It is with a heavy heart that I write to confirm that Scott's Grille – true to various rumors, tweets and updates this weekend – has shut its doors for good.
My friends and I enjoyed Scott's for years – as had much of the Harrisburg area – for dinner, happy hour and late night dancing. I have fond memories of chef's tables, countless happy hours, Friday raw bar, Pepka, DJ Ray Rossi, DJ Scottie, Halloween parties, Strawberry-basil martinis – I could go on.
Instead, please enjoy a slideshow of some photos from my personal collection of Scott's Grille throughout the years. Scot G of MODE, no doubt has the most comprehensive photography collection from the years of Scott's – hopefully he'll be able to share those as well.
