Alioto’s offers one of the most spectacular views of Fisherman’s Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the fishing harbor. The restaurant was established in 1925 and is now run by the fourth generation of the Alioto Family. Since then, little has changed, fish is still bought by Alioto’s full-time fish buyer, Al Spadaro.
Alioto’s serves a tantalizing selection of fresh seafood, including sea bass, sand dabs, sole, swordfish, tuna, scallops, and Dungeness crab all — all caught locally, whenever possible. A favorite is cioppino, a spicy tomato shellfish stew created by the restaurant’s founder, Rose Alioto.

Address: 1965 Al Scoma Way (Pier 47)

Scoma’s is a classic San Francisco seafood restaurant. In 1965, when brothers Al and Joe Scoma heard about a small coffee shop on the Wharf that was for sale, little did they know they were on the road to creating a landmark restaurant. The brothers bought the tiny, six-stool coffee shop on Pier 47 that served local fishermen breakfast and burgers, and began the long and ultimately successful process of turning the hidden local hang-out into one of the nation’s highest grossing independent restaurants.
With a pier steeped in history and a continuing commitment to support local fishermen, Scoma’s has achieved legendary status. To commemorate our 50th anniversary on Pier 47 in Fisherman’s Wharf, we set out to illustrate our story in an ever-evolving pier-to-plate menu. We serve Pacific seafood, caught on small boats, and brought to our pier by local fishermen. We also offer a full bar program with premium crafted cocktails and an extensive award-winning wine list to complement your meal. If you plan on driving, there is free valet service at our door.
For private dining, Scoma’s offers exceptional settings, specially designed menus, and personalized service for private parties and large groups. We can accommodate parties of all sizes up to 85 attendees, and provide a private dining location, subject to availability.

Since 1928, Eagle Cafe has been serving a hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner menu in Fisherman’s Wharf. We are famous for our breakfast items, such as house-made corned beef hash, banana pecan pancakes, Crab Benedict, and Boudin sourdough French toast with maple butter. For lunch, enjoy a killer Reuben, pastrami burger, fresh fish tacos, or some crab tater tots.
As San Francisco lore goes, in 1978 the Simmons family patriarch, Warren Simmons, helped devise a plan with Eagle Cafe’s owners, the Andreotti family, to move the restaurant from its former spot on the corner of Powell and Embarcadero. As the founder of PIER 39, Simmons had a keen interest in making sure the Eagle Cafe was part of the opening restaurant line-up and nothing was going to stop him, including red tape. The restaurant almost didn’t move anywhere as it was in a battle with the San Francisco Landmarks Board, which originally determined it had no historical or architectural merit. However, in a last-minute attempt to halt the restaurant’s move to PIER 39, the board suddenly changed its mind. Fortunately, the City Attorney vetoed the change and the infamous move went ahead.
As you might imagine, the Simmons family got a little nostalgic about the Eagle landing with us. Though Warren passed away in 2006, we know he’s smiling down on us and having a good laugh that after 40 years, his colorful connection to this restaurant has come full circle. Today, the Simmons family business is run by oldest son Scooter and grandson Ryan, not to mention a core group of employees who’ve been with us two and three decades who are like our family.
Not only is the Eagle our family’s place now, but since 1928 The Eagle’s been a welcome and frequented place by veterans and active military, as well as longshoremen who’ve worked the San Francisco waterfront when it was primarily used for shipping. We are grateful for those who came before us and those who fought for our great country. Our restaurant decoration and historical artifacts are a tribute, and in some cases a gift, from these very important guests.
