    This is one of my most favorite meals of all time. I'm not the cook of the house, so I can only speak to how delicious this was. My fiance made it for me a few months ago. He just asked me what I want for our Valentine's Day dinner...this was my choice. Highly recommend, I could have licked the plate clean. Can not wait until tomorrow!

    I have made this sauce on three separate occasions and each time, my sauce separated before I could put all of the butter in the dish. I tried to remove the pan from the heat periodically, per the instructions, but when I got to a certain level, separation became inevitable. Definitely not an easy recipe to pull off...at least for me. Basically, I ended up with melted butter.

    This was good, but not outstanding. Sauce was good but didn't give the flavor bang for the expense of the champagne, vanilla or butter.

    Fantastic and so easy to make. Don't put off the vanilla - it's the secret ingredient in this recipe.

    You cannot go wrong with this recipe. I used it as an entree and served it with a rice and orzo pilaf. All you Valentine's should try this!

    Served this as an appetizer for a special engagement dinner I did for my friend. Everyone loved it. My significant other doesn't care much for seafood and has asked me to make these again as a main course!!

    This recipe is a keeper!

    Loved the scallops but the sauce had too much of a vanilla taste. If I fix it again, I would use only 1/2 of a vanilla bean. Great presentation though.

    My husband wanted me to try this recipe for company. He was intriqued by the champagne-vanilla combination. I had my doubts.
    I have to admit, they were delicious and my guests loved them and requested the recipe.
    I did not adjust the recipe. The scallops were beautifully browned but still tender inside and the sauce was excellent.
