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.

Absolutely perfect experience. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was fantastic, great view of the harbor, the food was totally on point.. I was in town with my friend for a convention and I ALWAYS go to Rusty Scupper every chance I get 🔥 Im including some pictures that arnt great because we immediately started eating and I forgot to take pics 🤦🏻‍♂️

Rusty Scupper never disappoints.Great venue with a view of the harbor. Delicious food and great service. Scallops Special, Iced Seafood Sampler, and warm butter cake desert. Just FYI, Uber and Lyft drivers can drop off and pick up right at the resteraunt. Uber will set the pickup point at the street up by the gate. You can let the driver know to pickup at the resteraunt. They do not need to pay to open the gate. There is a 15 minute grace period.

Rusty Scupper serves the best brunch in Baltimore! It has a diverse mix of breakfast and seafood cuisine. Every time I go here with family or friends, we yearn to return! The service is very diligent, amiable, and precise!

Great seafood, excellent service, and unbeatable views of the Inner Harbor. The crab cakes are outstanding, the atmosphere is relaxing but upscale, and the overall dining experience is consistently enjoyable. Highly recommend.

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.

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!

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!

This was our first Thanksgiving visit, and it was absolutely fantastic. Parking was very convenient. Paid parking is available on the same level as the restaurant. The water view was beautiful, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff were both professional and friendly. The food exceeded our expectations. The buffet included a hot food section with all the classic Thanksgiving favorites, a meat carving station with prime rib, pork loin, and turkey, and a seafood station featuring smoked salmon, steamed shrimp, and fresh raw oysters shucked right there. And the desserts were out of this world. Every item was prepared by the chef and tasted incredible. The Rusty Scupper is officially our new Thanksgiving tradition. The price is $95 per person (including non-alcoholic drinks) for 90 minutes of seating. It may seem a bit high, but it was absolutely worth it.

Was in Baltimore for a day and wanted to make sure we got crab cakes before leaving. We had been walking around the inner harbor for a while and made our way over. We didn't get full dinner as we had another planned stop before flying home but that didn't impact service. Crab cakes were great. Large lumps of meat and not much filler. I also had the cream of crab soup. It was delicious and had a generous amount of lump crab meat. The Rusty Scupper ale was good too. Dinning area has a great view of the harbor area.

Wonderful experience! We came in on a Sunday night and it could not have been more perfect. We had the Tuna Carpaccio, Crab Cake, Shrimp and Grits, Scallops and Crab Fettuccine. All were great and very flavorful. The shiitake mushrooms and truffle puree surrounding the scallops was divine. The scallops were unfortunately quite over cooked but regardless it was still a highly enjoyable meal. Service was great and our waiter could not have been better with the host staff being incredibly welcoming as well. Ambiance was perfect, not overly crowded and stunning views. Overall I would definitely come back next time I am in Baltimore and would recommend anyone do so!

I was recently vising Baltimore and we decided to venture over to Rusty Scupper for a nice romantic dinner with a view of the water which was breath taking. To start we shared the JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKE $30 grain mustard beurre blanc and the CHEF'S SELECT OYSTERS* MP cocktail sauce, lemon, classic mignonette, and PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS $53 roasted Shiitake mushrooms, sunchoke & truffle puree, asparagus sunchoke crisps, chive oil. For our entree we shared the LUMP CRAB FETTUCCINE $39 fettucine pasta, lump crab meat, shallots, cream sauce. The entire meal was amazing! Rusty Scupper is definitely a restaurant that is a place to come back to.

Came back recently during happy hour just for a drink and a crab cake, and had a great experience. I enjoyed the Rusty Scupper Ale which was refreshing, and an absolutely delicious crab cake with large chunks of crab. We were also served bread which is just as good as I remembered from our prior visit. Our waitress was also super friendly and checked on us frequently. This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Baltimore for a nice dinner, and I look forward to coming back again when I'm in town.

An old Baltimore staple. Go for the view first and the food second. They have a decent happy hour but mainly people pop in here for dinner or their jazz brunch. Service is very nice and to be expected at a white table cloth establishment. This is where you bring your friends from out of town for a classic Baltimore experience but not somewhere you just drop in.

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.

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!

We had a fantastic dinner here! We were looking for something unique to Baltimore and were so glad we ended up here. I requested a table by the window which we were able to get (although I wonder if they gave us one of the worst window tables with no view out of spite lol). The place is all decorated for Christmas which was awesome and pretty. Also the music was great. We had a great waiter (I believe his name was Michael) who gave great suggestions. The bread and spread was out of this world. So delicious and unique. We tried the crab cake, sea bass, scallops, blackened shrimp and ribeye. Everything was delicious. We ordered truffle fries but never got them but we laughed and were okay with it because we had over ordered and didn't get charged. We also loved the "charm city smash" drink they had. Very tasty! We were so full we didn't get dessert but I'm sure it would be good. We would definitely come back!

It's a very nice place in the marina with lovely views! We had shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and octopus and all were delicious. Our server was named Chrissy and she was wonderful. She went over the menu so diligently and she explained everything clearly and she made excellent recommendations. She even told me where to buy her cute pink glitter pen with a diamond on top of it! The crab cakes were Especially Fabulous!

Food was amazing. The service 8/10, and the ambiance 8/10. Love the free parking for downtown. This place is a must see for yourself.

Amazing food, beautiful scenery being on the water, impeccable service. I wouldn't say we are regulars but we come here more than a few times a year. It's a staple place for us when my wife is craving the whole fish with chimichurri. My go to is the pan seared scallops and I am never disappointed. The scallops are always cooked to perfection and the accompaniments are delicious. Asparagus and sunchoke slices with a sunchoke and truffle demiglaze. The cream of crab soup is delightful especially when mixed with the Maryland Crab. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a nice date night, or romantic evening out with a loved one or with family or friends.

Such amazing food and the ambiance was fabulous! I did order the steak which was overcooked, but they quickly switched it out for the sea bass that was fabulous.

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!

Excellent service! Crab cake and crab bisque were among the best I've had. Cool place too, right on the water.

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

My overall experience at Rusty Scupper was positive. I loved the view of the water as I dined. My waitress was amazing! I wish I remembered her name, but she was attentive and very informative. I enjoyed my mahi mahi, but wish the fish itself had a little more flavor. However, the lemon beurre blanc sauce that came on it was delicious (especially with the mashed potatoes) and made up for the missing spices. I also enjoyed my sangria! It was refreshing and aesthetically pleasing.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Amazing crab dip. Lunch was excellent. Service was great with excellent recommendations. Nice location on the Inner Harbor.

My dad came to town for a visit and he wanted seafood, so I knew that the Rusty Scupper would be a good place to take him. We had the calamari as an appetizer, and it came out hot, fresh, and flavorful. I had the chargrilled mahi-mahi with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables and this was a delicious and healthy dinner just like I was looking for. I also had an Old Fashioned cocktail that was delicious as well. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. The view out over the Inner Harbor is a beautiful setting for an enjoyable meal. Great experience all around.

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.

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!

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

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.

Donta's service was excellent. He was really knowledgeable about the menu and provided us some great recommendations. I loved the Spanish octopus and the crab cake starters. Everything was delicious from the cocktails to our entrees- (Cajun Chilean Sea Bass and Pan Seared Scallops). I have no complaints. I'll be back.

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.

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.

I've lived in Bmore my whole like and I'm ashamed to admit this was my first time at Rusty Scupper--but it certainly won't be my last. Our server was wonderful, honestly the best server I've ever had. We had the crab cakes, scallops, and the crab dip. All outstanding. He told as at the beginning to save room for the strawberry shortbread and omg that thing was RIDICULOUS! Top five desserts I've ever had and I've had a lot of desserts. I'm already ready to go back. So if you're looking for a place downtown with an incredible view to boot you have to try this place.

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:)

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!

Amazing food and service. Incredible views of the Baltimore inner harbor. The Rusty Scupper never fails to exceed expectations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
