After reading others' reviews, I decided to check this calimed gem out. The atmosphere and service was great, but the food wasn't really impressive. Someone mentioned the food here beat Flora, also in Arlington. I disagree. I've been to Flora a few times and everytime had no complaints about the food, which is always a good reason to keep going. Scutra, I wouldn't go back. The food was pretty average. The appetizers were good. We had soft shell crab and mussels, but the entrees were a disappointment. I had the Hawaiin Seabass, wasn't good. My friend had steak and it was okay only. The food also didn't seem to render French/Belgian. Overall, I didn't think the food was worth the price.
Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: Not so yummy food.
