltimore seafood experience and we were NOT disappointed. This place hit it out of the park on all levels. Starting with the warm bread, which I don’t often comment on but were hot and interestingly presented with a pour over accompaniment. I definitely wasn’t expecting much from a salad but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious as the dressing wasn’t just poured on, it was mixed throughout and then plated. The soup hit the spot, very crabby and creamy. The crab cakes were off the charts yummy. They were MUCH better than the picture could ever tell the story. We skipped dessert cuz there was noooo room in da belly. LOL. As a special note, Amanda, our server, was awesome, both friendly and knowledgeable in her recommendations to us. She definitely rounded out our experience. The view of the harbour is amazing looking back over the city.

This is a good spot for family events or dinners. The view of the harbor is awesome! It’s a huge restaurant, so if it’s busy, service can be spotty. The food is consistently good and portions are generous, but it’s a bit pricey for some menu items. It’s also rich food. Overall, it’s worth a try to see if you like it! The butter cake dessert is to die for!

Went here for my graduation celebration and really enjoyed it. The location is beautiful with amazing views, the food was really good, and the service was great. We had a reservation and were seated right away with no wait, which made the night even better. Overall, I really liked this place and would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.

The food is absolutely amazing! The views are not far behind. The atmosphere, while a little dated, is consistent with its nautical theme and seafood fine dining. The service is always impeccable and stellar. You feel welcome and enjoy being in the environment. The specials are worth the extra $$. But the whole fried fish is a MUST if you have the appetite. It’s not on the menu so asking for it will indicate you’ve been there before and feel somewhat exclusive.

I walked away incredibly satisfied with my visit to Rusty Scupper. I'd be remiss not to start by offering praise to our waitress Keirsten. Her exuberance, knowledge of the dishes, honesty, and overall charm set the right tone immediately! My daughter and I trained up from DC for day trip. We struggled to decide on Rusty Scupper or another high profile competitor. We believe we made the right choice. The scallops were cooked to perfection, the jumbo lump crab cakes the best I've ever had, the tuna carpaccio amazing, and the collard greens, game changing! We walked away more than satisfied! It was a great memory coupled with my first trip to Charm City!

Sunday Brunch is worth the price! Food delicious and a lot to choose from. Drinks, music. Just awesome! If visiting, this is the place to go before heading out on Sunday. Automatically 18% gratuity taken out. Service wasn't bad at all. Everyone was welcoming and kind.

Wonderful location on the water front, lovely views and atmosphere. Great service but for the cost the food was sorely lacking. Had fried seafood plate and was barely eatable, fish fried so hard that it was not recognizable, shrimp was good, but could not recognize what else was on the plate. All show.

Outstanding place. Can't beat the views of the Harbour. Food was excellent. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Waitress was great and understanding of our requests. Had a wonderful experience and when in Baltimore again, we will return...

Birthday celebration with the Family....And, this restaurant couldn't have been more fitting!! From the views, ambiance and fantastic menu....I have no complaints! Rusty Scupper has been around since the ages of time at the Baltimore Harbor. I remember coming here in the 90's ( yes, dating myself...lol) and was surprised that they are still around and one on the original "OG's'" here at the Baltimore Harbor! We were a Family of Ten and were accommodated to the upmost. Never had to wait for a server and the customer service was on point. It could not have been better!! We were sat at a window table with a great view of the harbor. Our server was prompt and attentive (Bellinis galore!). We were here for the brunch layout. The food was fantastic!! Ham, prime rib and lamb carving station, seafood. custom omelets, fantastic buffet spread of delicious food...of all the breakfast classics and comfort food eats. And of course.....The Seafood!! Oysters, shrimp, crab & lobster.....you name it....they served it. In all, our food was top notch. Our severs were very attentive.... helpful and pleasant but not overbearing. Our water glasses and drinks were never emptied. Between the quality of the food and customer service, it could not have been a better experience! Thank you Rusty Scupper! I would recommend for the Sunday Brunch, any casual dining while in the area or special occasion! The vibe is great and the food is delicious. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and left completely with Buddha rubbing--full bellies and satisfied. Will be back!! Thank you Rusty Scupper for the outstanding food and service! Will be back for sure.

The food was fantastic, ambience absolutely stunning, and our waitress Ashley totally hit it out of the park not only with her service, but also with her sense of humor And not only is she a great waitress, but she was also a fantastic photographer taking pictures for us to remember our wonderful experience here.

By far the BEST BRUNCH location in Baltimore! It is so yummy and delicious! I don't even know where to start. When you get there there's private parking that you unfortunately have to pay for but your car is safe and right at the restaurant so I get it. When you arrive you're greeted by multiple staff and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RESERVATION! I showed up once and forgot and they were already overbooked but they booked us for the following Sunday. The food selections change with different themes sometimes so it's not just the exact same menu every time. We went during Mardi and the food was so good. The restaurant is inspired by a ship of course so the interior is so beautiful and reminds you of a very regal cruise ship. From start to finish it's just exceptional all around. One of my favorite places for brunch! I highly highly recommend coming here!

Pretty tasty but pretty pricey for the portions. Beautiful view of the inner harbor. Excellent service and elegant interior.

Our waiter David did an amazing job and was superbly attentive to our needs as he guided us through the menu with spot on advice. It had been over 10 years since we have been to Rusty Scupper and after this meal we regret our absence and will be back! Outstanding!

Rusty Scupper offers a true fine dining experience with spectacular service--our servers waited on us hand and foot. The two-level setup and marina views made for a beautiful setting. We started with shrimp cocktail and calamari--both were fresh and flavorful. I had the rockfish with mashed potatoes and veggies, and it was cooked perfectly. Our table tried several entrées, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend for great food, great views, and top-notch service!

This restaurant is so beautiful and the view of the water is stunning! I came here with my roommate for a dinner and had such a great time.Our server was so so nice too! The calamari was so fresh and the salmon was perfection. Their cheesecake is some of the best that I've had and I think that means a lot coming from me and my roommate who are both lactose intolerant LOL.

I and a group of friends went for Sunday brunch. They had a wide selection/ variety of choices. The service was a bit off. Our waitress did forget our silverware a few times and who got what drink, but overall it was a very nice brunch with amazing views. This place is a Baltimore staple restaurant.

As many years as I've lived in the area and driven past this place, I was finally able to step inside for a friend's birthday dinner. Not sure why they charge for parking but walking inside, the waterfall wall was gorgeous and we were greeted by a host at the top of the steps. I thought the overall ambience was upscale but a bit outdated. The views of the boats and harbor make up for that however. The service was great from start to finish and everything we ordered came out pretty fast. We all agreed however though that our food was a bit under seasoned. Everything looked really good but lacked a bit of flavor. Drinks were beautiful and very delish. Had a cheesecake for dessert. All in all I wasn't disappointed and my curiosity has been cured.

I visited on the last weekend of August and I must say I am now a fan! I was really excited to try this place from all of the accounts that people were telling me. This place was getting rave reviews by word-of-mouth. So that made me even eager to try. It was my mother's birthday and she had also heard great reviews so this was her restaurant of choice. She decided to do a Sunday, which on this day they normally have brunch and a live band. The live band really set the mood and the tone for a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Now, the food selection! They had a range of choices. I also discovered looking at their menu online that each month they have a theme of food that they cook. August was a Mediterranean theme. So they had an area which you could make your own lamb, Gyro and chicken kebabs. They also have a really good fresh Greek salad area. My favorite was the prime rib! It was seasoned to perfection. Coming in a strong second was the lamb meatballs. They tasted really good. I also was impressed to see a small raw bar area that had shrimp and fresh oysters. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience there and would definitely return. The service was also pretty good. We had a large party and it was also kinda loud between the music and everyone in the vicinity. I could definitely see myself going on a different day where it was less crowded for more intimate setting the food on the dinner. Menu looks amazing too.

Before I forget, brunch is $62 per person for an all-you-care-to-eat buffet, and an 18% tip is automatically added in to the final bill. Fantastic food, and a lovely jazz trio. We had such a a good time!

Rusty Scupper is one of my favorite places to brunch. They have a wide selection of food options, omelets made to order, carved meats, and an array of desserts! Our server was amazing and was very accommodating. There's a few musicians playing live music and the view of the water just tops it off! I will say they have better food selections on some Sunday's than others but it's still one of my go to's:)

A company dinner well spent at rusty scupper. I had the opportunity to have dinner with coworkers to unwind and receive insight about the future of our company at the inner harbor. Upon walking in the restaurant is beautiful with great scenery of the harbor and the skylines. Our waiter mark was knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. I started off with an old fashioned then switched to a manhattan. The old fashioned wasn't crafted well in my opinion but the manhattan definitely got It right. Afterwards we ordered appetizers: oysters crab dip and calamari. The oysters were delicious, briny and sweet. The calamari was fried to perfection and the crab dip is more on the cheese side and not crab. I ordered my entree which was the whole crispy fish. This was pretty good but not the best fried fish I've had. The Thai chilli sauce added a nice flavor and the cornmeal provided an excellent crunch. The flesh of the meat itself lacked flavor. Lastly we ended with dessert as I chose the warm bread pudding, I wasn't a fan the bread pudding was very dense and the chocolate was a bit rich. Overall I enjoyed our company dinner and will come back again for hh

Great view with great vibes on the harbor! We went to Rusty Scupper for Valetines Day. For romance and ambiance, this place was everything! There's a parking garage with $10 validation, which certainly is a perk. We had reservations but were seated early directly on the harbor with views of the water and skyline. My complaints were around service and the food. My favorite bite was the half and half crab soup. Everything else was just okay. The service was scattered; but on a busy night like V-day, maybe that was the exception and not the norm. Overall, I'll be back to try some other things. The crab cakes and sea bass were both good.

Came in for dinner last night with a party of Six. The place has a cool Nautical vibe to it. Our server was so nice and made some recommendations. The appetizers and entrees came out in a timely fashion and the food was delicious! i'd highly recommend this place.

Had a great experience. Beautiful view, server was attentive, food delicious and atmosphere relaxing. Ordered crab dip, pb&j and calamari for appetizers. I would highly recommend the crab dip. Not a huge fan of crab dips but this one was absolutely delicious and not a fishy taste at all. Great to share with the table. The pb&j app wasn't really shareable, very unique. Entrees ordered shrimp and grits, delicious. Table also ordered chicken, and sea bass. Everything was cooked great and tasted delicious. Dessert was butter cake. Served with white cream and strawberries. Great to share!

My husband and I recently celebrated out four wedding anniversary with a little brunch date to the Rusty Scupper. Individually, we both visited the restaurant many years ago, so it was nice to give them another chance together. I must say, we really enjoyed ourselves and planned to return in the near future. One Sundays, the restaurant offers a brunch buffet with a few unlimited drink options. The theme this month for the brunch was Tex Mex, which was a pleasant surprise for me, as that is one of my favorite cuisines. The menu was very good and very filling. I always joke with my husband that biffets are really for me, because I can never seem to eat very much. But, I think after enjoying two plates of food and three sangrias, I got my money's worth! One of the biggest draws of the restaurant is the views! The harbor always gets a bad wrap, but the panoramic views offered at the the Rusty Scupper make you see the harbor in a much different light! I can just imagine how beautiful it is at night!

What a beautiful restaurant with panoramic harbor view, rusty interior decor and comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed everything we ordered from crab appetizer, oysters, tuna appetizer, to steak dinner, crab cakes, scallop with crab meat and pasta. Seafood were fresh. Seasonings were on point. And top notch service. We enjoyed our dining experience very much and will certainly return. Highly recommended by @WineDinenVacay As for parking, they have a paid garage for this restaurant as you are getting to the restaurant.

Pretty good crab cake but overpriced and touristy. Service was fine and view was beautiful. Would not return over other seafood places on the harbor.

Rusty Scupper's brunch buffet is a food lover's paradise, and this week's spread was nothing short of spectacular! My plate was a delicious journey that started with a perfectly made crab, shrimp, and spinach egg white omelette--a light yet satisfying choice that hit all the right notes. From there, I indulged in waffles and sausage, which were classic and comforting. But what stole the show were the oxtails and plantains--a flavorful duo that added a bold, savory, and slightly sweet twist to the meal. To drink, the Rum Apple Cider was a seasonal delight, warming and perfectly spiced--a great match for the rich variety on my plate. Rusty Scupper continues to impress with its mix of hearty classics and exciting new additions. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. 10/10--I'll be back for more!

I've been here a few times, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, and the service is excellent. The fettuccine could have used a bit more salt, which is to be expected, I also added a touch of hot sauce. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and it had a generous portion of lump crab. I highly recommend a table by the water, especially at sunset--it adds a beautiful view to your dining experience. One thing to note: if you park in the lot, there is a parking fee.

Rusty Scupper's location on Baltimore Harbor is very nice. The water view and ambience is impressive. Unfortunately, the Sunday brunch didn't live up to the price tag for me. While there's a large selection and monthly themes, the overall quality was mediocre. The carving station lacked seasoning many dishes were just average. The mimosas and cocktails were not as flavorful as expected. At this price point, I anticipated fresher flavors and a more memorable dining experience. The service was good, attentive and friendly. You'll leave impressed by the view, but not necessarily by the food.

Amazing Views and Mouthwatering Crab plates. We came to Rusty Scupper for our one year wedding anniversary on our trip from Florida and after a long day we finally were seated and began our feast. The restaurant is beautiful with amazing views of the harbor. No matter where you sit you can view the harbor. One downfall is that when you arrive for your reservation (you should make reservations on open table), they cram you by the door without seating, and won't let you up until the notice is received by the hostess through her headset she/he then lets you walk up where they seat you. This waiting area is tight and awkward. The waiters are very nice and knowledgeable and the place is not cheap. The restaurant was very crowded, there is a bar that was open with about 10 seats. If you show up last minute consider sitting there.

On a recent trip to the Baltimore area, we had dinner at the Rusty Scupper. We made it in time for Happy Hour, so we took a seat in the bar before our reservation. I ordered the 1783 Old Fashioned and an order of Tempura Cauliflower. It was the perfect start. After we were sat at our table, I ordered the beet salad and the shrimp and grits. I enjoyed the roasted beets and squash, served with some goat cheese and pecan! I realized after dinner that the shrimp were not blackened, but they were fine. And the grits were smooth. The restaurant is pretty big and could accommodate large groups. There's the main dining room with a view out to the water and an outer patio. There is also additional seating upstairs. Our server and bartender were patient and attentive.

We visit this place on Mother's Day & or Easter Sunday. The place has a buffet with breakfast and brunch items. omelette station, waffle station, raw bar with shrimp & oysters. A meat carving station with beef, ham, and lamb. They have 4-5 desserts in a separate area. All non-alcoholic and a limited set of alcoholic including mimosas, Bellinis, and sangrias. We continue to go every year but I believe $80 per person plus tip is steep. I'm a bigger guy but can't possibly consume enough to cover $80. I'm betting 99% of people don't get close. The employees are always very nice and the service is always 1st class.

On a visit to Baltimore to see my cousin, we decided to eat here. My cousin had not been to the restaurant in several years and it was my first time. The crab dip was very filling and flavorful! I really enjoyed the calamari. It was flash fried so you could still taste the great flavor of the fish. I also had the lump crab fettuccine. It was full of crab and had some great tasting and complex flavors. Our server, Myra, was so sweet and made great suggestions and had great service overall. We cannot wait to return for the live Jazz band!

Gorgeous view of the bay, even better crab cakes, and a good happy hour! Seriously, crab bakes were lump crab with only a light breading and a perfect mustard sauce that slightly cut the fat of the butter without being so sitting that you couldn't taste the crab. If I were staying longer, I would go back for seconds!

Rusty Scupper is a long time favorite!! The food is consistently amazing! The ambiance on the Inner Harbor, day or night makes for the perfect dining scape. What makes this latest visit absolutely outstanding was our server, Ashley. Her attention to detail, friendliness and overall care of us as guests made for a great reunion with Rusty Scupper.

Online reservation was quick and easy. We had a reservation for 5:00pm, but ran a little late . We arrived at 5:15om and were seated immediately. At the time of arrival, there weren't too many people dining. It was the day after Christmas for a birthday dinner. I ordered the crab over steak special and it was good. It came with mashed potatoes and string beans. Wait time was minimal. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. I received a complimentary dessert. The view was amazing. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely return since we don't have this restaurant in the Bay Area anymore.

I came here for the happy hour, which is allowed only on the bar and the hightops on a first come first serve basis. I got in right before 6pm and got the last spot. They were so kind and rearranged things to make it more comfortable for me. The service continued to be great when I wanted to try the acclaimed crab cake from the regular menu and the bartender advised that I get the crab cake sandwich from the HH menu since it's the same size. Crab cake was good and the mustard-like sauce was tasty indeed. The outside was a little too crispy and dried out some pieces but overall solid crab cake. The brioche bun was nicely toasted and buttery, and came with tomato and lettuce too. I also got the crab hush puppies off the HH menu. It was slightly dried out but still tasty although I don't know that I'd order it again. I had a glass of Moscato which wasn't syrup but certainly sweet. I'd come back again - weekday dinners had a nice vibe, not too crowded or loud with a great view of the harbor.

First brunch buffet experience but note that I did visit this place for dinner and didn't write a review until now. Anyway, here it goes! The staff here were super friendly, shoutout out to Alex for taking care of our table. Ambiance: I love that this place overlooks the beautiful harbor and on a perfect day, it's the most peaceful thing to look at whether from your table or the benches outside. Food and drinks: we were there on Mother's Day for their brunch buffet which was $79 per person with unlimited mimosas, peach bellini, juices, sweet tea, coffee, or tea. I ordered the peach bellini and it was absolutely refreshing. Some of my family ordered the mimosas and they enjoy it. Other family members ordered the sweet tea and juices and they enjoyed their beverages. Buffet selection: my favs from the buffet: Spiced roasted salmon with Lobster Creme & Aleppo Chili P.E.I. Mussels alla Puttanesca Cheesy grits with scallops Prime ribs Shucked local oysters Favorite dessert: crème brûlée Least favorite: fried Brussels sprouts- they were way too oily. Overall, I enjoyed the time with my family and buffet options but I was not too fond of some of the selections because they were either too oily or not flavorful.

The food was great. The filet mignon is so tender and it's very filling. The waitress was nice and the food took a little bit, but it was worth waiting for. There was also nice music playing in the background. The calamari is also phenomenal. There was also a beautiful view of the lake, but the ice cream was not good at all.

We had a pleasant drink here while waiting for our reservation at a nearby Syrian restaurant. The place was mostly empty so early in the dinner hour so the maitre d' was willing to give us a nice table by the window with our assurance that we would be gone in less than an hour. Lovely view across the inner harbor. Drinks were fine, and when our server learned that we were celebrating our 40th anniversary he offered to comp us glasses of champagne. But with dinner still to come we exercised self-discipline and said no

WONDERFUL restaurant to celebrate our 46th ANNIVERSARY! Never been, BUT definitely a favorite already! Our Server, Jaime P. Was the EPITOME of professionalism! Guiding us thru the amazing menu from appetizers to entrees to YUMMY chocolate bread pudding. OUTSTANDING! JAIME was the star of our celebration! So engaging, great recommendations (mashed potatoes!), friendly, efficient, attentive, impeccable customer service! We'll definitely be back and will request to sit in Jaime's section! Thank you for a wonderful celebration!

On travel with a colleague and this joint was on his list! Started out with the calamari... flash fried crispy coating over a decent portion of squid..tubes and tentacles. Served with a marinara and tartar...both good options. I opted for the private labeled amber...good local brew! I couldn't avoid the lump crab cakes...I had a hard time finding any filler! Served with seasoned beans and creamy mashed potatoes...huge portion! I was stuffed already, but the waiter mentioned butter cake, and I was sold... wonderful dense cake with strawberries and topped with ice cream. Wonderful! Ambiance is swashbuckling seaside, service was friendly and helpful, and prices are in line with area.

This was my 1st time dining at the Rusty Scupper restaurant and when I tell you the experience was up to par it was above and beyond my expectations! The bartender John made the experience even more pleasurable suggesting the good eats like the grilled octopus that melted in my mouth to the tropical tasty Scupper sunset cocktails. The food and service were excellent with great harbor views! As someone who travels often and considers themselves a bit of a foodie, definitely next time you're in the Baltimore Harbor area check out the Rusty Scupper for a bite you won't regret it!

Great food, fast and impeccable service! Kevin was a very knowledgeable and attentive waiter.

We booked a private party at the Rusty Scupper and could not have had a better experience. The catering manager was easy to work with and very communicative throughout the process. Our private wait and bar staff were friendly and made our group feel very welcome. Food was well-prepared and, quite frankly, delicious. I loved that we had access to the outside patio for drinks, photos and gazing at the bay. Thanks Rusty Scupper for an unforgettable evening!

Looks just like is should inside!! We just went in for a drink and an appetizer. We landed there during happy hour so the $7 old fashioneds were a nice treat. We also ordered the crab dip with crostinis - great and abundant appetizer to share for the three of us!

Found a hair in my $53 Chilean sea bass. When told to the waiter about it 15 min after delivered when he came by after first quick check in, he apologized and offered a replacement. Since my dining companions were well into their meal and given the time to replace I declined. He delivered a dessert we did not request as a "make good." Given we ordered 3 predinner cocktails, a $61bottle of wine , a pricey crabcake to share, 3 salads and 2 other $53 Chilean seabass dinners, this seems like a pretty weak response. Nice views but the meal was definitely not worth the huge bill and weak service. Would not recommend or return. Tourist trap.

We finished family and revisited this resturant that I was in in 2003. It is just as awesome as it was. We had the Baltimore fish fry. I was delicious . We had a good dinner salad also. The view of the water and the dining experience was awesome . There were many windows to see the view , The servers were nice, we had a reservation and they were getting busier as we left. We walked outside and it was amazing

Buffet style with good food. - dessert section - waffle station - carved meat station - breakfast and lunch type options Don't forget the brunch is bottomless: mimosas, Bellini or champagne Live music The crowd was friendly! A lot of people directly from church. After enjoying our food we walked around the water.

Beautiful dining area by the Harbor , the food also is excellent & the servers are very professional & nice , my Fillet & shrimp was amazing

EXCEPTIONAL experience! 1st stop for my sisters birthday weekend and our server (Dan!) who you would have never known was just on his 4th day of training (by Kayleen!) made our day :) his attentiveness and recommendations were 100% on point. A must if you're in (or even anywhere around) the harbor!

A group up of us had reservations at 1pm for the afternoon brunch. We were seated right away and they have an amazing view of Baltimore harbor !!! A parking garage sits next to their restaurant and they offer discount parking ($10). They have several stations: Cocktail Shrimp & Raw shucked Oysters. Omelette station Dessert section Main area buffet that has fresh fruit, salad, biscuits, smoked salmon, applewood bacon to name a few. A jazz band plays during each brunch time (10:30am - 12:00 or 1pm-2:30pm). It's a delightful elegant brunch with beautiful views and includes bottomless mimosas, peach Bellini, and other non alcohol beverages. A great place for a Sunday brunch. Make reservations, they are quite busy!!

This was a really nice spot. Popped in on a Friday about 2:30pm and they weren't crowded at all...which was the point! We were greeted right away, seated right away, server was present but not overbearing, and the food was delicious. I had the lobster fettuccine and it was perfection. Mmmm! Calamari was good...not spectacular. Food came out piping hot so that's always a plus! Vibe was great. Views were good but I will say that the window table views were interrupted by the big wooden beams breaking up the view so that was annoying. I would come back...

Great seafood restaurant with views of the inner harbor. Service was great. We had appetizers from the lunch menu. I highly recommend the warm Chesapeake Crab Dip. It was incredible.

This is a lovely restaurant overlooking the Inner Harbor and downtown. It seems a little more upscale inside, yet the staff are relaxed and welcoming. We started with oysters for our group, sweet and mild Blue Points and Beaver Tails? Both were delicious Several people ordered the swordfish, but our server recommended the whole fried fish, so I had to try it. It is important to listen to your server because they know vest. It was moist and spicy. Not a date meal unless you are comfortable picking bones out of your mouth. I was with friends, so no bother. Great meal with a view.

When in Baltimore, I want crab cakes. This was on several lists for best in Baltimore. I thought they were good but the grain mustard beurre blanc was slightly sweet and I didn't care for that much. Mashed potatoes were very good and I substituted fries for the green beans. Yes, I had two potato dishes and my wife made fun of me for it. I love fries with old bay and these were very good. I've only been to two places in Baltimore for crab cakes but I felt the ones at Chop Tank were fantastic and liked them a lot better than these. My wife had the chargrilled rock fish, Maryland style. It was good and we definitely enjoyed rock fish, which we had never had before. Service was excellent and the overall meal was a very good experience.
