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.

    Had a great time dining at Scott’s Seafood! Waitstaff was friendly and service was fast. Food was hot and delicious! This was the first time dining here with our kids and they really enjoyed the food. They actually did not order from the kids menu, which I didn’t even know they had! I am happy to know this is a kid friendly place! Overall, a wonderful dining experience! Thank you, Scott’s Seafood!!

    Food was delicious, service was great, but parking was terrible. There is no street parking near the restaurant, so one has to park in a garage a couple blocks away and then walk to the restaurant. Scott's previous location was right adjacent to a parking garage, and it is too bad the nice restaurant moved to this inferior location.

    We arrived a few minutes early for our 5pm reservation. We were told we’d have to wait despite there only being one other couple in the entire restaurant. My meal was not edible due to the alcohol taste. However, the wait staff were excellent! We came away feeling that we were not welcome because of the reception we had in the beginning. It was my husband’s birthday and I wish I’d chosen another restaurant.

    Disappointed, the Prixe Fixe menu that I had to reserve with CC was not offered as stated. They did offer a meal for 2 option but less offerings. NYE experience was basically balloons and decor. Salad seemed like it was out of a bag and small portions on the surface and turf. Miss their old location, ambience not the same.

    We had a beautiful Christmas Eve dinner at Scott's. It was a wonderful dining experience, as usual. I've never had a bad meal at Scott's.
