It was my first time at a Scott’s Seafood, as I understand that there are several (in San Jose, Palo Alto, and of course Mountain View), and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the vibe of the restaurant. I really liked the smoked salmon and the ahi tuna steaks – which immediately got me thinking that I needed to return ASAP with wifey.
This beer-and-food pairing event was excellent, as I indicated in another post. I am definitely fortunate to have been able to attend this dinner.
Cheers!
