Serving Great-Tasting Food Since 1976

The Scott’s story began in 1976, with the opening of a simple gracious seafood dinner house in the Marina District of San Francisco. Its phenomenal success led to the opening of a new establishment in the heart of down town San Jose. From the moment it opened, Scott’s captured the best of a growing tradition presenting the finest seafood classically prepared in light, crisp, friendly surroundings.

Scott’s Seafood has been a San Jose tradition for over 40 years, with an emphasis on sustainable, healthy food options. Scott’s Seafood has won the People’s Choice Award for its Boston Style Clam Chowder several years running, reaffirming the consideration that goes in to crafting each meal.

Many of our staff members have been with the company for decades, and even have roots to the original Scott’s in San Francisco. Our culinary crew led by Executive Chef Sammy Reyes follows the same traditions & qualities established by the Original Scott’s.

Ribeye was not worth the $63. Total bill was $220. I have had better dinners for half that price.

Prices a bit on the high side but overall excellent fare. Cioppino and paella were top notch dishes, and I highly recommend the pistachio caramel brulee as a decadent dessert.

I am never disappointed when visiting Scott’s seafood. I tried the raw oysters, rib eye and fish with capers. Everything was equally delicious and did not disappoint. The fresh sour dough with butter is always a plus.

Francisco was a great and friendly waiter. Old fashion cocktail was tasty. Yummy paella. Asked for medium rare lamb chops but they were medium. Did not mention to waiter.

The hot sampler was great. Our whole table enjoyed all of it, and it came with sauces that really complemented the flavors. Service was great, and everything was delicious. The calamari were especially tender while still keeping the batter crispy (and lighter than I expected). I got the lobster roll which was overflowing with lobster. The mayo and chives were just right, not overly sauced. There is no private parking so most of us parked in the garage on 2nd and San Fernando in the adjacent building. There was plenty of parking there during lunchtime.
