Mrstock's Reviews

Two things to remember on your visit. First, the service is haphazard and has the potential to make your evening a disaster. Second, stay away from all the ‘specials’. They are lovely but priced at 50-75% more than the equivalent from the regular menu. They won't tell you that but you'll find out at the end of the meal.
Otherwise a thumbs up.

December 2011 revisit.
Having run the previous restaurant on this site into the ground, the owner is now destroying this one. It's not remotely as interesting as it was when it first opened. Avoid.

It is hard to keep standards up in these recessionary times as indeed those who frequent Gordon Ramsey's restaurants have found to their dismay. Unlike the Ramsey empire, Scott's is a one trick pony. It only needs to produce fresh fish dishes at a consistent level.

Unfortunately this is not always the case. I was fortunate enough to have an almost acceptable sea bass – well the fish seemed fresh but was swimming in a ‘soup’ of butter that pretty much nullified any real taste. Why does Scott's need to do this? Are they incapable of producing simple dishes? My partner had a DOver sole which she proclaimed was the Scott's signature dish. Again, it was swimming in butter. I took one bite, turned the rubbery morsel around in my mouth and proclaimed it to be cooked from frozen.

Can anybody corroborate that Scott's sells frozen fish at these fantastic mark ups?

The service is excellent.
