    The spinach strawberry salad with a side of bacon was delicious. We also had brussels sprouts which were excellent; crispy and not too sweet. The lox with eggs and a bagel was a big portion; we recommend switching to an English muffin to make it easier to eat. The french toast was amazing! Service was great 👍🏼 We will definitely go back soon.

    Beet salad was good. “The Contender” cocktail was excellent. Cherry sour was unbalanced. Cast iron salmon was a big disappointment. Salmon was cooked unevenly, cooked well in places but nearly raw in others and cauliflower puree was like eating plain white sauce. Spaghettini was good but nothing special.

    Was super excited to have brunch here, but unfortunately we were left pretty bummed about the food. My mimosa was incredible, loved the flower water and bitters! But the shrimp and grits tasted like someone had dumped marinara sauce onto them, and the sausage was dry as the Sahara. My boyfriend’s bagel looked ok, but it did fall apart pretty quickly. Overall the place was super cool, but the food jsut didn’t meet up to the hype.

    Overall, our brunch was pretty good. There was an issue with our appetizer order not being submitted, however, management rectified it for us and comped them appropriately. The brunch items were somewhat limited, but what we ordered was decent. Scout didn't stand out to the point where we would return as it was overall just okay.

    Pretzel bites and fried cauliflower were good and so was the burger. The corned beef hash would have been a lot better if the fried eggs had not been hard-cooked. There was zero runny goodness. Also, the menu said it was served with hollandaise but it was more of a cheese sauce. It really could have used the brightness of hollandaise vs whatever we had. Two friends who got the frittata also said it was overcooked, so someone in the kitchen needs to be kinder to the eggs. :) We were with a group and did not want to be a pain and send it back. Service was great.

    We had a variety of the menu: watermelon salad, zucchini fritters, burgers, salmon sandwich, steak and frites and the pastilles for dessert. The waitress was amazing, water service was continual, we never had to find someone to ask for anything, someone was always right there. Drinks were good and inventive! I will say the pastilles were not my favorite…I felt like they could have used some sugar and spice given they are a dessert item. Very strong sweet potato flavor but the pastry was delish. Will be back!

    We had a 7pm reservation for two and asked to be seated outside on the patio. We were instead taken to a table by the street which was nbd. I ordered one drink at 7:10 and it came at 7:15. At this point the waitress asked if we were ready and I asked for just a few more minutes. While the drink was great, our waitress didn’t return to our table to take our order until 7:45. On top of this there was no “sorry we’re slammed right now”, she just asked “how is everything?” When all we had was one cocktail and waters. Needless to say I asked for the bill. I understand busy but forgetting a table for 30 minutes is a little crazy.

    Things started well with drinks and very good appetizers. Things went downhill from there. The restaurant was very quiet that evening, yet it took over 30 minutes before our entree arrived after the appetizer plates were picked up. One of the guests asked for her steak to be cooked medium with the sauce on the side. It came medium-well with sauce covering the meat. The chicken and waffles were over sauced with a heat level that was more overpowering than contributing to the flavor of the meat. I had hoped for a much better meal based on previous reviews.

    My group visited for Sunday brunch. It had been over a year since the last time we visited. We are foodies and looking for southern food with a twist, and we found it at Scout. We were greeted by the hostess promptly and asked about wifi and was told it doesn’t work(which was unfortunate because we wanted to post a Instagram live while we were there.) We ordered the watermelon thing drinks and mimosas and they were perfect to start our brunch and sampled the pretzel bites for an appetizer. We ordered the CBH (corned beef hash) and it was crispy, tender, and so flavorful. We also ordered the strawberry French toast (it was so good we ordered one to go), farmers frittata, and the phoenix (Nashville hot chicken paired with a cheese waffle). We sat in a nook of the restaurant and enjoyed tasting all the dishes and our server was wonderful. We will visit again soon.

    Our evening at Scout was magical. We sat outside on a beautiful Friday night and listened to neighboring music while enjoying a convivial atmosphere on the high patio. From the excellent wine by the glass (Sauvignon Bordeaux), smashed cauliflower appetizer, Grouper (amazing), Salmon (just ok) to the delicious peach cobbler it was such a wonderful experience! Can’t wait to return for brunch Or Tuesday night cocktails. Highly recommend. Oh and impeccable service to boot!!

    Lovely spot in the old and historic former Scottish Rite children’s hospital. Building could use some restoring, but is a really great environment. Food, wine and cocktails delicious! The deviled eggs fantastic. I loved my cast iron skillet salmon and my friend’s chicken and waffle looks fab too.
