Abacá is an airy, atelier-style restaurant with a cool outdoor terrace, whipping up Filipino-Californian cuisine with flair in Fisherman's Wharf. It's the bricks-and-mortar spin off of chef Francis Ang's pop-up Pinoy Heritage. The lively menu is split up into barbecue sticks, noodles and rice, and small to big plates, but its far more nuanced than just that. Flavourful dishes pull from family recipes and are glazed with modern and heritage technique to result in a vibrancy that's hard to come by. It's grounded by local produce. Smoked Bay scallops lead in the seafood pancit, heirloom tomatoes top homemade tinapay bread, chicken skin is glazed in an adobe before hitting the grill and guinea fowl comes slathered with peanut sauce. A truncated list of creative Southeast Asian libations bring it full circle – if you're on the terrace, cool off with the Baguio breeze slushy – a dreamy mix of pandan-infused vodka, coconut and strawberry.

Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

    We had a great time. They were busy so service was a little “slow” which really meant we did not feel rushed. It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy the evening. Really a great night. Thanks

    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.
