Scott's in City of London, Westminster

My wife and me have been to Scott's for lunch and or dinner over 140 times.Food is fantastic and service is out of this world. Great team.

Amazing food and great services. Love this restaurant…

Fabulous food, very attentive friendly staff and a very enjoyable experience

Very tasty food, Good service One of the best fish restaurants in London maybe the best

Absolutely great food and atmosphere. Highly recommended

A Delightful Lunch Experience I had a wonderful experience at Scott’s for lunch on Saturday, March 15, 2025. From the moment I arrived, the service was pleasant and welcoming, with a special shoutout to waiter Matt, who made the experience even more enjoyable. I opted to sit outside, where I could watch the world go by while enjoying the warm heater beside me. The outdoor seating had a lovely and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to unwind. For my first course, I had the eel, which came highly recommended. It was delicious, light, and full of flavor—a great start to the meal. For my main course, I chose the fresh fish & chips, and it did not disappoint. The fish was incredibly fresh and practically melted in my mouth, while the chips were perfectly crunchy, just how I like them. I decided to skip dessert but finished off my meal with a tasty cappuccino and a refreshing mint tea—a perfect way to end a great dining experience. Overall, Scott’s provided a relaxing ambiance, outstanding food, and warm hospitality. I truly felt welcomed and look forward to returning soon!

Great place for fish, little bit noisy though, and quite expensive. Still worth visiting. Food amazing!

Delicious seafood, no doubt the best in London

Awful food - very basic and the sole I had was full of bones. If you kissed the ivy with a Wetherspoons - that’s what this place is. The service was dire - asked to order food before even being asked what we would like to drink. Meals came out crazy different times.. 15 mins inbetween each of us getting our mains so some of take had finished whilst some hadn’t started. Waiter was inattentive and not friendly.

Fantastic food, great service, well worth a visit. Staff were great and extremely helpful.

Really good restaurant in the Mayfair area. The atmosphere is brutal... we went on a Monday and it was packed and super lively. The place is very cool. Eating everything very good. To snack we ordered French oysters that were luxurious, good quality. We also ordered the salmon tartare with avocado and it is another good option. For main courses we ordered the sea bass which was spectacular. The grilled salmon with vegetables was also exquisite and finally the smoked salmon which again was of very good quality. For dessert we ordered the cheese board, which comes in 3 types and a good quantity, recommended. The service is super good and attentive. Very professional. As for the quality-price ratio, it is not a cheap place by any means, but the raw materials and processing are of a high level, so it seems to me that it is in accordance. Our experience was pleasantly positive.

One of my go to places in London for some great seafood. What is even more impressive than the food is the service which pretty old school and highly attentive. 6 ⭐️ for the service.

It's definitely old school but it's really good. I love the grilled lobster. Usually busy for dinner but noise is absorbed by soft surfaces and you can carry on a conversation. Lot's of business parties can be found speaking in a variety of languages. Also, close to Mount Strre Restaurant above he Audley Public House and to Connaught (excellent bar) and for asian, Kai. We go at least once every time in London which is 4-5 times a year.

An excellent seafood restaurant

Excellent service , food is good as well masala shrimp weird but not bad

Great place with great staff and delicious food

Excellence everywhere: the welcome, the establishment itself, the service and on the plate. We took the octopus carpaccio & tuna and sea bass ceviche to share as well as the cod fillet & monkfish curry, the apple pie with custard to finish. Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, presented. Looking forward to coming back to try the rest of this menu which offers classics and more trendy dishes.

Excellent, service was very good considering how busy it was. The food was fantastic, a wonderful mix of dishes that were excellent in quality. If you love seafood places this is definitely one to experience

Just love it here. The choreography of the service is a joy to behold. Brilliant!

Nice spot for a business lunch, though at the pricey end

Wonderful atmosphere and service. The linguine with crab and the Pan-fried ray wing, potted shrimp and cucumber butter were exquisite. I want to come back here again.

Classic old fashioned London Restaurant. Great attentive service. The food was very good and the staff are excellent. One of my go to places to eat in London. It is not cheap and like many restaurants prices have gone up since Covid.

The Quality of the food is very high and the environment very friendly. Salmon was excellent, even the tartare. Same for lobsters. Waiters gave us time to discuss our business without being too much at the table.

This amazing place offers not only incredible food consistently, but also the perfect ambiance for a lazy lunch or evening meal with family. We love the counter dining as it gives a more immersive feel. The fish here is always plentiful and cooked to perfection. nothing better than sitting at the counter with a glass of wine from the incredible Sebastian and enjoying an amazing treat

Absolutely amazing dinner. We sat at the counter. It was fun people watching too. The food was delicious the waiters very attentive. It couldn’t have been better.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, fantastic wine!

Lovely place to dine in a beautiful street of London. Service was amazing and the seafood we ordered spectacular ! And we were in London and stop for dinner. It’s the best for us !

Went with four friends on a Thursday evening. The place was buzzing. Starters were delicious - my tempura prawns were gigantic and the batter very light and crispy. Four of us ordered the monkfish and prawn curry and when it arrived, before I had a chance to taste mine my friend complained that hers wasn't hot enough at which, without question, a swarm of waiters swooped on our table and removed all of our dishes. V impressive. Additionally, they took our desserts off the bill for the inconvenience... now that's what I call service!

Scott’s – A Pleasant Surprise I was pleasantly surprised by both the food and service at Scott’s. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the caviar and oysters, exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The attention to detail in both the food and overall experience made for a truly enjoyable evening. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to any seafood lover.

A goto place for amazing seafood. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the lobster Thermidor and the specially seared sea bass, both cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable—attentive, courteous, and always ready to guide us through the specials of the day. The only drawback was that the adjacent tables were a bit too close together. Otherwise, a fantastic experience!

One of the Mayfair classics. They have a pretty good genre, which, although not quite what you would find in Pescaderías Coruñesas, does not disappoint. Comparisons are hateful, but in this league of restaurants it is inevitable for me to think of places like Alabaster and O'Pazo, and in terms of product, Galician quality is simply better. The attention, yes, is impeccable. You can choose between dining at a table or at a bar, which is quite lively, by the way. They have very nice details, like there being a couple of Mercedes E class at the door with drivers waiting. Others are not so much. That they charge 8 pounds for six petit fours counted seems to border on bad taste, and is something absolutely unthinkable in Spain. Although it is substantially more expensive than similar restaurants in Madrid, for London it is not crazy.

One of the best seafood restaurant in London, excelent food and proffesional service with warm atmosphere.

Excellent food, Caviar is amazing, the seafood dishes were delicious.

One of life’s pleasures is sitting at the counter at Scott’s with a few tasty scallops and a glass of white Burgundy.

Wonderful. My favourite restaurant that never disappoints in my opinion. The quality of the food is exceptional with service to match. Fab

The food is always excellent (delicious prawn tempura and crab linguine), very good products, lovely decor, lovely atmosphere. Too bad to have removed the oyster tempuras from the menu. Still as expensive (but it is entirely possible to take 2 starters), especially the wines. Very friendly waitresses, but condescending butlers. Wine by the glass forgotten, and the bottle is not presented to you at the table to serve the glass of wine (expensive). As for cleaning, the tops of the dark red leather benches (along the walls) are white with dust. No doubt there was a shortage of dusters in London, necessary to adorn the hat of the Order of the Garter.

Have not looked, but suspect other reviews have mentioned that the acoustics are terrible and hard to hear across the table. I ordered the haddock, fish and chip style, and waiter said it was the best in London. The fish rested in the middle on the mushy peas, which were unpleasantly over-salted, and made that part of the fried fish soggy. The fish was good, but the next day I had better fish and chips at Heston's Perfectionist Cafe at Heathrow terminal 2 - it was superb / perfection. And much cheaper. I guess Heathrow is not in London, so maybe waiter is correct. Re service, at these prices there is no excuse for not refilling our water glasses, and after being given the dessert menu nobody came back and we had to ask 2 times to get our order taken.

Had a really lovely evening to celebrate a milestone birthday. Service and food exceptional. Lovely atmosphere. A special treat. Will definitely return. Oh and just a note on the Bakewell pudding. The BEST pudding I’ve ever had!!!!

This place is top class. My wife and I celebrated her 60th birthday with a meal here and it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Food was excellent, staff were first rate, in particular Serigne who made our day even more special. The atmosphere is buzzing as well. Not the cheapest place I’ve eaten but I’ll definitely be back.

It was a very delicious food and service at the Scott’s restaurant and we enjoyed our time there

London staple. You can’t go wrong with this place - go to place for seafood. I recommend fresh oysters and generally fresh seafood, Dover sole. Very fair pricing for the value and location.

Took a friend for her birthday, lovely restaurant, lobster and scallops were to die for!

Good Experience – Very busy the night we were there, so service was a little slow. Appetizers of caviar and octopus carpaccio were very good. Mains of lobster (recommend the full versus half portion) and Dover sole – very nicely done with a meuniere sauce. We skipped dessert.

My favourite London restaurant. Went here with friends and had amazing fish as always.

The service is always very good. One of the only professional places in London where waiting staff are fully trained. The food is good and the portions are filling. The menu could be more variant. Not many options for vegetarians or people who wants more vegetable in their food. I really recommend the monkfish and snail entree which comes with grilled Bonemarrow and rich enough to be a main if you’re not a big eater.

Good spot for Lunch and Dinner 👍🏻

Michelin star feeling! Great ambiance, top notch sea food. We lived all forms of shrimps and steak was soo delicious as well. Scallops were tender and wonderfully cooked. Great option for special occasions!

Perfect food and even more perfect and friendly service. 🥰 The terrace was cosy and warm with soft blankets and a warmer, it was a bit chilly in October.

Simply Scott's oozing chic. Food divine, wine exquisite. Service comme il faut! X

Excellent atmosphere and service. Enjoyed the Truffled cauliflower soup and Beetroot and ruby leaf salad for starters. Fillet of cod and half lobster for mains. Bakewell pudding and Paris-Brest for dessert. An excellent venue for a special occasion.

One of the best seafood restaurants in all of London.

Stunning ….. been many times but first time sitting at the Bar counter - our new fave seat location ! From arriving to leaving everyone were fabulous and soo attentive. Tomas our main chap was very entertaining and super professional. Definitely be back at the Bar !

My best business lunch was in Scott’s It’s embarrassing, Thanks Amani

Amazing service and scrumptious food. The atmosphere was vibrant and exciting. It's definitely the place to go to for a rich dining experience

Scott's as good as it gets. Don t miss this besteat in London. Pricey maybe for some places but for the quality of service , food and drinks reasonably happy to pay the bill.

A great place for dinner! My wife and I enjoyed the freshly prepared seafood, especially the grilled turbot. Delicious! The sommelier was very helpful too.

I recently dined at Scott's Mayfair and had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, making it perfect for a special occasion. The seafood was fresh and beautifully presented, and each dish was bursting with flavor. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch seafood in London.

Well a fine restaurant it certainly is with exceptional service, brilliant location and magnificent food. Thank you to all of you for a wonderful lunch, we will be back.

Love this place. Amazing atmosphere, fabulous food every time. Scott’s has a simple menu, fabulous fresh ingredients and great staff. The atmosphere is always buzzing lunch and dinner time. I will be back! Thanks again

Excellent service, consistent high quality food at market prices. One can get consistent high quality food ,these guys are professionals and have been around for long time and they are always very busy,Bravo to the staff and management

We had the octopus carpaccio which is extremely good value and the scallops were perfectly cooked with a lovely sauce. My favourite is the cheese soufflé it’s out of this world .. It is a romantic place for a date night ..

Great seafood Excellent service Cozy

Went with friends. Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Best we have had in a long time.

All good and thanks for the special staff who made our time at the restaurant very lovely.

Amazing seafood, on the pricey side but you know what you aee getting into and it was worth the pricd

Quite disappointed if I am honest. The service wasn't up to what we were expecting at all. This was our anniversary lunch on 14th July. We had a toss up between going to Daphne's again or Scott's and went with Scott's . I just felt that the lack of consistency was unexpected, we ended up with 3 or 4 different serving staff at various points of the evening...the guy who took the bill didnt even ask us if we had enjoyed our meal. As it turns out , not terribly . My lobster was good but my starters which was octopus carpaccio was overcome by oil and I couldn’t even taste the fish or its texture. We almost had to beg for bread. My vesper martini was very good. Wife enjoyed her monkfish curry and as I got to try some of it , I wish I had ordered the same myself....but her burrata starter was below par .

I had high expectations for this restaurant but was extremely disappointed when I found a hair on my fish plate. It was disgusting. The staff barely acknowledged the issue, offering no proper solution beyond a weak apology. For the price and reputation, I expected much better hygiene and service.

Nothing to dislike. Service and food both excellent and they manage to deliver them in a non stuffy but respectful way. Love Scotts

The food here was unequivocally delightful. I have found a new appreciation for seafood since attending this restaurant. The cod was so fresh and perfectly cooked, I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I also really enjoyed the ceviche served with plantain, the portion was very generous. The atmosphere at Scott's is very calm and elegant and the service was attentive and wonderful. I look forward to returning soon.

Great food and good ambiance, but they seem to wedge all the Americans in one corner and allow the Brit’s to sit all over the restaurant.

We had a special dinner my husband & me and it went very well experience. Thanks for you Scott’s staff for this amazing experience.

Had amazing lunch last min and they were just great fast and accommodating Great place for a lunch they have amazing seafood selection and a great house champagne

Great food even for vegetarians and service as well

Great sea food, and atmosphere definitely recommend it,

Excellent food and service! The sea bass was delicious!

🍽️Food: 5/5 🤵🏽‍♂️Service: 5/5 🪑Ambiance: 5/5 👨🏽‍⚖️Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📝Notes: Incredible Meal at Scott’s Mayfair! The seared scallops were delicious, and the yellowtail sashimi was incredibly fresh. Seared seabass with pilaf rice was beautifully done, and the Bakewell pudding was the perfect sweet finish. Flawless food and awesome service 🙌🏼🩵

It is a great place to eat good fish and seafood. The service is professional, fast and not intrusive. It is an expensive restaurant, in London we all know that the prices are not cheap, but for a celebration or special occasion, I definitely recommend it.

Exactly what you are expecting from a very high end restaurant in Mayfair

It is an expensive restaurant, but classic and elegant, which does not prevent the service from being very pleasant and friendly. Everything we tried was delicious.

Wow that was a memorable experience.

Such a wonderful venue, great food and attentive staff xx

A special gratitude to Mr. Lyall, & Mis, Lila for his distinguished service and his dedication in taking care of our table. The place itself is very much kind and welcoming you at the gate. I totally recommend it for people dose appreciate the service and have a god taste in food.

Amazing food and service. However, a bit cozy and noisy. Caviar & salmon 5/5

Loved this place. Food was exceptional. Champagne served, on point. Every dish was presented beautifully , quality was second to none and the taste. Wow! I savoured every bit, Well this was now my favourite place. The service was also good, however they are strict on time. Place is in Mayfair so was filled with spoilt wealthy people who know good food. What can I say. Special occasions kind of place and difficult to get a table at peak times.

You won't beat this restaurant ever !

Fantastic and very beautiful 🤩 Of course, the experience was lunch I highly recommend eating outdoors because the day is fun At night, of course The food is delicious, especially the seafood section 🤤🤞

First time dining in here. The foods are really well cooked and tasty. I would recommend deep-fried oyster for starter & dover sole meunier for main. And to finish it up with bakewell puding for dessert. On the downside, the table can be very near to each other and the waiters can be quite busy. Very recommended place to have lunch if you’re in London.

Terrible service and terrible food, it used to be our go to place but no longer the case until they offer their staff proper training.

Me and my partner went for food. Great service and we weren't disappointed by the service. George was very attentive will definitely be back, thank you so much for an amazing evening

All perfect and beautiful, thank you all and I look forward to seeing you someday

Busy and very noisy. If conversation is a preference, try a quiet time.

Very classy and elegant interiors located in a fabulous area at Knightsbridge. It is definitely pricey but the food was really good. Service was good but could be a tad better, maybe I didn't look wealthy enough to be there. Nonetheless, worth a try in this historic restaurant.

Our 3rd visit and we will be back next trip to London as well! My wife loved her salmon and the Dover sole was fantastic Service is spot on and we enjoyed all aspects of our meal

Food is fabulous. Service to solo diners disappointing. Had to ask for drinks, had to ask for service, wine ordered not delivered, feels like solo diners a nuisance. Not worth the expenditure if looking for great service. Also asked if fish was deboned etc and told yes but was not. Just little things that say we take you for granted. Food is awesome but you need to be prepared to be treated unfavourably for the experience

Nobody does it better. The finest seafood, the most immaculate service and a celebrity every day. The outside tables are the best.

Definitely the place to go if you want seafood in an upscale setting Best Dover Sole I have had in a very long time, along with great prawns,oysters and chocolate fondant Pricey but worth the experience

I needed to get a birthday reservation for Scott’s (October 2024) at a reasonable time. Telephoned Amex Concierge (24/09/2024) and apparently Scott’s isn’t on their preferred restaurant list 🤔 seriously!!! Rang Scott’s direct and Connie fully understood my predicament and ensured the birthday request was fulfilled. Having been to Scott’s previously a number of times I know the food will be amazing and I’m eternally grateful to Connie for accommodating my request. The best 👍🏻

Enjoyed lunch at this very traditional restaurant. The service was excellent after a bit of a slow start (which was made up for by a nice glass of champagne), and the food was very tasteful.

Excellent food and staff friendly and helpful. Only down side - being a Saturday night very busy and noisy. Service was quite slow too. Very difficult to hail a taxi.

Amazing food. Wonderful service. Probably the best meal we’ve had this year. Seafood heaven. Lovely setting. Perfect wine list and friendly atmosphere. We will return and obviously recommend.
