Scoma's of Sausalito

A great find! I visited Sausalito this weekend. The weather was beautiful for a meal outside by the water. Scoma's was so cute we decided to have lunch on the deck overlooking the water.

The food was fantastic. It came out piping hot. The linguini was perfectly al dente and the seafood was tender and flavorful. My friend had the Ling Cod and thought it was fantastic.
The service was very good. They checked on us often which I liked.

I highly recommend this restaurant. It added so much to our road trip!

Scoma's of Sausalito is truly a lovely restaurant with a view of the San Francisco skyline.

The dishes come in good portions, flavorful, maybe a bit pricey, but excellent in taste and presentation. We ordered fried calamari and gambas for starters. Yes, Pinot noir! Pear salad as well. Then, we shared lazy cioppino and frutti di mare. We didn't have desserts ... we ordered Mexican Coca Cola instead. Such a filling lunch for two!

I would like to compliment the restaurant staff for being polite and extra attentive. Always a nice bonus to have in a restaurant!

Oh, may I suggest, too, that you can take the 30-minute ferry ride from San Francisco. What an experience!

I really love this place. We had a great table in the back dining room with an amazing view. Our server was friendly and kind and was very efficient. I loved that we had our appetizers and were able to enjoy them and our drinks without feeling rushed to order our mains. It was perfect because the food came out quickly.
We had the Beau Soleil oysters, fried calamari, prawn cocktail, scallops, lobster risotto, sesame ahi and linguini with clams.
The bread is so good too wish my bread at home was that good.
It was the best food with friends and a beautiful day to enjoy the view!
Thank you Scomas for keeping this place alive! It's my favorite.

We came here to celebrate two adult birthdays. Beautiful restaurant and very accommodating for a party of 7. The service and staff were great and very friendly. The food was outstanding and delicious. As pictured they were flavor haven for the mouth.

Went on a Monday at 5:30. Walked right in. Such a cute restaurant! We got a white bottle of wine, should have been put on ice but we asked and they did. Server was polite and food was, how would I say, delicate. Clam chowder was amazing, the crab and shrimp cakes were good as well with the sauce. I got the scallops, they were good but not a ton of flavor, but it was tasty and what I expected, upscale and cooked well, flavored mixed well. Beautiful spot, I think there was a front area I didn't get to see but saw people going back there that maybe had a better view. Beautiful little place, great date restaurant.

Went on a weekday around 1pm, very few customers in this beautiful restaurant right on the water! Our servers were all very nice and attentive. As this place is right next to the ocean it's not surprising the menu is seafood centric.

Sitting at the corner tables right next to the windows facing the ocean, the atmosphere of the restaurant is a very suitable for a date meal!

The clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl was super taste! Lots of clam and the saltiness was right on point. We also ordered steamed clam in white wine and it's very tasty with all the basil! Last but not least the Cioppino was perfect for gloomy weather days, the warm tomato based soup with so much seafood in it.

It's just a short walk from the Sausalito downtown center parking lot, this seafood restaurant cannot be missed!

Birthday Celebration for the boyfriend!

Surprised my boyfriend with a reservation here at Scoma. This was both our first time at this restaurant. Parking was actually pretty easy to find on the street. The area is amazing! The weather was perfect!

We walked into the restaurant and was immediately greeted. The host was like it looks like we are celebrating a birthday and I quickly pointed to my boyfriend haha the host walked us to our table and we had to walk through the kitchen which was actually very nice.

We were seated at our table and the area was pretty tight but the view was spectacular. We were then greeted by our waiter. He went over the special and let us look over the menu. When the waiter came back to check on us we were ready to order. My boyfriend ordered a Shirley temple and I ordered a cucumbers kiss to drink.
For appetizers we ordered the following:
dungeness crab & oregon bay shrimp cakes- These were amazing but it only comes with two. Just a heads up if you have more than two people in your party will need to order more.
Oyster Sausalito- These were the closest thing to charboiled oysters but never the same of course.
Hog island oyster- These were okay. I've never had raw oysters before so they were okay.
beau soleil, new brunswick- I would say these were better than the Hog island oysters.

For our entrees:
my boyfriend ordered the new york steak- My boyfriend cleaned his plate! He thought it was delicious.
I ordered the Chianti Braised waygu short rib- I also cleaned my plate! I'm still thinking about this meal. I would go back just for this meal.

The dessert they provided for my boyfriend was surprisingly really good! Some restaurants provide vanilla ice cream but this vanilla ice cream was like creamy and way better than a lot of restaurants.

I would go back again and again! I would have to say this was a successful birthday dinner :)

The views here are beautiful, and despite the long indoor wait, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the scenery, and it made for a really amazing lunch. I wanted seafood as one does in Sausalito, so we ordered mussels, calamari, and the sole for our entree.

The service was amazing, and they kept bringing us their delicious bread and was very nice when explaining the options. We were able to split the sole, and for extra couple dollars, we were able to get them to split the dish and add a few more pieces of fish and sides. The sole was cooked really well, and it was super flaky and tender. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and despite the higher price point, I think it was worth to try a little bit of everything we got.

Scoma's is a beautiful restaurant right on the water and in the heart of a bustling street! There's a paid parking lot ~5 min walk away that we parked at when we came on a busy Saturday afternoon.

After making reservations online, we were seated quickly inside (a great choice, especially as it's getting chillier) with a superb view of the water! The service is fast and kind, and came out with a bread plate as appetizer.

For the food itself, we ordered 4 oysters off the daily menu, the clam chowder, and lobster risotto. The oysters were good (my favorite were the Hog Island ones), and the clam chowder average. The risotto was fine -- but we were expecting something more for the price! The presentation wasn't noteworthy and the rice wasn't especially soft.

The views were fantastic though!

Spent the day in Sausalito and came here for dinner. The inside is cozy and there is lots of seating. The service was fast, although our server only checked on us once during the meal and then when he offered us dessert menus. On the plus side, they do offer free bread!
We got the Alaskan Halibut Livornese and the Lobster Risotto. The sauce with the halibut was a tomato based sauce and it was good, but I think my halibut was a little overcooked. The Lobster Risotto was super good and rich. We noted in our reservation that we were celebrating and anniversary and our waiter was super nice and let us choose a dessert off the menu to celebrate. We ended up getting the tiramisu, which was really good, and he comped it! This is definitely a great place for a nice dinner or to celebrate any occasion.
