Scott's Seafood

Always amazing food and friendly service... I'm always trying to find a great restaurant to take clients to for dinner.

I was honestly pleasantly surprised by Scott's Seafood in Jack London. A staple to the area, I've recently been to a gala event at their event center (located right behind the restaurant), but never truly ate here. We had our prom dinner at the Walnut Creek location years ago, I won't mention how many, but finally the time arrived to sit down and break bread at the JL location.Located right on the water, Scott's is actually very vibrant inside. Around Sunday at brunch time there was a pianist keeping things lively, and on a cold & breezy day, we enjoyed sitting inside getting warm and toasty with the family. I do want to mention that this is not a budget friendly spot, and we were here for something special, so do note the prices beforehand.Fresh sourdough bread and butter for the table (a few baskets) were devoured, and our group ordered bowls of the Boston Clam Chowder (would order the bowl for the price, the cup is tiny), the Seafood Salad, Chicken Piccata, and a Cajun Pasta. All dishes were solid, fresh, and comforting. The chowder is creamy and filling, chicken came with mashed potatoes and green beans/carrots, the pasta with ample pieces of sausage and seasoning, and the salad with a beautiful display of prawns, bay shrimp, Dungeness crab, and more.Wait staff was quick and efficient, and knows the ropes working with larger parties. On a day with better weather, sitting outdoors enjoying the views during happy hour would probably be most enjoyable. I didn't get to view the entire restaurant, but extremely spacious and a beautiful bar to saddle up to. Not sure if and when we will be back, but will always have love to Jack London and bringing a bit of zest back to this area.

The food, the ambiance- its like being on a cruise liner inside- chic wood. The patio is beautiful winter or summer. But the part that brings me back every time is the attention to detail on every plate- the jumbo shrimp, the lobster, the oysters!! If you like salmon- this is the place! The salads- so many!And then the desserts! My husband says that the margaritas are divine too.Down to the fresh sour dough bread and the chilled butter- it's so rich that it tastes like a fine cheese.This place is the last epitome of "The Rat Pack".Prices are incredibly reasonable- less than Ruth Chris and portions are twice the size. I always have a meal left for the next day too.

Our server/waitress was very good. Friendly, Professional, she made sure our needs were met.Did this all while smiling on the busiest night at the restaurant

My husband and I have been here several times over the last few years, and unfortunately, it consistently misses the mark. The interior is lovely, and the restaurant has a beautiful water view and patio, but the food falls short and is overpriced. We decided to give Scott's another shot this weekend because they added a jazz brunch, and we were curious. We got the crab cake Benedict and the crab and shrimp omelette. The Benedict was good, but they subbed scallops into the omelette instead of crab without informing us. The omelette was still good. We probably would have ordered a scallop and shrimp omelette, but it's not great that they subbed in a cheaper ingredient and didn't seem to consider that someone could have an allergy. I will probably not come here again, but if you're looking for a somewhat mid century white tablecloth vibe, live piano music, and a water view, this could be a decent option.

The food at Scott's was amazing and so fresh. Starting with the Spanish octopus for the appetizer, it was SO flavorful. The octopus is braised for a few days then grilled and fried giving it the best texture on the outside while keeping it moist and chewy in the inside. The sauce is incredible too. The entrees I ordered were linguini and clams and the lobster stuff ravioli with lobster sauce. Both were excellent and had ample amount of fresh clams/lobster for each bite. Even the complimentary sourdough bread served at the beginning of the meal was so so good. I went mid-week around 3pm and sat outside with no one else around. It was perfect! Highly recommend this place if you enjoy seafood.

The place, the ambience the food, the drinks and service was and always is amazing!! I enjoyed my birthday here and was treated like a Queen. I'm looking forward to coming again real soon!

I haven't written a review in over a year but wanted to quickly write about what a great birthday celebration we had here with my mom over the weekend. We had planned on having lunch in SF but last minute decided to do it in the East Bay. I spent all night looking at restaurants and booked reservations here and I'm so glad we did!Service here is great! We had the friendliest and most attentive server. We had drinks and complimentary beignets on our table that my mom loved so much we ended up getting a second plate of them! We ordered the oysters rockefeller, crab and avocado salad, southern soft shell crab breakfast, linguine and clams, and the cioppino. I rarely get cioppino because its often not that good but I kept fighting my husband for more bites of his! I think its one of the best I've ever had and its served with the best garlic bread ever which we ordered seconds of. Every single dish was delicious. Highly recommend reservations so you can get a seat by the water. We saw there was a free ferry right across from the restaurant so we hopped on it after to go to Alameda and it was so fun! Also loved the live music they had on the piano. I saw a bunch of people dancing to it! They're having their 50th anniversary right now for the next few months and it looks like they have a bunch of specials. Already can't wait to come back! Thank you again for such a wonderful birthday celebration for my mom!

My dinner companion and I had a wonder lunch at Scott's. It was her recommendation to go and since I'm not from the area, I didn't know what to expect. I arrived early and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding scenery. Pics shared. The menu had a lot of selections that I was interested in trying but I settled on a couple of things (1) the crab and avocado salad and (2) the crab stuffed salmon. Both were pretty to look at and were both deliciously satisfying. My companion enjoyed her Blackened Catfish as well. The service was also great. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place for dining if you enjoy fresh and creative seafood dishes.

Nice place for anniversaries!We absolutely come here again!!*Food*Calamari-- it goes well with alcohol;)Crab stuffed salmon with lobster sauce--Highly recommended for salmon lovers! My husband and I love salmon and order it often, but this was the best we've had recently. Spicy Cactus-- I ordered it because the name sounded interesting. It was spicy and tasty!*Service*We visited here on my birthday, and the service was wonderful, with surprises like a rose flower, photo shooting, and ice cream served after the meal.*Ambiance*The view from the restaurant was nice and we could see the San Francisco buildings!
