Scott's (20 Mount Street, London, W1K 2HE) I first went to Scotts YEARS ago, I seem to recall they had a tacky waterfall in the middle of the restaurant which reached down to the bar…I could have been hallucinating of course it was the 90's… Anyway, revamped Scotts is a very nice place and ticks most of my boxes, so I have had a couple of visits recently. I love the central bar where you can pop in and sit and eat, particularly if you're in the local area but didn't think to book ahead for a table. It reminded me a bit of Cecconi's. Not tested during busy times though. On my last visit I had the ham starter which was absolutely fab, I had a similar dish in my local Italian this weekend and was soooo disappointed…it wasn't a patch on the Scott's version (but of course was a 3rd the price, you get what you pay for!) The food isn't as memorable as some places, but no major complaints. Service was efficient and pleasant, decor is pleasing, atmosphere nice and comfy. I seem to spot a famous face whenever I visit too, which somehow makes you feel you got value for money!! I like it..I'll go again…
