Highly recommended Food was fantastic Service was fantasticAtmosphere old school and lovely Nestled on the north end of Highwood's restaurant row on Sheridan road you couldn't ask for a nicer dining experience A bit pricey BUT don't let that stop you as the old saying goes ; You get what you pay for From appetizers which we had the calamari to the main course , I had the Francesco salmon , like I said food was amazing and let's not forget the dessert which was oh so good. I had a taste of both coconut cake and key lime pie. This was a wonderful family event and we look forward to our next visit Thanks guys !

Always consistently solid. The entrees hit the mark. Their pizza is maybe the weakest link but other entrees are great.

I really like this place. Seated immediately for a 5pm Sunday reservation, we were greeted by a wonderful server who never disappointed. Orders taken promptly, drinks refilled and questions answered. The food was delicious, from fish to steak to burger(a tad slow receiving our food but that really wasn't a problem and it happens in most restaurants we've visited recently). Scotty's is relatively small and filled up quickly with what seemed like regulars, and the noise level increased as well...but that's to be expected in a friendly neighborhood joint. We've been disappointed by a couple of other restaurants in Highwood but recommend this one without question.

We arrived a little after 5:00 PM. They just opened. We had no reservation and chose to sit at the bar. The early crowd appeared to be the Seniors who were all to familiar with Scotty. Warm wishes of HNY and conversations were everywhere. The bar service was excellent. We enjoyed a wedge salad which was divided and chopped (delicious). Next we shared a pizza. Cooked perfectly, topped with spinach. The pizza is thin and crispy. Desert was a warm brownie a-la mode with walnuts and cinnamon. You wouldn't think much, seeing this place from the road. Scotty's sits in the middle of a strip mall. The interior however, is cozy, quiet, with just enough light. The Wine and Spirits terrific. Bonus: The wine is a generous pour. We will definitely be back. Well done Scotty.

We are from out of state and had the most wonderful experience at Scottie's! The bar was so cozy to begin our evening with and the dining room equally wonderful. The service was warm and welcoming; everyone! We took our servers suggestions for ordering our food and she was spot on! Delicious with a beautiful presentation. I imagine we couldn't have gone wrong no matter what we ordered because it all looked amazing. I highly recommend Scottie's!

Another great Bleu cheese burger! But the raves go to their Creme Burlee w/ fruit. THE best dessert! Wait time for take out on a Saturday night was quick & place was packed. Thank you!

We've come here several times over the years, always sitting in the stylish and comfortable bar. The service and food are consistently excellent. On this visit we started with cocktails, which are always perfectly made. The bread and giardiniera go well with anything! We also ordered a bottle of Cabernet for dinner. The very cool, yet unassuming host, Scotty makes sure that everyone is well attended to. He has the respect of his staff as well as the patrons, who primarily consist of happy regulars. All staff members are professional and helpful. My husband started with a very good Clam Chowder. I chose the salad special of greens, dried cherries, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese and vinaigrette dressing. I would be happy having that salad every day!I was glad to have a choice of two sizes of the Filet entrée and picked the 4 oz size. I still had leftovers! The filet, mashed potatoes and green beans almandine were all excellent!The ribs here are always a favorite and one of us usually has to order them, sometimes for takeout - from the Vernon Hills location which is closer to home. We wish we lived closer!

We tried this place food was ok except my wife's hamburger was way undercooked she asked for medium and it was rare to raw in parts The drinks they don't really seem to know how to mix drinks again my wife's Bloody Mary tasted like spicy vodka not enough tomato it was bad

Went to Scotty's for first time on our date night out based on reviews and recommendations. It did not disappoint. Food, drinks, service and ambiance were all terrific. Great variety on the entrees. My wife had one of the house chicken dishes and I went with a Mahi Mahi with blackened shrimp special. Delicious!! Appetizers and desserts also superb. Will for sure return for another nice evening.

We moved nearby three years ago and frankly, we rarely go anywhere else!!! I'm embarrassed to say we order takeout or eat at Scotty's probably four to six times a month - maybe more. Great food, drinks, amazing staff, and really nice group of regulars make it so welcoming and fun. Okay, now please disregard this review so we have a seat at the bar when we go. LOL
