Scotty's On Sheridan

Nice restaurant. Upscale setting

We came on a Friday evening, had a burger and grilled chicken. Food was good.

Celebrated my birthday here and could not have been more satisfied.
The service was impeccable. The drinks were generous and wine list extensive. The Feta & Tomato Crostini was the perfect blend of feta cheese, tomatoes, garlic, basil, pine nuts, balsamic glaze. The mussels were tender and flavorful. After dipping the warm dinner rolls in the broth from the mussels I was afraid I wouldn't have room for dinner but I soldiered on. I had the beet salad and enjoyed it very much but couldn't stop looking at my husbands wedge salad and my sons Pear salad.
I had the scallops and for the first time in a long time I didn't get a sandy one in the bunch. They were cooked to perfection, warm and creamy with a beautiful sear. The scallops came with another arugula salad so I had my greens for the week. At the table we also had the Idaho Trout which was declared the best my husband has ever had. The Meatballs and White Beans were a big hit and the New York Strip was deemed great. I was served a complimentary huge slice of coconut cake which was moist and enough for two. The others shared flan and chocolate cake. Much was enjoyed by all.

Very comfortable bar area. The happy hour selection includes a range of cocktails and wines plus appetizers. Excellent service.

Scotty's on Sheridan is fine. For a restaurant off the beaten path in a strip mall, it's run of the mill American fare was much better than I thought it would be. However, given how expensive the food is, I was expecting more. For a comparable amount, there are several restaurants in the area with more creative, flavorful meals and cocktails. I had the salmon, which tasted fresh, but was ultimately let down by it's bland accompaniment of asparagus, tomatoes, avocado and balsamic glaze. My husband had the pork ribs, which were tender and fell off the bone, inline with what you'd get at most places in the area. Our server was very pleasant and the atmosphere was fine for the strip mall location. Overall, it was an okay meal, but my husband and I probably won't be back.
