Food: Delicious tastes, unimaginative portions
The food experience at Scarlet Kitchen & reveals a flair for culinary innovation and a knack for tantalizing any discerning palate. Despite the creativity and delightful taste that earns deep acclaim, the portions and freshness pose a letdown. Although it has a range of menu items, the small portions and variable freshness mar the overall value of the dining experience.

Okay Variety
Hit or miss menu with both extensive and limited options, needs focus.
Low Quality
Fishy old seafood, over-salted meals, and mediocre fish quality.

Vibe: Refreshing ambiance, unsettling odour
This restaurant boasts an ambiance that is as stylish as it is welcoming, enhanced by the good times live music brings. The drink selection is an adventure with top-notch cocktails and wines, but the occasional sewer smell belies this otherwise perfect setting. Date nights are hit or miss here, depending on personal preferences.
Great Drinks
Extensive, innovative drink selection with top-notch cocktails and wines.
Okay Ambiance
Reviews cite both cozy, stylish decor and some overly noisy aspects.
No Views
Sewer smell disrupts the outdoor dining atmosphere intermittently.
Perks: Easy reservations amidst noisy confusion
Perks offered by Scarlet Kitchen & are a mixed bag, parking is ample and free while their online reservation system also earns praise. Patrons can enjoy the spacious patio with or without their pets. However, the high noise levels make for difficult socialization, and the rather unfriendly kids and group policies may disappoint some.
Easy To Reserve
Simple online reservations through OpenTable were consistently praised.
Okay Service
Good atmosphere and friendly staff, but service speed varies.
Bad For Kids
No kids menu available, making it less accommodating for families.
