Scott's Downtown

Went for our 20th anniversary dinner, and I thought this was a fabulous restaurant. The service was wonderful, the drinks were tasty, and the food was wonderful. My husband had the tenderloin meal and I had the scallop special. We also had the baked avocado appetizer which was really great. I highly recommend the dessert sampler. So yummy!

Booked a last minute eat after a long day at lake Lanier. Food didn’t really live up to my expectations especially for the price point. I got the PRIME Filet (med-rare) with 3 sides. The filet was very dry but also overcooked to medium plus. Would’ve also preferred a better crust on it rather then sprinkling the seasonings on top. With it being advertised as Prime should be at least somewhat juicy/flavorful but I definitely felt like it was choice grade. Sides were pretty basic as I got mushrooms in this soy sauce based sauce. Asparagus was up to par but I wasn’t really a fan of the shaved Brussels. They didn’t really have any taste. For appetizers we got the crab dip which was not hot at all, actually really cold sadly. There’s not much blue crab in there at all. The crackers that came with them were stale. Overall, food was alright but not for the price point.

Most importantly all of the food was too salty. I ordered the filet medium and it came out well done. No pink at all. Others at the table got surf and turf, salmon, and other meals. All too salty. And I happen to really like salt, so that’s saying a lot. Our server started out kind, then kept interrupting us and became increasingly rude throughout the meal. She overcharged me for a beverage then when I mentioned it to her she argued with me and told me she wouldn’t take the $2 charge off (even though I was spending over $75 per person). They added gratuity with only 7 adults present without informing us at all prior or when the check came. Ambiance amazing. We happened to get a rude server and over salted over done small portions. :/ won’t be returning or recommending.

This is my favorite restaurant Took my wife out on a date night 🍾🥂Scott took the time to make sure you’re enjoying yourself, genuinely concerned of your dining experience. The staff is the epitome of class & service. I recommend Scott’s to anyone looking to spend quality time with loved ones and enjoy a great meal definitely this restaurant is a game changer in the restaurant business

One easy word to describe Scott's Downtown. Fabulous. Have been contemplating dinner here for a while and decided to dine here last night. Had a reservation at 7 pm. Party of 4 arrived on time and we're promptly seated. Our sever was attentive and informative.We had appetizers and drinks. Both excellent. I had the ribeye, my wife the bourbon salmon, and our friends filets. All were cooked to perfection. The Italian lemon cake was delicious. Spent about 2.5 hours and about $400 dollars. Worth every penny. Will definitely be back.

Got the food wrong for the whole party, then when they brought the corrected food it was 100% the wrong item again. It was frustrating to wait multiple times so I left with out eating. From what we got the food was good the manager was nice about it and tried to correct the issue but the mess up was just too much to overlook. They explained the bartender has a lot on his mind but if I’m paying $40 per plate maybe they should have that person take the day if he can’t do his job. Do better… Response to owner: I chose not to eat because I had my one year old daughter with me and she can’t sit for 2 hours and wait because you can’t staff your restaurant properly, I appreciate the effort to make it right there was just no excuse for the amount of mishaps on your part. Sorry.

We were visiting Gainesville for the evening and Scott’s was recommended! We left after our dinner very disappointed on several levels. I ordered bourbon/ coke/lime /bitters! 1) No bourbon was put in my drink-none! Bartender admitted that he was unaware that bourbon was ordered and he made it with just coke, lime and bitters. If my husband wouldn’t have mentioned it to the waitress we would have been charged for a cocktail. 2) filet mignon ordered cooked medium came to the table well done. It was replaced with a lengthy wait. No new hot sides to replace the cold ones initially served. No bread on the table??? Waitress was lovely and apologized but no concessions were offered for the faux pas of the evening of below standard customer service. It was not that the restaurant was very busy and had several empty tables. Very disappointed overall! Our mistake was not asking to talk to the manager!
