Cheers to the New Year! \u00a0How did you ring in 2014? \u00a0With a glass of champagne or wine? Some lucky people celebrated the new year at Scott’s Restaurant and Bar with the sexy Winter Crafted Cocktails by the Golden Foodie Award winning Mixologist, James Wood.<\/p>\n

You may know James from Hopscotch in Downtown Fullerton. \u00a0Known for his never-ending creativity, James concocts these new cocktails using\u00a0house made syrups and fresh juices. \u00a0His passion for flavor is evident in every sip.<\/p>\n

\"\"I had been to the restaurant’s main dining room but never at the private lounge\/bar and event dining rooms. \u00a0The intimate Glass Room seats up to 70 guests while the larger dinning room accommodates up to 180 guests. \u00a0Many weddings and special occasions have been celebrated here. \u00a0I really love the Murano Bar\u00a0with a cozy fireplace. \u00a0\"\"When we arrived, we were greeted with beautiful platters of roasted vegetables, cheese, and crackers. \u00a0\"\"The management team welcomed us and gave an introduction of James and the restaurant which celebrated its 24 years and has been a landmark restaurant in Costa Mesa. Specializes \u00a0in sustainable seafood and the finest prime-aged steaks, it’s a popular gathering place for locals as well as tourists. \u00a0\"\"James wasted no time to showcase his craft. \u00a0I am not much of a drinker, so I basically took a couple of sips of each of the cocktails. \u00a0You would have to excuse me for not detailing the flavor of the drinks. \u00a0But I guess that means you will just have to go try them yourself. \u00a0But please trust me and my fellow bloggers that these cocktails are not only sexy but sophisticated. \u00a0In another word – AMAZING!<\/p>\n
