Review

Where is it?

Scott's was once located on Coventry Street when opened in 1851 as an oyster house by fishmonger John Scott. These days it's a Mayfair fixture, and has been since the 1960s, as it's located on Mount Street. It's not a long walk from either Bond Street or Green Park tube stations.

What's it like?

Surrounded by antiques shops and fancy designer boutiques, this place has to be pretty flash to keep up. and the Brudnizki-designed opulent interior doesn't disappoint. The punters reek of expensive perfume, old money and just a dash of pretension. What's not to love?! We're talking Joan Collins dining with Percy in one corner while Biggins and Cilla live it up in another - not Big Brother contestants. Foodwise, expect oysters aplenty, whole crab, Dublin Bay prawns, potted shrimps, caviar and scallops as well as a full fish and meat menu. Prices are high, with seafood prices ranging from £25 to £90.

Why does Johnny Ikon love it?

I love the old-fashioned indulgence, the over-the-top surroundings and as for the food? Probably the best seafood in London!

Johnny recommends somewhere to go afterwards

	The Long Bar The Sanderson Hotel, 50 Berners Street, W1T 3NG. Glamour, quirky design and a lack of pretension define The Long Bar
	Tramp 40 Jermyn Street, SW1Y 6DN. Synonymous with British class
	Jalouse 17 Hanover Square, W1S 1HU. One of 2008's biggest new openings
	Crystal 78 Wells Street, W1T 3QL. Jet set favourite
