Scott’s Mayfair - Review - Mayfair - London - The Infatuation

"When it comes to old-school London restaurants, Scott’s is a big name. This Mayfair seafood spot has been around since 1851 and its springtime flower arrangements are always a photo opp, but the truth is it’s got a bit of a stick up its arse. The crowd is usually a mix of suit-wearing regulars or families trying to have a ‘nice dinner’, and it can feel a little stiff and serious at times. photo credit: John Carey photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness photo credit: John Carey photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness photo credit: Paul Winch-Furness Pause Unmute Some of the fish dishes made us wide-eyed in appreciation—we’re looking at you buttery dover sole—but others made us regret paying upwards of £30 for an overly sweet piece of salmon. It’s hit and miss depending on your order, so here’s how you should play it. Get a fish that’s cooked in butter, or the deep-fried haddock for a fancy take on fish and chips. And don’t leave without trying the bramley apple pie or the banoffee cheesecake to share. They’re both excellent, and an exciting way to round off an otherwise kind-of-boring dinner. If you’re in the mood for a fancy seafood supper, the Richmond location is a lot more compelling." - Rianne Shlebak
