Delicious food, fabulous service. A little bit loud, but worth it! Halibut is phenomenal and the skirt steak is excellent! You also can’t go wrong with the Pacific Rim Salad!

Scott’s owes their guests notice of the ongoing building construction on the open table website. The elevator was closed off and the Valet should have been given the authority to allow-access to handicapped folks. It would have been simple as bathroom Access is also on the ground level and folks were allowed to use the elevator to use the bathrooms. So simple. Empower your valet guys. They are great. Instead I was told (am on walking sticks following two back surgeries) that I had to walk to the back of the restaurant to enter. There were 2 sets of stairs , two each to climb. Very difficult for handicapped folks. There is evidently an even longer route that is a ramp walk, but no signs anywhere. Food was good and the service was excellent.

I gave service a 5 star because it wasn't the waitress's fault - she was serving a huge birthday party of about 15-18 people - at least, had several other tables to take care of including ours. She was spread too thin, but she was very pleasant and got our order correct. She did the best she could....get her some help!!!

Unfortunately underwhelming. Lobby area, including bathrooms is currently closed and under construction. Be prepared to walk a good distance (in dark and cold) to bathroom trailers in the parking lot. Food was okay - husband had a garden salad with blue cheese dressing that was underwhelming. Spicy crab bisque was definitely spicy, but didn’t seem to have much crab. Seafood tower was a fair value for cost ($85) - large quantity of calamari, coconut shrimp were fantastic, clams were flavorful, oysters and crab both good. Disappointing to be sat right next to staff computer station and kitchen access door when lots of other tables were open, and even more frustrating when large, older male manager would come to berate and correct staff right next to where we were sitting. Overall, a fairly disappointing experience for the cost, which is a shame because Scott’s used to be a local gem.

We enjoyed our dinner at Scott’s. We were celebrating my husbands birthday. The drinks were good, the food was amazing and the service was excellent. My husband received a free dessert of his choosing plus a bottle of champagne to take home. I highly recommend the spicy crab bisque. Delicious!
