“ Well crafted cocktails from Scott & Co. Both 47 Scott and Scott & Co. were some of the first to make a go-of it downtown, prior to the large development boom and revitalization. It's great to still see them alive and well. The restaurant menu has evolved slightly over time, but it's always great quality. This is also a nice location for small events. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. ”
“ Service, food, host, and ambience were excellent. At all times waitress checked if we were in need of any additional service. ”
“ Wonderful. A delicious experience! Waitress was incredible and put up with a really old and creepy man hitting on her. Bless her heart! ”
“ A true stand out in Tucson. I give it 5 stars on a Tucson scale; 3.5 stars on a national scale (Tucson doesn't have real 5 star anything, so it's graded on a curve). The average Tucson-ian will be blown away by this place! It has easily made it onto my personal top 10 meals in Tucson (and that is hard to do). I'm going to nit-pick it now, but let me first say that it stands head and shoulders above most restaurants in Tucson. Cozy atmosphere. Jazz music played at a perfect volume. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Drinks were the star of the evening (much better crafted than the meals). The line gets an A for plating skills. Very nice presentations - Good use of space, color, placement, etc. The cooks get an A- to B for flavor development. Beware of strong flavors taking center stage to the main ingredients. **Pistachio Crusted Salmon** overcooked, almost dry. Pistachio was allowed to become wet, lost all crunch, and had no nutty flavor. Overall salmon flavor was good. The vegetable puree was good: lightly sweet and played well in counterpoint to the salmon. It also saved the salmon by providing moistness. **Duck Meatloaf** Wonderfully crumbly texture. Almost melts in your mouth. More of a Duck Fat loaf than a Duck Meat loaf. If there is duck meat in it, then it is chopped tiny and is scarce. It seems to get its name from the use of duck fat. Duck fat on anything is always good, just wish it had more protein than filling. Maybe the word meat in meatloaf should have quotes around it. The herb seasonings also overpowered the wonderful duck flavor. The seasoning needs to be tweaked to let the "duck" shine through. It is served on a bed of cream spinach. It was a wonderful compliment and was scrumptious as a stand alone. It is also plated with a wine reduction that was a distraction and did not compliment the dish at all. That element should be reconsidered. Also, it came across as a balsamic reduction heavy with vinegar rather than wine reduction. The method needs attention. **Bacon Wrapped Dates** Perfection. Jammy dates. Delish bacon wrap. Perfectly balanced and fired. **Smoked Crab Stuffed Mushroom** The name should be changed to mushrooms stuffed with unidentifiable filling seasoned with sage/thyme. You get mushroom flavor, sage or thyme or both (too muddy to tell), with a hint of lemon and an aftertaste of something else.... crab.... kind of. ”
“ The salmon was great and the cocktails... I'll return on my next Tucson visit. ”
“ Oh boy, this place! Great service first of all. But the food! Wow! Not very many items on the menu and it’s ok because what is on the menu is perfection! Started with mussels and bacon wrapped dates and both were delicious. The sauce for the mussels had fresh sliced fennel and was delicious, we kept the sauce to dip our bread (waitress recommended that). For main course had the meatloaf which was elevated to a whole new level, scallops and shrimp and a side of pomme frites which were so good (any California people might be reminded of the ones at the Cafe Orleans at Disneyland-so good). We were too full for dessert. We are outside on the patio which has a really cool vibe, felt like I was in the LA art district. Owners if you read this PLEASE BRING THIS EXACT RESTAURANT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!! ”
“ Upscale restaurant. Delicious and savory food. The bar and restaurant are comparable in quality and service. Atmosphere is quiet and dim lights. Perfect if you seek a quiet place to enjoy dinner. I recommend the mojito and petit filet. ”
“ Fantastic cocktails. Ordered a Boulevardier & a Gold Rush variation (bourbon, honey syrup, lemon). Both were served perfectly insofar as temp, glassware, and garnish. Perfect flavors & nuance. ”
