A hidden gem, have been many times and the food has been consistently amazing. The parking is limited and somewhat awkward, but once you are inside everything is world class ... the staff, the decor, the atmosphere are all worthy of the 5 stars.

We’ve been hearing great things for years and finally thought we’d try Scutra for a birthday dinner. Delicious dinner and great service. Appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts and drinks were enjoyed by all. Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable.

The food here is absolutely amazing! Time and time again we leave and are always talking about how good it was even days later. Louie Paparella’s martinis are quite possibly the best I’ve had (especially the Jean De Bon)! Excellent all around!

Excellent food. The tuna poke nachos - the lobster arancini , the pesto chicken —- all excellent. The cocktails were also delicious. Great environment - very nice servers. All around would def recommend!

What a great restaurant! We reserved a table for my wife's birthday. We had a fabulous meal .. great cocktails, delicious appetizers and entrees .. the service from our server, Louie, was amazing. He was so personable it felt like he was an old friend. This was a very special birthday meal thanks to Louie and an amazing kitchen.



Short rib is great. Bread is also great. Service is really good not like that I read before. Beef wellington is ok for the price but the taste is normal





From start to finish, the service and food were absolutely impeccable. I can't say enough about our server, John. He was so funny and entertaining, while also thoughtful and attentive.
For example, I love this cocktail called Paper plane, but it is not super well-known. We showed John the ingredients and he said "Oh yeah, we can do that". Then, he brings over the cocktail complete with a Paper plane on top and playing the song "Paper planes" on his phone. Next level service! Not to mention, the cocktail was the best Paper plane I ever had.
The fresh, warm bread was top-notch and our appetizer was incredible (got the strudel special). The eggplant/tomato salad exploded with flavor and was so good with the bread.
For entrees, I had one of the specials, salmon with lobster ravioli in a saffron cream sauce. It was so rich, flavorful, and just amazing... and such a value for the reasonable price. My husband had the beef wellington. When it came out, the presentation alone left us in awe. Such a beautiful dish. It was cooked perfectly and it was by far one of the most delicious meals he ever had. I had a couple bites and couldn't agree more.
Then... coffee and dessert. We had the strawberry shortcake. Best ever... and I've had a lot of strawberry shortcakes in my life. Had this fresh strawberry sauce that gave it some tart... all of the sauces in all of the dishes were phenomenal.
When we received the bill, we really thought it was such a great value with all that we ordered. Especially with the quality, taste and presentation of the top-level cuisine.
I do not typically write reviews, and certainly not ones that are this long, but felt compelled to. We had one of the best meals and experiences ever and Scutra is such a gem. We can't wait to go back. Thank you, Scutra! - Kacey and Jeff
