A 5* experience! We enjoyed the holiday ambience, so much positive energy, the service was absolutely sublime! We started with oysters and crudo; followed by gluten free penne ala vodka.. This was a very seriously tasty gluten free pasta, strongly recommend.. Branzino was so tender with a crispy skin; there is some elegant lightness to this dish, a must try.. Side grilled mushrooms and broccolini are insane! Thank Zia and the team, Happy Holidays!

I had an incredible dining experience at Score on Queen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Rucker, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely delightful, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I can't wait to return and enjoy another fantastic meal. Highly recommend!

Delicious food, lots of options. Venue isn’t large so probably best to call ahead on game or concert nights if you need a table larger than 5.
