We had a very lovely lunch overlooking the water and our server was excellent! She asked us if it was a special occasion and we said yes! She made it extra special. This is a great place for a leisurely meal. The ambience is old school special. I enjoyed my clam chowder and the appetizers were a hit.

This restaurant has a great location. The views of the water are nice, and it has many quiet seats for a romantic evening meal. I visit here occasionally with my Darling, and we are always well-catered to by the team. The food is so tasty, and the presentation makes it even more delightful. There's a parking garage nearby, or you can hire a ride service. Either way, I like the trendy area with many sights and activities. There's a free shuttle across the waterway to what appears to be an excellent spot for a walk. It's a very active area around the restaurant, so I plan to make a day of it on my next visit. So one of my favorite places to visit over the last couple of years.

Excellent food and service. Perfect scenic view and lovely live jazz piano playing. It’s such a gem in the waterfront of Oakland Jack London area. Watching the water taxi ferrying between Alameda and Oakland was quite interesting. Food- clam chowder was tasty and creamy , I could go for another cup. Raw oysters from British Columbia were fresh and sweet. The house made sauces were great pairing with the oysters. Rockerfella oysters and fish and chips were also fantastic. Crispy and not too salty. Fish was juicy inside with sufficient temperature heat. The string fries were very good. Blue cheese Romain salad with bacon were crisp and delicious. Overall very satisfying meal in a beautiful sunny afternoon .

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 - Located in the heart of Jack London Square, this seafood restaurant is a true gem. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with stunning views of the waterfront. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the visit. From the perfectly seasoned dishes to the friendly service, it was a top-notch dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious seafood in a fantastic setting!

This has to be one of the best seafood spots I've been to. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, had a table with a view of the water and sail boats. Best of all, the food was amazing. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the Clam chowder, one of the best chowders for sure. I also ordered the bear salad which was not only delicious but also had a great presentation. The banana bread pudding... 😋 Was out of this world. Highly recommend everything on the menu! They also surprised my mum I with a rose and a complimentary sherbet served on dried ice. Awesome experience. They also printed out a photo of the experience and gave it to us!

Went on Valentines day mid afternoon and Jordan was our server, she was great

The food was delicious. Our server was excellent but we were disappointed with the seating. We were a party of 10. Reservations were made well in advance. When we arrived the hostess made the seating situation confusing in that we had to sit at 2 separate tables, not close to each other at that. We inquired as to why when we had a reservation for ten people. Next to us there was a table set for 10 people ( of which remained empty during our entire dining experience). After a quiet quick short back and forth with the hostess we pretty much ignored her and sat at 2 tables next to each other where we had already been seated. All they had to do was put the tables together. We were celebrating the birthday of 3 cousins. We continued to the Sunday buffet and filled our bellies. When we were done dining and paying the bill we notice tables being joined together for guests to complete at least a 10 top. Scott’s management team should definitely address this issue and train the hostess to treat all persons equally despite our color differences. If it had not been for the hostess I would have given a 5 star. Maybe I will give a 5 star on the next rodeo, if there is one. However, the food was so good I forgot to take pictures of all that I ate. And the jazz was excellent!!

Some of the best oysters to date. Got a dozen for the table then went light with their seafood salad, which was very nice, then went straight for 2 great deserts (Pecan Pie and Cheese Cake). Coffee was fantastic. Had a window seat with a great view of dive bombing pelicans. Fun experience. Will explore the bigger fare next time. Service was good but very ok....from the host to the waiter to the bussing service...most had a very sober demeanor which really makes you wonder what management was like.

We came here to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Old fashioned cooking. Lots of creamy sauce, hearty meats. The wine list is ok. The service was great, attentive but not intrusive. The location is great. Our parking validation did not work but there is a big safe garage next door.

So Scott's is usually a great place. My wife and I frequent there whenever we can. On this occasion, however, there was a brunch special. We did not ask what was on the menu and we did not ask how much it cost. We paid the bill and we ate the food and we left a tip. The food was a bunch of side orders. There was no main course. It looked like a bunch of eggs. It look like breakfast stuff. We weren't satisfied. There was no main course at all. The shrimp gumbo was fantastic. We thought the shrimp probably was the best thing there. We enjoyed the ham and cheese, the salami and cheese. We just felt it. It lacked for $160 for two people. It was lacking. With that being said, Scotch is usually a great place. I would recommend checking into the food and asking the prices first because quite frankly for about half of that we could have ordered a big old bowl of seafood, linguine. Do your homework

The restaurant is beautiful, service is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. We were there on a Sunday so we enjoyed the live jazz music. I ordered their herb crusted halibut which was fresh and delicious, highly recommend. My dad ordered their sword fish which he requested to be seated instead of covered in crab and batter as originally prepared since he can to have batter nor crab. The swordfish was a huge disappointment, it was clearly a frozen piece of fish which was shocking considering this was a seafood restaurant. Our mistake was not asking if it was fresh of course but for a $45 piece of fish at a seafood restaurant, we expect freshness. Our server was lovely and gave us a free dessert, we were just sad about the swordfish. So, if you order fish, I’d ask if it’s fresh before confirming your order.

I have visited Scott's on many occasions but never for a reception for a restaurant. This was quite a joyous occasion and I really appreciated how nicely the restaurant was decorated in the back and how it was all set up. Overall it's definitely would be a great option for hosting events in the future

I visited this restaurant and ordered the clam chowder soup for myself and the chicken tenders with fries from the kids’ menu for my 4-year-old. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any activities or entertainment for children, and the first issue was that my soup arrived much earlier than my son’s meal. He became more restless and hungrier, so I ended up walking around the restaurant with him to keep him entertained. By the time I could eat my soup, it had gone cold and thick (although it was very warm and delicious at first). When my son’s food finally arrived, there was no ketchup on the table, and it took a while to get it. In the end, my son didn’t eat his food at all, and I had to eat my soup cold. The positive side was that the server noticed what happened and kindly removed my son’s meal from the bill, which I appreciated.

Our first time here and extremely disappointed. Service was great. The place looks nice and festive. Loved the live piano and the view was just amazing. The food, however, was awful. The calamari came drenched in butter- not even crispy. The fish and chips that our teens ordered was not very good. Crab salad was not that great ( I was excited to try it- it should have been amazing). The only thing that seemed fresh were the veggies that came on each plate. Most of our plates were full of food when we asked for them to be cleared. Nobody asked why we didn’t eat much. Still, we had a good time there and normally, I wouldn’t even write a review but since the meal cost almost $400 for our group of 4, I felt I needed to. The food should be better for that price.
