Food was great, service was amazing! Great atmosphere too. Will definitely go again! Would be a great restaurant for any occasion or simply just to have a great meal.

My favorite restaurant in Sac! Celebrated hubby’s birthday & ordered calamari for starters (best in the west) & for our entree we both had the macadamia crusted halibut… delicious! Birthday boy ate all of his, but the portions were more than enough for me so I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day. We capped it off with dessert — his was comped & quickly inhaled. I ordered the ricotta cheesecake, but opted to take it home & save it for a midnight snack. YUM!!! I love everything about Scott’s❣️

My family and I had a graduation celebration lunch at Scott’s and we all loved it. The food was delicious and very fresh. I especially loved the Pacific Rim salad with grilled chicken and the Apple Cobbler was a big winner. The dining room, the dining patio, the bar, and the entry lounge are all nicely designed. The environs and the view through the wall of windows are lovely. During our meal, the manager stopped by our table to check on everything for us. I thought the prices were also reasonable for an upscale dining experience. If I am in Sacramento again, I would definitely make a point of dining here again.

Food was delicious. Lexi, our server, was the Greatest. Beautiful with Great personality. It was a Busy Saturday evening but she was always checking in on us.

Love this place. Seafood is fresh, oysters are great, and something on menu for everyone. I’m a big eater and always get a to go box large portions. Breakfast is also top notch. Drinks are strong and made right.

And Here’s What’s Happening

Time to Rebuild

“With temperatures easing, the patio is the place to be. Long lunches on warm afternoons, delta breezes in the evening, beautiful sunsets, can’t ask for more. It’s perfect!”

…Welcome Back…

“We have some surprises in store, and we may be opening up the dock. The Westin has applied for all of the needed permits and have been putting the elevators in order.”

The Good, The Bad, The Parking

“Thank you so much everyone for being so patient with us and coming out during these difficult 17 months. It means the world to us! Also we just found out that self parking is open!”

The Cost of Being a Good Corporate Citizen

“We’re still here aren’t we? Still rolling with the punches, still upright and plugging away every day. Still trying to serve the best food, the best beverages and the best service. Our incredible staff just shrug it off, keep doing what they do, doing the best they can to make ends meet, which sometimes is far from easy.”
