Scott's Seafood Restaurant at Town and Country Village closed last week. I wonder what is replacing the vacant space?

Will L&L start selling malasadas since they're already selling doughnuts?

Our family will miss Scotts SO MUCH. The food was good and the servers were good and friendly. They will be putting in four retail stores..Just what we all need.
For the past four years we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner there. It was good and certainly less work for Mother...:). Oh, My.

We miss Hawaiian-style malasadas. Real shame if a Hawaiian donut shop doesn't sell them.

Didn't know they were closing, but we sure won't miss Scotts - the food was NOT great. Try Scotts in Jack London Square...Now THAT is good food!
Very interesting donut duel!! LOL!

When the ownership of Happy Donuts changed, the quality of the donuts declined. Guess I'll have to try L & L.

@Resident:
This article indicates that Scott's Seaford at T&C will be altered to host four retail spaces.

My guess is that T&C management will need to be well within the remodeling process before they can seek new tenants. Based on how long the permitting/build-out process takes in Palo Alto, my hunch is that we will not learn about new tenants in the old Scott's Seafood space for about a year.

My family really enjoyed that L&L until our last visit when it was clear there was a new owner...the front staff was rude and disorganized at the register, everyone's food order was wrong and the quality was not what I was used to under former owners. I for one won't go there again.

By a large margin, Donut War is my favorite kind of war.

"Pacifist" would probably be taking a different tone if any of his or her loved ones becomes a delicious, delicious casualty of this conflict.

We tried L&L earlier this week. The food was fine, perhaps an improvement from the previous ownership. Prices are great for the quantity you are getting. The employees seem friendly and better organized than the previous ownership.
Donut selection was kind of disappointing, though. No malasadas and they don't really seem to be set up to serve them anyway (best when fresh and hot). We are not fans of traditional American sugar bombs.
