A gift certificate was burning a hole in my pocket. My husband and I went and loved it! I started with the garlic baked muscles. Garlic butter and feta? YES PLEASE! They were beautiful and thought the feta was great for a touch of saltiness. I got seafood crusted salmon. Oh. My. Goodness. My perfectly pink salmon was topped with crab and lobster. It doesn’t get any better than that. It was served with an asparagus risotto and a pesto drizzle. This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. It was hot and flavorful. Such a great combination of flavors that didn’t overpower one another. My husband had a 14oz sirloin steak with a butter and raspberry beer sauce over mashed potatoes. We had no room for dessert and will look forward to returning! Parking was easy.

I went with my wife and teen daughter on a Thursday night. The service was leisurely but courteous (20 minutes elapsed until a waiter approached our table), but the food was worth it. Scallop is notoriously difficult to get right, but the Scutra version with the limoncello reduction and polenta was heavenly. Thinly sliced lamb pailard was remarkable, with a a very pronounced yet harmonius smoked taste to it. The mango and rasberry mousse and wildberry tart hit the sweet spot afterward.

Fairly disappointing. Everyone was friendly enough (our waiter Louie was also the bartender and manager and was attentive.) The food was forgettable. Nothing was bad, but in general it was fairly greasy and didnt have a whole lot of flavor. we got only appetizers ( stuffed meatballs, salmon spring rolls, muscles and scallops.) The only one we might eat again was the spring roll dish. It wasnt horrible but we wont go back

Just went there for Valentines day. The food was fabulous. The bartender was wonderful in helping pick out a wine for us. I couldnt believe that our waitress and another waitress had on bluejeans. I thought for such a nice restaurant the staff would be smartly dressed especially on such a special night. Scutra, it would be nice if you asked your staff to wear more suitable attire such as black pants or skirt.

Undoubtably the finest Italio-Belgian restaurant I have ever visited. This is an independent chef owned outfit that is just the right fit for a casual dinner, a romantic date, or a family outing. Nightly specials and a lengthy menu mean that repeat visits alway offer something new.

Fabulous meal and excellent service. Loved the Calamari steak appetizer in a lemon caper sauce, we split two entrees - lamb chops and haddock with lobster mashed potatoes, both excellent. And split two desserts! Creme Brulee and Molten Lava Cake (not too sweet). Mmmmmmmmm

Absolutely excellent food. Prep, presentation, service and price was far better than expected, especially considering the amount and quality. If we lived on that side of the river, Im sure wed be regulars.

Inspired and definitely not run of the mill meals, very well prepared and creatively presented. Staff attentive and just the right amount of subtle humor. Great experience.

Great food and service. And to have a place like this within walking distance from our house is a huge bonus. We try to go as often as we can afford it.

Had heard great things but was very disappointed. Had a reservation but waited 35 minutes. Food was all right but nothing special.Better places to go.

We are vegetarian and walked in without announcing that. But the chef whipped up a terrific meal for us on the spot!

This has been our favorite restaurant for at least 16 years. The flavors chef creates are always outstanding.

Delicious options and a great cocktail bar. Unfortunately, always too crowded because of its popularity.

The Beef Wellington was fantastic. The deserts are always very good. The presentation is always stunning.

Great food with seasonal menus. They now have a back patio, as of the end of August 2017, as well.
