We love Scott’s for all the reasons that you choose fine dining. Consistently the food is done to perfection. Service is attentive but not over bearing. The ambiance if you can get one of the small cubbies is priceless. Happy to see Scott’s open.

We celebrated an anniversary at Scott’s and it was very nice. Went to the lounge first for a cocktail. Both the drinks and the staff were wonderful. Attention by servers was excellent. Our food was delicious. We will return! Eating in the lounge is more casual than the main dining room which is nice to have the choice. Ambiance is very nice. We are glad Scott’s is back providing a great option for upscale dining.
