Rusty Scupper Restaurant & Bar 402 Key Highway, Baltimore, MD 21230

"We’re from NY and decided to do a weekend trip to MD. We couldn’t believe how delicious the food was!!!! This was the best crab cake I ever had! I also ordered the Whole Crispy fish and it was big! It was crispy but tender, juicy and seasoned nice. We also ordered the ribeye with a crab cake on top.Amazing! Our server Michael was beyond attentive and helpful. The view and ambience was beautiful, intimate, and romantic if your with your partner. I give this place 10/10. Make sure you ask for Michael if you go."

"Stopped here for lunch on our way to NJ. Convenient to the highway, very convenient and discounted parking. Fresh seafood. Coleslaw is a no go!! Everything else was delicious. Staff was nice. Local craft beer selection has room for improvement."

"Went here with another couple for dinner. It has parking, but you have to pay and go through a gate. Our Uber driver was unaware that you can drive in and drop off without being charged so he stopped at the gate and we had to walk from the street. Not a problem, just something to be aware of. The restaurant is nice inside with gorgeous views of the harbor at night with the lights reflecting off the water. Lots of window tables and because of the very large windows all tables have good views. The food was very good, some unique dishes like the grilled Spanish octopus. Excellent flavor, has hummus and small sprinkles of chorizo sausage and lemon aioli. Seemed a bit odd combination at first, but was very good…would recommend it! We all ordered seafood, and all were very good flavor again, with different ways you can order them such as Asian or Maryland style. The fish portions were very large, almost too much for a normal meal. Had we ordered more than the 1 shared appetizer it would have been too much food. Also one of us ordered scallops, this was excellent and a normal sized portion, but comes with nothing else, so ordered a side of grilled asparagus and this made a perfect sized meal, although the asparagus was a bit tough and chewy. A couple items distracted from the experience. The first being there are heater vents at arm level around the entire outside of the restaurant by each window table that were pouring out hot air the whole time. For the two of us seated near the windows, it literally baked us on one side…no way to stop the heat, very uncomfortable. Had to swap seats during the meal because we were so hot. Might be different in the summer, but really uncomfortable with the heat full on in the winter. The other issue was our waiter, who just went way over the top attempting to portray himself as a smarmy waiter at a high end restaurant. Things like “so…have any of us dined at this establishment before?” and “would we like to consider something to sip on while we contemplate our dinner choices.” Sorry…not impressed, especially since he didn’t really do a great job, took drink orders for the two of us who knew what we wanted, but never came back to take the drink orders for the other two. Even when bringing the drinks, he turned and walked off, and we had to call him back for the other drink orders. Also had to flag him down a couple times during the meal as he did not check to see how things were after bringing our food…did not enjoy having him wait on us at all. A really good waiter is aware of what is going on at your table and shows up at the right times when needed. So with the inability to get away from the heater when sitting by the window and the smarmy waiter, can’t give this place a great rating. Beautiful views and good food, but not enough to rate this restaurant any higher. Would I go back…probably not, will try one of the many other places around the harbor next time. Would I recommend…maybe, just be aware of the window table heat issue and smarmy waiter."

"This place is a fancy restaurant and is suitable for family dinner or party. The wine and a wide variety of it and children-friendly drinks as well I love it. The food was amazing can't complain about it. I recommend this if you have a wife or girlfriend or even just by yourself to have dinner. It is great and has a wonderful view to look at."

"The food, drinks and view were excellent. It was for a birthday dinner and we got the crab dip, whole crispy fish and crab cakes. Everything was fresh and nicely seasoned. Good balance of breading in the lump crab cakes and the mashed potatoes were delicious. Not to mention, the tomato aioli spread for the warm crusty bread was so tasty. It was a great night and experience. Must go back and the next time I’ll get the warm butter cake!!"
