    Most restaurants don’t put a lot into whatever vegan dish they offer. Scott’s vegetable and tofu stir fry in a delicious sauce with white rice was fantastic!!!

    The crab cakes eggs Benedict were excellent. They were served with perfectly cooked garlicky potatoes.

    We had a table indoors, away from the bar. We enjoyed good food and service. Originally we had planned to sit in the bar area since it was happy hour. However, the noise level would have made us uncomfortable. We appreciated our meal in the quieter dining area. Food was good and very plentiful. We picked the restaurant because it was an easy drive from the Music Circus theater. We'll return after our next theater visit.

    I’ve been going to Scott’s since they opened. Have never had a bad experience. Haven’t been there in about a year, and the first thing we noticed was a new menu with new increased pricing. Totally understandable. However, they got everyone’s food order wrong - sending the wrong items for two people and cooking eggs incorrectly twice. When the bill came they charged for the returned incorrect items along with the corrected ones. The saving grace was our amazing server who remained calm and gracious and was wonderful! I’ll probably return- maybe just an off day for the cooks…

    Always great food and service. Sometimes it can be a little noisy. Very spacious. Never have to wait long. Making a reservation on open table is easy and fast
