I had read some really good on-line reviews, though when I asked people in person most people told me that they had a negative experience. Well, I wanted to think that hey were wrong so I took a friend for a special night out. I made reservations . . . we arrived on time (though we had to park blocks away - tiny lot).
But then the hostess said our table was not ready. We sat at bar . . . for 45 minutes. Nice bartender, but hostess NEVER ONCE came to give us an update. Mind you we had a reservation. Finally she seats us at a table that had been available for the whole 45 minutes hat we sat there waiting.
My friend said the duck was the best he had ever had. My meal was forgettable (not terrible, just okay). . . couldn't tell you what I had, but it was expensive.
While we were there there was one table with a regular and the waitstaff and owner were fawning over that customer, but I got the impression that they didn't really care too much about someone who was trying them out for the first (and last) time.
I have a shop in town & people often ask me to recommend a good restaurant in town. I wouldn't send them to Scutra; I don't think they would shop in my store again. Too bad I was excited to think that there might be a nice Belgian/French bistro in this town. For French, try Le Petit Robert, it's not in this town, but it is excellent with incredible, attentive service.
Pros: My friend said the duck was the best ever.
Cons: Unprofessional hostess ruined the experience.
