   The fish & chips was good, homemade tartar was great. Spicy chicken pasta was good, but needed some more nuanced flavorings and the portion could feed a family of 3. 😂 The blackened Salmon was a bit spicier than the average, but still good. Their craft cocktails are excellent. But the star of the show was our wait dress, Kiera. Were it not for her would have been a 3 star rating. But more expensive than it used to be, but that’s likely due to the staff shortages caused by Covid. Still worth it though.

   Scott’s used to be top restaurant in North Seattle. They used to top in the Northwest for French Onion Soup. One of their favorite salads has been the Maple Chicken salad. However, they have changed both the French Onion Soup and the Maple Chicken salad. The French Onion Soup used to have cheese covering entire top and over the sides, not any more. The Maple Chicken salad used to have full chicken breast and a nut crusted Gorgonzola ball (best part), now you get three very dry pieces of chicken and blue cheese crumbles. Things have changed and not our favorite place any more. There are other problems but my highlights are management related.

   I had a reservation and we requested to sit outside on the patio. We were told we could be seated there but it would be "5 more minutes". 20 minutes later multiple others had been seated in the restaurant but not us and by then we were very hungry so we requested any available table. We were seated about 10 minutes later in the regular dining room. So it took half an hour to get a seat - would have liked to have been told "no outside seating" since that ended up being the case. My companions food looked good but my crab/artichoke sandwich was so mixed in mayo and covered in cheese that you couldn't taste any crab nor artichoke at all. Hard to tell there was any. So greasy I couldn't eat it. When my salad came it wasn't the right one, so it was sent back. When my salad arrived (Farmhouse Blue Cheese) it was so covered in dressing you couldn't see any green. What is up with this covering everything in rich sauce/dressing? My recommendation - do as my companion did and ask for your dressing "on the side" or your salad will be drenched. I was really disappointed with my expensive meal since I couldn't eat much of it - way too much gunk on everything. On the positive side, the calamari appetizer was really good! The waitress was friendly and attentive as well. I will probably give them another chance some time but I won't order that sandwich and dressing will always be on the side!

   Good food, attentive service, lively atmosphere. Excellent French Onion soup. Location has a neighborhood feel to it but can get pretty busy at lunch and also after work.

    We decided to give Scott's a second chance as figured they must have been short staffed on our prior visit. It had always been our favorite restaurant. Well, again the service was poor, took 10 minutes to get a glass of wine and when it came they served me a white instead of a red, and paid 40 for grilled salmon that was overcooked along with vegetables that were mushy from overcooking. All was luke warm by the time it got to our table. Never again!

    We haven’t been to Scott’s since 2019. We were surprised at the change in level of service. In the past our servers have been “pro’s”. Not so much now. My mothers meat loaf meal was served without mashed potatoes. Basically 1/3 of her meal was missing. I asked the server if their iced tea was still flavored? I was told it was not. When it arrived, I took a big gulp just to find it was some tropical flavored “stuff” instead of basic black tea (unsweetened and unflavored) as promised. Seemed like it was one thing after another. And the final straw was paying $150 for three of us to eat. The value was not there as it has been in the past. I am sad. I used to love Scott’s…

    The service was outstanding and my waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was very good. I had Eggs Benedict which was yummy. The Bloody Mary was strong but the mix they used tasted odd. I drank it but wouldn’t order another one from there in the future. Overall it was a relaxing and delicious lazy Sunday experience.

    Scotts is an old favorite restaurant. Menu is good, food is well prepared and our waitperson was knowledgeable and helpful. We were celebrating two birthdays and Scott's provided complimentary deserts for the occasion. Was wondering how it fared Covid and it appears to still be the place we expected. Recommended

    My two sons took me to Scott’s bar and Grill for Mother’s Day dinner. Our reservation was at 6:45 PM and they had been Uber busy all day. So when we got there the food choices on the menu had been very limited. Our waiter went back-and-forth to the grill and ultimately was able to get us acceptable choices other than what we had originally wanted. Then when we were finished eating we waited for like 10 or 15 minutes trying to get our check but our waiter has seemingly disappeared. So what is usually a 10 all across the board, we went away rather disappointed. That being said, will be back again because I know that’s not the norm for Scott’s bar and grill!

    My kids took me out for Mother's Day. Scott's is a "go to" restaurant for us. Was really disappointed when I ordered the seafood grilled trio--scallops almost raw, salmon cooked pretty good, and shrimp overcooked. I sent it back and got the Bolognese instead. I think the waitress also misunderstood when I asked her to bring me a box with the bolognese. I wanted to only eat half of it. I think she thought I wanted to also take the horrible seafood and left it in front of me until she came with the Bolognese and box. When it came to dessert, we didn't get any as the only choice was lava molten cake. So, I headed back up to Arlington and my kids went someplace in Seattle for dessert that stayed open later. Anyway, I was very disappointed at the whole experience. Maybe time to try somewhere new.

    Scott's seems to have gone downhill from the pre-COVID restaurant. I would always rate it a 4-5 star in the past. Appetizer was not hot this time and they ran out of rice and used a poor substitute. They also ran out of key lime pie. We dined at 5:30 pm so it wasn't at the end of the day either.

    Set up Mothers Day reservation for mom! Turns out I could not get mom in the car without assistance. Decided we drive down to the restaurant order and take our meal back to her adult day home to eat. I was quoted 30 minutes for the order to be ready. Over an hour later we finally get our meal after sitting in th parking lot the entire time. We get home to cold meal, uncooked greasy fries that would make your stomach curl. Spent $72 dollars TOO MUCH for a disappointing meal for mom!

    Over a 1 hour wait for cold food. Made a huge deal over a very limited vegan option. Then cooks added mayo (a vegan no no.) ended up not charging our group of 6. We did tip waitress 20% of the original bill.

    The service was great by our waitperson, but since there is a bit of an employment issue, it could have been better. No fault of the restaurant. Our server was great! The Almond crusted scallops were absolutely cooked to perfection and delicious! They have a new bread that is almost as good as the previous foccacia. Always have a good time here. My hearing issue always wishes for a quieter area. There were two party tables that probably made it difficult for me to here. Usually I ask for a quiet area to sit to avoid this issue.

    We ate in the bar area on Easter. Not crowded, very pleasant. Food was delicious. Filet mignon was like butter, but the mashed potatoes were a bit runny. Fries were good though. Yummy salad with lots of bleu cheese! Friendly servers.
