Scutra is pretty near The Russell House. Belgian and French food is worth a try here. The chef at this restaurant cooks good salmon appetizers, grilled scallops and ribs. It's a pleasant experience to eat nicely cooked lemon cheesecakes, gelato and strudels. You will be offered delicious house wine, coffee martini or cider. Great espresso or good bread drink are worth a try here.

The cosy atmosphere makes Scutra a perfect choice for a family dinner. The success of this place would be impossible without the patient staff. Terrific service is something visitors like here. According to the reviewers' opinions, prices are affordable. You will be pleasantly surprised by the fine decor. This spot is ranked 4.7 within the Google grading system.

I love this European restaurant. I've never had a bad meal here. Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but it's every bit worth it . The staff is always courteous. There is very little parking except you can park in Ace Hardware and will not get towed. Ace Hardware gives special permission for people for the restaurant people to park in their lot, and the restaurant has a sign on the front door saying that. Price per person: $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

This place was great. Wanted to give it a 4.5 just couldn’t go 5. The hostess was miserable and in-personable probably not who I would have chosen to be the first person you see when you walk in. My girlfriend and I just did a bunch of apps and dessert. The only appetizer that wasn’t a 10/10 is the pizza. It was tasteless like unexplainably tasteless. Definitely save room for dessert. We had the special which was a key lime crème brule and the chocolate toffee pudding, both amazing Price per person: $60–70 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

We have been dining at Scutra’s since they opened 20 plus years ago. They never disappoint! Last night we had the lobster roll which was fresh and lightly dressed on a toasted roll. It came with french fries which were outstanding and a small caesar salad. Fabulous summer meal! Scutra feels like home to my husband and me. The staff is always very attentive and there is little turnover. We have been served by the same people year after year. Louie, who is the bar manager, creates the most wonderful cocktails and will create one special for you (the Flotini being my favorite) This all says something about the owners, Cid and Didier. Cid is always there to make sure everything is running smoothly and to greet and chat with the diners. She truly cares about her customers. Didier is the chef extraordinaire. The cuisine has a European flair reflecting his Belgium roots. His dishes are imaginative and always with the freshest ingredients. I don’t think we have ever had a meal we didn’t love. My husband loves what he does with seafood, the swordfish being one of his favorites. Thank you Scutra! See you next week! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $50–100

Dear Florence,Your words warmed my heart. Seeing your name brought back so many memories—you and your husband have truly been part of the Scutra family since day one. Knowing that our restaurant feels like “home” to you is the highest compliment we could ever receive.I’m so glad you loved the lobster roll—it really is one of my favorite summer plates too. And thank you for mentioning Louie, our wonderful staff, and of course Didier. We couldn’t do what we do without this incredible team, and guests like you who have supported us for over 20 years.It means the world to Didier and me that you’ve trusted us with so many meals and memories. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you both next week—it’s always such a joy to catch up.Thank you!Cid
