    It was our 50th wedding anniversary and they provided us with a beautiful table by the windows to look out onto the bay. The food was very good and I highly recommend the clam chowder. It is the best. Our waiter was very friendly and funny and I would love to go back again to enjoy another evening. Thank you Trident for making this night for us so special.

    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.
