It makes me sad to think others have had such a disappointing experience here. My spouse and I stopped in for the first time a few days ago and neither one of us could say anything negative about it.
I love the decor and even though the pub is about 5yrs old, it still feels new without being pretentious. I was thrilled to walk into a very clean, spacious, well lit and warm ladies restroom. The pub was busy but not too loud and is not bombarded by TV's. Our server was friendly and bubbly. Our food orders arrived quickly and we thought the prices and quantities were very reasonable. We tried the garlic cheese toast which was light and delicious. I wasn't expecting bread with herbs but it was very good. My spouse had the fish and chips. One piece was enough for his big appetite and although he thought the batter was a bit salty, he really enjoyed the meal. We both were surprised and impressed that he wasn't charged for a side of mayo. I had the Cajun Jambalaya which was an interesting mix of ingredients but really tasty and packed with some heat. I couldn't finish my meal so asked for the remainder to go. It was accidentally thrown out by someone else in the kitchen so our server apologized and ordered me an entirely new Jambalaya order to take home. I thought that was pretty generous considering I only had about 1/4 of my original entree left.
I hope this experience wasn't a one-off and others can enjoy Scotsman's Well as much as we did. If you haven't been here before, don't let the poor reviews stop you from giving it a chance.
