Item was charged when we did not order it. Saw my server twice and that was it. Never had water refilled. Sure we could have asked someone, but why should we? Even though the manager took care of the bill issue, which was great, it was still disappointing that our server just vanished. I later saw him tend to a larger party. Very disappointing and the experience made us feel like we did not matter. A shame because it was my mother's bday dinner and I came all the way from Charleston, SC and specifically chose this place because I had the most amazing experience there as a teenager with my parents. This place is not cheap, so it was very disappointing that we had the experience that we did.

Excellent seafood, always super fresh and cooked perfectly. Limited wine selection by the glass and a bit pricey (most $15-$17 per glass). The garlic mashed potatoes are yummy and their New England clam chowder delicious .

Incredibly overpriced for uninspired seafood that offers a view of the bus stop.
All three entrees and both appetizers were undeniably bland and flavorless. The clam chowder was good but none of the food was worth the explosive diarrhea I just had.
And for gods sake if you’re gonna over salt EVERYTHING please make sure the wait staff is keeping the water glasses full and not just disappearing constantly.

As with many long established restaurants in San Jose this is another sad example of one that is no longer the place for reliable service & food. My companion & I were the only ones in the front part of the restaurant where the bar is but it was obvious there was a large group in back. We were seated straight away & ordered fairly quickly. My clam chowder was served less than warm my companion enjoyed her salad. Unfortunately no one checked on us & we saw no one until my salad came out along with my companions prawns with peanut dipping sauce. They brought me another bowl of soup & this time it had no taste at all, my companion thought it tasted like dish water had been mixed in. In all my many, many years of eating clam chowder at Scott’s going all the way back to the 1980’s this was the first time the soup let me down. Sadly my companion didn’t enjoy her prawns as no peanut dipping sauce was served. It was a weird bland tasting liquidy green sauce. The restaurant was kind enough to remove the charge for the soup.

Had a family dinner with eleven reserved in advance. We were treated very well with excellent service and attention to detail. I would recommend Scott's to everyone.

Had dinner before a show on a Saturday night. Mediocre food and amateur service at a premium price. Wouldn't have bothered with a review if it weren't for the scammy 5.5% service charge.

There were 6 in our party. Each of us ordered a different entree. All of us were extremely satisfied with the way our meal was presented and how it tasted.
Great food. Friendly service and good drinks. Prices are a little bit high, but other than that it was a great dinner.

The shrimp risotto was delicious!  Also the fried prawns were amazing. The manager was top-notch, professional, and kind and so was the waiter. We will definitely be back.

We had come for the paella but needed a pork free dish and it had chorizo in it so we asked for the waiter's recommendation and it was the cioppino and it was delicious and a good portion size.

Super props to Scott's for seeing that I checked the "birthday" box on my reservation and bringing me a delicious treat! Great food and great service!

Wow! Scott's Seafood in San Jose exceeded all expectations. My recent visit was simply stellar. I started with a salad and calamari which were incredibly tender in a light, flavorful sauce – a perfect start. For my main, I chose the 10 Oz filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection, juicy and delicious. Beyond the incredible food, the service was impeccable. Our server was genuinely friendly, incredibly efficient, and anticipated our needs without being intrusive. The atmosphere on the patio was lovely, adding to the overall enjoyment. If you're looking for an upscale yet welcoming seafood experience in San Jose, Scott's is an absolute must-try!
