Service was spectacular! Nikki (bartender) worked very hard! My wife and I sat at the bar to eat (our usual practice) and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. This has been a regular spot for us since moving to Braselton from Johns Creek! Last evening was slammed on its "next to last night in business". That situation is very troubling and obviously meant a lot to the packed house! I'm sure tonight's last night will be a great party to celebrate Scott's place as one of the best restaurants in Georgia! Our conversation with Scott (owner) was both great and sad. He and his restaurant will be missed. Thanks for the good times and great memories!!!

Scott's is an absolutely fabulous restaurant. Everything is first class. It's a shame they have been forced to close. Hope they are able to re-open soon. They will certainly be missed.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Scotts Downtown on a Saturday evening. Our waiter Chris was very efficient and provided great service. We were very pleased that we did not have to ask for our water to be refilled which is very important. The appetizers and entrees were excellent and we are so glad that Scotts is back open.
