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 .

Celebrated NYE at Scott’s having their flash fried octopus, seafood pasta, and lobster stuffed ravioli with a special holiday bourbon cocktail. Everything was tasty to delicious, service is a real class act, and the atmosphere is like being lost in a painting. I don’t need to reccomend Scott’s it’s a staple here in Oakland, one of the few operations keeping JLS alive, but I can’t reccomend them enough.

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.

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.

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!!

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

Had a great experience eating at Scott’s. Great view of West Alameda and the water. Food was excellent, I really enjoyed the sword fish and shrimp appetizers. Some one in our group had steak and they said it was good as well.
