Food, ambience and Happy Hour is Great!! You'll definitely get your money's worth!! My bartender David J. is great!!

Escaped for a few hours after a really challenging week to celebrate a birthday. We made a 7 pm reservation which was a good since they were really busy for a Sunday. Even though they were busy the food service was quick and the drinks were sent before the appetizer. We were seated quickly and had a super nice waiter. He was attentive and helpful with recommendations for food choices. We ordered a Chardonnay and a manhattan for drinks. We ordered the crab cakes as a starter and they did not disappoint. For entrees we ordered one of the specials - the swordfish with risotto and broccolini. Swordfish was seasoned perfectly and the risotto was our favorite. We also ordered the filet mignon with prawns, mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots. The filet was cooked perfectly at a medium rare and was buttery and tender. We also ordered two desserts - the Bittersweet Chocolate-Pistachio-Macadamia Nut Torte. It was so good! Not too sweet but just the right amount of chocolate flavor. We also ordered the apple cobbler with vanilla icecream. Both desserts were delicious and worth the splurge!

We had a chance to have dinner at Scott's seafood Grill in Sacramento last night. I have to say it was unbelievable not just the food the service or our seats overlooking the river. Make sure to check out the picture below I started off with a cinnamon old-fashioned, the calamari, and the crabcake appetizer . Our server, Ashley made sure everything was on point. It was all excellent, and then I went right into the garden salad which came out right away while my wife enjoyed the clam chowder which she said was superb and one of the best clam chowder's she's had. Once we had taken care of those items, we went on to our main course and for me that included that cioppino, which, although it was delicious, I couldn't finish it so many clams, mussels, shrimp, Dungeness crab, and oysters, and sausage. It was spicy, but not too spicy. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to finishing it off. Our party Also enjoyed the soup and salad, the halibut the salmon and the Dungeness crab Louie. I gave this restaurant a five star because our party of 5 agreed everything was on point and I would highly recommend that you try it and I can't wait to get back again to try some other items on the menu .

I love coming here for the Seafood Tower. The clams are my favorite!! This night 2/16/25 we had a great wonder waiter (Miguel). He made the evening so pleasant and enjoyable. We got too full before the actual main dish came out. Of course i will return!

HH oysters, YEEEEES plz!! Their raw oysters are very juicy, fresh and clean, and at $2 a pop, can't beat that! Their grilled garlic butter oysters were fine but could use more flavor. What you do is order the coconut fried shrimp, served with sweet n sour sauce, dip the grilled oysters into the s'n's, and BAAAAM! Wash it all down with a glass of their chardonnay and Mmmm ... tasty treat! Wanted to try their wings too but looked over at others who ordered it and they looked ordinary, nothing special so pass. Nice, chill spot with yummy variety of ocean's delights and refreshing libations. Will definitely keep coming back!

This was my second time dining in at Scott's Seafood. Highly recommend you make reservations in advance on the Open Table app or website. When you arrive to the restaurant, they have valet and self parking. I decided to do self parking and it was a little walk to the restaurant. However, I did notice they had a guy picking up people on a golf cart and bringing them to their car as well monitoring the area, which I appreciated it at nighttime. They are doing renovations so you'll enter from back of the building and there are only outdoor bathrooms right now. Service was fine and our server was friendly and answered all questions my table had about meals. The Scott's Cipporino was so really good. Loved that it had the option to unshell the mussels and crab.

Dinner was very good. I started with a cup of crab bisque. It was more tomato based than I've had before, and not as creamy. Maybe from cooking down too long. My main course was the filet and shrimp, which was really good. The filet was cooked perfectly and was very tender, with asparagus and the prawns cooked through but not over cooked. The server was very attentive and nice. The restaurant provides valet parking or self parking on the north side of the restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and a very nice setting for special occasions or everyday dining, lunch dinner, and happy hour.

We were nearby and decided to get takeout from Scott's Seafood. I always like Scott's, all locations. This one also has the best views. While deciding what to choose from the menu, we opted to have a couple of drinks. The bartender was marvelous as were my bourbons - neat. Our meal consisted of Chowder, Salads and Lobsters. The Boston Clam Chowder was a perfect start - full of tender clam pieces in a delicious broth. The Salads we selected were great: * Scott's Caesar - artisan iceberg / blue cheese dressing / bacon / tomatoes / red onion / radish / shafts blue crumble * Wedge Salad - artisan iceberg / blue cheese dressing / bacon / tomatoes / red onion / radish / shafts blue crumble Our Roasted North Atlantic Lobster Tails were a perfect ending. They came with old bay butter / garlic mashed potatoes / grilled asparagus / drawn butter, A very satisfying meal.
