Scout - Seattle

I really wanted to love this restaurant! The food was terrible a very strange mix and flavors that did not go together. Prime example oysters with cucumber mignonette... it was so awful. The smoked tartrate was just ok but the redeeming dish was the clam chowder. My husband and I ordered a steak to share and it took forever to prepare and came out overcooked. We sent it back. They also included a 20% tip. The entire meal was $90 and they didn't charge us for the steak or the drinks we ordered so not sure why it was so expensive?? Needless to say, we would not recommend this restaurant and we will not be going back.

Great space, exceptional service, everyone liked the food. We will definitely be back.

Embarrassingly bad experience for a restaurant attached to the very nice Thompson hotel. First, our server greeted us ~12 minutes after we sat down. Next, it took an additional ~25 minutes to receive our drink from the bar because so sorry, the bartender is very busy (yet the place wasn 't packed or bustling). We actually felt sorry for our server. She apologized so many times throughout our evening that we came to believe that I 'm so sorry! has become part of her nightly routine. Very disappointing. Below average food and a horrible overall experience

I haven’t eaten here except for thanksgiving but based on that experience I will never go back. The food was almost inedible and at $95.00 per head you would certainly expect better! We were told the incorrect time to arrive for the complimentary drink at the nest and had to wait for the entire evening seating to finish their drinks before we could sit at our table. Then we all ate at the same time which made the service very difficult on the staff and forget getting anything extra or even a bread basket upon request. We couldn’t find any sign of oyster in the oyster dressing. The trout was fishy and all of the food was bland, tasteless or generally unappealing. I understand that group type dinners may not go as smoothly as eating out at a restaurant regularly, but for $95 per head without drinks I wouldn’t expect horrible food and fair at best service after waiting for an extra hour due to the hostess being given the wrong information and no one informing us until we had been there for a half an hour.

Friendsgiving- we really liked the idea and concept of friendsgiving. Sitting at a communal table meeting new people great. A Prosecco to start the evening at the Nest was a great way to mix, mingle meet people the view alway pleases. There was much confusion as to the table arrangements- but I think a group of people wanted to sit together alone.. throwing the seating arrangement out the window. Leaving to staff to scramble together a plan. Once seated the thanksgiving dinner was lovely. I really enjoyed the celery soup. They also served a trout, which was exceptional. The turkey was a disappointment as it was dry... the wine pairing was great ... in all it was a nice dinner. Our table mates proved to be a mixed bag, which has nothing to do with the restaurant . Half our table was a family clearly not wanting to engage with outsiders . The others were nice enough, but one can never be prepared for crazy morally superior. Lol
