Scoma’s Restaurant absolutely lives up to its reputation. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a true San Francisco classic warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why certain restaurants stand the test of time.

The food was outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the seafood, which was prepared perfectly and full of flavor. You can tell quality and care go into every dish, and nothing felt rushed or overlooked. This is seafood done right simple, elevated, and memorable.

What truly set Scoma’s apart, though, was the service. Hands down, it was the best service I’ve experienced since moving to San Francisco. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind it made the entire dining experience feel special and relaxed.

The atmosphere adds to the magic. Classic yet comfortable, lively but never overwhelming, it’s an ideal spot whether you’re celebrating something special or just enjoying a great meal out. Everything flows seamlessly, which is a testament to how well this place is run.

I’ll definitely be back, and it’s a place I’ll happily recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in San Francisco.

This restaurant is PHENOMENAL. Came here for date night with my boyfriend and it was all around such an enjoyable experience. Make sure to get a reservation beforehand, as they can get pretty busy. The food here was amazing, it was all so flavorful and just delicious. My boyfriend got a steak dish and he said the cut of meat was really high quality and that it was cooked to perfection. I got the clam linguine and it was also amazing. Finally the service here is just amazing, all the waiters are extremely kind and respectful. I will be coming back once I am back in SF!

If I could give this place a 10/5 I would. Greatest seafood experience in San Francisco and we will definitely come again whenever we visit next. The pier to plate is so worth it. We had the mixed seafood grill – the cod was PERFECT. Just an fyi, if you like your salmon more on the well done side, mention that. The next meal we tried was the Lazy Man’s cioppino and we got it spicy – amazing! That would be my go to next time. The service is fantastic, they take care of everything and check in frequently. Reasonably priced for seafood and location is prime. Def recommend!

This was such a highlight of our trip to San Francisco. Every fish was superb and the service was impeccable. Each dish was well executed. The cioppino was the best. I loved the pacific snapper and mushroom spaetzel. The riff on the Rockefeller oysters was genius, and they had such great clam chowder. Everyone working was attentive and the atmosphere was great. This is definitely the seafood place to go to.

This is an excellent, off-the-beaten-path restaurant serving fresh fish & seafood!! We grabbed an early dinner (being from a different time zone) and it wasn’t too busy. Our server, Heather, made our visit personal and memorable in the best way possible. We were early enough to catch the end of the lunch specials. While they were “lunch” specials, the portions were very generous! Truffle fries were our appetizers – BEST TRUFFLE FRIES EVER! Our group had a mix of starters, Caesar salad, beet salad, and clam chowder, all were superb. The Red Snapper, ordered by all, was the best fish any of us have had! A lemon tart finished off the meal. It was a perfect ending. FIND THIS PLACE ON THE DOCK!! You’ll be sorry if you don’t.

We stopped here mid afternoon on a Sunday and were seated quickly (although this is still a busy spot even at this sort of time). We ordered a carafe of the reselling on tap and decided to share the mixed seafood grill and the cioppino. The food arrived quickly and we really enjoyed the cioppino, although we found the mixed seafood grill a little underwhelming with it seeming to miss something (the fish was just ok, not the most flavourful and a little overcooked).

We were enjoying our late afternoon lunch/dinner so ordered another carafe of wine and desserts; dessert taster (made up of 2 cannolis, 2 chocolate truffles and 2 biscotti) and the drunken affogato. Both desserts were delicious, with the taster being great value for what you got. Unfortunately once we ordered desserts we felt a little rushed, with our check being brought to us whilst we were still eating desserts (and had half a carafe of wine to finish). The total bill (including tax and tip) was $330 and given the fairly quiet timing we would have enjoyed a more leisurely end to the meal (to the extent I actually felt a little unwell from forcing down my dessert and wine quickly given they clearly wanted to turn our table).

Whilst the food is largely very good, and I would recommend visiting if this is your first time to San Francisco, I am not sure we would return here. The ending of the meal just put a little bit of a dampener on the experience.

My experience with this restaurant’s cuisine was not positive. I ordered the seafood soup, which is one of their signature dishes.

My observations are the following: the quality of the tomato sauce was very low. The fish seemed to be cooked separately from the sauce, resulting in flavors that were not well integrated. The squid was rubbery and the baby octopus almost raw.

The quality of a good seafood soup lies in slow cooking and in the quality of the ingredients. The rest of the seafood was good (shrimp and scallops).

I really wanted to love this place, but the experience was a bit mixed. My main dish — the linguini clam vongole — just didn’t hit the mark on flavor, and a couple others in my party felt the same. On the positive side, the crab cake and fried calamari were genuinely delicious and definitely the highlight of our meal.

The staff was Luke warm, and the service style felt a little too invasive for my taste — lots of reaching around or leaning over, which made the table feel crowded.

Overall, some great appetizers and kind people, but the main dish and service style could use a little refinement.

This is a very unique place and from what I understand it has been around for a long time in San Francisco at fisherman’s wharf. My mom and I discovered it down an Alley and we thought we had found a gem! The food was delicious. The setting was awesome. It was the perfect restaurant for our vacation. It is on the pricey side though because I believe the drink I got was $15 and it was a non-alcohol drink. I think that is a little too much for a non-alcoholic beverage. The fish and chips that I got melted in my mouth. The batter was phenomenal! We had a seat in the bar area facing the bay which was lovely. We do have one recommendation. It was a little crowded because people do not always sit in their bar stools and they like to walk around and linger and talk to others. That created a bottleneck for the servers to get through that room to bring the food to the tables. My mom said that she thought they should remove the three tables in the bar area and put them elsewhere.

Food is a bit overpriced. The risotto did not have enough rice, and the crab tasted pretty mid. Pasta sauce seems low quality and their cheese is really tasteless.
Lemon tart was nice, but not the chocolate cake.
Overall decent.
