    We brought our friends to enjoy our annual holiday meal. Everyone enjoyed the food and service and said they would definitely return. My seafood pasta was the best. The clam chowder was delicious. Very nice evening. Thank you

    Food and service was great. The violinist playing Xmas music was the icing on the cake - she played beautifully!

    It was a somewhat slow night however it made it much more intimate with Eduardo providing the music. We had the Chilean Seabass, and the lamb chops, which were both outstanding. It may have been the best poached fish I have had. Service was good.

    We love Scott’s for all the reasons that you choose fine dining. Consistently the food is done to perfection. Service is attentive but not over bearing. The ambiance if you can get one of the small cubbies is priceless. Happy to see Scott’s open.

    We celebrated an anniversary at Scott’s and it was very nice. Went to the lounge first for a cocktail. Both the drinks and the staff were wonderful. Attention by servers was excellent. Our food was delicious. We will return! Eating in the lounge is more casual than the main dining room which is nice to have the choice. Ambiance is very nice. We are glad Scott’s is back providing a great option for upscale dining.
