| - Everything about Great Scott was above and beyond my expectations. I pulled into the parking lot and was surprised to see free valet parking. The area is pretty condensed anyway, but it was a very nice touch. Walking in, I was greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and was promptly seating. Inside, this place is huge; the bar to the right, a large lounge area in the middle, and ample dinner room seating to the left. After being seated, it wasn't 2 minutes before me and my party were attended to and ordering drinks. The beer selection was average, with a few specialty beers mixed in. Our waiter, Sean, was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu, which was impressive to me since they just opened. The menu was relatively small, but there was something for everyone. I ordered the signature burger and my party ordered the steak, the stroganoff, and the mac and cheese (note: this is NOT a side dish, the bowl is huge!). The burger came with a side of duck fat fries, which caused me to question why I had settled for regular fries all these years. After sampling a bit of everything my party had ordered, I have to say the food was superb. Everything was well seasoned, cooked to perfection, and extremely flavorful. I initially thought the prices were a little high, but it was justified as soon as the food was tasted. My party and I left satisfied and with leftovers for lunch the next day. This is a great upper class restaurant without being too pretentious. The perfect place for a date or just hanging out with friends after catching a movie at the Lakeshore 7. A place where you feel as comfortable wearing a polo as you would a suit and tie. I can't wait to come back and experience more of the menu! Keep up the good work!
