Vibe: Varied take on atmosphere

The ambience has mixed reviews, some finding it hip while others quite lacking. It doesn't score highly for the entertainment or date-night scene due to high noise levels. The lack of alcohol may be off-putting for those who enjoy a drink with their meal, hence undermining the trendy, lively atmosphere.

  • Great Buzz

    Restaurant's trendy, lively atmosphere with Instagrammable food draws crowds.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Some reviews find decor hip and modern, others too dim or lacking.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music was good but just a little loud for conversation.

Perks: Hit or miss perks

The cramped parking lot and hard-to-hear chats due to noise do little favors for The Scratch Room. Long wait times, no reservations, alongside a rather basic outdoor experience do littles to help either. However, it balances these setbacks with a friendly staff accustomed to accommodating large groups and a variety of dietary requirements, even managing to provide a kid-friendly environment.

  • Great For Diets

    Flexible and accommodating to a variety of dietary requirements.

  • Okay Service

    Service varies, mixing experiences of friendly, attentive care with slow responses.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Long wait outside in the heat without seating, uncomfortable.
