I have been to Scaturro?s numerous times. For the most part, they have great food, although I?ve had a few rocky experiences. They make phenomenal sea bass, so light and moist. However, I recently had the sea bass osso bucco during restaurant week and while the fish tasted great, what was the point of leaving the bone on, so I could choke on tiny fish bones that made much of the fish inedible. I get the point of cooking meat on the bone for flavor but I?m totally missing the point as far as fish. While this aspect of the meal was disappointing my ahi tuna appetizer was awesome, as was my chocolate lava cake dessert. Even my salad, which can sometimes be boring was really tasty. Other highlights include their pear, gorgonzola and walnut salad, I?ve had the lamb which was to die for, the scallops are excellent, I had a grilled seafood appetizer one time that was fabulous. A few lowlights include the poorly cleaned mussels which actually broke my tooth, that induced a hiatus of a few months but I eventually came back. I?ve also had some rocky service, once having to beg the bus boy for more cocktails after being completely ignored all night. Other times, I?ve found the service to be pleasant and attentive. Dining here often, I was annoyed at once being seated at the smallest table in the empty restaurant next to a curtain that was clearly going to be in my face all evening, but I asked another bus boy to move and he happily obliged. Sometimes I find the dishes a tad salty and greasy (too much butter) other times they are right on and the whole experience is enjoyable. I personally try to ignore the wacky bar outback with karaoke and loud bands some nights, it?s completely out of character with the relaxed elegant dining room and large wooden bar in the front. Despite a few issues, I think Scaturro?s makes some solid food.
