Awesome, a storm coming in and Scott and his team stayed open for our reservation of 6. Food and service was outstanding. Mark was great as our waiter and couldn’t have asked for more from the entire team. Thank you.

Amazing experience for our 38th Anniversary! Because of my career, my wife and I have been very fortunate to enjoy many high end dinners at upscale establishments but none have surpassed the experience we had at Scott's Friday evening. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately in a "special small room" since it was a special occasion for us. Our Server, Brianna was amazing, friendly and attentive and was just a pleasure. Food order for my wife was two lobster tails with baked potato and cream spinach and it was as good as any lobster we have ever ordered. I ordered blackened Maui with baked potato and crispy Brussel sprouts which were out of this world. The Maui was seasoned perfectly and was the perfect texture......as good as I have ever had. We were briefly checked on by both the dining room manager as well as the owner who wanted to be assured, we were enjoying our experience. At the end of our meal we were served a complementary dessert to top off our celebration....nice touch. The Gainesville square is a great environment and we enjoyed walking for a bit after dinner. Overall I could not recommend this establishment any higher and will be a regular for our evenings out.
