Went on a Saturday night, which proved to be busy but not unmanageable. We had a reservation but probably would not have needed one.
Classy and hip decor, not too noisy, and a nice split level design really make this place feel cozy.
The hostess told us seafood was their specialty. I had heard some mediocre reviews, so I decided to go all in and try the stuffed squid. To my pleasant surprise, they nailed it. Tender, perfectly cooked tubes bursting with delicious tomato and rice. Just right! I've had some terrible squid dishes in five star Italian spots, so this was a real testament to their quality here.
Otherwise, the drink list is very well stocked and cocktails will definitely satisfy. Plenty of local flair on both, of course.
Very good place to eat. Great specialty cocktails, good beer selections, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere are on tap. Food is simple yet very well executed. The tuna was cooked to perfection! The pan seared scallops...... well make it a double order with a salad and you would be doing your taste buds and tummy a great favor!
The Scale House has a magical combination of an incredibly friendly atmosphere staffed by folks who truly care and delicious comfort food in a classy setting. I strongly recommend starting with the clam chowder - it's so much better than your average clam chowder. The rack of ribs, by the way, is a huge portion of food at a reasonable price. Dessert is great here too (we got strawberry mousse and carrot cake). Seth, our server, made us feel welcome and at home. Definitely the best food of its kind in the area!
