    This place was breathtaking from the entrance of the four seasons hotel, the elevator that takes you up to the restaurant when the doors open and the view of the inner harbor was beautiful. We went at night so you are overlooking the city. 2e chose this restaurant for my cousin's 50th birthday. Our table was by the window so we had an awesome view, and the seating was very comfortable. They have a terrace where you can go outside and take pictures and they have heat lamps for the cold weather. Overall wonder restaurant.

    We had two male bartenders take care of us… we chatted about the zinc counters, the things that set old fashioneds apart and about the outside areas that were too chilly to enjoy! An inspiring place to go on a date night- all the people there are big thinkers! A magical night with our kids!

    We came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and it didn’t disappoint. The food matched the prices. There’s some places that are super expensive but portions are small. Theirs is decent. Loved their 3 cheese Mac and cheese. So good and their lamp chops

    What can I say, we had an amazing experience for our 5th year anniversary. The restaurant had amazing views, excellent customer service, and good food. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great when we visited but there still were good views. Our waiter ( I think his name was Patrick) was very professional and helpful. Drinks were also well made. For appetizers, we had the scallops and watermelon crisp oysters that were very interesting. For entrees, my wife had the catch of the day, and I had the duck that was so tender and very tasteful. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or celebration dinner where you don't mind splurging.

    I stopped in for an early afternoon drink. Everyone from beginning to end was helpful and very nice. Sometimes rooftop places are snooty. This was not the case. The bartender a were very good and made interesting drinks. This place would be great for after work drinks. I don’t have any food, but my drinks were solid. I also grabbed some of their coasters because they look cool.

    One of the finest restaurants I've ever had the privilege of visiting. I remember our waiter telling us that the sous chef personally checks each dish before it comes out, and this attention to detail was certainly reflected in the presentation of the food. Everything tasted amazing. If you visit, I would highly recommend splurging to try a little bit of everything on the menu. We got the cheesy dip for a starter and I remember it being phenomenal. I'm again blanking on the name of the entree I got, because I am writing this review months after visit, but it was a bunch of wild meats presented on a skewer. This dish was well cooked and season, but a little tough to get through. Beware if you aren't a fan of touch chewy meats. If you visit, you MUST try the mashed potatoes. My friend who brought me here would not stop hyping it up, and she was not wrong. They were seriously the best potatoes I've ever had. Our dessert was also phenomenal, but i'm forgetting the name. The picture is uploaded for you to see. I would also recommend that. Make sure to walk around the balcony before you leave. I sincerely I hope I get to visit again.

    Beautiful location. Keep in mind that there is a dress code. The waiter was attentive and friendly. They also recommended some dishes for those who have never dined in before. We did not wait too long for the food. The food overall was good, what you would expect. After your meal, check out the decks to take pictures of the city.

    If you haven’t been to The Bygone you gotta check it out. Located within the Four Season on the rooftop you have excellent views of the inner harbor city lights. The food here is amazing and the drinks are out of this world!! I highly recommend The Goodwill Cocktail…. Delicious 😋 This establishment is all about the dinning experience and taking in the beautiful views of the Inner Harbor, very romantic spot for a first date!!

    The Bygone Restaurant is located at the rooftop of the Four Seasons Hotel that offers a elevated, breath taking view of the Harbor waterfront and view of the city. When we arrived at The Bygone restaurant, we were immediately greeted with great hospitality from every staff that came in contact with us. The interior decor was elegant and very attractive for a fine dining experience. Our hoist was very attentive, entertaining and friendly. Our entrées consists of a Seafood Tower, Caesar Salad, Wild Bird Poultry, Lamb Chops, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potato’s and Brussel Sprouts and great drinks, all served with full flavor.

    I'll start by saying that the food was tasty and beautifully plated, the service was excellent, and the view was best in the city. My biggest issue was specifically with the entrees. They were not to the level I expected for the price they are charging and the sides for the entrees also fell short. However, this is somewhere I will be coming back for some apps and drinks. Thank you to the wonderful staff 👏🏼

    I had heard alot about this place. It is as good as advertised. The environment, service and food were excellent. Incredible view of Baltimore City while dining and even better food. Make sure you bring your cash because it isn't cheap!

    Bygone was a nice upscale restaurant which is part of the Atlas group, the service, staffs, and food was ok for a fine dinning restaurant. The view was amazing which over looks the city of Baltimore. For starters we had east coast west coast oyster, shrimp cocktail, and crab dip. I had the duck breast medium rare, and she had braised pork with a side of mashed potato and Mac and cheese. After dinner we stopped by the bar where I met an old Marine Corp buddy coincidentally, he was in town on business.

    Celebrated my 45th birthday here with friends & family. It was a superb choice. Everything was excellent and there were rave reviews all around the table. THE VIEW WAS SICCCC!!!! Weather was perfect, vibe was great, wait staff was professional, can’t say enough, it checked all the boxes. I will be back!!

  • 5/5 Sade D. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance, the drinks and the staff were ah-mazing. And they have an outside balcony so you can sip and take in the city views. I really wish I could say I loved the food especially for the price but honestly it was just ok. It was plated well and everything looks like it should have tasted great but it was missing flavor. Definitely a 9/10 for ambiance and drinks.

    Came here for a birthday celebration! Hostess and waitress were awesome and friendly. Waitress provided excellent description of the foods and drinks! My favorite dish of all was the butternut squash soup with beef ragout!! It was splendid! For appetizers, we ordered the crispy octopus, oysters, and rockfish ceviche. For entrees, we also ordered the steak, pork tenderloin, pheasant, and short rib. The short rib was a classic go to and delicious. The pheasant was the best entree we ordered! Dessert was ok, ordered the brownie and banana. I would come here again in the future for just drinks, apps, and the views! Food was kinda expensive for what you get; some were worth it and some were meh. Valet parking was available for $25.

    My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The whole experience was perfect. You get the feeling you're in a different era. Aesthetically, everything was beautiful. The food was artfully placed, cocktails were elegantly made, staff were impeccably dressed and kind. The view of the Inner Harbor is probably the best I've ever seen. Stunning! I will say, having this experience is not inexpensive. Though it is worth it, at least once. As soon as you enter the lobby, all staff are amazing and give you a truly unique experience. Our food was delicious. I had the crab cake and asparagus soup. I'd visit again, just for the asparagus soup! So yummy! My husband had the grilled chicken and mac and cheese. The portions are the size they should be, not the gigantic portions most restaurants have these days. Which I think is a good thing. We had four cocktails; Daisy, Bee's Knees, Zombie, and El Diablo. All were delicious and potent. Again, this was a bit pricey but you're not only paying for the food/cocktails alone. Consider the view and whole experience part of the price. I highly recommend The Bygone. You will have an amazing experience.

    6June2023 The restaurant was nice overlooking the water. The food and wine was delicious. My Brussels sprouts were prepared well. The waiter need to get a better uniform for working in a 5-star restaurant. The atmosphere was excellent.

    I love roof tops and pretty views. This place is perfect if you don’t want to drive to NYC or DC. However, music choices and crowd wasn’t to pleasing on Saturday night. Dinner was delicious but we all were too hungry to take pics. I’ll get pictures for my google family next time I visit there.

    Went to the beautiful Bygone in Baltimore to celebrate my handsome’s birthday and it did not disappoint! Did the valet parking and entered the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel. We took an elevator up 29 stories and entered the immaculate entryway. Greeted by thee most professional and well-dressed staff. My request for a window seat was honored and we had a lovely view of the city. The wait staff was super professional and friendly. They provided a very thoughtful card with envelope for my handsome with a special “happy birthday” message. We enjoyed the Old Bay poached shrimp as our appetizer Our entree were just as amazing - Maryland crab cake, rack of lamb potatoes and Mac and cheese! Cocktails 10/10! Order the “Bygone Daisy” its tequila based and tart and sweet! We enjoyed the entire experience and most of all my handsome was elated!

    This was the absolute best dining experience I have ever had. They have valet outside, they check your coat at the door, the waiter Alex was top tier, and the food was amazing. I had the prime rib and my wife had the seafood tower. It was all delicious. We had every side and it was amazing. I had the whiskey flight from the US and it was really good, and I’m not even a whiskey drinker. The view was also beautiful. It’s the best view of Baltimore you’re going to get anywhere in the city. There’s a balcony with fire lit and A lot of picturesque places for your lady to get her pictures, etc. This was a great experience. Our bill came out to $240 with drinks and food, so keep that in mind. It’s very pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion.

    My partner and I had an amazing experience celebrating our anniversary here. Everyone was so friendly and wonderful, especially our server, Alex. The service was perfectly paced and the atmosphere was great. I'm vegan so I really struggle to find places to eat, but I felt like there were plenty of options on the menu for me here. Not to mention, everything I had was incredible! I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion or just for a nice night out.

    Brunch was very good. The selection from the raw bar to omelets were very well prepared. The wait staff very nice.Took wife there for birthday. Will be back. Just one question, why do you advertise a dress code and don’t enforce it.

  • 5/5 Michele G. 9 months ago on Google
    Didn’t eat here but had a few drinks before dinner. The staff was incredible. The bartenders were attentive and made fantastic drinks. The space is gorgeous and really cared for. They even have a little balcony to stand outside ! Fantastic experience. No wonder there is always a line to get in here

    I recently celebrated a friend’s birthday there and it was amazing. The service, the food and atmosphere was worth the money spent. The only thing that was disappointing was the DJ, who played techno music and majority of the time🙄😬🙄
