"Service was outstanding. Server Ash and doorman Peter were very friendly, charismatic and attentive. The burrata salad starter was amazing, the flavours worked excellently together. The main food was delicious, although portions were small (had a risotto and guest had the roast) so I’d recommend getting a side with them. The desserts were very tasty, the best one for us was the apple pie. The drinks menu is filled with variety so there will be something for everyone. The decor and layout is stunning, it is evident lots of thought was put into designing this place. On Wednesday it is jazz and Motown live music night, this contributed to the amazing atmosphere at Scott’s. Cannot wait for my next visit."

"Scotts in Richmond offers a lovely atmosphere and excellent service, creating a very pleasant dining experience. The seafood stands out the cod was particularly good, and the halibut was also excellent with a well-balanced sauce. The only dish that felt slightly unusual was the deep-fried artichoke, which had a sweet flavour that didn’t quite work for me. Overall, a great spot in Richmond in an elegant setting."

"Fabulous place for a special night out. You can dress up or you can be more casual, the atmosphere is great. Lovely welcome from the doorman. Great cocktails to start and delicious fish dishes to enjoy. Husband's fish and chips was huge. My hake was really delicious and just the right portion size. Brussels side dish was incredible."

"I like the decor, the food, the attention to detail. The waiters are very attentive to the needs and requirements of customers. I was a little bit sad, that we didn't make a reservation upstairs, as there was a piano recital that day."

"Very happy with everything. The waiters and managers were amazing, detailed to attention to everything. Came and had conversations with us even though they were very busy on St Valentine's Day. Food was exceptional. I am at their Mayfair branch normally and was not disappointed here!"

"Beautiful interior and really friendly staff. Came here for my 2-year anniversary dinner with my fiancé and we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I would definitely return. Such a special gem to have it next to the river."

"Delicious set lunch at Scotts Richmond in a fabulous building overlooking the river Thames. Such a wonderful greeting from the doorman made this a wonderful start to a great lunch. Starting with the Chalkstream trout tartare and the flavourful Roscoff Onion Tarte Tatin and onto the mains of Fillet Of Cornish Pollock and the famous Scotts FIsh pie the cooking is delightful and well presented. Perfect chocolate mousse and the in season Yorkshire Rhubarb Coupe were our desserts. The main dining area and bar has a wonderful spacious atmosphere with excellent service to match. It can be a special dining occasion or a casual meal and the location in Richmond is perfect."

"From the moment you walk through the door the warm welcome is felt from all the staff. The decor is sumptuous, but comfortable, overlooking the Thames what a setting. On the 1st floor the cocktail bar and river view seating is an opulent comfortable area with sheepskin rugs to snuggle into... look forward to brighter days when the area isn't enclosed and to enjoy the gambit of English weather! Food! We shared Jersey oysters and a spicy crab. Oysters were served with shallot vinegar and jalapeño vinegar, clean and delicious. The crab, mainly tge brown meat mixed with ginger and other spices served with slices of sour dough toast. I had the monkfish and prawn korma, an explosion of flavour in every mouthful. My husband ordered the hake which looked great, we shared a side of kimchi Brussels sprouts and chips! Washed down with a bottle of sparkling water and champagne. Our conclusion the lunch was perfect and we prefer Richmond over Mayfair as a setting ... never thought I'd say that! The maître d was in complete control of the room and charming. Nuno thank you for your time in showing us with pride the cocktail area. Needless to say we will be back in the New Year."
