Best Bars And Lounges in Downtown / Union Square

As visitors from New Zealand we had heard of Scoma's and we were hoping for an authentic seafood meal - we were not disappointed. We opted for the set lunch menu - our starters of roast beetroot salad and shrimp chowder were both good and our mains of crab Louie and snapper even better. Portions were generous, not like the smaller sized lunches in some restaurants. Scoma's scores in their attention to detail - the vegetables were all excellent, even the bread rolls were really fresh. Their set lunch is a great way to try Scoma's without breaking the bank. The staff were all professional, service was quick and we liked the way they anticipated our needs eg water, more bread, ready for the check etc, without us having to ask.

Carlos was an angel and made for a very enjoyable end of the evening celebration (we had dinner at The Cavalier and dessert at Marianne's. He was host, server, mixologist and DJ. Loved it. He asked us more than once what music we'd like to hear. He let us have a taste of a wonderful sweet potato liqueur. He checked in with us often, but not too much. We ordered dessert from the Cavalier menu. I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was lovely, especially with the butterscotch ice cream. My husband had the Tarte Tatin, which was an individual few bites rather than a slice of a bigger tart. Also yummy. The atmosphere was warm, clubby, and fun. We'll definitely go back.

Breakfast eggs were not tasty and not prepared the way you expect from 5 star hotel. Probably a corner restaurant makes it much better.

Great ambiance and vibe. I wish they had more food selections but overall the food was good.

The place is awesome! The Bar tender is just great. Drinks are top notch The food ……Great
