    We had an early dinner after a show, and the restaurant was quiet enough to hear each other. As it got later, the noise level ramped up. My husband and I had whole branzino that was herb-crusted and stuffed with herbs and lemon slices. It was delicious. Our friends had the lobster roll and said it was good but not up to their standards. The desserts were delicious.

    Beautiful restaurant. Excellent and inventive food selections. Great cocktail menu and wine selection. Strange but service was slow -- even though there were not (yet) many other diners.

    Had a wonderful meal (brunch) with a friend. I had the crab cake with poached egg and she had the corned beef hash. We both thought our meals were delicious!

    Lunch time visit on a Saturday. Not very busy. Took a long time for someone to serve us. Ordered wine by the glass. Very long wait until server arrived and reported they did not have our choice by the glass (though menu indicated by the glass). Reordered and waiting a long time again. We ordered light since we had a play to attend. Ordered mussels and chipino, both indicated bread with the meals. Meals arrived, with no bread. Waited a few minutes thinking it would come. Never did. We asked and was told, they did not have what is on the menu. The server finally brought out some replacement bread (two different types - soft bread and semi burnt toast!! The food was pretty good. Not sure I will return.

    Great service and great food and a modern upbeat atmosphere. Some wonderfully different dishes like duck potstickers with a plum sauce; fabulous corn bread and a great variety of main dishes.

    Food was great. Seared fish was tender and thick. Spinach was fresh and not over-wilted. Crispy Brussels sprouts were done well and not soggy. Pumpkin cheesecake was right amount of spice. Decaf coffee was great quality and taste.

    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.
