I highly recommend this gracious restaurant. The food is really beautiful. Quite tasty. And the ambience is very peaceful. And love the music. Really pretty bar, and the dinner tables are like antique bistro tables. Feel free to dress up and feel like you are in one of the best restaurants in the world!

We had a wonderful meal at the Royal Scam. I had the rib eye steak special after starting with the chicken soup with basil dumplings. The soup was deliciously creamy, perfect on a cold night. My husband had the Land and Sea, filet mignon and crab cakes, both were cooked to perfection. We finished our meal by splitting the bread pudding, our favorite dessert. The Royal Scam’s bread pudding is some of the best around, full of toasted nuts and fruit with a warm bourbon sauce.
