Scratch features today's American cookery in an elegant setting. The cuisine is based on the premise of simple food done well and draws from American classics reflecting today's influences and bounty of ingredients. Choose from a tender moist braised short rib, fried chicken, or perhaps a selection from our fresh seafood and oyster bar.

For beverages Scratch has researched some of the finest vineyards and distilleries in the United States. We have a wide variety of wines and spirits to choose from in all price ranges. Some of our wine and spirits are highly allocated and will not always be available.

A friend of mine and I usually go out for Christmas lunch. We’ve tried a number of restaurants in the Bay Area and Scratch never disappoints. They fixed price menu has a lot of choices, and is delicious. Their cocktails and full wine list has something for everyone.. I should really make a point to come back on a non-holiday to see the regular menu.

What I liked: - The vegetables (cauliflower starter, brussels sprouts starter, broccolini that came with my filet, green beans and carrots side dish - No loud music, no Christmas music - The bread, especially the one with raisins in it What I did not like: - The filet, which I ordered medium rare and which came out rare at best - The service, which was generally courteous but also generally incompetent: misinformation several times about which fish was wild caught, great difficulty asking simply which fish the chef recommended (not how he recommended it be cooked), we had to ask for various pieces of silverware multiple times (and one time when we asked for a knife for the butter we got a spoon), and the fellow who swept crumbs from the table also swept off the two wine corks we were saving and needed (we got them back, but who would do that?), we had to ask for water refills, and timing was generally irregular

Great for families and big parties. Kid friendly and loud enough where you won’t hear meltdowns
