I gave service a 5 star because it wasn't the waitress's fault - she was serving a huge birthday party of about 15-18 people - at least, had several other tables to take care of including ours. She was spread too thin, but she was very pleasant and got our order correct. She did the best she could....get her some help!!!

Unfortunately underwhelming. Lobby area, including bathrooms is currently closed and under construction. Be prepared to walk a good distance (in dark and cold) to bathroom trailers in the parking lot. Food was okay - husband had a garden salad with blue cheese dressing that was underwhelming. Spicy crab bisque was definitely spicy, but didn’t seem to have much crab. Seafood tower was a fair value for cost ($85) - large quantity of calamari, coconut shrimp were fantastic, clams were flavorful, oysters and crab both good. Disappointing to be sat right next to staff computer station and kitchen access door when lots of other tables were open, and even more frustrating when large, older male manager would come to berate and correct staff right next to where we were sitting. Overall, a fairly disappointing experience for the cost, which is a shame because Scott’s used to be a local gem.

Our evening out was perfect, our server Ashley was so friendly and knowledgeable, she made our experience at Scott’s Seafood a lot of fun, the restaurant is casual but very nice, just what we all enjoy. We had the coconut shrimp and wedge salad for starters and filet’s with lobster and scallops. All cooked perfectly. Nice wine list and delicious lemon drops. Nice views.

We enjoyed our dinner at Scott’s. We were celebrating my husbands birthday. The drinks were good, the food was amazing and the service was excellent. My husband received a free dessert of his choosing plus a bottle of champagne to take home. I highly recommend the spicy crab bisque. Delicious!

It felt like a sports bar. Very loud, food was not worth the price of a 3 star standard.

Service was slow but our server was great. $360 for 4 adults and one kid. 2 adults shared one plate. No bathrooms. Porta potty outside or had to go in the Westin for regular bathroom. The people in the Westin were rude and irritated that we came in to use the restroom. Salmon and Ahi 2 ways was awesome

I wish we would have been notified that the restaurant was under going construction and that only porta-potties were available. Hosted an important client lunch and it was a little awkward.
