Restaurants near American Carousel Museum

As always, Scoma's is a thoroughly professional and delightful restaurant. The "seasoned" waiters are always thoughtful and helpful. The cocktails (like my excellent Manhattan) are skillfully made. The fish is always super fresh. And the restaurant's cioppino is the best in San Francisco, I think.Yes, it's more expensive than it was before the pandemic. But the quality of the dockside restaurant is worth it.

Abacá provided me and my partner a lovely and unique experience for our 5th year anniversary! We arrived earlier than our reservation, and we requested to sit towards the back, closer to the door pass leading to the kitchen, and a full view of the bar. A lot of items caught our eyes looking at the menu, but we decided to go for the Salo Salo "leave it to the chef" menu option, which you also participate, and have your choice of the dishes provided in a 3 course meal. Our notable favorites had to be the Yellowtail Amberjack Sarciado, Kaldereta Dumplings (added on), Black Angus Hangar Steak, and the Isaw (secret menu). The Magtagal cocktail that my partner got had a nice sweet flavor that they really enjoyed as well. Finishing off, we left very satisfied and well taken care of by our community.

We had a table by the window so the view was perfect. We were seated as soon as we arrived. They have numerous dinner choices. The waitstaff is wonderful and very helpful. My husband had the salmon, I had a perfect filet mignon and my brother-in-law had the Thanksgiving special. We also took home a dinner for my father-in-law as he was not feeling well and the waiter made sure that the order was put in in a timely manner so it wouldn't be ready too soon or too late.

The Ambiance is welcoming, with a nautical charm yet relaxed vibe. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive managers and servers. Food is Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Creative use of spices and inclusion on the menu is very well balanced. Lobster ravioli, Cioppino, and the Mango dessert were my favorite. Overall a very delightful dining experience and highly recommended! Will be back soon.

Marvelous dining experience. Wine paring for the two of us was perfect and every dish was prepared to perfection. The knowledgable, gracious and attentive staff is to be commended. We were greeted warmly upon arrival which set the tone for the superior level of service received.
