    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. The patio was open with plenty of seats. Unfortunately the food menu was limited to two items. Ordered the side of fries which were pretty good... very good actually. Staff was friendly. I'm sure it's busy for after work crowds.

    A tiny little bar known for their fancy cocktails that has wisely decided to offer breakfast and lunch during workday hours when people shouldn't really be drinking. A limited menu and a bit hit or miss at times. Quite reasonably priced for the FiDi though. Blueberry Muffin: Felt like something out of a Seinfeld episode. The muffin top was pure heaven and the muffin bottom was kinda nasty. The top was so airy and had a great crust on the portions exposed to the oven. Only downside of the top was that not many blueberries rose in there. Meanwhile, the bottom had a lot of blueberries, but the dough was off. Like it was a tad under cooked. I wonder if that's because it had such a wide circumference. I only had a few nibbles before giving up. Thankfully the large muffin top was quite filling. Ciabatta Bread: I was skeptical at first. It looked like a lunch sandwich that happened to have cream cheese on it. Turned out I was being too bagel biased; it was delicious! First of all the cream cheese wasn't spread, it was in thick slices that were just as creamy as a spread but in a larger portion. The crispy bacon and ripe tomatoes were a very nice flavor and texture contrast. And the ciabatta roll itself was chewy and had a nice crunch, so it was bagel-like, except not as dense. Roast Beef Sandwich: Felt like there was too much lettuce on this and it wasn't even good lettuce. The roast beef was tasty enough; better than Subway quality but not as good as joint that specializes in it (e.g. Top Round). The bread was decent; don't think it needed to be toasted though. I enjoyed the creamy horseradish, but felt like this sandwich was missing cheese (bleu would have been perfect).

    STOP. DROP. EAT…read more This place is an absolute gem. Food: We started with the clams and mussels, and they were phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and soak every last bit of that broth up with the bread--you won't regret it. Don also surprised us with complimentary scallops, and wow... next-level fresh. Some of the best seafood I've had. Drinks: Hands down the best margaritas I've had in California so far. I also watched Don make a Bloody Mary, and it was like watching someone craft a work of art. Every ingredient was intentional, and you could tell it was made with genuine care. Service: This deserves to be at the top because it's what made the experience unforgettable. Halfway through our meal, I realized my incredible bartender was actually the owner. Don is one of the most humble, genuine, and welcoming people you'll ever meet. His sons and daughter all work in the restaurant, and there's even a photo on the wall of his great-grandfather smoking a cigar while cooking crabs. This isn't just a restaurant--it's generations of family, tradition, and passion served on every plate. You can feel the heart behind this place the moment you walk in. Thank you, Don, for the outstanding hospitality, the amazing conversation, and a meal we'll be talking about for a long time. We'll definitely be back.

    (3/5) I've been coming to this restaurant for many years,…read moreand this was the first visit that left me disappointed. Overall, the food was good, and the service was okay. However, the clam chowder tasted much more like potato chowder than clam chowder, with very little clam flavor. The bread was served warm, but it quickly became chewy, which made it seem like it had been heated in a microwave rather than baked fresh. What stood out the most was the condition of the restaurant. It looked run-down, dated, and, unfortunately, not very clean. After many years of enjoying this place, this was the first time I noticed how much it seems to have declined. I hope management takes the time to refresh the restaurant and improve the overall cleanliness because it has always been one of my go-to spots, and I'd like to see it return to the quality it once had.

Perfectly blends w/ scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and market fish, served in "Mama" Scoma's tomato broth.

    The pasta I ordered wasn't fully cooked, and no one came to check on it--I was very disappointed…read more The service was merely average, but considering that most of the staff were older, I didn't mind the occasional oversight and ended up leaving a generous tip. The atmosphere is great, and there are many historical photos on the walls.

    Pub Crawl #3 Dark…read more Divey. Unpretentious. The place instantly brought to mind the classic TV show Cheers (1982-1993), where a tight-knit group of regulars gathered night after night at their local bar. This was our last stop of the night. We grabbed seats at the bar, surrounded by customers who all seemed to know one another. One friendly guy--there alone--struck up a conversation with the bartender and soon with us, too. The bartender poured us a shot of... well, I'm still not sure what it was--something my partner ordered. She filled it past the line on the glass, which impressed me. No fancy cocktails here, so I went for a margarita. People drifted in and out, most of them exchanging greetings and stories--clearly regulars.
