The Panoramic-View Restaurant on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in Maryland Is a Must-Visit

Packed with cultural attractions and fantastic dining, Baltimore is one of the best cities in the Northeast. I've only been there a few times, but there are plenty of destinations I can't wait to get back to. One thing Baltimore doesn't get enough credit for is its beautiful waterfront. It's not on the ocean, but it borders the Patapsco River, and the Inner Harbor inlet is one of the city's best hubs of destinations with a view. I think the best way to view the harbor is with a seat at the Rusty Scupper, the best waterfront restaurant in Maryland. This old-school seafood house has been a destination in Baltimore for over 30 years, and when the sun goes down, it promises one of the most incredible views you can find in the entire state.

A fixture on Baltimore's Inner Harbor for over 30 years, The Rusty Scupper is one of those classic seafood joints that just feels like home. The rustic vibe is perfect when you want to taste Baltimore's signature dishes without completely breaking the bank.

The menu should be familiar but it still packs some big surprises. The lump crab cakes here are among the best in Maryland, as they should be as one of the state's signature dishes. If you want some perfectly grilled fish, you can choose to have it simply grilled with a lemon butter blanc, Asian-style with udon noodles, or Maryland-style topped with lump crab. And, of course, there are steaks available for the landlubbers.

The restaurant is surrounded by windows, so you'll have an amazing view of the Inner Harbor, one of the best spots in Maryland for sitting by the water and watching the sunset. It's the perfect way to end the day on a Baltimore vacation.

If you just can't get enough of the view, you can book a night's stay at The Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore, one of the city's best hotels.
