We ate in a back room but the short time we spent in the bar area was pure entertainment. Great guys and I hear they've been there forever. The real reason we kept going back was the food and cocktails though. I highly recommend the Irish Coffee for which they are famous for. Breakfast was solid and a good value for the money. We truly enjoyed chatting with our waiter who was open to making suggestion for places to visit that only the locals would know about.

I even had the decaf one since I needed to wind down for the evening, so I bet the regular tastes better. Had it with a clam chowder. Then had some French toast because I was craving it.

Lots of history on the walls to look at. I came here solo on business so it was easy to get a spot at the bar.

From the moment we walked in, the owner and staff made us feel like family. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and hospitable. What made our visit especially memorable was hearing the history of the restaurant. The owner shared stories about how the business began with his grandfather and even showed us family photos. It was wonderful to experience the rich family tradition behind this iconic Wharf restaurant, which has been family-owned since 1927. And the food was outstanding! The crab sandwich was fresh and delicious, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the clam chowder was some of the best we've had. Great food, amazing service, and a true San Francisco experience. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we were in for something incredible. The atmosphere feels classic, welcoming, and full of history, while still delivering the kind of quality that keeps people coming back decade after decade. Sitting right on Fisherman's Wharf, you truly feel connected to the waterfront and the fishing heritage that makes this city so special. We started with the house bread (which disappeared far too quickly to make it into the photos ) and an absolutely fantastic calamari appetizer. Light, crispy, fresh, and perfectly paired with the dipping sauces. To sip, we enjoyed a refreshing mocktail while my man kept it classic with a vodka soda. The star of the meal was the Mixed Seafood Grill featuring salmon, halibut, and cod. Every bite tasted unbelievably fresh--like it had gone straight from the boats at the pier to our table. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, flaky, and allowed to shine on its own without being overcomplicated. It's the kind of seafood that reminds you why San Francisco is one of the best food cities in the country. And because no great meal is complete without dessert, we finished with the cannoli. Crispy shells, creamy filling, pistachios, and just the right touch of sweetness to end an already amazing experience. What truly elevated the entire meal, though, was the service. Every member of the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the restaurant and its food. It's rare to find a place where the food, location, atmosphere, and service all hit a home run, but Scoma's absolutely delivered. If you're visiting San Francisco and looking for an authentic waterfront dining experience, this is a must. Fresh seafood, beautiful views, incredible hospitality, and a legacy that's been thriving since 1965--Scoma's was easily one of the highlights of our trip.

Although not quite unfriendly, the bartender did not seem super keen to acknowledge we had entered but did greet me and was friendly enough when I ordered the coffees. For $8, the Irish Coffees are quite the steal. Having not had an Irish Coffee made in a bar before (just terrible teenage connections), I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised at how strong the drink was. The whisky flavor was super strong, but slightly hidden under the also strong coffee flavor. The whipped cream did provide some creaminess to offset the whisky flavor also. Overall, we were happy with the drinks and thought they were a good value, but didn't feel super welcomed.

The restaurant has great seafaring decor and is right next to fisherman's wharf so the expectations are high. For breakfast the spinach goat cheese frittata was delicious and very well done.

I think it was all one big group as at one point, everyone left all at once. Loud music, electric with energy, cool vibes with open windows peering out into the street. A bit too loud personally as I felt like I had to scream or lean in to hear my friends. Only one bartender working during this rush which was wild to me as the man was making like 6 drinks at one time and had them all ready together. My cocktail was a riff on a granny smith apple which was really refreshing. My friends also got the bar's version of an espresso martini as well as a watermelon cocktail, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
