    We were unaware that the menu was "buffet only". I looked at the website several times & did not notice this ever mentioned. We are both on a strict diet and would never have made reservations for a buffet due to our diet limitations. The food was good but $250.00 is quite high since we were unable to participate in most of the foods being offered.

    It was Easter Sunday and it was a buffet. Caught me off guard. The food was pretty good overall. It was very busy and loud inside. I'll be back though. I like their food and will return for their regular menu.

    The per person charge doubled and is now $90 per person! Quite a shock when we received the bill which I expected to be perhaps a little higher than previous years around $45-$50 but not 90!

    Absolutely loved our time at Scott's Seafood. I requested outside seating to overlook the river for my boyfriends birthday and got exactly that. The server was great and food amazing! The coffee and dessert topped off the evening, can't wait to go back.

    I ordered a New York Strip steak and got slices of roast beef hidden by a gravy and mushrooms. It was cooked well-done instead of my requested "medium" and had massive amounts of unchew-able gristle. I do not send things back because it would ruin the evening for my wife and make her uncomfortable, not knowing what to do with her seafood, with her only choices being to eat without me, or to have her seafood destroyed by sitting under heat lamps until mine was re-done. I have no idea what I was served.

    Adjacent to the Sacramento River and part of the Westin Hotel, its an incredible venue for special occasions. The food and service were great.....and the I couldn't ask for a better experience for my Mother's 91st Birthday!!! At the conclusion of the meal, they gave my mother a bottle of Champagne to take home, which was extremely thoughtful.
