   We had a great time. Our table at the window provided a wonderful view of the harbor. Or server, Mark, went above and beyond, making suggestions and sharing his favorites. We combined the two soups- a crab based and tomato based clam chowder- and they offset each other beautifully. The crab cakes were outstanding as well as the special scallops. The piano provided a nice ambiance. We will definitely be back.

   I had to change my arrival time and number of attendees and the resturant was very accommodating.

   Easter Brunch at The Rusty Scupper – A Memorable Experience with Room to Grow We visited The Rusty Scupper in Baltimore for their Easter Brunch and were instantly captivated by the stunning harbor views and festive ambiance. The setting is truly hard to beat, with live jazz playing softly in the background and a warm, celebratory energy that set the perfect tone for the holiday. The food selection was overall impressive, especially for seafood lovers — fresh-shucked oysters, smoked salmon, prime rib, and an assortment of brunch classics were all beautifully presented and delicious. However, we did notice a missed opportunity in terms of inclusivity: the buffet lacked clear vegan and gluten-free options. In today’s dining landscape, it would be great to see more thoughtful choices for guests with dietary restrictions. Service was friendly, though there were noticeable inconsistencies. Some staff members were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, while others seemed unsure about basic details — for instance, one server didn’t know where certain condiments were located, while another found them instantly. A bit more staff training would go a long way in ensuring a smoother and more confident service experience. One of the main logistical challenges was the buffet layout. With only one main buffet area, guests from both the upper and lower dining levels had to queue in the same space, which led to long waits — especially for hot items, which were unfortunately lukewarm by the time we reached our table. A second buffet setup for the lower level would not only help with crowd flow but also ensure that food is enjoyed at the optimal temperature. Despite these hiccups, we appreciated the overall experience and left feeling satisfied. With a few adjustments — including dietary accommodations, improved staff training, and better buffet logistics — The Rusty Scupper could elevate their Easter Brunch from good to outstanding. We’d definitely consider returning, especially i

   Way too expensive for the quality. Food was average. Nothing amazing . Mimosa served in a brandy glass 1/4 full with faded orange juice and maybe champagne. I did not drink it. Location of restaurant is nice being on the water . But everything else needs improved . Greatly diminished from a few years ago. For 4 adults the bill was $416! I will not be returning here. There are several other places to dine for that kind of money where the food and beverages are much better quality and a more sophisticated dining experience. I felt like I was dining at a Country Buffet.

   As always, the Rusty Scupper is a win! Onsite paid parking is a win, the Sunday buffet is always amazing, and the views and service on point.

   Great selection of foods, plenty of servers (though busy) for drinks. Everyone was nicely attired and on their best behavior. The sun even put in an appearance over the harbor as we left. The Easter Brunch was a great success- worth the expense once a year.
