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!

Kimmy and I stop by for lunch. Provided sunny spot on patio. Enjoyed grilled octopus and spring salad. When in jack London square highly recommend stopping by Scott's seafood. Kimmy gives two paws up.

The waitress we're unprofessional, the manager she was very unprofessional, she was rude, she kept rushing us. She kept coming back to the table. They kept asking questions they would not allow us to sit and an enjoy our self. Food was delicious 😋 service was unprofessional.

Scott’s Seafood gave us an experience we will never forget. I had the filet mignon plate and the oyster plate, and both were standouts in their own way. The oysters were incredibly fresh, with a clean, briny flavor that tasted like the ocean itself. The presentation was appealing, and they paired wonderfully with the accompaniments—whether it was the traditional mignonette or a hint of lemon. If you’re a fan of oysters, Scott’s definitely delivers on quality and freshness. As for the filet mignon, it was cooked to perfection, with a nice sear on the outside and a tender, juicy interior. The steak was well-seasoned, and each bite had that melt-in-your-mouth texture you’d hope for in a well-prepared filet. It was accompanied by sides that complemented the dish without overshadowing the main event. Overall, Scott’s Seafood impressed with both their seafood and steak offerings, making it a great spot whether you’re craving something from the sea or land. The ambiance and service also added to the experience, making it a place I’d return to for another memorable meal.

We came here for lunch on a Friday. We had a really big group, and they were able to set us up on the patio. This is definitely one of those places where you're paying in part for the view of the waterfront. The food was definitely good as well, everything was just $5-10 more than it should have been. I did note they have a stated dress code, they didn't enforce it with us so it might more apply for dinner? If I was in Jack London Square again I would definitely consider eating here if I was in the mood for seafood.
