We had heard good things about this restaurant and were excited to try it. However, we were severely disappointed. My wife ordered the snapper and I ordered the stuffed shrimp. The snapper looked unappealing and tasted like it looked, It was quite bland and had no chef’s touch of sauces or spicing. No garnish, nothing, just a small piece of tasteless fish. My stuffed shrimp was described as three shrimp cakes. What was served was three round ping pong ball sized items with the consistency of tuna salad with a small shrimp poked in the middle with the tail still on. The vegetable was three 1/8th inch slices of zucchini and a slice of tomato, and the starch was a small scoop of mashed potatoes. No baked potato or roasted potatoes available. The house salad was quite small, and was mostly lettuce with one slice of cucumber. For a $130 bill plus tip we expected a bit more, both in portion size and especially in taste. The waitress and décor were pleasant, but the food was seriously lacking. There was a large group of about 25 that night, which seemed to stretch their resources, but that is no excuse for a restaurant representing itself as fine dining and charging fine dining prices to serve anything less fine dinners. With so many positive reviews we’d normally be tempted to give them a second chance, but it was so bad the only way we’d go back would be if we found coupons for free dinners, then we might try again. But, of course, they don’t exist. We agree with the ratings for atmosphere and service, but for food and value? Certainly not our experience.

Our favorite resteraunt in Brevard County. Food is always fantastic, atmosphere is festive, and service is top notch. Have eaten here a dozen times and never disappointed.

Ok, look-Scott rocks!! This place has a flare to be reckoned with! Great food and a pepper shaker that could hurt someone! LOL Every dish was amazing and made to order. The decor was colorful and had a cute date night ambiance! I believe Scott came to us from Rome and brought all his experience with him. I would stop by here today!!

We went for a big celebration and it was a great choice. The service was spot on and attentive. The food was so flavorful and delicious. Simple, but really well done. They had some bread and butter dishes and some more creative ones.

The staff, food and ambiance is 15 out of 10 every single time.
Last night (Valentines Day) was our first visit to Scotts. We just moved here from Charleston, SC and I was worried I would have difficulty filling the "food void". Scott's definitely did not disappoint. The small, eclectic feel was exactly what we needed. No big stuffy chain place here. Our server, Brittney, was a peach! The food is made with love, and you can taste it in every bite. I think we may have been the only people there that were "newbies". It was very obvious, with watching Scott & his staff interact with everyone, why they are so loved. Seriously, who see's the chef come out to the tables to talk with their patrons anymore? Making great food is difficult, having a loyal following is priceless. We will be back again, and again.Sam & Annie

Scott's on Fifth is an absolute gem in the world of fine dining. From the moment we walked in, the sophisticated ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Our server, George, was nothing short of excellent—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring our dining experience was impeccable. The menu offered a delectable array of culinary delights, each dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavors. The attention to detail, both in service and presentation, reflected a commitment to excellence. Scott's on Fifth has truly mastered the art of fine dining, and our evening was a delightful symphony of flavors and exceptional service. A definite five-star experience that leaves us eager to return for more.

our server had an encyclopedic knowledge of the considerable number of dishes they offered. likewise, the visit from the owner/chef who personally handled our reservation was uplifting as you could tell he was talented but still had the desire for you to have a good meal. BTW don't throw out the leftovers, they heat up really well at a later time
