"Had a cup of the French onion soup and spinach salad along with an Arnold Palmer (iced tea with lemonade). Food was delicious and the service was attentive but not intrusive. Be sure to use the free valet parking that is available in this shopping center. It's in the back on the north side of the shopping center. Available from 11 to 3."

"For before-theatre dining, we all like to go to Scott's. It's close to Lucie Stern Theatre and other activities in the area. Friends who join us have no trouble finding this central location and always find something on the menu that appeals. Something for everyone...not just seafood. And for me, I'm loving the rainbow trout these days."

"We've eaten at Scott's for many years, but we usually eat outside and/or arrive early. This time we ate inside at 7:30 on a Thursday night. There was a band and the noise level was pretty high with patrons trying to talk over it. We were unlucky enough to be seated near a guy who talked a lot and really loudly. I came home from dinner with a sore throat from trying to talk to the others in my party. I'd prefer no band and, of course, no other really loud customers.
I did like the food and service, as usual."

"We have visited several Scott's restaurants in California and they have always been a favorite. This particular one we found to be less than what we usually experience. The food was very bland, it was not crowded and was obviously more of a senior senior hangout. The decor was very outdated. Quite surprising for a restaurant so close to Stanford University."

"This was our first time at this restaurant. It was a Friday night and we had to wait 15 minutes past our reservation time for a table because the restaurant was really busy, which also meant that service was slow, although the waiter tried to mitigate that. They were out of the fried salmon roll, and the food took forever to arrive, which was challenging with a 5 year old. We ended up eating a lot of bread and butter. The waiter was very friendly and apologetic and comped a nice glass of wine for me. Although the wait was too long, the food was fresh, flavorful."

"As occasional Palo Alto visitors, this was our first visit to Scott's. It is now my favorite restaurant there. On entering, the crowded bar is to the right where there was live guitar music that was pleasant and not so loud that people could not converse. Main dining was to the left and where we sat the music was nicely in the background. The waiter patiently waited for one of our lagging partners, was appropriately attentive during dinner. The halibut, fish & chips and arctic char were all well prepared and delicious. Cant wait to return during our next visit."

"Scott's "ciopinno" was surprisingly good. The mixed environment with a band attempting to party hardy in the bar while diners are randomly dispersed in poorly laid out spaces was the largest drawback. The 'back 40' room where we were seated felt like an overflow room. Our server was quite good but even he seemed to be saying, 'it's weird to be out here'."

"You can always expect Scott's to give a satisfying experience. There aren't many restaurants in the area that have that Chicago dinner house, white table cloth atmosphere. There's no loud, cramped, frenetic hot spot, soon to fade, rush to seat the many waiting, well oiled customers. They actually let you enjoy your cocktail at the table without pressing for your order."

"went for Valentine's day, very poorly run. we had a reservation and did not wind up eating until after the place was closed. we were the last people there. the hostess was clueless and when I went to ask what was going on I got a different answer everytime, including shrugged shoulders. first time there and the last time. our waitress was very nice though."

"My rating is "Very Good" for Overall and Food because I think "Outstanding" should be reserved for experiences that change your life. But the food was excellent, as was the service. I was going to a concert at Stanford (across the street), so ate early with a friend. Don't know what the bar scene or noise level gets to later in the evening. I would say that a meal at Scott's is really a very pleasant experience, and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Not sure why a previous review said there were not very many seafood choices....there were many choices last Saturday night. Two in our party had King Salmon (one was on the regular menu, the other was a special preparation that night), another of our party had Petrale Sole, and I had the Seafood Sauté (scallops, prawns, and two small pieces of Dungeness crab--yummy!!,) We all enjoyed our dinners and there were many other fish selections. We each had a salad; Spinach, Caesar, and my husband had the seared ahi appetizer which he loved!
The restaurant was busy but not crazy busy which was nice for us. thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambience!!"

"Lobster, oysters, fish and chips were all excellent. The knowledgeable server presented food and drink options clearly. Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was always timely and friendly."

"I'm hoping this was a one time thing, but the service was terrible. I think our waiter had too many tables and just couldn't handle them all. The menu was completely inadequate for a seafood place. The choice of seafood was very small (Tuna, Prawns, Scallops and lobster tail, that's about it). A seafood place like this (on the pacific coast) needs a much broader selection of fish (swordfish, marlin, mahi mahi, etc. etc). I think the steak selection was better than the seafood selection."

"I had a horrible experience. I told the hostess it was my mom's birthday and she forgot. Our server was not very friendly. I've been here a few times in the past and ordered the halibut. They changed their menu and no longer have this. I ordered the trout and the sauce was way too heavy. Food was not memorable."
