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.

Really slow service. Took like 20 minutes to get our order taken. Food was certainly mediocre. Bloody Mary had to be the worst ever. Definitely will not return.

I had the crab cake Benedict. It was delicious. The bloody Mary had a little spice, and the line wedge have it a nice hit of citrus.

We love dining at Scratch. It is the perfect dinner before a play in Mountain View. The food was excellent (hot) and great service. Tonight we had the halibut (fabulous) and the fried chicken (delicious). You also receive a good portion of food for your money!

Everything was okay but nothing was great. The restaurant was not very busy yet we were seated in a booth next to a large noisy party and we could barely hold a conversation at our table. We were halfway through our meal when that large party came in or we would have asked to move. But a little better planning and service would have been nice. We felt the price was too high for okay food and okay service

One of our favorite places to go to in MTV for either just a little mid-week, after work, dinner or a bit more special occasion. The menu keeps changing, which we like, as it keeps things fresh and interesting. Drinks are always good as is the wine list. Last but not least is the great service.
