About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Serving Great-Tasting Food Since 1976

The Scott’s story began in 1976, with the opening of a simple gracious seafood dinner house in the Marina District of San Francisco. Its phenomenal success led to the opening of a new establishment in the heart of down town San Jose. From the moment it opened, Scott’s captured the best of a growing tradition presenting the finest seafood classically prepared in light, crisp, friendly surroundings.

Scott’s Seafood has been a San Jose tradition for over 40 years, with an emphasis on sustainable, healthy food options. Scott’s Seafood has won the People’s Choice Award for its Boston Style Clam Chowder several years running, reaffirming the consideration that goes in to crafting each meal.

Many of our staff members have been with the company for decades, and even have roots to the original Scott’s in San Francisco. Our culinary crew led by Executive Chef Sammy Reyes follows the same traditions & qualities established by the Original Scott’s.

    Our meals were delicious. We ordered the seafood sauté, lobster bisque, and steamed clams. The food was flavorful and a simple delight. The service was superb.

    What a great experience. The Easter Buffet was awesome. Great price and selection of food and drink. Customer service was on point as well. There was a dj there, which added to the ambiance. It was a great experience. It is always a fabulous time at Scotts.

    My friend and I went out for an amazing dining experience. We were dazzled by how fine the restaurant and the employees are. Our food was spectacularly delicious; the ambiance was elegant. Our waitress, whose name I regret not remembering, was superbly professional, while being very kind and considerate. Everything about the Scotts Seafood Restaurant in San Jose was exquisite.

    Everything was great, right up until a “5.5% Surcharge” was added. Never going back.

    Everything was good. I was seated by the window next to the outdoor seating area. The only thing that made me a bit queasy was the little mouse scurrying around the restaurant’s outdoor seating place. That disturbed me a bit and it’s not something you want to see while having a nice meal. The food and drinks were great.

    Overall a good experience and I will go back for business or family outings. Everyone's meal was cooked to temp and the food was good. I have one observation being from the DC/MD/VA area, the crabcakes appetizer was....uh, a sample for $40+? The proportions on the crabcakes were criminally small. With that said, my filet was good to go and my family seemed to enjoy their meals.

    The restuarant didn’t get the open table reservation half an hour before the reservation. We were early. I had the confirmation number in my phone.
