Scott's Seafood Mountain View (fka The Cantankerous Fish)
Since opening its doors in 2003, Scott's Seafood Mountain View has enjoyed rave reviews for its fresh cuisine, attractive presentation and attentive staff. Modern art and colorful interior give the restaurant a relaxed, vibrant feel. A recent remodel and expansion has created a beautiful banquet room, full bar and cocktail lounge. This is a perfect place for a romantic evening, formal business luncheon, or casual dinner with family or friends. We also offer patio dining. Voted Mountain View’s Best Seafood 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011!!!

"Nice location for a restaurant on Castro Street in Mountain View.
Food quality is mediocre. For a seafood restaurant, I would expect fresh and flavorful but we were served the opposite. On a taster platter, I can say the crab cakes were the highlight, the coconut shrimp and the calamari overcooked. A dish that was a miss although in description was something I was looking forward: shrimp over wild mushroom ravioli. Shrimp overcooked and the sauce coating the shrimp and the pasta was diluted and watery. The pasta filling lacking in flavor for wild mushroom likely cheap filling to cut the cost.... this dish with a little care in prep would be delicious.
This was a quiet Monday night what would it be like on a busy night?"

"i booked a table for our family here for mother's day and pretty much ended up in the doghouse. i wanted to bring my wife here for a seafood lunch. we liked it when it was the cantankerous fish. also, we've had good dinners at the scott's in downtown san josé. i figured this would be a safe bet. little did i know that they had a "special" brunch buffet for mother's day. they did not offer their usual menu. my wife was really mad. she complained that it just felt like any old hotel breakfast buffet, that the lines were too long, and that the price was too high. i wish i had booked a table next door at cascal instead. thankfully, when we took my mom out for dinner at sonoma chicken coop (of all places), my wife had a better time."

"Because it was Mother's Day it was very busy. We arrived at 11:15 am for Brunch and they still had all the food listed on the flyer they had sent out, but there was only a few chocolate covered strawberries left and they weren't the best looking. People just arriving were complaining they had run out of salmon and I noticed all the strawberries were now gone. So we got most of what we came for but it was not very special. We had come for Valentines Day also and were impressed with the food and service so we thought it would also be special. They did have prime rib which they cut to order and BBQ baby-back ribs along with the usual egg, potato, and salad choices on buffet trays or bowls and gave a red rose to the Mothers."

"Scott's is an excellent place to eat before or after a show at the Mountain View Performing Arts Center. My wife and I have dined there three times and found the food to be tasty and artfully presented; and the service to be excellent. Scott's isn't cheap, especially the wine, but is probably on a par with other restaurants of similar quality. The setting is open with good views of the street from many tables. They also have outdoors seating."

"It was our first brunch experience at this Scott restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant, receptionist seemed to be lost and not used to or not ready for big groups. After seating, servers have to be called and to be reminded for drinks. No forks on the table!? Tables for foods were messy. Not much choices for desserts. We can only rate Fair for our brunch experience at this Scott restaurant."

"The Mother's Day brunch was poorly executed. Food was cold, trays not replenished and the variety was quite limited. As a seafood restaurant one would have expected a few more seafood offerings. The foods were laid out in a very akward arrangement. As it became closer to the 2 pm time that the brunch was to be over, many food items were not available. I was served the last scraps from the prime rib and the dessert rays were limited to one item and scraps of fruit. .
The staff started cleaning up almost immediately at the 2 pm time; moving tables, food stations etc.
The back area wheer we were seated was hot and lacked any of the character of the front area."

"Food was good. We had the Filet Mignon and Shallot Special. The presentation was excellent. Kids ordered cheese burgers which came in the form of 2 sliders with thin fries and carrots. They liked it.
The restaurant was noisy because of the hard floors and wooden tables with no sound deadening. Our waitress was good but I think due to the numbers of waiters with respect to the no of people, service was very slow. I saw our waitress even dealing with guests outside the restaurant. It took about 15 min for the bread to come to our table and the about 45 min for the food after we ordered.
I thought the markup for a wine bottle was too much. About 4 times the retail price at a grocery store.."

"We went to the Mountain View Scott's in hopes that they had the same Ahi Tuna appetizer as the Scott's in Palo Alto. They did! The fish is delicious and the sauce that comes with it is to die for. We also had the seafood saute which was wonderful!! I live just down the street and I'm very choosy about my fresh seafood. I was really pleased with Scott's. I would request that they adopt the same main course Seared Ahi Tuna dinner as they do at the Palo Alto restaurant - with the wasabi mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach and mushrooms - it's a wonderful dish.... That would bring me in probably once a week to order that instead of having to go to Palo Alto. I'm also looking forward to trying Scott's Happy Hour..."

"I've had the Prawn sandwich before and it was delicious. Last time I tried the Seared Ahi salad. Not being a real fish person I have to say it was very delicious. The people I went with enjoyed the Bay Shrimp salad. I had the vanilla bean creme brulee for dessert. YUM!"

"I have been to this location of Scotts many times. I liked it when they called it the Cantankerous Fish, but can't see any difference really. The fish is outstanding, fresh and well prepared. The sides enhance rather than overpower, and the preparations are interesting and varied."

"We hadn't been to Cantankerous Fish (now renamed Scotts Sea Food) for maybe 6 months. We used to love the food at this restaurant but last night the food was pretty so-so. Fish was dry (very overcooked) and the sauce on the Scotts Sea Bass just wasn't the same. Less flavor. What happened. Did you change the chef when you changed the name. We don't think we would bring our celebration here again. Sorry to see a good restaurant go."

"The service is friendly but seemed a bit rough the Saturday night we went. We went before the 8 pm show with a 6:45 reservation. We ordered two drinks, two salads and a salad and appetizer to split. When the appetizer still hadn't arrived 15 min before the show, we were worried. The manager brought it to us immediately and didn't charge us for it. I think there are some kinks to work out. But they certainly owned the problem and made it up to us in the bill."

"Food was very good. Our waiter was alright up until we needed to get the check. We sat for at least 15 minutes for him. All the tables around us were cleared and the restaurant was slowing down. We finally flagged him down and got us our check. We were never offered dessert. I would go back as our dishes were very good. Hoping for a better service experience next time."

"We took a friend here to celebrate her birthday on a Saturday. Was a little nervous about it since I had seen some rather mixed reviews. Based on all 3 dinners and the service, I would not hesitate to recommend it or go again. Everyone had something different. Hubby said that the mushroom ravs were the best he'd ever had & were topped with large shrimp. Birthday girl had bacon wrapped scallops & raved about them although for the price I thought there should have been 5 of them rather than 4. My trout topped with crab was so good and not full of those little bones that are so often in trout. Service was good too."

"We were pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the entrees were. The fish was not bland, as they know how to use brown butter on the panko crusted sole! The crab, shrimp, scallop sauté was perfectly cooked and my husband liked that there were no shells to deal with. The bread dipped in the sauce was heavenly.
We are going back to try new things!"

"The salmon special was delicious. The ability to swap out fish for tofu was a very welcome feature for one of our vegan diners. Our salads were large and lightly dressed. The wait staff was accommodating with an ice bucket for a bottle of champagne that we brought for a birthday celebration. All in all, a nice evening."

"We have eaten is more than one Scott's seafood. We visit the one in Orange County frequently. S when we got hungry and didn't know where to go for dinner since we are not from the area we checked Open Table and were delighted when we found Scott's. I had the roast chicken and substituted the risotto for the mashed potatoes. My dinner companion had the crab cakes and clam chowder. The food was great. The bottle of wine completed a great dinner. The service could not have been better!"

"We all had a tuna niscoise salad. You needed a magnifying glass to see the amount of tuna. Was not expecting a hunk of tuna but two little tuna strips was a little miserable. Otherwise salad was decent and ingredients were fresh."

"Our waitress was friendly, helpful and knew the menu which I appreciate. The hostess was very nice and accomodating as well. I enjoyed our meal here.
The manilla clams appetizer was tender and delicious. The sourdough bread would have been better served warm. Our fish entrees were cooked perfectly."

"We enjoyed our meals very much - love the baked brie appetizer. Mahi mahi was excellent. Shrimp fried rice was more like a mu shu, but great. Swordfish special was a bit skinny. Used to seeing a nice thick steak from 'other' fish restaurants. This was not. Great service, great booth. Have eaten outside on summer evenings and lunches before - love it."

We sat at the bar and was not even acknowledged for over five minutes. We were seated for dinner prior to having our drinks served. The bar was understaffed."

"The waitress made herself scarce for over a 30 minutes and then showed up to say our meal was mistakenly given to someone else. She promised a free desert then forgot to take it off the bill. When we asked, she revised the bill and then made another mistake. She got it right the 3rd time. She was pleasant and polite but just couldn't get it right.
Scott's has great seafood, go to the Palo Alto or San Jose restaurants. Mt. View hasn't got it figured out yet."

"Been going to Scott's Seafood in San Jose for the past 20 years. We have also dined at
the Mt. View loacation several times. Always very fresh, although the entrees in Mt. View
are about $5 below the San Jose location. You pay for ambiance. The views from the 6th floor in San Jose overlook downtown. You can dine outside at both locations. One of our favorite restaurants!"
