Scott's Seafood Roundhouse

Nestled in the heart of Old Folsom, Scott's Seafood Roundhouse is a destination that masterfully celebrates the rich flavors of the sea with an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere. Specializing in expertly crafted seafood paired with a vibrant bar and grill experience, Scott’s offers an inviting space where locals and visitors alike savor fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes that delight the senses.

The moment you sit down, you're enveloped in an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between elegant and approachable. Whether you're enjoying a casual lunch or a leisurely dinner, the atmosphere feels warm and relaxed, yet polished enough to enhance every bite. The menu reads like a seafood lover’s dream — from the crisp, tender Calamari and the decadently creamy Oysters Rockefeller to the iconic Scott's Cioppino, brimming with succulent shellfish and rich tomato broth. Each plate is a sensory celebration with textures and flavors that dance harmoniously: the buttery softness of Macadamia Crusted Halibut, the spicy kick of the Crab Bisque, or the fresh brininess of Raw Oysters on the Half Shell served with their zesty cilantro lime mignonette.

One standout experience is indulging in the Fresh Chilled Seafood Tower, a spectacular offering featuring head-on prawns, North Atlantic lobster claw, Dungeness crab, ahi poke, and ceviche. It’s a feast of chilled freshness that’s perfect for sharing or savoring solo. Those with a heartier appetite can relish from the grill selections such as the Skirt Steak with its char-grilled smokiness enhanced by chimichurri pesto, or the indulgent 6oz Filet Oscar, elegantly topped with fresh crab and served alongside buttered Yukon gold potatoes and asparagus.

Scott’s also shines with inventive light lunch combos for a midday treat, like the zesty Dungeness Crab Cake Slider with sriracha mayo or the vibrant Blackened Rock Fish Taco, bursting with bright flavors featuring napa cabbage and pico de gallo. Beyond seafood, Scott’s 1/2 lb Angus Burger offers a savory, satisfying option for guests craving classic comfort.

Reviewers often highlight the attentiveness and warmth of the staff, with many noting how servers go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. One guest described their Mother’s Day lunch as “wonderful,” praising their server Kendra’s exceptional care and accommodating spirit, which greatly enhanced the meal. Others have expressed delight in the balance Scott’s strikes — serving upscale dishes without the pretense, making it an inviting destination for families and seafood novices alike, even if portions lean on the refined, smaller side.

To round out your visit, don’t skip dessert. Lush options like the classic Crème Brulee and rich Bread Pudding offer the perfect sweet finish, tenderly complementing the oceanic flavors that came before. Pair your meal with one from their fantastic cocktail menu to fully embrace the refined yet relaxed vibe that defines Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse.
