My father has swallowing trouble, so ordered just a cup of chowder. It honestly felt like as soon as he placed his order, the waiter decided we weren't worth his time. There were absurdly long stretches of time without any check-ins or help. The food was reasonably good. Everyone was friendly. We weren't in a hurry, so it was sort of ok that it took so long, but it was abundantly clear that all tables around us were getting more attention than we were.

Classic seafood restaurant. Never disappointed. Friendly service from servers who have decades of first class experience.

Our appetizer, the calamari fritti , was tender and flavorful. Someone ordered a cup of the clam chowder -filled with fresh clams. Also ordered was the roasted beet salad with a few slices of avocado, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and some shaved horseradish. Though very good, it was pricey. When I see beet salad on a restaurant menu, I usually order it. Next time I will order something else. Linguini with clams was very good as was the gulf shrimp lumachini -perfectly seasoned. The halibut ordered came with sweet potato and saute'd spinach. Halibut was cooked perfectly. Tiramisu portion was good. The lemon tart was presented with the strawberries and whipped cream/marscapoine on the side which was perfect. The tart shell stayed crispy! The service was good when we started our meals, but as the restaurant became more busy, service slowed down. Although I mentioned on my reservation that we had a birthday, my husband had to let the waitress know. (second time I booked a restaurant on Open Table and no one noted the special occasion. Why are we checking a special occasion box??) The waitress gave us dessert menus and then hurriedly brought a scoop of gelato with lit candle. After singing the birthday song, she left. It took her quite a while to return to take our remaining party's dessert order. Support staff was attentive -replenishing bread/butter, filling water glasses and coffee cups. If you want fresh seafood that is well-prepared, Scoma's is a place to dine.

The dining experience was the best I've ever had. The staff, food, presentation and ambience were the best! I'm dying to go back!

My son and I were in town for the symphony. I made a reservation and called because GPS said we were going to be approximately 20 mins late. It was a Friday night, they held the table, and we didn't have to wait. The food was great. We had the cioppino and a dessert that tasted like a chocolate tiramisu. The service was excellent. They offer valet parking which was a huge plus for being in SF. I was very happy, we will return.

Professionals at every part of the service. Truly one of the best San Francisco seafood places if not the best. Every meal I've had here has been a knockout. Quite often the appetizers are so good I end up just eating appetizers all night.

I hear this is a staple in the bay! Must try to check out if you are ever visiting :) 5 Stars! Come check them out for sure! 10/10
If you love seafood, this is the place: the waiters are probably the originals from the 1900's. No joke. Old guys serving amazing food. They are funny and worth every penny.

Amazing. We are Bay Area natives. Our first visit As two weeks ago. We loved the experience and food so much we made reservations for the following week to bring my in laws. Everyone had a great time & delicious food. Service was top notch.

The seafood specials are fresh and delicious! The wait staff are courteous and attentive. They take their job serious and go above & beyond to deliver an amazing dining experience. Would recommend Scoma's to anyone visiting SF.

Service was absolutely terrible. The food and atmosphere were great, but the bad service really ruined the experience. Wait staff were very rude and inhospitable
