SEAFOOD A throwback to the dining of yesteryear, Scoma s eschews trendier trout preparations and fancy digs for old-fashioned seafood served in huge portions amidst tripadviser a casual waterfront setting. Gourmands should skip this one. But if your idea of heaven tripadviser is straightforward seafaring classics like fried calamari, raw oysters, pesto pasta with rock shrimp, and lobster thermidor served with old-time hospitality, this is as good as tourist restaurants tripadviser get. Unfortunately, a taste of tradition will cost you. Prices are as steep as some of the finest restaurants in town. I d rather splurge at Gary Danko or Masa s. But many of my guests from out of town insist we meet at Scoma s, which is fine by me since it s a change of pace from today s chic spots and the parking is free. Pier 47. (between Jefferson and Jones sts.). & 415/771-4383. www.scomas.com. Reservations recommended. Most main courses $18 $38. AE, MC, V. Sun Thurs noon 10pm; Fri Sat 11:30am 10:30pm; hours change seasonally so call to confirm. Valet parking free. Streetcar: F. Bus: 10 or 47.
UNION SQUARE & ENVIRONS San Francisco s most congested and popular shopping tripadviser mecca is centered around Union Square. Most of the big department stores tripadviser and many high-end specialty shops are in this area. Be sure to venture to Grant Avenue, Post and Sutter streets, and Maiden Lane.
