Scratch features today's American cookery in an elegant setting. The cuisine is based on the premise of simple food done well and draws from American classics reflecting today's influences and bounty of ingredients. Choose from a tender moist braised short rib, fried chicken, or perhaps a selection from our fresh seafood and oyster bar.

For beverages Scratch has researched some of the finest vineyards and distilleries in the United States. We have a wide variety of wines and spirits to choose from in all price ranges. Some of our wine and spirits are highly allocated and will not always be available.

Scratch also offers a vegetarian menu and a gluten free menu.
Join us for happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 6 pm in the bar and on the patio.

I understand it’s the holidays, and I feel empathy for your staff, but maybe you should have sat half the tables considering your staff’s capacity. Dinner took over an hour and a half in total. It took 15 mins after we sat for a server to come by, and then an hour to get our main course. I saw food kept getting delivered to the wrong tables, and when my main arrived, I had to ask about the wine pairing I ordered. By the time it arrived, I had already finished half of it (purposely eating slow so I wouldn’t finish it before my wine arrived). The thing is, I don’t blame the staff. It felt like management trying to squeeze in as many tables as possible for Thanksgiving, regardless of whether you had the staff to support it.

The Thanksgiving prix fixe was a great value. We ate vegetarian which included a pear salad, chestnut soup, roasted cauliflower and a squash stew. All were very good. The restaurant was fully staffed and very attentive.

Waffle crispness degraded from before. Omelette didn't taste as good. Ordered two of $9 fruit sides specifically asking if they had bananas, only to receive them with zero bananas in them. No longer a 5 star no-hiccup experience we were used to. Hope they get better. At the current price point, don't think they're value for money anymore.
