Outdoor dining and take-out available everyday.
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.

    Scratch is a nice spot for brunch/lunch. We stopped in for Easter Brunch and had the Crab Cake and hamburger. Both dishes tasted great. We also had the espresso martinis, also good. Service was nice, everyone was friendly.

    There were 3 of us dining on Thursday evening. We started with duck potstickers, deviled eggs and crispy Brussels sprouts. All were delicious and easily shareable. We moved on to an order of lamb ragu pappardelle and two orders of pan seared scallops. The papperdelle was the best choice, flavorful and hearty. The scallops were tasty, a small portion. Our server was exceptional. Very personable, but professional. All staff worked hard and were available as needed. The restaurant was very busy (for a Thursday night). Many large parties. It was very noisy, calming down as the evening wore on. I would recommend to others and will definitely return.

    There were four of us enjoying two appetizers, a salad, a flatbread, a vegetarian dish, and fish and chips. Everything was delicious! Those who had dessert were enthusiastic. We were well served on the patio, despite being the only ones there.

    We were welcomed immediately as we opened the door and then promptly seated in the middle of the restaurant. The service was attentive but not hovering. We ordered the corned beef hash and almond encrusted brioche French toast. It was all very good, but the star was the biscuit that came as an option with the corned beef. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy and warm on the inside and a must have!

    Overall the service and ambience was excellent. The one meal fail was the mussels and Belgium fries. I have had this meal at least 10 times and never were the fries served in the same bowl as the mussels with wine sauce. Rather than crispy and crunchy, as they normally are served in a coronet, these were dull and soggy. In retrospect I should have sent them back rather than try to plow through them as I did.

    Our food was delicious as expected but the service... No one came to our table for several minutes Didn't offer an ice bucket for our sparkling wine, had to go and find someone to request one Not attentive at all Just not the service that the restaurant should have, maybe the staff needs more training

    Love this place. The new chef has added some new flavor combinations to the menu. Scallops and pork belly. Who knew? Wow! Duck pot stickers with ponzu sauce. Yum!
