    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.

    It was a delightful experience from beginning to end. I ordered a filet mignon steak with prawns and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the spicy pasta and it was excellent. I recommend this establishment!

    Scott's Seafood overall was a very nice experience. Our waitress (Ashley?) was very nice and attentive during the whole meal. She gave advice on what her favorites and answered all our questions about the menu. The food was delicious and the portions were large. We started off with the calamari appetizer and they were crunchy on the outside and so soft on the inside. Sometimes calamari can be so chewy, but tonight's was so soft and tender. I had the filet and shrimp. Filet was cooked to medium as I ordered and seasoned very well. The mashed potatoes and veggies were cooked perfectly and the shrimp being on skewers made for nice presentation and the seasoning made them so tasty. My friend had the ahi two ways and the plate was so full of food we joked it should be called ahi two ways for two people. The seared ahi was cooked perfectly and the ahi poke reminded you of being in Hawaii. Finished off the meal with pineapple sorbet and dulce de leche gelato. Both hit the spot. Atmosphere was festive as it's getting close to Christmas. Scott's prices are a little pricey, but with all restaurants having raised prices you get very good value quality and quantity for what you pay for. Highly recommend Scott's Seafood for special occasions, date night, business meals, group meals, birthdays, anniversaries and if you're looking for a delicious meal with great service. Thank you Ashley and Scott's for a super dinner. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families.
