What People Are Saying About Scott's Seafood Restaurants

The Scene – Scott's offers a quiet, romantic and leisurely dining experience in an elegant setting. During workday lunch hours, the restaurant attracts a serious executive crowd that talks business over halibut and iced tea. In the evening, the mood becomes laid-back as well-dressed locals turn out for grilled prawns and cosmos. – – The Food – Start with a heaping order of crisply fried, still chewy calamari accompanied by a lightly tangy lemon-and-shallot dipping sauce. The creamy Boston clam chowder is a house specialty, but the soup of the day--especially if it's…

Michael Stagg, Owner of Scott's restaurant doesn't do the right thing..... How sad ;(
by lakesnob
On Friday, December 7, 2007, I was at a PRIVATE Holiday Party which was held at this establishment. At approximately 11:00pm, I noticed my camera was missing from the table I was sitting at. I had set my camera down, (next to my handbag); got up to dance right next to our table and noticed a few minutes later that my camera was missing. I asked several of the wait staff if they had accidentally picked it up when they had cleared the table, and they said no. I was very upset for the fact that one, the photos on the camera are not replaceable and two, I was at a high end establishment and, three the staff was allowing several outside people into our private party. I feel this establishment is responsible for the loss of my camera and Michal Stagg is NOT willing replacing it or even give me some type of compensation. Just a warning for those who are planning to have a party here,
- Cons: dishonest staff

Great stop for lunch! Not your typical "chain-like" restaurant in a high tourist area.

If you want a nice atmosphere for a business lunch, to take a load off while walking through the Jack London Square, or to simply enjoy the water and setting, then Scott's is it. The service is great, the staff cheerful and attendant, and the food delicious. I ordered the Manhattan Clam Chowder and it was the best this side of the Appalachians. The Seafood Louie salad was chock full of crab, and the pour of wine delicious. And while the great weather and magnificent views can't be controlled by the staff, the appropriate seating at an inviting and available was. Thank you!
- Pros: Great food, good for lunch, friendly staff, inexpensive parking, nice setting for business or in jeans

Overrated
by kellsers
I went to Scott's last night and was very disappointed. The service was excellent, but the food was gross. I had an interesting cocktail, the Pom Lemonade. This consisted of lemonade and pomegranate vodka, it was delicious but very stingy on alcohol. We started with the crab and artichoke gratin. The overwelming flavor was of mayonaise and hardly any crab or artichoke was present. My meal was the petrale sole with wilted spinach and mashed potatoes. The sole was okay, but the spinach was so greasy and the potatoes were over-processed. Considering the other reviews of this restaurant, I was very disappointed with the food.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Greasy food
