- HHectorWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoRestaurant Review: Rusty Scupper – Baltimore, MD (Inner Harbor) My wife and I recently visited Rusty Scupper for the first time on Valentine’s Day, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Service & Atmosphere I had made a 7:30 PM reservation, and we arrived at 7:28 PM. After checking in at the front desk, we walked upstairs, and within 20 seconds, our name was called. The seating process was smooth and well-organized, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. Food & Drinks Due to the holiday, the restaurant had a set menu. I ordered the lobster tail, while my wife opted for the lobster tail with an added crab cake. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were outstanding. The drinks complemented our meal perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Final Thoughts Rusty Scupper delivered excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-tier seafood. It has definitely earned a spot on my list of restaurants to return to. If you’re looking for a great waterfront dining experience in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, this place is a must-visit. Rating: 5/5 – Highly Recommended!More infoRusty Scupper - BaltimorePrice: Expensive• Seafood• Inner Harbor•4.7
- BBarbaraBaltimore / Maryland •17 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe really enjoyed our Valentine dinner here. Everything was superb! Our reservation was a little earlier than I personally like but...🤭when you make it 3 days before V-Day! It ended up being the perfect time. It was not crowded compared to when we finished. We got an appetizer - the fried calamari - it was not heavily coated and the calamari were tender! Warning - if you get this as an app, have more than two people sharing, it is huge! We got one of the specials for Valentine - two stuffed jumbo shrimp and lamb chops. Again, it was huge! We each brought one of the shrimp home for another meal! And I did leave one lamb chop to bring home. Our server, Josh, was great. They did not have the wine I wanted but he checked to see what others they had(we wanted a Malbec)! It was a wonderful evening and definitely on our places to return to!More infoBy The DocksPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Essex•4.5
