The Scene
From the moment you walk up the palm-tree-lined walkway, you'll be transported to Palm Beach. The open dining room, in soft pastels and enclosed by glass walls, only adds to the "Miami Vice" vibe. The well-dressed, suburban crowd, however, brings you back to Costa Mesa.
The Food
Although the kitchen does pleasing renditions of meat and pasta dishes, it's the impressive selection of seafood that draws devoted diners to Scott's. Start with the jumbo shrimp cocktail, four mammoth shrimp served over a delicately spiced gazpacho, or the crisp house Caesar. For entrees, the baked, Chilean sea-bass sake kasuzuke, an Asian-inspired concoction, literally melts in the mouth. Citrus, bourbon salmon also shines, with just a hint of sweet orange flavor that doesn't overpower the tender fish. For dessert, there's a light and fluffy chocolate souffle, but the berry-bedecked creme brulee is especially good.

This seafood restaurant if of the white linen and bread crumb removal type. You can definately splurge at this place. The quality of the seafood depends on the catch so ask for recommendations and you won't go wrong.

A friend and I went to Scott's after work and really enjoyed the food and drinks. We sat at the bar - the bartender was quick with our drinks and gave great recommendations on food. We enjoyed our calamari and shrimp, along with the new concoctions the bartender made for us. Prices are steep but worth it. Lots of parking in the underground garage.

I just came from Scott's where I enjoyed a delicious filet mignon that literally melted in my mouth. Our waitress was excellent; very professional and friendly. The menu features mostly seafood, a couple of beef choices and one chicken choice. Everything at our table was attractively presented and delicious. This is a very nice restaurant to enjoy a meal after a show at the OC Performing Arts Center.
