Best Historic Restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf

This is one of our favorite San Francisco restaurants. We have been enjoying the food and hospitality at Scoma's since childhood (1968 when it opened). The seafood is always fresh and well prepared with interesting side dishes. All types of seating available indoors and out, and they have a very lively bar scene. Great wine selection. And delicious desserts to finish off your visit.

I had a wonderful lunch today at Original Joe's. My server Sedat was outstanding and had great suggestions for menu items. I strongly recommend the Pineapple Punch (n/a), Joe's House Made Ravioli, and the Butter Cake. This was the best meal of the trip!

Great food, as always, how do they make bread taste that good! Good service, and a fun, friendly atmosphere.

Wonderful place with delicious authentic food. The pesto pasta and mushroom medley were absolutely delicious. The wine selection was great as well. We made reservations for Christmas Eve and we’re very happy we chose this place.

Lunch after a matinee is one of our Holiday traditions- this year it was just perfect. The restaurant was packed with diners waiting for tables lined up at the bar, so thank goodness we had a reservation (on a Monday at 3:00PM- who knew?). Once past that minor inconvenience, everything was absolutely wonderful. We shared the Tortelloni appetizer and even though I am an accomplished Italian home cook, it was the best we have ever had. Then we shared the Jack LaLane salad - partly because we grew up with him on TV and the nostalgia was undeniable- and it was perfect. It had a respectable amount of seafood and avocado and was very large. My husband said his Manhatten was excellent. We left vowing to come back soon and often.
