In the beginning Joseph was the "face" of the restaurants greeting you and building up a client base. Al dealt with more of the day-to-day business. Today Al's son-in-law Tom Creedon has taken over the day-to-day operations.
As they say on their website: " Voted "Best Restaurant" five years running by WHERE Magazine readers, Scoma's Restaurant continues to be one of the most popular restaurants in the United States... " You can take this to also mean PACKED. If you don't have some time on your hand you might want to pass it up. Unless you are the mayor, seating is on a first come first serve basis. Dinner time can get quite backed up, but we tend to make it there for lunch and haven't had too bad of a wait.
Restaurants are probably the hardest thing to recommend since peoples taste differs so much. What one person finds outstanding another can find mediocre. My wife has to have the best taste buds of anyone I've ever know so I figure if both my wife and I agree than it has to be pretty good. We find the food very fresh, well prepared and tasty. The prices are pretty high, but given where it's located and the other restaurants around, it's about par. We tend to stay on the prix fixe menu which is a value in comparison to the other items on the menu.
The most surprising thing is the building that it's located in. It's the original Fishermen' s building so some think it's rundown. For myself I find it fitting in with the Warf setting and evidently many other people do also.
I love the clamchowder and the seafood plater.

 There is a better
restaurant on that corner by altizachen
The last time I went the waiter was friendly and kept coming around to see if we were ready to order appetizers. We didn't want any and gave him our orders. He seemed upset that we didn't want the appetizers so after he gave us the food we never saw him again. Our water glasses went empty. He finally came around and dropped the check at our table.
The service was not what you would expect for the price neither was the meal. There are many other places that you can dine in the area with better prices.
The Martini was the only thing that I enjoyed. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 1 Al Scoma WayPhone: (415) 771-4383Directions: Fisherman's Wharf

Too many to mention. I have almost never had a bad meal in San Francisco. Eat anywhere in the North Beach neighborhood for fine Italian food. If you find yourself in Fishermans Wharf try Scouma's. Chinatown can be a little tricky to find a decent meal. I usually look for some place off the major thourough fares like Grant Ave. Try one of the side streets or even one of the office buildings. A good rule of thumb anywhere I travel, is find out where the local people eat and go there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

My wife and I love Scomas down on the wharf.
Wait staff makes you feel at home.
Just about any seafood. I'm partial to scallops. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: The Wharf. Also in Salsalito.

The bartenders have been there for years. They know everything and show great sarcasm!

Even though a SF tradition, this place is so well known/advertised that it's just too crowded. You're not considered a valuable customer.
Food is good, by pricey. Other places in the area give you better value. Waiters seem to have the goal to fill every table 6 or more times a night. Once you got a table, service is fast but not personal. You just got done with your plate and you get your bill. And other customers wait in a long line to push for your table.
If you're interested in good seafood at the wharf , try the seafood aisle, There are many places who appreciate your busy more and have better service.
I tried a clam chowder and grilled Snapper. Again. Food is good but not worth the price. Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$41 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 1 Al Scoma WayPhone: (415) 771-4383Directions: Fisherman's WharfWebsite: http://www.scomas.com
