    Wonderful ambiance, exceptional service by Arturo. The caesars salad, steak, chicken parmesan, thousand layer lasagna, button mushrooms, sprouts, gelato with choc/caramel sauce and chocolate mousse was delicious! Loved our time here. Also ordered the ham and bree pie drizzled with honey to go - that was yum. Overall, a solid pleasant experience. Loved the color palette, friendly vibes. The table spacing made it feel comfortable and spacious. Lovely space to have a meal with loved ones.

    It was a delightful dinner that night. Although, we’re a bit late coming from mass ✝️ that evening, we still came through and the food was great right on time. I like how the way they served it fresh hot and the wine was right on the kick in. We’ll definitely come back here and highly recommend Scotts to my friends.

    What a wonderful experience, I would have to say the best I have ever had at San Jose’s Mortons Steakhouse. The manager truly did go out of his way to make us feel welcome including introducing us to the Executive Chef. This manager is a true asset to the restaurant and they are very lucky to have him. Needless to say, the service behind the manager was exceptional. The meal was on point as we enjoyed the Miso marinated Sea Bass, Bone in Rib Eye and all of the extras. All were delicious and didn’t let us down. As we were finishing our meal we asked why we keep returning back this restaurant time after time, and it was obvious to us, the Service and food are consistently on point and its truly an experience we can always count on. Thank uou to the managment and staff for a wonderful dining experience and we look forward to returning again soon!!

    I am sure the noise level is much higher when the restaurant is busy, we were there early, so it was still quite empty. Service was outstanding. The food was good and reasonably priced but somehow didn't quie mesh for me. For example, the filling of my quesadilla was very thin but the tortialla very crispy so it was difficult to cut and eat. And the steak (while yummy) was kind of just off to the side on the plate, and did not seem to actually truly be part of a meal. Great space though, I'd recommend it.
