                                                            First off the food was excellent !!! I just think that the reception desk and the seater were not the best . Try to seat us in a dirty booth we had to complain to be moved to a differant table .

                                                            Amazing food and service. everything was on point. we went for my husbands birthday and we were a group of 4. We ordered crab cakes that were delicious and a cesaer salad to start. Then me and my husband had filet and shrimp that was flavorful and tender. Our friends had the skirt steak and Shrimp Louie. The presentation of both were perfect. We also had cocktails and I suggest the Guava Rita. And defiantly the Crème Brulee for dessert.

                                                            Our evening started off with a friendly greeting upon our arrival. We were seated right away. Everything was just right festive for the holiday decor. We had very tasty cocktails along with an appetizer. The menu has a nice variety. We had Rocky’s Airline Chicken, Grilled Skirt Steak, Spicy Cajun Pasta & Petrale Sole - all were delicious. Our food server provided excellent service & attention. She added to our enjoyment of the evening. We have been here several times. We definitely will come back.

                                                            I always like going to Scotts for the convenience, cocktail and food. Today was a bit off, maybe because of the season. The food wasn’t up to what we were used to, but still ok. Our first server apparently was not having a good day, maybe too many parties, and wasn’t very friendly. Overall, this was a one time ‘not the best’, but will still go and hope this was an isolated experience.
