    Had Mother’s Day brunch at Scott’s. New decor is nice - brunch food offerings were very good. Scrambled eggs cooked to perfection. Oysters on the Half shell, crab legs and shrimp ~ yum! Very nice desserts!

    I am a long time customer of Scott's on the River. There was a time when the food and service made me wonder if they were going to survive as a business. No longer. The changes in the level of service, the improved food, the overall atmosphere of being able to see the river, have made this a 5 star location for me. My favorites now include the poke nachos, pacific rim salad, clam chowder, and coconut shrimp. The bar has improved as well. It used to take forever to get a drink served to the table. Now it is efficient and the bartenders are more skilled. I had quit ordering mixed drinks because they were heavy on the mix. Now they are nicely balanced and taste like they should. I recommend the pomegranate lemon drop or the peach tea. Finally, my last few visits have highlighted the improved level of customer service. Everyone, the person who seated us, the bus person, and our server, was lovely. They smiled, they joked, they were efficient. (Shout out to our server Tristan.) I look forward to going back.

    Food was very good, but too much. Huge plate of seasoned fries came with my meal so I could only eat half of the portion. I hate wasting food. My wife's filet was excellent as were her prawns. Only criticism was noise level of other loud and obnoxious patrons. No ambience, but good food.

    Mira made our experience SO great! The calamari was outstanding, but we didn't order the best entrees for us. The execution on the food was outstanding, we will be back for sure
