    First visit to Scratch in Mountain View and overall I rate it a solid 4 all around. Located in upbeat and trendy Castro Street. Our party of three enjoyed good food and drinks in a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was courteous and attentive. We endulged in the Fried Chicken with Baked Beans and delicious Cornbread. Accompanied with a side order of Macaroni and Cheese. We also ordered The Seafood Ciopinno and a gourmet style Hamburger with Bacon and a Side Salad with a Creamy Vinaigrette. I started my meal with a Single Malt Whiskey that paired wonderfully wth my Bacon Burger! Dressy Casual I believe to be suitable attire. The bill for the dinner and drinks wasn't too bad. Would definitely return

    Came for the Valentines Day special and had the tasting menu - food was excellent and the dishes had very complex textures and flavors, and everything was clearly curated very carefully and intentionally. The staff was surprisingly attentive and pleasant despite how busy it got, and they even took the time to take a polaroid of us and present us our photo with a small paper flower. 100% would return
